mistletoe 2: mistletoe harder

[idolpro]

Who: You!
Where: Game Tower, to start
When: Day 187

[ It's snowing outside. . . ! So it's pretty cold. You know what's not cold, though? The Game Tower! It's nice and warm and you are definitely being yoinked out of wherever you currently are for a possibly familiar ~game~. Don't worry though: you don't have to stay.

Instead of the elevators opening, the rules just appear on your phone. There's hot cocoa provided in the lobby, though in limited quantity and all of them come with marshmallows. Mandatory marshmallows. If you don't like marshmallows, well, too bad!

Incidentally, there are also a bunch of green plants growing around . . . everywhere. Everywhere!! At the doorways, in the elevators, just hanging from the ceiling, growing parasitically on plants that aren't even mistletoe . . . !? Where did they come from!? They're all tied with a red ribbon too, to make them more easily visible and clearly part of the game. They're not restricted to the game tower, either - the only places mistletoe doesn't show up in are the unit dorms. ]

RULES | TURN-IN - due 12/26/19 @ 6PM PST

That could be taken in a variety of different ways.

[deicider]

[GROANS]

I know! Everything thinks I want to hug them.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oh is that what they're thinking?

I was contemplating if I could get away with picking you up without taking a boot to the knee.

[deicider]

That may be a high-risk move for other people, but not you.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You flatter me, Commander.

[And he moves to place a hand at the small of their back]

[deicider]

[Cardgian lightly puts his hands on Intensity's shoulder, curious if Intensity can dead lift them.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Ha ha ha ha ha.

(No.)

He'll be moving in for a low dip (the other arm sliding between their shoulder blades) a la "name-a-ballroom-dance-of-their-choice".

Added bonus: the chance of dropping Cardigan now is low.]

[deicider]

[Cardigan is very accommodating, not tensing up at all.]

Wow Chief, who have you been practicing on?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Without missing a beat]

Man Eater obviously.

[deicider]

Oh, no wonder you've got the balance down. When you kiss me, do I get the bonus of them trying to kill me, too?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Laughs out loud at that]

You make that sound like a perk.

But, no. If you want to be his rival, woo him properly as a rival. He deserves that much straightforwardness.

[deicider]

You're right. I wonder if we'll get the Hunger Games again...
