mistleglow: a winter kiss meme.

The month of December has been a cold one in Anchor, with the bots working hard to bring a little winter joy to the city. This year, there's a little extra surprise - the bots welcome the participation of the nanites, who are able to join in with the winter holiday protocols for the first time in a long time following their long imprisonment.

And what are the nanites doing? Well...this winter wonderland has been missing a conspicuous offender: the mistletoe. That's where the nanites come in...

▶ The nanites will be floating around in little swarms, lit up bright with various colors, and when they run into any sentient creature, they will enclose them in a harmless invisible shield with a radius of approximately three feet by three feet. Once the characters are entrapped, they'll be stuck for exactly one hour...unless they kiss!

▶ There is no compulsion to kiss, and characters are welcome to just wait out the hour and hope they're stuck with a good conversationalist, but if they want to get on their way, they'll have to kiss their fellow captive, in a specific way depending on the color of the nanite swarm that's trapped them.

▶ The bots will be helping by helpfully informing any trapped characters they need to kiss as they pass by. They won't say what kind of kiss because that would make it too easy. But at least now you know, right?

▶ This meme can be counted as game canon and used for AC if threads continue into January (don't forget: December is check-in only) if both parties wish. Characters who are not in the game are welcome, and threads from this meme can also count for application samples! Come join us!

▶ How to Participate: Just post a top-level detailing the types of kisses you're interested in, and then tag around to other people's top-levels.

▶ Kiss Type Legend:

RED: MOUTH ● ORANGE: NECK ● YELLOW: CHEEK
GREEN: FOREHEAD ● BLUE: HAND ● VIOLET: BUTTERFLY

She's still a little rattled, and he's not waiting for her to get her feet underneath her, but she manages it - though probably a bit slower than he'd like. A firm grip on his wrist with her free hand makes it a little easier, and once she's up, she's able to lean against that invisible barrier, which helps. The world still feels a little off balance, and she's sure it'll take a bit for it to settle, but she's not injured. Not really. Her tailbone is a little sore, but nothing is broken, which is good. She's not sure how she would mentally handle the restricted mobility of a cast right now.

"Thank you. I... wasn't expecting that." Which is probably the understatement of the century. "I'm Cho. Takahashi." She's seen him around. He's up at night while she is, roaming hallways, though he's never come to a communal meal, which is how she meets most people here. There's a little flutter of panic in response to a metal man towering over her, but she manages to smash it down. This isn't the same, barring the surface similarities. Not at all. She's fine. This will be fine.

Scaramouche releases her once he's sure she isn't about to topple over and waste more of his time; she's got the barrier to keep her steady now.

He's seen Cho around, too. But he isn't interested in having this conversation.

"Yeah. Do me a favor, babe." His hand is out again, an empty, open palm wordlessly inviting her to place her own in it. He gives her a playful smile. "Shake a leg, will ya?"
