a stranger's bed

As a lead in to September, Riverview's ♥ Month of Romance, this is a completely optional mingle that will cause affected characters to end up in each other's beds. There are various options for both established and new CR. While it's easiest for characters still living in Communal Housing, anyone who has moved to their own homes can be affected and end up finding their way to Communal Housing, or within their own housing.

Residents of the Quarantine may notice that various businesses selling food and drink - cafés, diners, bakeries, restaurants, and other such establishments - are heavily advertising a new flavor that's supposed to be the biggest thing since pumpkin spice. A flavor additive that's said to subtly change the flavor of whatever the diner is eating or drinking to optimize the dish, drink, dessert, or any other food item it is added to for each person's individual taste, it's been selling like wildfire and is the latest trend.

After the cause of the rash of amnesia was revealed to be plant-related, sellers are keeping the origin of the secret ingredient very close to their chests, since it is a derivative of a recently-discovered plant dubbed chameleonis. Depending on the method of ingestion, this additive can have a variety of unexpected side effects, but only once the person who has ingested it becomes sleepy. Methods of ingestion include:

● Ingestion: Beverage: When ingested as a flavor shot to drinks ranging from sodas to coffee to alcoholic beverages, it can cause a desire for closeness to a particular other person. Affected characters end up crawling into bed with that specific other character when they become sleepy.

● Ingestion: Food: When ingested as a flavoring added to a baked good or other meal, it can cause an intense desire for body heat when the character becomes drowsy. It won't matter to an affected character who is providing the body heat, so long as it's someone, and they will end up sleepily crawling into someone else's bed for warmth.

● Inhalation: When inhaled ether from a steaming hot beverage or soup, or as an essential oil or aroma from a bakery, it can cause disorientation when a character becomes sleepy. Affected characters either aren't sure which bed is theirs and simply crawl into the closest one, occupied or not, or become convinced that another character's bed is their own.

Feel free to post up a top-level for your own character either affected and invading a random bed or unaffected but open to having their bed invaded by affected characters, or tag around to other people's top-levels.

One platinum brow rose up as Draco turned to face the man fully again. Slipping his hand into place and crossing his arms. No, this man did not 'cut an intimidating figure'. But Draco recognized confidence and a surety of self, mixed with the arrogance of those of Draco's own social standing, if not even a touch more than usual.

"My short life has done enough. But I am here now and it will remain in the past."

[dothelokimotion]

[ His grin is mirthless and full of teeth. ]

That is what they all say.

[ This is merely a boy on the cusp of manhood. And Loki has little interest in young boys trying to find their new paths in life. He considers conjuring up his knife once more for show before deciding against it. With a flippant hand, Loki gestures to the door. ]

Shouldn't you be leaving?

[dracolucmalfoy]

A smirk appeared on Draco's lips as he turned back for the door. "If you want me gone so badly then shouldn't you stop talking?" After all, Draco had been about to leave when the man had spoken again.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki merely conjures up the knife once more in response. He likes having the last word in and he's petty enough to make a show of it. ]

[dracolucmalfoy]

Draco's lips pursed as the knife reappeared. It was easy to understand the reason it did. It wasn't a message hard to miss at all. So here was one interaction that did not go well, and Draco couldn't blame the guy, really. Draco had been the one to invade this man's bed and, well... He would fix things later if he felt the need.

"Right. Goodbye then." Draco sai as he stepped out and attempted to find hsi way to his actual bed.
