Kitty

[passingthrough]

[Honestly, you wouldn't think a girl who can phase through solid matter and rarely uses doors anyway would get caught, but here she is in a doorway with you! She spends most of her time on the Twin Roses or the Iskaulit especially in the gym or Malum where she works, but she's been known to visit friends on the other ships too. This is not her first forced kissing rodeo, so she'll take it all in stride...usually.]

(OOC: Welcome to kissing dome. Two people enter, both of them leave KISSED! Which is my way of saying bring the kisses! All are welcome even if we don't have CR! We can figure out how far the kisses go together~ My starter is VERY open ended so if you'd like something a little more specific to sink your teeth into just let me know. Otherwise, go for it!)

[goldenglasses]

[It's a little after people had started to catch on to the devilish plants. Which is why it may be strange to see Vash casually standing around a doorway of the Twin Roses. He appears to be on the lookout and starts grinning like an idiot when he sees Kitty walking down or through the hall.]

Oh no! I'm stuck! How will I ever get out? [He cries out as he slaps a hand to his head in 'despair'. What's that above him? It's not mistletoe, but in fact just the closest looking green plant Vash could find. This just MIGHT be a set up.] If only there was someone nearby to help me!

[passingthrough]

[She stops in her tracks when he starts up his act, shaking her head at him before he's even finished with the production.]

Want me to find Remy for you? He's a great kisser. [Pause.] I've heard.

[goldenglasses]

Wha- No! I don't want to kiss Remy! I want to kiss you! [Vash knows she's teasing, but it was fun to play along with it.]

[passingthrough]

Me? [She touches her chest in mock confusion as if trying to understand this wild turn of events.]

And you were trying to use the broccoli to get me in the mood?

[cajunspice]

[Heading out of work after finishing up closing the Bar for the night, Remy did happen to glance towards Malum as he was leaving out of instinct, to see if anyone he knew was leaving.

And there certainly was. Or he think they were. If they weren't stuck in the door that is.] Ya ok there, petite?

[passingthrough]

[For as much time as she spends walking through walls her habits really do lead her through doors even more often. She simply walks through closed ones instead of open ones most of the time. It helps avoid some of the circuitry she could be interrupting if she picked another point. That, plus a certain resistance to upending her life just to avoid a kiss, has her going through a door just in time to find she can't go any further. She's not exactly frozen in place, but she doesn't have a lot of wiggle room either.

She knows the drill more or less. It's not something she's seen much of on the fleet yet, but it's certainly a version of something that happened a lot in Marina. She has a sort of breezy approach to the whole thing. At least outwardly. Inwardly, well, stay tuned.]

Who me? Just hanging out in doorways—my favorite past time. There's really nothing like being stuck and helpless to phase my way out of it. You?

[cajunspice]

Well, [That word drawn out as Remy shoved down a grin, not trying to be too amused at her situation or how she was handling it. At least not letting it show. He got this was an annoyance, but Kitty's attitude to it all made it funny.] Maybe not so much the phasin' side of it, but doors? Yeah, I happen to use them now 'nd then. When there ain't no good windows 'round, or 'm bein' polite.

[passingthrough]

For the record, you're officially not allowed to blow holes in the walls of the Twin Roses to get out of walking through doors there. [She cocks her head to the side.] Not that you strike me as a man in a hurry to avoid kisses.

Kitty?

[Tyrion is frowning at his device, as he comes aboard the Twin Roses, searching for his friend. All he had gotten was SOS with no real details, so he didn't even think to look up until he saw her in the doorway, walked over to her and pointed to his device.]

You said this was an emergency and that you were -

[He looks up.]

Ah.

[passingthrough]

Don't "ah" that like this all makes sense now. This is not the emergency! [Although it was starting to feel like one a minute ago when she got trapped with him on his way over. She tried to call a crewmate over but it seems people are on the planet or working and not on the ship to kiss her free.]

There wasn't even supposed to be mistletoe on this door. I cut it down this morning. [It sounds silly as soon as she says it. Of course it wouldn't be that easy.]

[tallasaking]

... well all right, if it wasn't mistletoe, and it wasn't an emergency, why am I standing here, trapped with you under the Evil Green Plant?

[Tyrion asked wryly, even as he put his communication device away.]

Real kiss or platonic, m'dear.

[passingthrough]

[Feeling a little put out and pouty at the weed above rthem and comfortable enough around Tyrion to let it show. Mumbling.] It was a surprise. It was supposed to be fun. Never mind. [Stupid kissing weed!]

What's a platonic kiss as opposed to a real kiss anyway? If you're thinking on the cheek that never works. [That totally works sometimes. Just not in her experience so far.]

[candothat]

[Don't you just hate it when you're hanging out with your friend on their spaceship and you get stuck in a doorway with them because mysterious beings are looking for a ratings boost, and also the last time you kissed said friend because of mysterious-being-intervention you ended up confessing your love, which is an incident that they don't remember because it actually happened to a slightly different version of them, or possibly a convincing simulation of them, who you would go on to date briefly?

Yeah, me too, but Pavel is smart enough to realize that it'll only be weird if one of them--probably him, because it's always him--makes it weird. Also? He likes kisses.]

At least there aren't any robots here to critique us.

[passingthrough]

[Oh, it's always possible she could overthink it and make it weird too. It's not like she's missed all the subtle signs he's given off that he's into her. Like writing a long letter to tell her he loves her and that they were married and other various things she doesn't remember from Marina but were part invention of the wardens and part genuine from what she can tell. Best to keep it breezy. They both have plenty of experience with being in a forcefield and having to kiss others. No reason to let it be anything but a sweet experience, right?]

I don't know, how am I supposed to keep the drive to improve up if they don't tell me I got a 7 and three stars?

[candothat]

[The subtlest signs. Also, he holds out that some hope that Kitty just forgot about that time he took Winn's prompt to be honest with her and interpreted it as a suggestion to tell her everything, so it'd be great if it was never mentioned again.]

I'm willing to provide criticism if it would be helpful.

[passingthrough]

[Mentioned what again?]

Oh, yeah, that would be swell. Be harsh. I can take it. [She assumes no such crit will be coming. That would be awkward.]

Re: Kitty

[permanentlyexhaustedbird]

[Tim had been told there were several different facilities on the Iskaulit where you can train and had been spending one sleepless night checking out one after the other out of curiosity but has found that the Gym won't let him leave. He's since worked out a probable cause but has yet to have anyone else wander by this late? early in the morning.


He's tried jumping but he can't reach and that's extremely frustrating so he's taken to calling out occasionally to see if anyone is in the hallways. He lights up when the first person he does see is someone he's at least talked to before.]

Hello? um...Miss Pryde? Help?

[passingthrough]

[She comes to a stop when she hears him call out and she looks above him to confirm her suspicions. She's probably still far enough away not to be trapped with him yet? Right? Maybe? She's still figuring out the logistics of these particular sprig of mistletoe. It was all a little different in the last place she was in.]

Are you sure you want my help? [Because she's pretty sure there's only one option. But unlike her last place this won't necessarily be over in a day. Things can last a lot longer here.]

[permanentlyexhaustedbird]

Honestly, I do not know. [He looks up at the offending plant] I was hoping to just remove it? or at least try and find out how long I will be stuck here for?

I'm sorry I don't mean to pressure you. I am willing to wait if need be?

[passingthrough]

[And to think, usually Vash is the offending plant in the room.]

I can give it a try. I'm guessing it will end up with us kissing though. That's fine. [What's one more kiss, right? She used to be trapped in a place where this kind of thing happened all the time.] I just wanted to make sure you were on the same page.

[scanninggaydis]

[This sure is a doorway somewhere on the Iskaulit and they sure are stuck here.]

Did you miss this tradition? Because I definitely didn't.

[Don't mind him, he'll get over the grumbling in a second. He just has to get it out of his system.]

[passingthrough]

Mmm, miss is too strong a word. I am still somewhat numb to the violation of it all and willing enough to kiss cute guys to keep myself mobile? [She doesn't want to kiss a grumbly guy. She's perfectly happy to let him work it out first.]

I could have sworn there was no mistletoe over this door earlier.

[scanninggaydis]

That's not surprising. I'm sure it pops up randomly. Probably reappears if you try to clear it too.

[He sighs.]

I just don't understand why now. It hasn't happened before, right?

[passingthrough]

I'm thinking you're right. It's shifting around. [She sighs.] Of course it is.

[She shakes her head.] Haven't been randomly kissed by so many people since I was back in the prison. Cisco put some mistletoe out one year but it was the regular, non-enforcing kind.
