NOW KISS

[justpastdawn]

 ✾ MISTLETOE MEME ✾

All right guys, since we can't do this in-game, we shall have an OOC meme for it instead! Nothing will carry over into the game, so just have fun with it. Here's how it works:

• You are stuck under a random mistletoe.
• There is a note on said mistletoe.
• Whoever comes within range will be pulled under the mistletoe and also be stuck.
• Now you both have to do what the note says to get unstuck.
• EMOTIONS ARE STILL IN EFFECT so have fun with that.

The "orders" range from cordial to making out, so state your preferences. Feel free to mix and match them, too. Here are your options:

1. Hug. Easy enough. Can be a simple hug or a giant bear hug.
2. Kiss on the cheek. For those who might be a little shier.
3. Kiss on the hand. For those who want to be...well whatever kissing on the hand invokes. Charming? Dashing?
4. Kiss on the lips. 1-2-3 KISS. This is the tame version of the next one.
5. Make-out for five minutes. As described on the tin.


Blatantly copied over from last year. Have fun!

I'm guessing we need to feel some positive emotion, then. We've already gone through the gamut of the usual negative ones.

[ She put a hand on Veigar's shoulder. ]

Veigar, I'm really impressed by the breadth of magical knowledge you've managed to acquire. A lot of people worry so much about how other people will see them if they're caught researching into the 'dark arts', but you're not one of them!

[ Veigar blinked a few times and for a moment, ever so slightly, he might have looked flustered. But it quickly got replaced with his usual overbearing confidence and he grinned wide.]

Of course! Why would I care? All magic is open for study, research and usage as you attain more control and power! You yourself are no slouch either! You're rather adept and I can see the immense potential.

[manasponge]

Why, thank you!

[ Marcille puffed up a bit at the compliment. ]

It's just a bit bothersome, that's all. Ostacization... fear... people refusing you access to great libraries... It's just so wonderful to meet someone who understands the true nature of magic.

People label magic 'dark' or 'forbidden', but the truth is that classifications like that are really quite silly! I mean, healing magic can and has been used to torture, but people consider it 'white magic' regardless.

You are way ahead of the pack when it comes to understanding magic and it's nature and that's a very good thing. [Understanding magic as more than mislabeled schools was the first step to acquiring true power and Marcille truly had shown that potential.

The moment was pleasant and it even caused Veigar to possibly genuinely smile. And for that time, forget that they were still stuck after all.]

Not many understand the intricacies and true nature of magic, giving it useless labels such as those. It just limits their potential and perspective.

[manasponge]

Ohohoho! That's so true!

[ oh no, it was a positive feedback loop. How would Marcille ever get out of this vicious cycle of pride and conceit?

...of course, they still weren't going anywhere. ]

Well, all in all, I guess I just wanted to say... thank you. After all, you've been really invaluable in my research, and it's so nice to talk to someone who understands.

[ Getting a bit carried away, she leaned in and gave him a hug. It wasn't something she usually did, but... eh! ]

[isthatashortjoke]

[Veigar tensed up some at the embrace but after a moment returned the gesture, adding a few pats on the back.]

Right, well... Thank you as well, I agree with the pleasure of having someone who understands. Ahem.

[Oh look, they could move, will you look at that!]
