•Mistletoe Meme!•

The Situation:
Crew members who were on Stacy last December remember this. Because GLaDOS is a troll, she has positioned little sprigs of mistletoe on the ceilings of areas of the ship. In hallways, at the entrances to quarters, in a department doorway, at a tavern, she doesn't care how inconvenient it is!

It'd be less inconvenient if it were voluntary, but in this case, the sneaky AI has deployed shields around people who wander under the mistletoe that have not been broken by any known alternate method so far. Any attacks against the shield are absorbed. Attempts at attacking the mistletoe get you singed. The only way to be freed from the confines of your little bubble is to receive some form of affection from another crew member---a strong hug will work for the really uncomfortable, but at least a cheek kiss is expected for most. If GLaDOS wants a mouth kiss, though, let her push for one! Species equivalents of kisses/affection are also acceptable.

So---you're stuck until someone comes to rescue you with a kiss, kids. Have fun, thank you for participating in this crew study experiment, and watch out for the nargles!

((Characters not in the game are of course welcome to join too! It's just on this community this year because it's proven difficult to fit the event around December's plots.))

More likely, the ship.

[He eyes the sprig dangling above them]

And I think I know what she wants.

And I think you are going to kill me.

[Some more bashes cause Vita to start panting, after which she glares at him]

There's going to be another way other than killing you to find out!
Ah, maybe that is it!

[And Vita engaged the...mistletoe, figuring it was some sort of core of this forcefield. And got singed. And again. And again. And again. Ow.]

You're not going to kill me to get free... you're going to kill me when you find out what the condition to get free is.

That's mistletoe. It's common, among the human people, to celebrate the winter holidays by...

Well... [Aibghalien's blush is starting to approach the color of Vita's hair. It's not the idea, but who he's with, that's making him red]

Kissing under the mistletoe.
