...what am I doing?

[morphitudinous]

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.

Agreed there. Actually, there's something else I've been wondering about, more recently especially... Is it alright if I try something?

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

Hm? Sure.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

[Brainy pulls away from Lyle's neck and stares at him for a second or two. Then very, very deliberately, he pecks him on the lips.]

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

[Lyle is making a very silly expression while trying not to laugh.]

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

...I did that wrong, didn't I.

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

N-n-no... [He's not laughing at you, really.] It was cute.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

[He's not sure he believes you when you're obviously trying not to laugh.]

...you're just saying that.

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

It was cute.

[Here, have a peck back. Now be happy.]

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

[He is. Ridiculously so.]

I... thank you, I guess.

But you know, I should consider practising some more in order to... make sure I know what I'm doing.

[He is ever so subtle.]

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

[Lyle is making that funny face again.]

This is ... friendly kissing?

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

[Now Brainy has a slightly put out, kicked puppy look.]

Do you want it to be?

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

[Are you going to guilt him into dating you?!]

Um ... that is ... [Here, have a kiss, now shut up.]

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

{........is this a bad thing to do?]

[Yay! ...wait, you're not getting away that easy, Lyle.] ...you didn't answer me.

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

[But he didn't mean to accidentally tell Brainy they should just be friends.]

I think you are dead you are a kid you are a dead kid I will answer you if you tell me the best way to distract a 12th level.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

[He'll just have to handle it like he does Superman. Stalking and holo-fanfic.]

Hmmm.... You know, I can think of a few ways. [That smile is devious, Lyle. Be afraid.]

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

[Hold on, when did you hit puberty? Do you even know what you're saying?]

Well, that's good. You should definitely write those up for me, and I'll look them over thoroughly.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

[Not really; there is no robo-puberty Lyle, he's making this up as he goes along.]

Well, Sheeana told me there are different ways to kiss people, so maybe we could do something there.

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

[Thank goodness ... wait, that might not make this less embarrassing.]

Well, yes, there are. Are you sure you don't want to learn how to hand whistle?

[That wasn't smooth, was it?]

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

...Why would I want to learn that?

You're trying to change the topic.

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

Hand whistling is amazing.

[And it works as a distraction on most people for some odd reason. Dammit, Brainy.]

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

...Lyle, why are you trying to talk about something else?

[How do you like your guilt trips, Lyle?]

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

Brainy. [Sigh. How to put this.]

You seem to want a romantic relationship without knowing what's involved in one?

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

...but I can learn. You should know I learn very fast.

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

W-well yes. [Stop making that face, Guilt Trip Boy.] But you should probably know what you're getting involved in before you get involved?

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

But how am I supposed to know that when whenever I ask, I mostly get told things like 'you'll find out one day'?! Normally I'd have researched this a lot before even considering mentioning it but...



........this is something to do with those lights, isn't it?
