a mistletoe (destruction) meme

The Mistletoe Meme

It was a quiet moment in Heropa, FL, when the next devious plot of an unknown organization was realized. With the holiday season upon all the town, bundles of mistletoe with interference technology hidden in the festive bows and pins holding them together was distributed throughout the town and into all the residences of the imPorts.

The interference technology creates a stasis field keeping imPorts trapped underneath it, protecting the mistletoe itself with a small barrier. However, it only seems able to hold two people at a time, and and the reaction of the nanites to sudden changes in chemistry brought on by embracing or kissing brings the stasis field crashing down, leaving the mistletoe vulnerable to destruction at that time.

It's up to you, imPorts, to break free of these mistletoe traps and destroy all the mistletoe in Heropa!

• Comment to the meme with your character(s). Specify if your character is open to kisses, hugs, or both!
  
• Comment around to other characters, getting trapped in the mistletoe's radius! Or hunting the mistletoe down. Either way, bring on the hugs and/or kisses!
  
• Have some light, silly, holiday fun!

[ more direct? ] Were you planning on pulling out mountain climbing gear?

[ it's a joke. he's not that great at joking. considering pretty much everything that comes out of thomas's face is monotone or halfway to monotone. right now there's a good mix of nervous in there as well. look, only person he ever remembers kissing (not in a his whole four weeks of memory, at least) was teresa, and that... wasn't a great time.

so, he'll be pretty dreamboaty here too, as he crosses his arms over his chest and nods, like they're talking over battle strategy. ]

Hm, yeah, we could. Depends on how much you're willing to risk. [ b/c cooties? or something? more easily transmitable through lips to lips contact? who even knows, he's weird. ] I've gotten out of it with less, but it was with people a lot younger.

[ most people his age or up means a mouth kiss. that's the pattern at least BUT HEY, PATTERNS CAN'T ALWAYS BE TRUSTED??? ]

Something like that.

[ Hands and feet are gear sort of??? But it's an equally terrible joke in turn, because she's... half serious. Risk is an odd word to her - she narrows her eyes a little, examining his face, then looking back up to the mistletoe. ]

Are you diseased?

[shuckit]

Don't let me stop the fun.

[ by all means, have at it. and okay, yeah, risk was a weird word. he's bad at this wording thing. especially when talking to girls. about things like kissing. or anything that isn't strictly business or angst. so that's fun, and he's furrowing his brow a bit. ]

In the sense of... going overkill when you don't need to. Not in infectious disease, so no, I'm fine, thanks for asking. [ that part is actually fairly obviously a joke, considering the way his brows raises and a short, humored exhale leaves him. ]

[ he gets a bit of an amused cant of her head in return, since even overkill attaches a degree of importance she just doesn't feel - this is a means to an end, and while it may be bothersome, it's not compromising anything of herself in the process, in her eyes. there's nothing attached to this to make it complicated for her. just a nuisance, with someone who's tolerable and reasonably intelligent and proactive.

it could always be worse. (her mind's eye turns to Jean...) ]

Just lean down a little. There's nothing I have that you can catch, so we're equal for that much.

[ one does not merely catch titan shifting. she gestures for him to come closer, aiming to rest a hand on his shoulder mostly to hold them both steady for the brief moment this is gonna last. the hilarity in all of this being that annie would be less calm if someone were telling her straight up i want to kiss you, so it actually makes everything easier when this is a means to an end no one should really care about. super simple, right? ]
