Scavenger Hunt Spin the Bottle-Wheel Valentines Day CHALLENGEEEEE!

[magnetite_plz]

You all didn't think you were getting out of this holiday entirely empty handed, now did you?

There's red, white, and pink heart confetti falling like rain as Nekomata pushes out a ridiculously large gameshow type wheel with a bottle shaped ticker attached at its center. She raises the aviator glasses she's wearing and pulls a few cue cards out of her...actually she doesn't have pockets and it's best not to ask where these came from.

"Lyadies and Gentleman, humies, magi and all creatures alike! It's time for us to play a game mya!" She does her best Vanna White impression as she gestures to the wheel. "You may all have nyoticed the names of Nexus denizens. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to give this wheel a spin and track down whomever it lands on and get a selfie of you two smooching! All selfies delivered to me will be entered into a grand finale drawing. The winner will receive a very special prize everyone in the Nexus is guaranteed to want mya!"

She points into the crowd of the forum. She wants you to participate! Yes, you!

"What are you waiting for mya?!"

[Fun Valentines day shenanigans since I didn't see anything else go up today. Entirely fluffy and for laughs. Feel free to choose your target or have me select at random. I may or may not choose targets based on hilarity. Happy V-Day everyone and accept this loving post from me to all of you~

There's no saying that only one person can be smooched by another, so feel free to double up if you want! Just respect another person's wishes if they say their character doesn't want to be found and lip-molested k?

This is a spontaneous Nexus event that I did not make a sign up for. If you can't get in touch with your target/if you have been selected and for WHATEVER reason do not wish to play or interact with said character, PM me and I will change it discreetly. This is Zero Committment fun time. You may now return to your regularly scheduled smooching ]

Oh. Her. Beldr.

It's hard to facepalm when one's palm is a squishy catpaw but Nekomata tries anyway. Whyere are all the humies and their modern devices when she needs them?!

"It's a picture. Of you and whoever you get paired with. Take it with a phone, get it carved, whatever floats yer boat princess." She's more polite to royalty and things vaguely demon shaped that could probably kill her.

"Most folks around here have a little picture taking device on 'em. If not, you can borrow my phone. I'll even show you how to do it nya."

[nodamselnodistress]

"Ah. That would be most gracious of you, miss. Thank you." Good manners are a princess' first line of defense. (Her second is the spear. The third is her angry stare. Pray you never find out when the teeth get involved.)

"This is a common amusement in this place? Very well. I am to spin this, yes? Er. Perhaps you should do the honors, as it is of a human size."

[magnetite_plz]

"Yyyyeah sorry nya. Most of this place is humies." Nekomata gives the wheel a sharp spin!

Something must be caught in the wheel because it grinds to a halt rather suddenly on the name of a certain death knight Aglaia is familiar with.

"Haaaaarrowheart it is! Good luck princess! He's got a phone on 'im, so get him to take the photo and sent it to me!" She scribbles her phone number on a sheet and hands it to Aglaia before waving. "Good luck mya!"

[nodamselnodistress]

"That is nothing to apologize for. We all build for our own needs." Aglaia's getting used to this tiny world she sometimes wanders through. It reminds her of her doll house.

The name on the wheel is a familiar one, and she snorts. "Let us hope he hasn't been drinking this time. Thank you, miss. I shall endeavor to complete my task in a timely manner."

Cat demon, Cow princess, Dog man

Drinking when you're alone on the universal holiday of romance? Surprisingly not something on Harrow's list. Reynard's gone HAM with the snow lately and Harrow's still enjoying himself around the Nexus. Today he's spending his time in a wholesome way: Building a snow walrusman. His floating hands are doing most of the work conjuring a smooth, curved icicle for a tusk while he lays in the snow, arms behind his head, legs crossed, cigarette between his lips. His foot bobs to the beat of the music from his earbuds and he smiles as he stares at the sky. The poor, oblivious fool.

It sounds so dirty when you put it like that.

[nodamselnodistress]

Heyyyy Harrowheart, remember this looming shape? LOOK WHO'S BACK.

"There you are, young man. I am in need of your assistance."

[westfallcorndog]

He does know that shape! It's the shape of a friend! A friend who... In retrospect doesn't look much at all like his illustration of her. Huh. Maybe Steve was right?

He sets the icicle down and plucks the earbuds out of his ears, then slowly stands and dusts snow powder off of his shorts.

"Everything okay, Princess? You don't call, you don't write. Shoot, I'd be mad if I weren't happy to see you again." Wink~

[nodamselnodistress]

"I had no address at which to write you, and I do not think you would hear me if I shouted for you." Oh, Aglaia. Never change.

"I am well, but there is a... sort of a game people are playing. I am required to, how did she put it. Ah yes. 'Smooch' you. With pictorial evidence. Would this be agreeable to you?" Princess kisses are serious business, so of course, she's being formal. This is not at all because she is embarrassed don't even think that god.

[westfallcorndog]

Harrow smiles at her shouting comments. It's certainly a method he's considered before, but somehow he thinks massive Aglaia might have more luck with bellowing people's names and seeing results.

And then she asks something he never would have expected. A smooch? From the snout of a princess?

He's too much of a simple man to conceal his emotions, even as a joke. He open-mouthed smiles and holds his arms out at his sides. "Of course! I'd love to! But –"

Wait a second. He looks left, then right, then up at Aglaia. "I ain't gonna get in trouble for kissin' a princess or nothin', right? I don't want the Minotaur King comin' out with a shotgun and suddenly I'm a married man."

[nodamselnodistress]

Shouting and seeing results is one of her best leadership traits. But the Nexus is vast and her voice only carries so far.

His initial agreement allows her to relax, and then the worry makes her snort in amusement. "No, my father will not attack you for allowing me to partake of this game. Nor will my brother or any other member of my family. A small measure of friendly affection is quite permissible."

So: yes there are rules, no he wouldn't be breaking any. That's almost like good news, if you squint.

"I am informed you possess a device that will grant us the required pictorial evidence?"

[westfallcorndog]

"Pictorial evidence?" Harrow reaches into his pocket and pulls out the phone he'd been using to jam out. "We can take a photo on my phone if you want! And get this: I'm the best at it, 'cause I got a great reach."

He demonstrates by holding his phone a few yards off with his floating hands while he sidles up to the princess.

"So how d'you wanna do this? You ever smooched a human before?"

[nodamselnodistress]

"Ah! Excellent, thank you." His reach is without question the best. Maybe she'll have to look into detachable hands...

Never give her options if you want anything to get done quickly, Harrowheart. "Hmm." Now she has to consider him carefully, like a mason before a stone. How best to approach the situation? The demonstration Neko gave was a kiss on the hand, but with Harrowheart, that might prove difficult.

"I have never kissed a human, no. There are no human settlements within easy distance of home. I believe the top of your head would be an easy reach." And the most awkwardly adorable fun for everyone to witness.
