[ i said i wasn't posting an overflow and then you guys got to 2k already anyway

for those who pass by the Game Tower, your phones will blip with the instructions to the game. It looks like even if you didn't actually come in for the beginning, you can still participate. . . !

The hot chocolate is gone, though. It's still snowing outside too. Well, maybe there could be hot chocolate in the kitchen - ! If you make it, that is - both in the sense of heating up the chocolate yourself as well as in the sense, of, well. There are at least a bazillion mistletoes in your way and we have at least two kissing demons here, so. . . Fight hard. ]

There's gotta be better reasons to kiss someone than that. Like, does the mistletoe do something? Does it play music or make romantic shojo bubbles or something? Come on.

[dragonheartedgirl]

It's probably just an excuse for people to do what they want anyway if they're shy.

[unbr8kable]

Then people should do it 'cause they want to, not for money or 'cause they're forced to, that's gross.

[dragonheartedgirl]

...

[ I think people should be able to kiss for whatever reason they want to. but. what's a more diplomatic way of approaching this...? ]

... Sometimes people are shy and need a little nudge to pursue what they want to. It doesn't necessarily mean that it's less genuine. Or that it can't be just for fun even if it's not a heartfelt confession.

... I'm surprised it bothers you so much.

[shifts, frowning, as if she’s also surprised it bothers her so much]

...Sometimes people don’t need any extra pressure. Just feels—mercenary. What if your first with Raijuu was ‘cause some asshole demons thought it was funny? You’re always gonna wonder...right?

[ erm.

okay welLL on the ONE HAND they were kissing privately BEFORE games but NOBODY KNOWS THAT. On the other hand... ]

Actually, the reason I ended up with Raijuu and Shuten in the first place--it happened during a game. We did kiss then.

[ THE SAME ONE. truth or drink... was a time... ]

But I had feelings for them well before that... I just lacked the courage and the opportunity.

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ soooombering somewhat. ] ... This is just my personal opinion, because I do understand what you're saying, about it being wrong for people to be forcibly moved past what they're ready for, but personally--with the way this place operates, taking people away at random, we don't really know how long we have with the people we love. Shuten's already been gone for seventeen days and I... don't know how long it will be before I can put an end to the things I regret not saying and doing before they took him away. Rather than worry if someone I can't see is laughing at me, I want to spend as much time as I can with those people, expressing my feelings at every opportunity--even if someone had ulterior motives in making that opportunity appear. And if anyone else feels the same way, then I can hardly blame them for taking advantage of this either, no matter how silly it is.

[unbr8kable]

[That

Is not a bad point]

[She purses her lips, re-folding her arms]

Well-- What if you don't know if you feel the same way? You're just supposed to suck it up?

[dragonheartedgirl]

No, of course not. If you're not sure, or not ready, then you should say so. If someone really loves you, then they'll respect that. I just think, once you know, if you both feel the same way--there's no shame in that.

[unbr8kable]

[Looks away, but can't really argue with that]

.........Yeah, I guess. If you feel the same way.

[dragonheartedgirl]

You won't know if they feel the same way if you don't ask, though.

[ do u have feelings for someone nemesis ]

More importantly, does this mean we all gotta go around worried about rogue kissing 24/7 now? I feel like that's gonna get old pretty quick.

[dragonheartedgirl]

I'm sure you can always make it clear you don't want to play--or that you're only interested in a kiss to the cheek at most.

...

And worst comes to worst--unit areas should be kiss-free zones, I expect.

[unbr8kable]

Hahhh... Guess a kiss on the cheek's not all that much, huh...

[...absorbing that and looking a little less awkwardly uncomfortable though]

...Not too bad of an idea, though. Take charge from the get-go...then you know what you're getting into, huh. That your plan, laying down ground rules? Or just, uh, playing it by ear?

[dragonheartedgirl]

A cheek, or hair, or hand--those are all fairly neutral, I think.

[ hm. how IS she going to play this one...? ]

I suppose by ear. There's people I'm comfortable playing this with, and those I'm not. If I don't want to kiss them, then I won't.

[ just. bluntly. ]

Winning isn't everything.

[unbr8kable]

[nods again, slow, but less uncertain this time]

...Sounds more reasonable when you say it. But...yeah, feels that way for a lot of stuff around here lately.

[dragonheartedgirl]

That's certainly true.

[ please excuse her while she. takes a moment to think. on... things. and then ]

Would you have any objections to playing this game with me?
