THREE... TWO... ONE...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Is something nobody says, for the very simple reason that at the stroke of midnight, most people's mouths are abruptly occupied. Anyone within earshot of the bells is drawn to the person nearest them, whether they're familiar or a stranger, and regardless of their intentions, those two people are lip-locked now.

Of course, you can choose to be chaste about this, if you really want. But on the other hand, it's gonna be a long kiss if you're not even trying to enjoy it - the enchantment, whatever it is, lasts until the clock strikes one. That doesn't mean you have to kiss that whole time, but neither of you can break physical contact with the other - some parts of your body always have to be in contact.

Might as well start the year as you mean to go on, right?

[[Your character does not have to be involved if you don't want them to be. Any characters who are sleeping or out of range of the bells - or out of range of other people - are unaffected. If you do want your character to be affected, either post a toplevel describing where they are/what they're doing, or reply to someone else's]]

[Kaph is loitering outside the castle, half wondering if the kingdom usually celebrates the new year, half thinking to himself that no Real Bullshit (tm) has happened in a while, when he hears the bells ring.

He might be kicking himself in a second.]

talk of past nonconsensual possession i can't believe ford pines means i have to warn for that

[He is definitely going to be kicking himself. You know who also loiters around outside the castle a lot? Stanford Pines, because he is apparently drawn to trouble and just can't leave well enough alone. So whoever is closest happens to be someone very outside of Kaph's usual, and also someone who is not really a stranger to his body doing things without his permission. Not in a great way. At least he's so familiar with what it would feel like to be possessed that he can rule that out here, but that doesn't mean it doesn't hit right up against Upsetting Memories.

At least there aren't any stairs for his body to throw itself down. A kiss is fine, comparatively, and under normal circumstances he probably wouldn't even be opposed. His hands grip Kaph's upper arms very hard.]

[What the fuck? Why did he just collide against this old man? Why are their mouths stuck together? Why are his hands stuck to the old man's waist and holy fucking shit, is he ripped? Why is this old man ripped???

He manages to pry his mouth away, but that means he has to hold on to his waist even harder. And also keep his head at a mildly painful 90-degree angle.]


Hey, what the hell? Get away from me!
meteorman: (6 | god has slaughtered all stability)

[Why would this old man not be ripped, Kaph. Are you saying an old man can't be ripped? Don't be so narrow-minded, gosh.]

I... can't seem to.

[His voice is rough against Kaph's ear. His hands squeeze even tighter.]
ignisvulpes: (who the hell would laugh at that)

What the fuck do you mean, you can't...?! [Complain as he might, the truth is that Kaph is also trying his goddamned best to pry the old man away from him and it sure looks like he can't. It's not because he's so ripped, is it?? This feels like it has to be more than that.]

And don't talk into my ear like that! People are gonna get the wrong idea!

[It's definitely something supernatural going on and not just too many muscles, though frankly it might be a little of column A and a little of column B. Who knows. The point is that Ford really does not like this, because if he can't open his hands of his own free will then something is keeping them closed and it's not something he can see or combat. Bad. Dislike.]

Where else am I supposed to talk?

I-- I don't know! Just don't look at me while you do it, I guess!

[He's fairly certain that would help it look less gay.]
