Day 255 — Mistletoe Mingle
[You won't hear them coming. You won't see their snare. The mistletoe bots are out and they're hunting you, two by two. You can run and you can hide, but eventually you will be caught, and then there's nothing left to do but kiss your way out!]

(OOC: Mingle until your lips are chapped! Information on mistletoe bots event.)

[ She nods, thoughtfully. ] I wasn't thinking so much of here as... back home. [ And maybe a little here after today, though that is situated so deeply in her subconscious that it may just not be a thing at all. ]

There's this girl at the Pie Hole... Olive? She's liked him... well, forever I guess and they can touch no problem. They kissed once. [ A beat. ] Sometimes I just feel like it would make everyone a whole lot happier if it wasn't just me and Ned.

	[Wryly] Considering how long you may be stuck here, you may need to consider it eventually here too, you know. [Then, more seriously, he considers what she's actually asked him about] Would it make you happier? Do you like Olive yourself? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I do. Not like that, I wouldn't want to kiss her or anything but... I do like her. She's my best friend, I think. If anyone was going to... you know. I think it'd have to be her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2014-02-10 04:43 pm UTC (link)
	Hmm. I have to say, in my experience, these thing tend to work better with someone you're both attracted to. If she's his lover and your best friend, things could get very complicated if one of those relationships went wrong, you know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2014-02-10 04:47 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I suppose so. [ She makes a frustrated noise, flopping back to lie on the sand. ] It's silly. I probably shouldn't even be thinking about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2014-02-11 05:04 pm UTC (link)
	No, you should definitely be thinking about it. Or are you really ready to potentially go through the whole of your life with hardly any affectionate physical contact? [He honestly can’t imagine that.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2014-02-12 12:00 pm UTC (link)
	[ If Ned was here, her answer would be an easy of course because physical contact isn't everything, but she's spent the better part of the day kissing people and some of those were really nice. Too nice. Nice enough to make her question everything she thought she knew for certain. ] ...I don't know. I love him. Shouldn't that be enough? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He gives her a slightly pained look.] Only if you're a romantic or a poet or something who actually enjoys suffering. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ She makes an amused little noise, though truth be told it's not amused at all. ] So what do you suggest I do? He's not here, I can't talk this through with him... but I can't just cheat on him either. I can't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2014-02-12 09:43 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know. [But he is trying to help, so he considers her problem.] How about giving yourself a deadline? If you slip back home before then, fine. If you don't, you've waited long enough and he'd understand? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2014-02-12 09:57 pm UTC (link)
	[ She nods, slowly. Mulling it over. That seems like a fair deal even though it breaks her heart to even consider it. Then again, the thought of living alone for the rest of her life... it's a hard thought to swallow. ] How long? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2014-02-13 09:32 am UTC (link)
	I'd have thought that was really up to you. We all have different levels of tolerance of being alone. [And he knows his is a lot lower than most people's.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2014-02-13 08:37 pm UTC (link)
	[ Sigh. ] I've waited for him twenty years already. What's the harm in a few more? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2014-02-14 10:46 am UTC (link)
	[He blinks a bit, because wow, that's a long time.] You clearly have a much higher tolerance than I do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	But that's no kind of life! You're a pretty girl - and so full of life - you should be out there living it! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	First time I went out there to live it, someone murdered me. [ So, you know. There is that. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He winces.] Seriously? The first time? That sucks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yep. Not a great way to end your first caribbean cruise. [ She smiles, not entirely happily. ] Maybe Ned was supposed to be my first and only kiss... not that he is anymore. [ And this is what makes her so conflicted. Kissing other people was really nice. Some more than others. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2014-02-15 02:29 pm UTC (link)
	[Ah. Right. He arches an eyebrow.] Got caught by some mistletoe bots, have you? [Then, ostentatiously looking around:] Darn, never seem to be any around when you actually need them! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2014-02-15 08:08 pm UTC (link)
	A few, maybe. [ Good job on making her blush. Just a bit, tho. She reaches over to give him a playful shove against the shoulder. ] You shouldn't talk like that, you have a boyfriend y'know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He grins.] I have a very understanding boyfriend. And now, in this place, I have a boyfriend who knows beyond doubt that if I am off kissing people when the bots demand, that really is all I’m doing.

[And yes, he does look a bit smug about that. It’s going to be a while before he’s got over the fact that he’s actually, in a way, enjoying being monogamous.]

	I suppose that's one good thing about those wrist bands. You'll always know if you've been cheated on. [ She smiles, releasing a content sigh. ] Thanks for listening to me, Jack. It helped a lot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2014-02-19 02:52 pm UTC (link)
	Any time, sweetheart. And thanks for feeding me! [He grins.] Now, want me to go and see if I can find one of those cute little bots so I can kiss you without you having to feel guilty? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2014-02-19 03:26 pm UTC (link)
	You really don't give up, do you? [ But she laughs, rather than feeling offended. This is Jack, after all. By now she knows what he's like. ] Tell you what... if you don't tell Ianto? You can kiss me without a bot. Save us both a lot of time and trouble... and after the day I've had, what's the harm of one more? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
