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"!

There is no help for him now

[good_ideas]

If I could, do you think I'd still be standing here?

[Shiho crosses her arms, already on the defensive.]

Who put that there anyway?!

Game over music intensifies

[moribound]

I don't know. [Minato does a good job maintaining his poker face, but he's honestly starting to get nervous and Shiho's crossed arms aren't helping much.] I'll try to cut it down first...Siegfried! [She must already know what he can do by now, so Minato's going to summon his Persona to dispense of the plant and-

Nope, he's still rooted just close enough to Shiho to kiss her and not nearly enough to get away.] Looks like we're still stuck here.

RIP Minato

[good_ideas]

[The Persona had looked very promising. Who knows, maybe no one had actually thought of cutting the mistletoe down and his plan would actually work.

Sadly, it doesn't, and Shiho is left looking very disappointed as Minato stands much too close.]

Great.

........... [One very dramatic, annoyed sigh later.] ....Maybe we should just get it over with. And not talk about it. Ever again.

[Or maybe she should try to burn the plant??]

[moribound]

Yeah, that's probably for the best. [Minato could have told Shiho burning the plant wouldn't have worked since it was magically blessed by a goddess, but he gets the feeling she might want to burn that goddess too.]

The myth doesn't say who's supposed to do the kissing though. Which do you prefer? [Mind you he's not asking Shiho to kiss him, so much as he wonders if she's okay with a guy kissing her.]

[good_ideas]

[She will totally burn that goddess. Don't take a high school girl's first kiss lightly! (okay technically this is her third first kiss already but it's not her fault she keeps having ones that don't count)]

Prefer...I-...does that even matter? Why, do you have a preference or something?

[moribound]

I don't. It's just that you mentioned that you didn't like being touched, so... [Please don't reverse his Social Link, Shiho!]

[good_ideas]

.........this is just a kiss, isn't it? What are you planning on touching, exactly?

[And here she thought you were pure, Minato.]

[moribound]

I wasn't planning on touching anything. [He's honest about that, not that this is immediately obvious by how he's already moving closer to Shiho.] Let's just get this done with.

[good_ideas]

[One heavy sigh later-]

Fine. I'll trust you, just this once.

[Now kiss her. Or something. (And don't let Hyoubu find out because she doesn't feel like saving anyone today.)]

[moribound]

Thanks for the show of support, Sannomiya-san. [Crisis averted! Contrary to what Shiho might think Minato doesn't have much of a problem kissing girls, he just has a problem with kissing girls at the wrong time and causing them to flip on him with the additional penalty of reversing their S. Link.

The legends about mistletoe never specified how passionately these kisses had to be, so Minato's going to cut to the chase with a light peck on Shiho's cheek that lingers for a split second longer than necessary. He pulls away just as quickly, moving to the left to see if they're free now.] Can you move freely now?

[good_ideas]

Hmph. [That's not her show of support, it's her giving in, mostly.

She almost flinches when he kisses her cheek but at least it was over quickly and cheek kisses don't count in Shiho's tally of first kisses.]

Yeah, I think so. Huh, so something like that works too.

[moribound]

[And Minato was just being deadpan as usual, not that it's easy to tell when he sounds like that all the time.]

The legends only specified that it had to be a kiss. The goddess Frigga promised a kiss to anyone who stood underneath it as thanks for everyone who helped in bringing back her son from the dead...the berries are supposed to represent her tears.

[good_ideas]

What, so as long as they stood underneath it? Even if they never did anything?

That's stupid.

[moribound]

Most deities aren't what you could call wise. ...Let's get away from here before it happens again.

[good_ideas]

Hmph. That's the best idea I've heard all day.
