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 ]

A selfie. Well. That would be an extra challenge on the challenge. In the spirit of the holiday, and on the winds of whimsy, Matt steps up. "Sure. Why not. I mean, there is a prize too."

[brave_heart_verity]

"I feel like I should complain at this point." When did she get there? Who knows. "But I've got nothing."

Does Matt know who's hunting him down yet? She's not spoiling that surprise.

[fightlikehell]

She's really getting up on this light on her feet thing. "Complain about a prize?" Matt turns and is ready to hook an arm around her.

Matt has zero idea.

[brave_heart_verity]

He's been running with her. He knows that she is, by definition, light on her feet when she's not wearing 90 lbs of extra weight.

"That you're volunteering to kiss other people, honey," she mock-chides. His arm isn't empty for long, and neither are hers. "But I can't complain because I got to kiss a Greek princess, so. I'll just hope you get someone nice."

[fightlikehell]

Anyone is after that kind of strenuous work out. Matt feels like he's a cloud right after. And that's without putting in any consideration to who he is with. Miss Verity Willis has that impact.

"A Greek princess no less?" He laughs and shakes his head. "That went over well then?" Bummer to know that he just will not see sights like that. That's his lot in life.

[brave_heart_verity]

For him, perhaps. That's enough for her.

"Oh yes. Iphigenia's very nice. I should introduce you some time, you'll like her." Elektra who now? "I have a picture. I will describe it to you later, if you want?" It's as close to fair as she can offer. Until one of them develops telepathic powers, anyway.

[fightlikehell]

"Princess Iphigenia." He repeats the name to himself to try it on. Greek women have a reputation in his head. Best practice to meet and know others so that there isn't just one.

"You're too sweet." Without a dare or prompt Verity gets a kiss. Should there ever be telepathic powers what a super highway of information here.

[brave_heart_verity]

"Mm-hmm." Is he familiar with certain Greek stories? It might be familiar. He went to a fancy law school, so he might know these things. She doesn't.

"Never," she protests weakly. The kiss is very distracting. If they were telepathically linked they'd be unstoppable--once they got around to doing anything that involved the rest of the world again.

[fightlikehell]

He knows a story or two. But then again, sometimes a mythic Greek name is just a Greek name. "Are you and the princess friends?"

"Always." Especially if she's going to go about like that. How does this even work that they're going to kiss other people but be like this right now? They must be crazy. The whole rest of the world is going to have to wait until they get over one another and are psychically connected for all of it's problems to be solved.

Request or random?

[magnetite_plz]

Humans that don't ask obvious questions are her favorite. This guy knows the score. For that, she won't even call him by any of her horribly horribly offensive names for humans.

She even raps her claws against the wheel so he knows where it is. Neko knows who you are Murdock. Around the Nexus, anyway. Her entire job is information.

"Give the wheel a spin! I'll uh...I'll let you know who it lands on. Don't worry mya." That she COULD tell him anyone she wanted is all the more reason he should be glad that she likes him.

Random plz!

[fightlikehell]

Neko has done her homework more than Matt has. He appreciates the effort. "Thank you." That's the best answer anyone can give in his shoes, he suspects. He steps up to the wheel and makes contact with his hand. With a nod he puts it into motion.

[magnetite_plz]

It doesn't do him any good to hear the wheel stop spinning. Unless he knew the positions of every name on the wheel already and could count crazy fast. Nekomata watches the wheel with interest in her glowing eyes.

And then snorts. Hope Matt likes kissing crooks .

"Raymond Reddington. Older hyuman. Bald. Snappy dresser." She pauses. This guy can't use like any of that information. "....Hope you like kissing crooks mya." She kind of feels bad for this guy.

Maybe his friends will help him find his target?

[fightlikehell]

Still he listens and is in good faith that the Nexus grade Vanna will be honest with him. Because he'll know.

"Is that...really his name?" Because bald and snappy dresser...and older sounds like someone else.

And then he's a crook.

"I did agree to the conditions of this uh contest. But can I ask what kind of a criminal he is?"

[magnetite_plz]

There's a rustling of paper. Nekomata is checking her cue cards. She did her homework for this thing.

"That is in fact his nyame." Cards get tossed backwards onto the floor, their jobs done. "He's a consultant? Kinda seems likea grey antihero type character. Verity knows him!"

And she knows that Matt knows Verity.

"Good luck!" She says again. She's almost rooting for him. He has that underdog appeal.

[fightlikehell]

Paperwork always is comforting in some way. That's proof right there. Many brownie points for Nekomata. Many.

Not Wilson Fisk. That alone is a reason to smile.

"Thank you." Verity will be the other mind to pick. Matt steps away and waves though he won't see a return motion. It's the thought that counts.

[romeoinabox]

Well, well. Someone happens to be wandering by right now. He's not eavesdropping, though. Of course not! What a terrible thing to suggest.

It's a good thing Matt can't see so he can avoid seeing the large grin spread across Red's face when the lawyer asks what kind of criminal he is. Such a flower child to ask a question like that.

[fightlikehell]

When you've got a mind to be in everything or the senses eavesdropping just happens. Gosh golly.

Matt is about set to head on his way when he has the vague feeling of being watched. It's not unusual. Something worth being aware of in his book as a lawyer, as a blind man and as a vigilante.

Silly contest or not he would never lock lips with a mass murderer. That goes without saying. And the kind of crime indicates the kind of criminal mind. Usually.

[juststeverogers]

Steve can hear Verity laughing from here.

Maybe he can just...no, Matt's up there. Right front and center. In front of everyone. Standing next to Verity who is dating him.

He is not pleased with this turn of events. Well. Knuckle up, Rogers.

"Hey Matt! Glad you made it. It's pretty nuts, huh?"

[fightlikehell]

Is that? It is a wheeze. Matt slowly turns from Verity. "Hey, Steve." The smile that comes around at Verity's company extends. "Nuts is about right."

[juststeverogers]

"The stuff that's falling is confetti, by the way. You're...gonna be covered in it." So maybe don't go to the office right away until Verity's had a chance to clean you off, is what he's saying.

"I didn't expect this many people to show up." How does he work this damn phone? No, that's the floor. Where is...there. There it is. Okay. Stay on, phone.

Steve isn't going to do this twice.

[brave_heart_verity]

Don't worry Steve Ver's taking pictures too. Well. Video.

You know.

For posterity...

[fightlikehell]

"I figured it was a little uh warm to be snow." Matt brushes of his shoulder and takes some to sprinkle or what he imagines a sprinkling motion to be. "Thanks."

"Is this normal?" Merely because everyone's come around. He is quite unsuspecting.

[juststeverogers]

"You realize you have it pretty much everywhere, right?" Steve can take a moment to use his free hand and brush some off of Matt's shoulder. "C'mere. You look ridiculous covered in this stuff."

By the time Matt can hear how nervous Steve is, the tiny man is already grabbing the front of his shirt and pulling him down to mush his face against the other's. It...it was supposed to be a kiss on the lips? Steve rather missed his mark, and really ended up more just pressing his face against the corner of Matt's mouth. Steve lets go and tries to pretend that this was totally something he meant to do.

He's giving Verity this smug look. Didn't think he'd do it, did you?

Also, he only got the floor in his shot.

"....No....." Oh, there goes the wind in his sails. "I should have practiced...."

[fightlikehell]

"Sorta." Just a notion really. He crouches and is getting a better idea that something's not right. The tightness in Steve's voice and a clear hesitance to touch him that wasn't there before. Matt's brow furrows and he's about ask something when there's lips, jaw and breath pressed to his face. His glasses are knocked a little askew and when his eyes go wide they're more obvious.

Matt clears his throat when he pulls away, still blinking. The challenge. Yeah. That's why. Still. Laughter bubbles up and he shakes his head.

"What do you mean 'no' now?" He licks his lips nervously and reaches out for Steve. "You need a picture right?" Trying to keep his laughter contained, he stays crouched.

[juststeverogers]

"I didn't get it in shot. The kiss I wasn't expecting anything out of. I've never done that before."

Congrats on being his first, Matt? Steve's busy pouting down at the phone, his eyebrows furrowed. He just kissed a guy for apparently no reason, since he's got nothing to show for it.
