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.

[While normally, Sleep was something that Reaper did while either sitting up or completely on guard, thanks to spending a little too much time out and around the places where this odd new plant was being cooked and mixed into drinks...

It was odd, actually feeling tired to an actual measurable degree. Even odder was the idea of falling asleep in a place where he could be seen, stretched out on his side and dozing lightly, unguarded for the first time in weeks.

It's only when he shifts to roll over that he notices there's a little bit too much tug to the blankets closer to his feet. Which, all in all, is enough to have the wraith sit up in confusion as... he looks down at the person(?) curled up at the foot of his bed. A pair of cat ears folded back, a tail...

He blinks those oddly haunted-looking eyes of his once, squinting in the low light...

Is that ... a person, or a really big animal? He honestly can't tell, so he's just going to give it a pretty hard nudge with a foot.

Maybe he should reach for his gun, instead...]

[Ichimatsu was so used to not having any money that the fad-flavor craze just about went entirely over his head. He seemed to be largely immune to a lot of things Riverview liked to throw at him-- the fire in the communal housing left his room untouched, and even though he had money he'd pretty much forgotten to get something with this weird new additive in it. Unfortunately, that didn't make him immune to the fad-consumption of others, and the whole of most populated areas had a very dull scent to it that made his nose curl. Given he was in a relatively constant state of somewhat drowsy due most prominently to straight up sucking at sleeping like a healthy human being, it also pretty immediately meant he was lost from the plant's essence disorienting his already minimal sense of direction.]

[He supposed it was autopilot that sent him to Reaper's space, since it was one of very few places he ever went and he wasn't especially enchanted by the idea of being anywhere near his own room or either of his brothers', but he had no real idea of what he'd crawled onto except that it was soft and vaguely warmed by the body in it. Not that he had any presence of mind to register there was, in fact, a person in the bed he'd crawled onto the end of.]

[The foot nudges him nearly right on off the bed and he yelps, the sound startlingly feline, and springs onto his hands and knees, the tail extending from his spine poofing outward to at least three times' its usual size. It takes him a solid few seconds to stare at Reaper before anything even remotely makes sense, and his tail remains at a startled state of possibly-electrocuted even as he oozes back to settle in a loaf crouch.]


Jesus, what the hell.

[He's been used to having the messier of the two Matsuno brothers around him on the regular, at least. His presence hadn't been one that's irritating, but the guy usually gave him a warning before he just showed up to hang out in his general presence, to talk or to eat the food that was left in his apartment as rations for the week.

But this was a whole new experience he was entirely unprepared for.

It was Ichimatsu, which is enough to make him NOT reach for the gun he has hidden under his pillow (at least), but...

A quiet, red-eyed glowing stare of confusion is more than enough to get the message across. One that Ichimatsu himself voiced.]


--Don't 'what the hell' me. What are you--

[Doing. He doesn't get it out, because now he's just staring at...]

What the hell are you wearing on your head? [Those have got to be fake. He's too tired for this, look at him]
ichimyatsu: (075)

gnfdjkh no worries

[personal profile] ichimyatsu 2017-09-06 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
[The very ears Reaper questions fold flat back against his head and Ichimatsu almost doesn't even seem to realize, but he jolts in place and looks upward at his hairline, his face flooding with color.]

Ah, those... Uh. I'm not, really, wearing them.

[His tail, in the meantime, curls carefully inward to huddle between his knees.]

[he can't really hide the expression of shock on his face without his mask, so...

He's sticking Ichimatsu with a pretty wordless stare, trying to figure out exactly what the hell the other meant by he's not really wearing them.]


...

Either I'm having a really fucked up dream, or you have some explaining to follow that up with.
ichimyatsu: (072)

[personal profile] ichimyatsu 2017-09-07 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
Possibly both, [The words leave him on a short half-laugh, and he sits up and onto his haunches carefully.]

Uh. It's... hard to explain, really, since I don't honestly understand it, but... Sometimes I get cat ears and a tail? Happens most when I'm startled. Or angry? In varying degrees of... cat- ...ness.

[He's... just going to put a hand over his face and try to clear the swimming juices inside his brain. When he opens up his eyes, Ichimatsu's NOT going to have cat ears, and it'll all just be some weird fucking hallucination the lack of sleep and the busy regeneration of his nanites were causing with his brain.

He opens his eyes again...

And he still has the ears. God, why.]


Does your...

Brother do this, too, or is this just...

...You.

[The ears somehow fold farther against his head, and he looks supremely scolded despite being a grown-ass adult with a largely ever-changing deadpan expression.]

Just me. And there's two other brothers here, now.

[personal profile] hellshot 2017-09-07 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
....[His thumb presses against his forehead. Right. There WAS another one of the 'Matsuno' brothers here. He'd ... unfortunately met him the night before, so he shakes his head.]

I've met him. Mistook him for Karamatsu.

[But that's not important right now.]

...Look, that aside. It's whatever. If you're some sort of fucked up half-cat, I've seen much worse.
But give a man a damn warning before startling him like that. Were you waiting for me to wake up or something? You know I have a gun under my pillow.

[Read: why are you trying to get shot by startling him while he's sleeping, man.]
ichimyatsu: (092)

[personal profile] ichimyatsu 2017-09-08 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
[He chuckles faintly.]

That's real common, even with people who've known us all our lives.

[His tail curls closer to himself and he belatedly takes a moment to realize that... Yeah, he sure is in Reaper's bed. At the foot of it, in his room. When did he get here...?]

...I'll be real, I don't... really remember going to sleep here. Or getting here in the first place.
