How about another meme?

It's Monday night, why not?

Fun for awkwardness and/or kinkiness....

Here post somebody in, and the person who tags them? Congratulations, you're now handcuffed together. No keyholes and there's power dampeners to prevent those of you with magic/super strength to break them easily. How they come off? That's up to you, and your new partner to figure out!

Have fun!

What condition should it be?

[morphitudinous]

I wouldn't eat her cake. [Wrinkles nose.] Why should I trust it?

[Thinks.] Previous conditions have been hugs---we know that doesn't work, kisses, conversation, accomplishing some feat made difficult by the restriction, and a code word at least once.

Does that mean we should start simultaneously speaking anything that comes to mind and operate a complex lever system?

You're asking the wrong person uhhhmmm....hopping on one foot, sure.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

All full of the same lies she's full of, I'm sure.

So it's somethin' new, maybe? Not that it wouldn't hurt to double-check previous options, but I ain't seen it double back all that often.

...you see a lever system around to be operatin'?

Yay, family fun day! He'll be glad it's not the shower thing.

[morphitudinous]

No, it was just an example.

[Rakes his free hand through his hair.] Then we'll have to try a variety of options.

[Licks his end of the cuff. Hey, it could be /really/ obscure.]

I don't think he'd ever recover from the shower thing.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

[ And now she's just laughing, before she reaches forward and lightly pinches his arm. ]

Well, that's two options out.

[ And she starts mumbling various Chinese phrases. ]

He'd be in therapy. Venkman and Samson would laugh and laugh.

[morphitudinous]

[Startled!]

Uh..right. Of course.

[He starts twisting around in various pretzel positions, doing all he can to shift his body without disturbing Kaylee. Somewhere along the way, the cuff shivers.]

...was that a hint?

The entire ship would. Poor kid.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

[ She's stopped the phrases by the time the cuffs shiver, so it's clearly something Billy's done. ]

Seems like. Do that again. Whatever you did.

[morphitudinous]

It may not be a good thing, but it's our first clue.

[He twists to attempt to remember precisely what he was doing to trigger that until he wobbles and almost falls, balancing precariously on one foot. It happens again.]

...am I supposed to fall?

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

[ Kaylee's there to help him balance again. She gives the floor an unsure glance. ]

Maybe if we both do whatever you tried before we fall on the ground?

[ She tries mimicking Billy's movements and body position. It's the balancing on one foot that gets it to shudder again. ]

...alright. From here?

[morphitudinous]

[Grateful smile.]

Right.

[He mimics her, and it quivers steadily harder. Just a few seconds, maybe...luckily his balance is much better when he's prepared.]

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

[ Balancing game it is! Unfortunately, Kaylee's balance isn't the best, and she gives a few little hops to stop herself from falling over. There's a tentative clicking in the cuffs, but they still don't pop off. ]

[morphitudinous]

[Almost! Billy has another idea---he hops in front of her and locks their free arms together, centering the center of gravity between them. That should be a more stable position, if more awkward.

Come on, this had better work!]

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

[ Kaylee gives Billy a grin--nothing but good ideas from this kid, it's fantastic--and leans forward just enough to ensure stability.

After a few moments, though, it's clear that just wobbling here isn't doing the trick. She frowns down at the cuffs. ]

...don't want us to dance now, do they?

[morphitudinous]

I...hope not, but if they are, then our mobility options are limited to hopping.

Ready? [He's probably not. Sigh.]

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Hoppin' it is.

[ She glances down at their feet. ]

Ready. Three, two, one...

[ Hop!! ]

[morphitudinous]

[Timing is slightly off on the first hop, and it's a little wobbly.]

Uh...sorry! Let's try that again. I'm ready this time. One, two, three...

[Again!]

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

[ Yep, giggling at that. How silly they must look... ]

Alright, take two!

[ The timing is on, though the landing's a bit shaky, but the handcuffs finally give a last shudder and fall off onto the ground.

Grinning Kaylee is go! ] Easy as pie, that.

[morphitudinous]

[Yes! He rubs that wrist and re-catches his balance, relieved.]

...I suppose cake would have been too cruel of a word to use?

[Manages a proper hug this time.] Thanks. It's great to have you back with us.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

[ A grin as she massages her own wrist. ] Little bit too cruel, yeah.

[ The hug catches her off-guard a bit, but she's more than happy to return it. ] Great to be back. Rather spend a week straight eatin' slop than chasin' cake about.
