mistleglow: a winter kiss meme

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...
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.

And it's also why he jumps at the familiar click of Cho's shoes echoing through the hallway, only settling somewhat when Cho calls his name. He takes a second, but he eventually manages to respond.
"Y-Yeah! Yeah... It, uh, it was gettin' a little stuffy in my room, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to get out fer a bit."
He's not sure where to focus his gaze, so he keeps it straight ahead, towards his knees.
"What brings you out here, Miss Cho? You doin' the same?"
no subject
He'd been so eager to work on the filters, and so helpful. She's hoping this could be a similar win-win situation for the two of them. Also, it will make it easier for her to keep an eye on him, and she does worry. She tries not to, but she can't help it. He's a sweet man, and he so hates to think that he's any kind of burden.
no subject
"Sure! I don't have much else goin' on, and I ain't about to turn down helpin' a lady."
He offers one of those classic lopsided grins to show it's a harmless, playful comment, and one that's based in sincerity. He really is that excited to help!

With his hand firmly in Cho's grasp, Kieran straightens up to his full height, no doubt towering over her.
"I'm ready whenever you are. Lead the way!"
He's become an expert at being led along by his friends--he'll keep up with her pace without a problem.
no subject
Again.
Seriously, why?
no subject
"Ah, dammit, I'm sorry!"
He backs up to give her space... and winds up bumping against one of those invisible walls as well. Tentatively, Kieran reaches out with an arm to feel around them and sighs.
"...Is this one of 'em nanite traps?"
no subject
oh gosh I thought I responded to this!! Apologies!
And yes, definitely, most people make this poor guy nervous.
"Y-Yeah. I got trapped with, uh, with Miss Elleru and Ben before."
He pauses.
"Uh... separately. N-Not together. If that makes any difference."
Okay, time for a topic change.
"Have you gotten trapped yet?"
no subject
It wouldn't have been a problem with Elleru - she's easily got head and shoulders on Cho. Here, he's just as likely to accidentally smash his nose against her forehead as he is to get it right on the first try.
no subject
"I-Is this alright?"
He's not sure if Cho's going to want to kiss him or not--with his track record back home, the latter is far more likely than the former. That said, he can feel his heart ramping up a bit with the very prospect that he could share a smooch with her.
no subject
Or did he kiss only one of them? Is the prospect of kissing her making him nervous because he doesn't want to? "We can wait for it to wear off if you don't want to kiss me, Kieran. I won't be offended if you'd rather do that. I promise."
no subject
Kieran scrubs at his face with both of his hands and leans his head back against the barrier in a bid to get himself together. He heaves a deep sigh before he tries speaking again.
"I don't mind kissin' you, Cho. Honest. I just..."
Ugh. Being vulnerable with feelings. It sucks.
"I-I just figure that someone like you ain't gonna want to kiss someone like me. Miss Elleru did before we we got trapped, and Ben was okay with kissin' my hand, but it ain't... I ain't the kind of person that smart, pretty ladies like you want to be around. Y-You get what I mean?"
