BECAUSE IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR



Mistletoe Meme
 
Huh... There's a mistletoe right above you... That's weird, it's Decemb-- oh wait it isn't December in-game, but still! And look! There's a someone else stuck with you under there right now! And, of course, you both can't move until you kiss one another (Of course, not specifying where that kiss needs to happen).

RULES:
»POST with your character and their canon.
»SPECIFY Prefs, if any.
»TAG all the people!

»if you'd really rather avoid the kiss, fee free to replace "kiss" with "tell a secret"!

[Koumei peered down at the young man and fox standing before him, also seemingly stuck underneath the strange plant hanging from the ceiling. Flicking his gaze upward, he ran his fingers through his knotted hair in a quiet show of his confusion and frustration.]

...It seems we're both trapped now, [he murmured, fingers of his other hand tightening into a white knuckled grip around the handle of his feathered fan.

Tempting as it was to Djinn Equip and use his Dante Al-Thais, he didn't want to both reveal the nature of his skills or waste his Magoi on something so frivolous.]
yaayaa: (小麦ついて)

!!!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!??!?

It seems we are....

[Nakigitsune stared quietly up at the man in front of him - and the plant overhead. Was this the plant's doing? Could plants do that? He honestly wasn't sure. The fox, too, was at a loss, tail swishing as he joined Nakigitsune in staring at the offending greenery.]

Would you happen to know how to get out of this situation, Koumei-san?

I've no idea, Sir Naki. Little Fox.

[Because it felt wrong to not address the both of them when he was speaking.]

Normally these plants grow outside, on trees. Not in hallways.
yaayaa: (no.....)

:OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Maybe he'll have to kiss both of them to escape the mistletoe...Naki tilted his head, questioning.]

...Did it move? [Can plants move? But why would a plant want to be indoors? He doesn't understand plants.]

XPPPP

[Oh. Naki spoke.]

Not on it's own. Somebody had to have placed it up there.

[And how it was able to stay alive was completely beyond him.]
yaayaa: (i'm terrible at keywords)

DDD:

Tsuru-san?

[For who placed it there, he means. Still staring...Naki made another attempt to leave the spot, but to no avail. It was like his feet were stuck? Only there was definitely nothing on the ground, he was pretty sure.]

Maybe we can find information on this through the cerevice? Or call someone to assist us, somehow.
dishevelment: (thinking too hard)

:O

I'm not sure, to tell the truth.

[In answer to both questions. Koumei was well out of his depth in this regard-- he did not understand a thing about why people would hang mistletoe up on the ceiling like that.]

...Do you know someone who could help? I don't have too many contacts in this city yet who could answer us.
yaayaa: (but i'm lazy)

[personal profile] yaayaa 2015-12-06 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
Well...

[The fox isn't sure, but Naki pulls out his cerevice anyway. They still have the internet!

.....Though now that he thinks about it, he can't look it up if he has no idea what it is.]


Ah. Do you know what sort of plant this is, at least?
dishevelment: (curious birdie)

[Ah, the internet! The mysterious archive that contained more information than he could read through in ten lifetimes was still a little too strange-- a little too magical-- for him to even dare touching.

But, who was he to stop another?]


It's mistletoe. I think. Or, holly-- honestly, I've never seen either with white berries before.
yaayaa: (on my front)

[Slowly typing in mistletoe...looking at the results.....

"Mistletoe is the common name for most obligate hemiparasitic--"

........Handing the results to Koumei instead.]
dishevelment: (wow such deadpan)

[personal profile] dishevelment 2015-12-07 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[--Koumei was just as lost at "obligate hemiparasitic--"]

...For all of these advancements in information and technology, couldn't they have found a way to make the information more easily understood?

[He warily scrolled down the page, gingerly touching the screen with a finger as if he were waiting for the device to explode in his hands. The results, on a digitized document entitled 'BioPedia', were needlessly long winded.

Wasn't there a concise definition for people who didn't have the time to wade through paragraphs as deep as a flooded ravine?]
yaayaa: (to yap)

[personal profile] yaayaa 2015-12-07 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Somewhere far down on that page is a mention of traditions and kissing and stuff. It's a thing!

Meanwhile Naki's just gonna watch him and hope for answers.]


I suppose they want to be thorough with their answers...?
