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.

[what a weird question, Osomatsu thinks at first, but then recalls that there was something like that going on when he got there. people were losing memories]

Not me. [he snuggles closer, closing his eyes] I think... I, like, got here too late for anything t'happen to me.

Yeah? You got here that soon? Or has a shitload of time passed and I just haven't realised? Seems off.

[He doesn't dwell on it for too long.] How you likin' it so far?
relieable: (there's no hope for you)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-10-08 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Hasn't been long! [he grins] I... Guess it's better off than bein' at home. But it's also been kinda rough.

Because people bully you all the time? [Dave just assumes.] Or because you miss your five thousand other brothers?
relieable: (it was a ghost)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-10-14 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
People don't bully me! Why would you think that? [he opens his eyes to look at Dave again]

[Dave's eyes are shut, and they stay shut, even though he feels as if he's being watched.]

I actually have no idea. [Yes, nice save.] Why's it so hard here, then?
relieable: but i don't really care due to the beer and the xanax (beer and xanax may be a bad combo)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-10-15 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
[he's watching you]

...it's not important, really.

It is important and you're pretending it's not important because even though we're obviously extremely close you don't trust me with your delicate emotional baggage.

[...a small smile tugs at the corners of his lips, and he closes his eyes again, relaxing]

It's not that I don't trust you... I mean, you're pretty cozy, an' all. It's more like I just wanna sleep instead of get into... all that. [a beat] But, tomorrow, if ya still wanna hear about my delicate emotional baggage, I'll tell you.

I can't believe you lied to me about the importance. [But he is pretty fucking tired.]

Alright, well. I guess I'll still be here. [Dave snuggles in, settling.] Night, nerd.
relieable: (can i have him when you're done)

[personal profile] relieable 2017-10-15 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
[heh! For the first time in a while, Osomatsu feels... really happy]

Right back at you, nerd.
