...what am I doing?

And on today's menu for silliness, we have the:

COLORS OF LOVE MEME!

The situation: There is a big, glowy, pulsating heart floating in the middle of a mysterious void where all our characters are gathered. For a moment, it does nothing but sparkle innocently. Innocently, I say.



And then?

BOOM!

Beams of colored light shoot out from the heart, slamming directly into every character and overtaking their bodies with a warm sensation. It only takes a second---once it fades, the characters are unharmed. But they sure do feel differently. How differently? Well, that depends on the color of the beam that hit them. Which color, of course, is up to you.

Characters hit by pink beams will feel an intense admiration and desire to be near the first character they see. They will become worshiping fans, stalkers even.

Blue beams merely bring an inclination toward friendliness. It's an opportunity for characters who would otherwise hate each other to talk civilly.

If hit by a red beam, they will feel a romantic attraction to the first character they see. Intense feelings, desires to make people happy, that sort of thing.

If it's a purple beam, lust ensues. If clothes start coming off, though, please take it to personal journals!

Orange beams trigger impulses toward (mostly) innocent physical affection. Lots of hugs and kisses given out here!

As for usage: feel free to either declare what color your character was hit with right away, or wait to know who you're threading with before you make that choice. You can also choose not to have them affected at all, and point and laugh at everyone else's craziness. And you can combine colors, or switch at any time! That heart's gonna hang around and watch the whole thing. Because it can.

If I've missed any fun amorous effects, feel free to make up a beam of your own and I'll add it. Have fun and go crazy! Tweak the effects if you want---if it's one or both, or toward multiple characters, tweak it as you will but just let the people you're threading with know.

Well, I guess you could just wait until we unveil it to everyone in a few weeks or so.

I'm told people look for that in a boyfriend. [Grin.] Boating's nice, but you stay dry. Maybe boating under a waterfall? The mist is nice.

Monster battles can be strangely good for that.

Oh? It's a date, then. [Shoulder-pat. Forget subtle with this guy.]

Not quite what I had planned. [Damn, why does he find dork adorable?]

Well, I may have been planning that. Now I might have to come up with something else.

[Lyle is capable of the most wicked grins when necessary.]

I'm the one who's usually lurking in the shadows. And in plain sight.

[Are we rough housing now? Lyle is a genius at roughhousing as well. Note the careful way he pretends to ignore Billy and then leans his full weight against him in an attempt to push him over.]

Invisibility. I didn't mention that?

[Lyle holds out a hand to help him up. That usually doesn't work.]

We could always go water-skiing or something. Then you're supposed to wind up in the lake.

I also go by Invisible Kid, so I don't usually have to mention it.

[He is perfectly innocent. Well, no, but it's not a trick.]

I did hear something about the lake having a dragon in it.

I guess I should show off more.

I haven't heard about any deaths. I'd rather study it, myself. [If that's a date, Lyle gets to be the knight, and Billy can be the princess. Lyle wears too many dresses in canon already.]

Why does your life sound like a video game?

Yes, and it's rare to see one. [Of course, this is a liberated age, the Princess may kick ass. He just doesn't want the dress this time.]
