warnings: please put any necessary warnings in the subject lines

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.

relieable: sums up our friendship pretty well (the strip club incident)

it's all good!

[personal profile] relieable 2017-08-30 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
[oh... that's actually a good quetion. Osomatsu lifts his head to look at Lyle, blinking slowly]

I... dunno. For some reason I got really sleepy, but cold at the same time. Maybe I got lost lookin' for my bed.
holds_up_walls: (what just happened?)

woo

[personal profile] holds_up_walls 2017-08-31 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I can tell you for sure this isn't your bed. Unless I'm the one somewhere else.

[Nope, its his room, but oh well]

Is this something that happens often? You ending up in someone else's bed?

[But he hasn't tried to kick him out yet]
relieable: (sorry i groped you)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-08-31 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
Not... really... At home we all slept in one big futon. Er, my brothers, an' me. But this is the first time I've ever wound up in someone else's bed. [a normal person might excutse himself by now, but Osomatsu's staying put]
holds_up_walls: (in a suit)

[personal profile] holds_up_walls 2017-09-02 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
How many brothers did you have?

[Since he didn't have a face with a username yet]

Well, I guess that's good. It's not a random habit then.
relieable: (unicorns do exist)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-09-02 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
There's six of us in total. [a yawn. Osomatsu wants to snuggle again, but he's also being cautious] So, yeah. Five younger brothers.
holds_up_walls: (we can trust them Tieria)

[personal profile] holds_up_walls 2017-09-02 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, to be fair, Lyle hasn't kicked him out of the bed yet or told him to get out. The comment about six brothers though...]

Unless there is someone else here with five younger brothers, we spoke before. Over text. I'm Lyle.
relieable: wanna see (i can stick my whole fist in my mouth)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-09-02 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[the name is immediately recognized, and Osomatsu's sleepy eyes light up. the twin! the guy who... lost his brother]

Lyle! What a coincidence! It's good to finally put a face to a name! Talkin' on the network is fun, an' all, but it can't beat talkin' to a real person!
holds_up_walls: (smile || art)

[personal profile] holds_up_walls 2017-09-04 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay, definitely confirms that this is the guy he spoke earlier when he gets that reaction]

Yeah, nice to be able to actually know who someone is rather than a username. Not exactly how I expected we'd meet if you had asked, but could be worse right.
relieable: (did i get stoned on a sunday afternoon)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-09-04 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
Sure could! [a beat... then Osomatsu realizes that he basically just climbed into this guy's bed without asking. why did he do that?] I'm, uh... Sorry about bargin' in here.

[he finally scoots back, even though it's really cold!]
holds_up_walls: (in a suit)

[personal profile] holds_up_walls 2017-09-04 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
It's all right. You can stay... if you want to.

[Yes, surprised as he was, something in him is kind of loathe to just kick him out. He'd kind of sort of said that he was cold so it would be mean to just push him out]

I don't see a problem with it.
relieable: (i am the fairy godmother of the drink)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-09-05 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ah, really? Osomatsu would have left if he'd requested, but he looks pleased when Lyle says he doesn't see a problem with him hanging out. whooo! buddies! this is what pals do, right? have sleepovers?

two fully grown men having a sleepover. sure...]


Well, all right! [he makes himself comfortable again, trying to get warm. still, he is confused as to why he wandered into a stranger's bed. even if it was a positive meeting. this could have gone south very fast] You doin' okay otherwise?
holds_up_walls: (cell phone)

[personal profile] holds_up_walls 2017-09-05 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Adult slumber party? Sure why not. Lyle is up for that. It wasn't how they had expected it to happen, but they could definitely hang out and probably go back to sleep at some point. For the moment, Lyle is too awake to immediately go back to sleep.

Lyle's not going to outright say it, but he wouldn't push him away if he wanted to cuddle]


Yeah, I'm doing okay. How about you? Since you ended up in someone else's room.
relieable: you start running (when the tequila says to run)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-09-05 12:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[cuddling sounds like a great idea. Osomatsu sighs, closing his eyes]

I was feelin' pretty weird earlier, but now I'm good. Great, actually.
holds_up_walls: (in a suit)

[personal profile] holds_up_walls 2017-09-06 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Good you're doing better, but weird? Weird how?

[Lyle is actually curious and doesn't move if Osomatsu is going to cuddle up with him]
relieable: (i fail to see your point)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-09-06 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Like, I was really cold... and disoriented? I haven't had any alcohol in a couple days, so I don't think I was drunk. [a beat] Or high. [he tilts his head up, thinking] Just weird, but I dunno how to explain it.
holds_up_walls: (wait what?)

[personal profile] holds_up_walls 2017-09-07 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Cold? That's... odd. I wouldn't think it was alcohol. I've never really heard of it making you cold... or experienced it.

[He was Irish. He'd had drinks before]

Did it happen right after you ate something? Maybe it was like some weird allergic reaction?

[He's grasping at straws]
relieable: i'll wear the eyepatch (if you do the accent)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-09-07 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
[that was true! alcohol did not make one cold]

Maybe. [another yawn and he does it. he snuggles. sharing body heat makes everything seem much better] I have been eating a lot of stuff I don't normally eat.
holds_up_walls: (thinking)

[personal profile] holds_up_walls 2017-09-08 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Really? Like what?

[Lyle doesn't push him away, kind of leaning in just a little bit more when he does. For complaining about being cold, he was pretty warm to Lyle]

Has this happened to you before?
relieable: in theory (glitter fights sound a lot funner)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-09-08 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
Nope! Never. [he tries to think about the food that he's been eating, brows furrowing while his eyes are closed] ...I have this job at the cafe... so I've been drinking a lot of their coffee, an' eating a lot of their snacks.
holds_up_walls: (in a suit)

[personal profile] holds_up_walls 2017-09-09 03:10 pm (UTC)(link)
From the cafe? Have they started doing something new recently that might be cause something to happen?
relieable: (all dressed in satin)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-09-09 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh, yeah, actually... [his eyes slide shut] We just introduced this new flavor, puttin' it in everything, from sandwiches, to the drinks, to the baked goods.
holds_up_walls: (serious)

[personal profile] holds_up_walls 2017-09-10 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh... maybe that has something to do with it. Maybe it is this spice that made you feel that way?

[Lyle stared at the ceiling for a few long moments, then closed his eyes as well]
relieable: it's in the freezer (if he wants his tooth back)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-09-10 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[hmmm. Osomatsu probably wouldn't have put the two of these things together by himself. but now that Lyle has said it, it makes sense.

...maybe he should stop eating the stuff with that spice in it.

even if the cuddling's been nice]


Who knows... They've been putting it in everything, not just at work.
holds_up_walls: (what just happened?)

[personal profile] holds_up_walls 2017-09-11 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lyle hasn't been eating much of the spice. He tended to avoid eating out. He was at least a decent cook so he didn't think it was necessary. So he hadn't noticed it as much, but if it was in everything and seemed to be causing a problem then it might be wise to avoid it]

I noticed that they have been. Everything. I'm picky so I've tried to avoid it.

[At least mildly successfully]

It smells good though.
relieable: so we don't feel bad (but you're having sex and we're not)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-09-12 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
Sure does... [he contemplates saying something else but then decides against it. that might be weird. and he doesn't want this to be weird.

...it's already kind of weird, isn't it? naaaaah, they're pals! it's cool.

he doesn't have much else to say after that, falling asleep now that he's warm and cozy]
I'll look into it tomorrow.
