The Mother of All Logs
WHO: Anyone and Everyone
WHAT: All the kissin's
WHEN: Dec 16 - 18
WHERE: Wherever you want!
WARNINGS: Affection, freak-outs, possible R ratings
Ok! Here is the post for collecting all your kissing logs! If you want to do individual Network posts and then lead in to kissing that way, that's fine, but if you're looking to do a straight up log, this is the place to do it. That way we don't flood the community with all the log posts.
Instructions:
1. Post your character's name. One reply per character so that they're all neatly organized.
2. When you tag to a character's thread, put your participating character's name in the subject line.
3. ???
3a. Feel free to edit the post tags to include your character name for easier activity reporting
4. PROFIT!

His mouth curls into a much smaller but more genuine smile. He tilts his head slightly to the side, as if simply considering her statement.]
All right. Go right ahead.

The urgency in her movements spurs him onward, as he spins them around and backs her up gently, pressing her into the wall behind them. His hand comes up to her cheek as the kiss intensifies.]

Something is wrong. On an intellectual level, he knows that. On a more emotional one, he can feel it. But the drive within him, the passion, the... hunger - it feels insatiable. He can't bring himself to care about what's wrong with this picture. There is only the two of them, right here and now. Nothing else could possibly matter half so much.]
no subject
Finally, though, the fire inside of her seems to die down and she feels sated enough to pull away, gasping for breath.]
no subject
He didn't even have to look up to know there was a sprig of mistletoe above them, but that kiss... was emphatically not within the bounds of their normal relationship. What's more, that was a lot more intense than most of the other mistletoe kisses he's had up to this point.
He hoped Kate would not be too bothered by what had just happened - it was not like they had really had a choice, and he was comfortable enough with himself and his friends to simply accept what had just happened between them and move on. Physical attraction was perfectly normal, and while one would not usually act on it quite so viscerally... well, for him at least, no harm had been done. Whether she would be able set it aside the same way quite so easily was a different question entirely, however.]
Are you all right, Beckett-san?
no subject
Thanks to the mistletoe, she was sure. But there had been something much more intense there and she doesn't want to think too hard about it.]
Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Uh... [She points up.] Mistletoe. I... didn't really put it together until now.
no subject
Yeah, it's happened to me several times over the past couple days. Nothing to really do about it but move on.
[Some good could come out of this after all. It was a small hope, but perhaps the kiss had distracted her from her original question for him?
He tilts his head subtly to the side, to make the worst of his injuries less visible.]
no subject
His movement, however, does the exact opposite of his intent. She was ready to turn tail and run and forget any of it even happened until she remembered the reason she chased him down in the first place.]
Hey, so... You gonna finally tell me what's up?
no subject
He'd lied to people plenty in the past. However... she sincerely cared about him, and because of his recent amnesia, more people had seen closed space than he would have liked anyway.
Besides... he was tired of lying to his friends.]
Do you have ten or twenty minutes to spare? It would probably be easier to just show you.
no subject
Yeah. Take all the time you need.
no subject
[He gestures in the direction he had been going initially, turning to continue walking that way, though at a much more reasonable pace. He was wearing his usual enigmatic smile, though as ever recently it was a little more strained than usual.
He noted to himself that it would be a shorter trip, as in the time they had been kissing, the pocket of closed space had continued expanding.]
I am sure you likely recall the abilities I displayed during the Dark Hour?
It will probably not surprise you to know that that is not where my abilities originated.
no subject
No, I'm not. I know some of the people here have special powers. I'm not really sure how that works, but you're using them to help people so I figured that was good enough.
no subject
[It seems that even after admitting how bad off he is, it is still instinct to draw attention from and minimize his injuries, as after a brief search for the correct word he come up with -] ...condition.
The place I am leading you is similar to the Dark Hour in some ways, though it is a dimension in space, not in time.
[He pauses as they reach the edge of the closed space, and he turns to her with his head tilted a little curiously to one side.]
You are sure you wish to come with me? It is not too late to turn back. Though I assure you I can keep you safe, it may be a lot to take in.
no subject
But she'd made progress since then. And she took Koizumi's assurance to heart. This might give her a chance to understand what was going on, and her inquisitive cop nature outweighed her fear.]
Yeah, I'm fine. I wanna come.
no subject
Very well. Could you close your eyes for a bit? It will only take a few seconds.
no subject
Okay, now what?
no subject
"That's enough."
Those two small steps were enough to bring them into another world. When she opens her eyes, she'll be greeted by a familiar landscape, except one dark and devoid of life. There is a profound sense of emptiness in this place, a sense of not belonging.
Koizumi, on the other hand, looks at ease and perfectly at home.
no subject
"Where are we?"
oops definitely switched writing styles in that last tag
Explaining these things was becoming disturbingly easy and commonplace over the past few days.
"Soon, we should see the blue giants - Celestials - this being uses to vent her frustration. If left unchecked, the destruction they wreak here would make this pocket dimension expand, eventually covering the whole world, and then replacing it.
I have been granted the ability to enter this space - and to battle the beings within - thus destroying the space, and preventing the eventual destruction of the world."
He explains all this very matter-of-factly, as if things like this were not unusual. And for him, they weren't.
Gradually, a light blue glow appears in the distance behind him.
that's fine, it seemed like an appropriate transition place anyway lol
"So that's where the bruises come from?" she says, gesturing to his face. "You coming in here and fighting these things?"
no subject
"Indeed. In my world, there would have been dozens of espers to combat closed space. Here, I am alone, so when said being gets particularly frustrated, it can be... difficult."
He turns to face the glow casually as two blue giants slowly rise about a mile or so in front of them. Gradually one swings one of its massive arms in an arc with unimaginable force, wreaking destruction over everything within about a six block radius from it.
no subject
"You have to fight them by yourself?" She shakes her head. "I don't get it. I thought the point of this island is everything we had back home was fiction. How did this follow you here?"
no subject
He shrugs casually.
"Who can tell? Does this place ever make any kind of sense? Perhaps this divine being transcends realities, or fictions. It would not surprise me to find that 'God' is not as bound by the boarders of our universe as the rest of us.
Perhaps there is another divine being here whose subconscious coping mechanism behaves the same way. Or perhaps it is only the closed space that followed us. The Dark Hour that we encounter here comes from another world as well, and from what I have gathered, it seems to be here despite the absence of the cause it had back in its original world.
If you will excuse me for a moment, however, I must deal with these." He indicates the giants with a wave, before backing up a couple paces and closing his eyes. Moments later, he is enshrouded in a sudden burst of scarlet energy, which surrounds him in a glowing sphere as green lightning crackles around its edges. He slowly lifts off the ground, then rockets forward toward the giants, reaching them in a matter of seconds. At this point, he is only visible as an indistinct crimson blur.
He floats and dodges around both giants very quickly, darting in to slice across the chest of one, then flying into the face of the second one, which seems to serve to distract it, but not actually harm it much. His next swerves back to the first one, encircling its right wrist and managing to sever it, upon which point it begins to bleed some sort of homogenous blue material that appears to compose its entire being.
