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.

"You have options too, Tony," she says, reaching down to pat his hand atop her knee. "Here, at least. You weren't always Iron Man, and you have the benefit of...knowing more than before the first time you put on the suit. You could decide to do something--be someone different if you wanted."

The mice, listening intently to this conversation, are silent. But if Tony were to look over at them they might perk up at his attention. They might even whisper to each other in hushed tones at gaining his attention. Wanda glances their way briefly, and a small smile creeps onto her face.

"I mean, after all, you are apparently a Three-Faced Priest here. Have the mice told you yet about their goddess and savior, Wanda Maximoff?" she teases gently.

At the mention, Tony lifts his head just enough to crane his head over to look at the mice. Which promptly burst into quite cheers as they see him looking. That is still incredibly weird, and Tony lets out a huff of a laugh as his head drops back against Wanda's shoulder.

"I don't, really," he murmurs, letting his eyes fall close again. There's never been a question of his life being anything other than what it is. "S'fine, though. I like being Iron Man." Being Tony Stark was a different story, but there was a lot less he could do about that.

His question of course begs the question.

Does Wanda enjoy being an Avenger? Their Scarlet Witch?

Staring forward at the corner of the coffee table, She curls closer against Tony and sighs, finding herself considering the matter for long moments as Tony seems in danger of drifting off again.

And it's fine. She doesn't need to drag this out.

Speaking with him now has given her quite a bit to think about and she's well aware the answers won't come quickly or easily. There's time for her figure all of this out, no doubt. That portal isn't going to take them home anytime soon.
