KISS KISS FALL IN LOVE

Who: All You Merry People
Where: Game Tower (and BEYOND)
When: Day 312 evening into Day 313 morning

[As you enter the game tower, you're met with a beautifully-lit pathway. You can hear the faint notes of The Hymn of the Damned Queen of Yuletide, etc. etc, but at least it's at the right tempo this time. The pathway leads to a stage with two familiar faces standing under the spotlight. As soon as you enter, dozens of lights burst on, and as you glance up, you see it... mistletoe.

Along with that most festive of parasitic plants, you now get a closer look at the decorations, which, while beautiful and elegant, are also a little... strange and off-putting. Especially this one. There is a wardrobe next to the stage labeled "FESTIVE CLOTHING", and if you are so inclined, will provide you with some holiday cheer. If you decide to leave the game tower, you'll find that the mistletoe extends far beyond into Tokyo-F, hanging from every available nook and cranny for the duration of the game. There's no compulsion to do anything if you're near it--it's just in everything. Which also means the game is not just confined to the tower. That's right: nowhere but your dorm rooms are safe from the festivities.

The rest of the decorations seem fairly standard for a festive party game: there's drinks, there's food, and there's even a karaoke setup onstage. There's also a large display of candy canes in a variety of colors...

Before you can do anything, however, your hosts speak up.]

"Hmhmhmhm...! So, we meet again. Perhaps you were not expecting such faces to welcome you, but regardless, here we are--to welcome you, our friends. The time has come... for the traditional game of kissing and mischief! Be not alarmed: this game will surely be the most exquisite and elegant one thus far."

"Fu fu fu... yes, welcome to the amazing, splendorous world of love we have created for all of you to partake in, as if you could feel the apricity from our hearts...!"


[Yes, this is happening. I'm so sorry. Also Yasuragi is hanging out by the drinks, like ya do.]

RULES ~ QUESTIONS ~ TURN-IN (due by Tuesday 12/15) ~ TALK TO FOX ~ TALK TO WATARU ~ TALK TO YASURAGI/GET WASTED

RULES

RULES

  • It's mingle time baby! The objective of the game is simple: smooch some folks, turn in your best threads, and you might win. The winners will be chosen based on objectives such as "Most Kisses, Best Spectacle/Display of Feelings, Most Heartfelt Confession, Best Non-Kiss, Most Candy Canes Eaten, etc." The objectives for winning are ICly known. Your hosts value quality over quantity, but quantity doesn't hurt! ;)
  • The game will last from Friday, December 11th until Tuesday, December 15th at 9pm PST/12am EST. Or thereabouts. Time isn't real. But please try to have your turn-in done before then.
  • If your character doesn't jive with kissing, there are a ~*~variety~*~ of non-kiss options that can still be used to turn-in for winning criteria. The candy cane display has been created to encourage creativity in this area and will provide anyone interested with some special flavors:
    RED: The Chuunicane. You eat this candycane, you'll be forced to talk like an edgelord for awhile. See your local ☆Zrael for examples.
    BLUE: Shakespeare's candycane. Okay, it's not limited to Shakespeare, but if you eat this one, you'll only be able to speak with quotes from all different forms of media! From the Odyssey to Monty Python and the Holy Grail, as long as it's a quote, it's coming out of your mouth.
    ORANGE: Dandy Brain candycane. This candy cane's flavor is so sublime, but beware! Eating it makes you speak in rhyme.
    GREEN: Imeeji: The Musical: The Game: The Candycane. In other words, if you eat this candycane, you will only be able to speak in song.
    PURPLE: CAPSLOCKCANE. If this is the one you are eating, you will talk as though you are TALKING IN CAPSLOCK AT ALL TIMES. Hey, keep your voice down!
    PINK: The Spicycane. See below.
    The effects of the candy canes are not ICly known, nor can you bribe the hosts to tell you which is which. I mean you can try. But their lips are sealed. There is ONE exception: A large jar labeled 'FOR THOSE WHO LIKE IT EXTRA SPICY'; it contains pink candy canes that will instill lowered inhibitions. They are mixed in with the occasional ghost pepper candy cane. It's like eating a batch of shishito peppers, if eating shishito peppers made you kinda horny, and also the shishito peppers were actually ghost peppers, and I'm losing this metaphor let's move on.

  • Violence will not be tolerated! Unless it's the sexy kind. The hosts understand that sometimes fighting gets you in the mood, but they will frown upon anything worse than a scuffle and some mild bruising.
  • Turn-in will be one kiss per character. Character A and Character B can make out ten times in a thread if they want, but only one of their kisses (or non-kiss activity) will count towards turn-in.
  • You can kiss the hosts (and they encourage you to!), but those kisses won't count towards your turn-in. Sorry. :(

TALK TO FOX

[personal profile] artistichost 2020-12-11 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[fox's animalistic corruptions seem to have increased during his time away--he's sporting some fluffy fox ears in addition to the fangs, tail, and digitigrade legs. that aside, he looks as cheerful as ever--especially in his matching sweater with wataru (his has the donkey's head, with NAUGHTY on the back).]

Well? Well? What do you think? Is it not inspiring?! Is it not perfectly festive???

[his tail is wagging in excitement]

TALK TO WATARU

[personal profile] regale 2020-12-11 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ There is a skeleton wearing a Santa hat holding a megaphone, sitting in a chair aptly labeled DIRECTOR HOST. It just seems to be a skeleton. It’s waving at you, and lifting up the megaphone to make a loud clackety noise in your direction. It’s definitely just a festive skeleton.

Except, well, you can see the silvery hair acting like a puppeteer from behind so really, it could be only one person… and lo and behold, there is a familiar clown in a sweater that matches Fox's (in this case, his says NICE on the back… but features the reindeer butt on the front.) ]

[ IT'S FOX!!!!. He can't help smiling the moment he sees him, even if he's matching awful sweaters with Wataru, he will Forgive It. ]

Inspiring is not exactly the word I'd use, but it's something all right. It's good to see you, Fox.

[:O BIG FIVE]

And you, as well. My apologies for not responding to your letter--as you can see, I've been busy. So have you, from the looks of things.

[ Just because it's Fox who is hosting, he'll wear a reindeer antlers headband but that's as festive as he's going ]

And I was talking about these games just the other day.

Phoenix! It is good to see you. Or should I say, "welcome to Taisho"?

Didn't know they made hot versions of these.

Yeah, it was one of the first games I played when I got here. I guess they run it every "year."

[ Fufufu-ing from behind his "friend" ]

That's right, but it's yet to be written in stone as to whether he is the ghost of Christmas past, present, or future...!
avestan: O, cast out these spirits! (I've been bedeviled! You're bedevilin' m)

Good luck.

They really have all kinds of flavors, huh?
avestan: The head, exactly, it’s got all the face and stuff on it. (What’s the best part of the dog?)

[personal profile] avestan 2020-12-11 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, called it.
