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.

Why would I tell anyone? It's not like we're dating or something that this would be normal.

[Pout.]

I won't tell if you don't.

[bunnyhopped]

Oh, I don't know, there are a couple people around that would be pretty jealous to learn you got to cuddle in bed with me.

But yeah don't tell anyone.

[tempredmental]

Hmph.

[Keith honestly didn't care about that. Having people jealous of him for one reason or another had been something that caused him some problems in the Garrison. He wasn't exactly on board with the idea of dealing with it in any capacity anywhere.]

Fine.

[He turned, intending to head out and try to calm himself down.]

[bunnyhopped]

[ She had no objections when he turned and looked like he was about to leave. If this had been the first time that someone randomly ended up in her bed with no knowledge of how they did so, Hana might have been more awkward and flustered about it, probably even angry. But as it was she just had to find entertainment in the situation because being D.Va even in the oddest circumstances was her thing. So she couldn't help one last tease as he turned: ]

Though you know, if you just wanted to thank me for saving your life the other night, you could've just bought me ice cream.

[tempredmental]

[Keith stopped in his tracks, frozen for a second, and then turned back.]

Huh?

[He looked confused.]

But I did say thanks. I wasn't here for that.

[Yeah... totally missed the joke.]

[bunnyhopped]

[ joke



keith's head ]

... Nevermind. You can go now. [ she even waves him off! ] I need to get back to my beauty sleep.

[tempredmental]

[The story of Keith's life... really.

He frowned.]

Fine.

[And he was out.]
