[BOND]

[luckyheart]

Who: lucky + unfortunate bystanders
When: day 43, afternoon
Where: the dining area

[SO TRAINGOERS. You may still be having water gun fights or you may have gotten bored of it, but if you're heading into the lounge to relax (or the kitchen to refill your water gun), you'll have to get past Lucky! He's taken over the table nearest the entrance to the car, dangling fairy lights from the ceiling and sprinkling silk rose petals on the table and the floor around it. There's a hand-scrawled posterboard hanging from the table's edge:

KISSING BOOTH
FREE
for good luck!!

If you try to pass he'll call out, so good luck trying to escape. But hey, if you play along you'll get sparks...

Or, y'know, you could be doing something totally unrelated in this post.]

[ He's giving the most judgemental look he can manage for a guy in pink overalls ]

A kissing booth. Really?

[luckyheart]

Absolutely!

[He is completely undaunted by judgement, leaning his elbow on the table and his chin in his hand.]

Why not? It's fun~

[time5kip]

[ He just sighs at that ]

Because it looks like a desperate man's last attempt to get attention, to start with.

[luckyheart]

What's wrong with desperation?

[Cue dramatic gestures -- he's a theatrical type, so how better to express his feelings than with his whole body??]

It's been almost three weeks since I've been in my lover's arms! There's no shame in a man looking for love and comfort!

[She's wet, hair still kind of tangled from improper management after sleeping in the library, and not wearing shoes.]

[And walking in to see that.]

...why.

[time5kip]

[ he's going to make a vague gesture toward the booth ]

And that's exactly why proposing to kiss near-strangers is the sendible thing to do here, I'm guessing.

[luckyheart]

Yes! It'll get me sparks and affection!

[time5kip]

I still think it's depressing.

But seeing as I need to collect sparks myself, I'll play. Do kisses on your hand count?

[luckyheart]

[waaaaves]

Because it's entertaining, of course!

[luckyheart]

Sure do!

[He pats the opposite side of the table and grins.]

Join me in the love zone! ♥

[time5kip]

[ he already regrets it all ]

Don't say it like that.

[luckyheart]

Ahaha! You're a real serious kid, aren't ya?

[time5kip]

Comes with the age. I'm 58.

[ Saying that as casually as possible before moving closer to the booth and reaching for his hand to kiss it ]

Thought I'd get that out of the way before you end up getting more annoying about it.

[daydreamshimmer]

To kiss random people?

[malignstar]

Well, I'd never pass up a chance to help generate sparks. Got to sacrifice for the hero thing.

[bowtiedbones]

Oh! This is cute!

[bowtiedbones]

[hhhHHHHHHair]

Oh gosh, oh no.

[daydreamshimmer]

[So much hair, goes all the way to her butt and so much volume. So it makes quite the rats nest.]

...oh no?

[bowtiedbones]

Hi! I'm Eliza, I'm from Thyme the teaching team, and so sorry this is my first introduction, but may I please fix your hair??

[daydreamshimmer]

[UM]

...wwwhy do you want to fix my mane?

[bowtiedbones]

I like doing hair.

[gestures weakly to her own]

And yours looks like it could be amazing with a comb-through and some conditioner.

[daydreamshimmer]

[ U M ]

.... [Oh, is this a special talent thing? Might be.]

I...guess? If you insist.

[bowtiedbones]

I insist!

[daydreamshimmer]

....all right. Lead the way...?

[bowtiedbones]

Great! This way. Your hair type doesn't look too different from mine, so we can just use my products for now.
