Who: Network folks who are in Locke for Xmas
Where: A community center (let's say it's the same one from the first aid thing)
When: Backdated to December 23
What: Christmas/Holiday Party!
Warnings: Shenanigans? Kissing?

[ Ah yes, come one, come all! As per the plotting, let's just say Ryan put out a message that went something like this:

Hey everyone! I was wondering how many of us are stuck here in Locke for the holidays. I'm used to parties and celebrating with friends, so I figured, why not do that anyway! It'll be a Network-only thing, so don't be shy. And if you wanna help, just let me know!

And thus your character finds themselves here, a part of christmas cheer and echoes, surrounded by free food and tinsel and even Mistletoe... The Christmas party! And by Christmas I mean Santa and reindeer and all that lame stuff. ]

[ Feel free to start your own top-level comments I mean seriously, if you need an excuse for dumb shenanigans this is it. ]

I promise I won't let Octavia kill you.


[Annnnd leaning in for just a quick little smooch?]

[anequal]

[Wow.

He actually grins a little when that quick kiss is over because wow. He wasn't expecting anything crazy from a guy like Alan, but wow. So quick and little. It's actually kind of cute. No matter Octavia keeps talking about him like that.]

Geez.

[But nope he's grabbing Alan by the collar of his shirt and pulling him in close.]

Go big or go home, Hunter. [AND THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL A KISS.]

[wirsinddiejager]

[Wow.

With how nervous Anthony was looking just a moment ago, Alan thought he'd be fine with just getting it over with. He definitely wasn't expecting this. But hey, a Hunter never backs down from a challenge, so he's kissing right back.

Also refusing to be the one to break it off. Because of the challenge. Not because he's into it or anything.]

[anequal]

[The only thing nerve-wrecking about this is the presence of The Girlfriend really. His competitiveness is just as strong as the rest, and he's not backing down either. Because he can't lose okay?? Totally no homo.]

[wirsinddiejager]

[Everything's going just fine up until the point when it occurs to Alan that he might actually be a little bit into this.

But that's probably just his imagination because he is 100% straight and Anthony is his best friend and that would just be weird. Maybe he's starting to hallucinate from lack of oxygen.

There's no way he's going to lose because of weird stray thoughts that are probably hallucinations anyway. No stopping.]

appropriate icon usage

[anequal]

[Nope. No stopping at all. Even though he's starting to wonder if maybe this has gone on enough. But it's not gone on long enough until they both fall over passed out for asphyxiation or ALAN GIVES UP.

So he might just be pushing forward a little maybe if he pushes enough Alan will give up.]

[wirsinddiejager]

[No way in hell is Alan giving up now. In fact, he's grabbing a firm hold of Anthony's shoulders just to assert his unwillingness to give up. And possibly to hold himself up.

Passing out from asphyxiation may actually be the only way this can end.]

[anequal]

[And he's still got his hold on the front of Alan's shirt from when he yanked him closer so he holds on to that tightly but he's going to tilt his head juuuuuust a little to make this a bit more comfortable.

Poor Ryan is going to have some passed out kids on his party floor.]

[wirsinddiejager]

[Okay, this is getting ridiculous. Alan doesn't want to pass out from a kiss, that would be embarrassing. Clearly it's time to bring in some drastic measures to try and make Anthony give up.

Watch out bro, here comes the tongue.]

[anequal]

[Oh dear god this has come really far. It's getting out of hand. So steamy titans are jealous!! If Alan's gonna be that way, two can play this game and he's getting tongue right back.]

[wirsinddiejager]

[Oh shit this is not going as planned. There may be actual literal steam coming out of Alan's ears at this point because dang.

Maybe passing out is the more realistic option after all.]

[anequal]

[Oh my god why are you steaming. This is ridiculous. What the hell. Anthony lets go of Alan's shirt but he puts them on his shoulders to pull himself higher. Maybe this will finally get him to give up--]

[wirsinddiejager]

[This is a really tough situation. Anthony's upping the stakes again, and Alan isn't sure he can match up to that. But passing out doesn't seem to be happening either, so the only remaining option would be to give up and lose like a loser. UNACCEPTABLE.





Okay no he's giving up. The gasping and blushing as he pulls away from the kiss is entirely due to running out of air and nothing else whatsoever.]

[anequal]

[VICTORY.

Anthony's face is totally flushed and he's gasping for air too when he lets go of Alan and pulls away, pushing his hair out of his face and pressing his hand to his mouth because JFC he just made out with his bestie wow he's so dead. He's sooooo dead later when Tavia finds him.




When Tavia finds him.]

... Oh my god.

Ooooooh my god I'm so dead.

[drama8om8]

Whateeeeeeeever would make you say that, Annnnnnnnthony?

[ Four things to know about Octavia Serket:

1) When she appears from behind you out of nowhere and is already so close you can feel her breath on the back of your head, you're probably in the shit.
2) When she starts over-elongating her words in that dangerously-calm tone she sometimes gets, you're definitely in the shit.
3) When her fingers start twitching like she's itching to get her mind control all up in everybody's business, you're really super majorly in the shit.
4) If any of the above apply and she's just seen you slipping her boyfriend the tongue, you are so far in the shit that there is only shit visible oh god run for your fucking life. ]

We are all adults here. Incredibly adult adults, who would never eeeeeeeever stoop to committing the atrocities their past selves did. Like mass murder, for example!

[ Said with the implication that one murder would be okay

Just a teeny little bitty one ]

[wirsinddiejager]

[Ohhhh shit.]

Uh. Yeah, I think we can all agree that murder is bad.

[Just going to. Get away from Anthony and swoop around to Octavia's side. Please don't murder his bff that would really suck.]

[anequal]

[JFC he almost screams as he jumps so far out of his skin he thinks he could give the female titan a run for her money and whips right around to back up and pus distance between himself and the angry girlfriend.]

That's terrorism Octavia!

[drama8om8]

Terrorism? Man. Pretty rude! When I have done absolutely nothing to anybody despite my incredibly clear rules being violated. Super flagrantly violated. With tongue! Wow.

[ And she's advancing on Anthony in an incredibly calm and placid manner. While pushing Alan aside in the most gentle and tender way possible! What a lady. ]

And just eff-why-eye, Alan, you can't just make blanket statements like "murder is bad." Sometimes murder is justified! And then it is perfectly acceptable.

[ SMILE SMILE SMILE~ ]

[wirsinddiejager]

[Despite Octavia's incredibly reasonable behaviour, Alan puts a cautious hand on her shoulder in a vaguely calming manner.]

Okay, if you want to be more specific, how about we say that murdering your boyfriend's best friend on Christmas would be pretty bad? Even if your rules got broken a bit.

[Oh god oh god how can he convince her?]

...At least there was no groping.

[anequal]

[He's not sure if telling her that Alan used tongue first would help his situation or not. It probably isn't. He will probably die anyway.]

It was just... it was a competition, okay! Weren't you the one who put up the mistletoes in the first place? Our prides were on the line!

[drama8om8]

Boys. Please! I thought we had firmly established that I am super not mad right now. Hells of not angry. I am soooooooo unfurious.

[ She bats Alan's hand off her shoulder in a completely un-incensed gesture of mildness. And oh god the smile has disappeared where did it go ]

Which is really, really lucky. Don't you think? I mean, if I was mad - which I'm totally not - then man. I would be lying awake all night just thinking of all the nasty shit I could do to the person I was mad at with my mind control powers! My cool mind control powers that work from a distance and are completely untraceable. I could just sit there and force somebody to punch themselves in the face repeatedly for hours. Wow.

[wirsinddiejager]

Octavia I promise I will never get anywhere near Anthony's mouth ever again please don't be mad

[anequal]

[HE DID NOT ACTUALLY KNOW SHE WAS PSYCHIC]

Oh my god.

I'm sorry, Octavia! I really am!

[drama8om8]

Haha. You guys are adorable. Such scamps!

[ D'aww. Time to hug out all this tension! Alan's hug comes with a pinch to his cutie cheekums that is maybe a little harder than necessary. Anthony's comes with the tiniest and friendliest of whispers. ]

Hey, buddy! If you touch him again, I will fucking kill you!

[ GOSH IT SURE IS GREAT THAT SHE'S NOT MAD OR UPSET AT ALL. She's just going to fly away now.

SHE'LL BE WATCHIN U MOTHERFUCKAS ]

[wirsinddiejager]

[Alan deflates a little once his terrifying girlfriend has flown off. He's also keeping a clear distance from Anthony because yeah. He knows she's watching.]

Let's never do that again.
