Now Kiss!

[unheiring]

Who: The Entire (Adult*) Population of the Grove
What: Spin the Bottle Round Three
When: Somewhere in Magic Month
Where: The Inn Lobby
Warnings: Magic will probably go haywire because what's funnier than your emotions spiking and making your windy magic go woosh

*Younger muses can set up their own Spin the Bottle behind the Inn or whatever. Be some punk little rebels I don't care, I'm not your dad.

After two months of terror, it's time for a little whimsy — or so Luca Aurelius says, at least. And since Ain is a perpetual bad influence on him, Luca defaults to the most menacing game he knows: spin the bottle.

The rules are simple, plop down in the middle of a circle and get comfortable. Or maybe you got roped into this by a friend and now you're trying to put on a brave face? Either way, it's time to wait: the bottle will land on you eventually, right?. At that point, the rules are simple: kiss!

You can be brave about it and lock lips, or something mildly more. Or if you're trying to play it cool, a kiss on the hand or cheek should suffice. Luca isn't really enforcing any strict rules. The bastard isn't even playing, what the hell.

(Or, to put it all simply and break the fourth wall: drop your character. Add a little description about their behavior/demeanor prior to the kiss, if you want. Then, wait for someone to tag you, while you do some tagging out of your own! Spinning the bottle is a mutual affair, after all. Just remember to take any escalations off comms and to your inboxes, you fucking menaces)

Hope you're ready to resolve some of that tension you've been ignoring!

[Oh my god oh my god ohhhhh my fucking god-

So Till...has had many kisses by now, none of these are his first. No, that honor belongs to Ivan, who grabbed him by the head and kissed him on stage in front of thousands, so you know. Not a helpless confession of gay love or anything like that. Nothing Till has been running from for months now, noooo.

No, Allen kisses him, and it's...nice. It's really nice. It's gentle, and careful, and it makes Till's head feel like it's going to pop. He still barely knows how to kiss himself so don't worry Allen this kiss was going to suck regardless, but...he doesn't pull out of it.

If anything, he's blushing so fiercely that he looks like he's going to pass out. Or, maybe he's just forgetting to breathe-]

[ Shaking hands in being kissed by someone forcibly for their first time. Just ignore it like Allen’s doing ez pz—

Allen pulls away with a quiet “pop” as their lips part. His thumb brushes over Till’s cheek a moment before it also pulls away. ]

You’re real warm. [ Says man who’s also fairly flustered. ] You can breathe when you kiss, you know. You’re gonna hurt yourself if you don’t, dummy.

[Wow Allen you did this the most GAY way you possibly could have, Jesus Fucking Christ.

Till is breathless by the time they part, his face glowing as Allen brushes his thumb gently over his cheek.]

I- ...I don't wanna breathe in your face, though...

[godsfavourite]

Hm?

[ Sorry, Till. This is the point where Allen is going to lean in again, but instead of kissing him again, just gently blow some hot air against his lips.

Then, very quietly, breathe: ] Like this?

[foreversembrace]

I- ...u-...uh.

Um...uh.

Yeah.

[He is. Dying. You are KILLING HIM.]

[godsfavourite]

[ He laughs a bit, sitting upright. ]

Then I think that would be fine~ Next time, you'll breathe for me then, yes?

[foreversembrace]

I- yeah, I will, yeah-

[A pause.]

...h- hang on, next time?

[godsfavourite]

[ Just. Smiles and winks at Till.

I'm so sorry, buddy- ]

[foreversembrace]

[hHHHHHHHH-

Till gets to his feet suddenly.]

A-anyway, uh! That was- good! I mean- good game! A good game-

[He is Powerwalking to the bar.]

[godsfavourite]
