SHOOT. Who put that there?! Well, you’re caught - pucker up!


How to Play

  1. Post your character and canon in the subject line
  2. Next person who responds is the one you’re caught under the mistletoe with!
  3. Go as awkward, sweet, or embarrassing as you like! (Quick cheek peck? Full French? Sure! But you have to kiss or the Nargles will get you!)
  4. Comment, Tag, and catch others under the mistletoe. Have fun!

[Conrad probably should have been paying better attention, but when someone's about as short as Hanna--

No, no, kidding. He's taken care to be attentive to such heights as a result, which is why when he's almost jostled into poor Petra, he gently grabs her shoulders in an effort to keep her from being jostled even more.

And then come the mumbled, awkward apologies.]


Sorry-- pardon me, I-- was just--

[ Petra jumps a bit as she's bumped into and steadied and wow hey hold it there. She merely laughs, however. ]

Hey, don't worry about it! It's alright.

[ He hasn't directly called her short, after all. No damage taken! ]

S-still.

[God, this is awkward.]

I mean, if you're fine never mind about it.

[Maybe he can just... back away slowly. Salvage the situation.]

[ She giggles at his shifting, before she catches something in the corner of her eye. Sorry Conrad, she's not going to let you leave just yet. ]

Ah, sorry to ask, but I've seen that thing hanging around various places, what does it mean?

[ Yes, yes she's pointing at that mistletoe. Right above you, kind sir. ]
divampire: (wait what)

[His eyes follow her finger up, and--]

Fuck.

That... would be...

[HOW IS THAT EVEN THERE what is his life.]

Mistletoe. It's. A really bizarre tradition-thing-- it's-- [Flustered? Conrad? Never.]

[ She claps her hands together. ]

Another tradition? Like pumpkins for Halloween? What does this one symbolize?

Iiiiiiit means you have tokiss who you're under it with it's a bizarre old tradition.

[Mumbling??? never. Where would you get that idea?]

[ ... ]

Come again?

[His health would be damaged by this if he wasn't already dead.]

Kiss. The tradition... Is to kiss. Whoever you're under it with.

[But it's not like it's magical or anything...

Right?]

Oh! ... Oh.

[ She flushes a bit, looking to the side. ]

What happens when you don't?
divampire: (ғᴏʀ ʏᴏᴜʀ sᴀɴɪᴛʏ)

[personal profile] divampire 2013-12-16 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Nothing? I think.

[He hopes. He'd say he isn't superstitious but he's also a British vampire, so--]

As long as it's... just mistletoe.

[personal profile] petral 2013-12-16 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Well... Better safe than sorry, I guess? [ Yeah.... Ok, she's gonna step a bit closer.

And with this distance she realizes he's a good amount of inches taller than her... ]


Just let me know if this isn't okay, alright?
