THE MISTLETOE MEME

It was a quiet moment in the imPort cities, 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 the cities!

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!

...other times I really wonder what we've gotten ourselves in to. [all right, so- from what he's HEARD, following the tradition generally breaks this, fittingly enough. however, about the only way he'd follow it would involve something on the cheek or forehead. and even that seems more than a little awkward, so he ain't bringing it up.] I take it your powers aren't cooperating?

[What does it say about her that solving this traditionally never crossed her mind? In what universe does that actually solve problems? No, there's a scientific reasoning to all of this if she just thinks about it hard enough. ~~This might be more Fred's area of "expertise".~~

Gogo taps on the 'wall' with her knuckles.] I'd say it's a blocker except I can still move what I have on me.

So, containment, as opposed to full nullification. Can you affect what I have?

[he's got a watch, a set of keys, a credit card or two...]

[She jingles his keys with a twist of her fingers.]

We've got enough metal between us that I could make something if I had to, but no guarantees that you'd get your stuff back.

What a way to spend Christmas. [....seems like just another day at the lab, really.]

[jingle jingle indeed. he pulls them out of his pocket, looking up at the mistletoe as he removes one from the keyring]

...can you propel it with enough force to break it, maybe?

Theoretically, if I can generate the necessary energy.

[She holds her hand out, palm up and calls the key to it. Contained in a sphere of magnetism, she focuses on the metal; rotates the key in place until it's spinning fast. Static sparks off the sphere as she concentrates. It's harder than one would think to keep the energy circulating in such a small space and her hand trembles with the effort of keeping it from flying off at random.]
