07: Shipper's Paradise [video]

[needsteaplz]

[The feed opens to Saori in the newbie apartment lobby. Say, when did the ceiling have hanging bundles of green? Saori looks baffled. ]

My dear gods... When did... How...

Does anyone know why there's so much mistletoe here?! This is overkill and screaming "it's a trap." One is just enough, geeze. 

Uh listen, if you're not okay with being kissed, you might want to walk through here one by one. Basically, if you're beneath one of these with someone, you have to kiss them. 
[OOC note: feel free to interact with others! ]

[The mention of the mistletoe does not send this little girl running. Sophia walks down to the lobby, with Commandramon following her, puzzled, and sits near the center of it, waiting.]

Sophia, what...?

[She shushes him and then pulls him to sit next to her by the claw. She kisses him on the snout and he blinks in confusion, and then he stops talking.

She'll just wait there.]

I forgot which muse you wanted to interact with her so...Ruffnut

[ruffntumblenut]

[Ruffnut is wandering through as well and sees the two fo them just waiting. She shrugs, walks over and sits next to them for a long few minutes before whispering]

What are we waiting for?

[justpretending]

[Sophia waits for the question and then turns to the new girl and gives her a kiss on the cheek.]

[ruffntumblenut]

[She blinks confused. It's rare for strangers to kiss one another on Berk. Her first instinct is to punch this girl but she's so tiny...]

Uh...yeah alright. Why not?

[And because Ruffnut is a good sport she turns and gives the girl a peck on the cheek, feeling decidedly out of her element.]

[justpretending]

[Sophia grins wildly. Success! She turns to Commandramon with an expectant look, a see, that's why! and holds her head high.]

[ruffntumblenut]

[Well at least she's happy]

Why did we just do that?

[After all vikings aren't known for playful kissing. It's usually all or nothing with them. Passion runs hot in their culture]

[justpretending]

[She points up.]

The mistletoe, of course!

[ruffntumblenut]

[Ruffnut follows her pointing and tilts her head still puzzled]

It doesn't look like a toe to me.

[justpretending]

It's not a toe, it's a plant.

[ruffntumblenut]

Duh.

So, we kiss because we're sitting under this plant?

[justpretending]

'Cause it's the rules.

[ruffntumblenut]

Oh...

...well I guess it's not so bad.

[Action] Oh gosh, I hope this is okay >.>

[alive_through_luck]

[Duo hasn't seen the message sent out. He didn't even realize that the mistletoe was out in full force. He just wanted to go out for a walk to get away from Solarmon.

The bill of his cap is pulled down some, and he has his head ducked enough to hide his eyes. Of course, this also keeps him from watching where he's going so it's just inevitable that he runs into Sophia.]

Oomph! Hey! Who's--

[He lifts his head to look at who he's run into. Instantly, Duo stiffens. He remembers her. But does she remember him?]

[Action] YES

[justpretending]

[Now yes, she's sitting on the floor, but Sophia didn't quite expect to get run into! Commandramon sees Duo first and winces, recalling their last encounter.

As for Sophia, she pulls back just a bit, because her peaceful sitting's been disturbed, with her hands behind her keeping her supported. Recognition passes over her face, because yes, she does remember him. She looks up with pursed lips and a curious face.]

Oh.

[Action]

[alive_through_luck]

['Oh' was right. Duo doesn't even know what to say to her. He could feel his cheeks burning and all he could do was reach up to tug down on the bill of his cap to hide his eyes. He's silent for a long moment before he mumbles...]

M'sorry.

[Action]

[justpretending]

[Well, he apologized, so that's alright. Instead, Sophia states:]

If you're hat's like that I can't see your face.

Re: [Action]

[alive_through_luck]

[Duo hesitates briefly before huffing and lifting his cap ever so slightly. He still doesn't look at Sophia, but at least he's not hiding behind his cap.]

Better?

[Pouty face. ]

[Action]

[justpretending]

[Sophia nods stubbornly.] Better.

[She stands up and dusts herself off.]

You know what's here, right?

[Action]

[alive_through_luck]

[Duo blinks and looks around before raising a brow at Sophia.]

No? What's here? I mean, besides you sitting on the floor.

[Action]

[justpretending]

[She points up, and then she leans in and gives him a kiss on the cheek.]

[Action]

[alive_through_luck]

[Duo barely has time to look up before Sophia is kissing him on the cheek. He blinks, completely confused, and blushes bright pink.]

Wh-what was that for?

[Action]

[justpretending]

[On the other hand, Sophia is quite nonchalant about the whole thing.]

'Cause mistletoe, silly.

Re: [Action]

[alive_through_luck]

...What's mistletoe?

[Yes, he did just ask that...]

[Action]

[justpretending]

[She frowns.]

How come so many people don't know about mistletoe... It's a plant, see? When you're under it, you gotta kiss someone. It's the rules.

Re: [Action]

[alive_through_luck]

[Duo huffs and looks up at the mistletoe.]

That seems dumb.

[But still, she says it's the rules, and while Duo doesn't necessarily obey all the rules, this one doesn't seem so bad. With another huff he leans over and kisses Sophia on the cheek, just as she had done him.]

There. S'okay now?
