imeeji_frontstage | mistletoe 2: mistletoe harder

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

[Waving from a lawn chair]

[comes on over]

Are you not participating?

Nah, sitting this one out. I'm helping WC with hugs, but I don't mind giving Duality a hug either.

Really? I'd like that.

[Standing from the lawnchair then, opening an arm]

[walking right into that hug, giving him a solid hug back]

[Curling his arms around Duality's shoulders then]

I always forget you're shorter than me.

[...leaning into the hug]

Ah... I don't think about it a lot either. Do you know how tall you are? My profile says 176 centimeters.

About 184 last I checked? I think I grew a little though.

That's not a lot at all. Technically.

At least not too much that I can't hug you comfortably.

Taller is taller!

That's true, and you are. I don't mind that.

I would hope not!

[a small smile, before he lets go to step back]

Of course not. I remember being one of the tallest in my class. It's refreshing to know someone my age who is taller than me.

Mm, Mori is pretty short. I don't know anyone else in your class though.

Mm, there are a few I remember, but not all of them. I think I remember only one who is taller than me, but all I remember is trapping him in ice for the competition...

[he looks vaguely guilty]

Well, it WAS a competition.

True, but... I wasn't in the best of moods. I overdid it, because I was annoyed, and took it out on him. He didn't deserve that.

I have a hard time picturing it, but I know you probably have your bad moods too.

... I can be very petty.

I can too, so I won't judge.

Haah... I am glad to know that.

That I'm petty?

Ah... well... no, I mean that you won't judge. And I don't judge you for being petty either.

I appreciate that.
