[ The video starts just as Amy draws back after having kissed someone, lips slightly pursed and a rather satisfied expression on her face. ]

So — this curse again, yeah? The birds are a nice touch.


[ ooc; She'll be around the City! Catch her in the park, while she's Christmas shopping, or in a café. ]

[The Master's seen the network posts, and so he's trying to be extra-careful today - he doesn't especially want to kiss anybody, after all.

And yet, he still manages to bump into Amy - quite literally - when she returns to the flat. Before he knows it, he's sweeping her into a prolonged kiss. He might be morally reprehensible, but he's actually quite a good kisser.

Not that it makes the situation any better for Amy, of course.]

[waitedforyears]

[ Amy enjoys this curse. She really does - it's fun and she's always liked kissing people. Why else would she have worked as a kissogram? She honestly enjoys it.

This, however, is one kiss she really could have done without. It's a good kiss, fair enough, it's quite pleasant, but she doesn't like the Master. Too many memories of a timeline that never happened, a year that never was.

So while she's kissing him back, her hands are on his chest - she'd be pushing him away if she could. ]

[worstretconever]

[He has to hand it to Amy, she's pretty good at this. For a human, anyway. When he's done, though, he steps back and grimaces. Their dislike is quite mutual - even if it's somewhat closer to apathy on the Master's part.]

I'd burn that mistletoe if I didn't think it would only bring more of the stuff.

[waitedforyears]

[ She's not even sure how to react, torn between disgust and trying to make light of the situation.

In the end, she settles for a fairly neutral: ] How about you just take a few steps back.

[worstretconever]

[He shrugs and takes a few more steps.] At least you aren't asking for an encore.

[ Merlin seems to be bumping into everyone he knows on the streets today. Figures.

This time, he doesn't really get far on the resisting, and is quick to lean in and press his lips to Amy's. Damn.

Could be worse, could be worse, he keeps mentally repeating to himself. ]

[waitedforyears]

[ She most definitely does not mind the kisses and she knows about Merlin and Charlie, of course, but she enjoys kisses - she enjoys them immensely. She doesn't see it as infidelity so much as just something fun.

So yeah, it could definitely be worse. Her lips fall open under his, hands curling into his shirt to pull him closer. ]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

[ Oh. Oh, okay. She's being. Receptive. He gives a surprised sound, and a bit of flailing, but eventually grabs onto her shoulders and relents. Only for a little while, though, the slightest deepening of the kiss, before he makes himself pull away. He won't let it get that prolonged. ]

[waitedforyears]

[ Now that is a pity, that he won't let it get prolonged, because she enjoys this and she likes him and if she likes him, why shouldn't she kiss him?

It all makes perfect sense in her mind, and it's the curse, but not entirely. So her hands are still on his shirt when he draws back.

[conesoldstober]

Keeping busy today?

[waitedforyears]

Out and about. If I get kisses out of it, that's perfectly fine by me.

[conesoldstober]

You seem to be in the minority. I've had rather a few violent reactions.

[waitedforyears]

Really? How many people slapped you, then?

[verylast]

[ He's sitting beside her, tea cooling in front of him, a faintly amused look on his face. Kissing, honestly. He's more interested in poking at her bags like a particularly unruly child. ]

They're poisonous, you know.

[waitedforyears]

Yeah, I know. [ She's grinning widely, and she's entirely too amused (and ignoring that she's kissed the Master because that is something that she does not want to deal with, thank you very much. ]

I'll be home soon, though.

[verylast]

How many unsuspecting victims have you locked lips with today? [ Grinning at her in amusement. ]

Those poor people.

[waitedforyears]

Oh, they weren't complaining. [ She's happy, she really is. ]

Action

[trenchknives]

[As Jimmy hurries down the street from home, he spots Amy, and immediately knows what's going to happen even before he starts approaching her. He figures he'll apologize in advance, just in case she's not in the mood for his kisses.]

Sorry. I'm probably gonna kiss you.

[waitedforyears]

[ Amy most definitely does not mind the kisses -- she loves kissing. Sure, it isn't with Rory and she loves kissing Rory best of all, loves Rory more than she's ever loved anyone else, but kisses? Kisses aren't cheating and she enjoys that, she enjoys the act of it and loves feeling lips over hers. ]

You should. [ And yes, part of that is the curse but part of that is also simply that she really does enjoy it. So she's already reaching for him, hands curling in his shirt and pulling him closer. ]

[trenchknives]

Ya sure about that?

[But hell, the way the curse works, he knows he's not going to be able to avoid it -- and frankly, he really doesn't want to, because he's attracted to her, so he leans in, planting a kiss on her lips, lingering for a moment, not stepping back.]

[waitedforyears]

Yeah. Definitely sure. [ And part of it is simply the curse and that the curse wants her to kiss him, anyone.

Part of it is that she's attracted to him and that she enjoys kissing people and that she doesn't think that it's cheating. She loves this, loves kissing another person and the feeling of his lips over hers makes her sigh. ]

[ Well he was legitimately just walking over to CS to look at something, and then back home. Like, really. But then, he got hungry. And thought about something else, and had to go back to CS. Then decided maybe he'd look around for ~Christmas stuff, or something. He's got a girlfriend here, after all.

Still, totally slipped his mind, this curse did. He's mostly managed avoiding running into people so far - although he hasn't been trying tooooo much, because kissing! Just a bit though, because girlfriend. And then there's Amy. ]

[waitedforyears]

[ Amy has a husband and she loves him more than anyone or anything else in the world - more than the Doctor and more than travelling and more than having time and space at her fingertips. It doesn't mean she isn't enjoying this curse because kissing's never counted as cheating in her book. Hell, if two consenting adults are doing it and it isn't hurting anyone (isn't hurting Rory) then why is there a problem? Amy doesn't think there is.

So. Husband and girlfriend aside, she doesn't particularly mind running into Tony. She's kissed him before, hasn't she, and he's a great kisser. Hands going to his shoulders instinctively. She gets out a hi, and then they're kissing. ]

[fe_male]

[ That's probably a pretty healthy attitude to have about kissing, really. He might consider adopting that one himself, officially, given that it probably makes things a lot smoother in general. Unofficially it's quite similar to how he's usually acted, anyway. The largest deterrent to the idea is how often how easy it is for kissing to turn into a little bit more than that.

But hey, they're safe. They aren't going to have that problem, and in the meantime, it's a pretty good curse, all things considered. Also thank you, he is a great kisser. She's a great kisser too, and maybe he'll be cool and rest his hands on her waist too because that's where his instincts go. ]

[waitedforyears]

[ It definitely works for her; she'd claim that it's a great attitude to have about it - and she's been tempted of course, to turn kissing into more (most notably with the Doctor, but everything she feels for him got all tangled up back then), but she hasn't ever cheated on Rory, hasn't slept with anyone else since their wedding.

She loves this curse, and she rather enjoys kissing him, lips falling open under his. ]
