•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.))

Ahh...! Wh-what's going on here?!

[Sasami's a bit panicky as she looks around before stopping and noticing the mistletoe.]

Mistletoe? But, why...?

Hit Girl hasn't gotten caught yet, but is now noticing the forcefiled, and is seeing Sasami struggling.

"Hey princess," she greeted. "Where's the fire?"

Sasami blinked upon seeing Hit Girl.

"Oh! Um... well... I'm stuck in here and for some reason there's mistletoe above me." she said. She gives a little shrug as she continues. "I... don't get it."

Hit Girl shook her head. "You gotta be kidding me."

She snickered. "That's that stuff people use in my world to get some action. You know, you stand over a sprog of this stuff, you kiss or whatever. Why can't you move though?"

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"O-Oh...!" Now, she's getting the idea of it all. Though when she asks why she can't move, she pokes the barrier in front of her, pulling back in pain when she does. "Can't get out."

[hit-girl-mindy.livejournal.com]

She wrinkled her nose. "That's weird. Why wouldn't you be able to move? Then again, why the hell would anyone even want to put up all this mistletoe around anyway? It's so weird."

She shrugged, then thought a moment. "That's a crazy idea. Then again, with this ship, maybe not so much."

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

Sasami nodded at that. "We've been through a lot on this ship... I wouldn't put it past it to do something like this."

She lets out a sigh. "Though... I think I know what I have to do to get out..."

[hit-girl-mindy.livejournal.com]

She raised an eyebrow. "Oh yeah? What's that?"

Did Sasami think the same thing she did?
