the affectionate physical contact meme

you love spending time with your significant other. but sometimes, just "spending time" with him/her isn't enough. you need to have your hands on each other every now and then.

➝ post your character below, with your character's name and series in the subject.
➝ tag other people, using an rng with range 1-8 to roll a scenario.
➝ roll as many times as you want, play out whatever you want!

one; hugging. you just want to give your loved one a warm embrace. be it out of happiness, to comfort them while they're down, or just to give them something warm to latch onto, you just want to wrap your arms around them.

two; kissing. whether it's a peck on the cheek or a deep kiss, a kiss good-bye or a romantic kiss, you find yourself compelled to kiss the other person! be as tender or as passionate as you so choose.

three; holding hands. it's a simple gesture, really -- to reach out and take someone's hand. but that one simple gesture can convey any number of sentiments. what the sentiment is, is up to you, but you find yourself reaching out to take your significant other's hand.

four; carrying. is your loved one hurt and needs a lift? do they want a piggyback ride? or do you just want to spare them the effort of walking? whatever the reason, you're now itching to pick up your partner and carry them to their destination.

five; i love you. you've said it before or maybe you haven't but now you have to say it again or for the first time.

six; dancing. kick up the music, because it's time to dance! but no lone dancing allowed -- you need to have a partner! you can do whatever dance strikes your fancy. personally, i recommend the slow dance, but you can do whatever you want!

seven; massaging. did your significant other have a rough day? did they get hurt? or do you just feel like doing something really nice for them? whatever it is, you're giving them a nice massage now. they'll feel wonderful in no time!

eight; flirting. the easiest way to break the ice or maybe you're just an overly flirty person.

nine; cuddling. sometimes there's just no better feeling than curling up next to each other on a warm sofa. hold each other, lie next to each other, fall asleep on each other -- it's all good here.

ten; wild card! reroll, pick an option, or come up with something else!

[This is not how Emi expected her day to go, at all. It was supposed to be ... just a regular day, not one in which an invisible force pushed her down a flight of stairs - of course, no one would believe her, anyway, they'd just chalk it up to her being clumsy. She wasn't even wearing heels today! And while it's nice to not have to walk on a badly twisted ankle, her fear of heights is coming out in full force.]

Oh, God, I think I have vertigo. Why do you have to be so tall?

[ Sam could easily chalk it up to just being in the right place at the right time, but truth be told, that was rarely how it turned out. He was on a hunt and this girl just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. At least that's all he could discern immediately. Having a few mischievous spirits causing trouble for the living wasn't unheard of and he was hoping that's all it would turn out to be. (Luck was rarely on his side, though.)

He pauses slightly at her comment before shifting her weight with a shrug of his shoulders. That's a first. ]

It could be a lot worse.

[ His height or her condition? He's thinking the latter, but it's up to her to decide which. ]

We just need to get your ankle looked at. Did you say you tripped?

[Emi believes firmly, without a doubt, in the latter of the two options. Obviously she was at the wrong place at the wrong time, although whatever it had been that had pushed her probably thought the exact opposite. And probably enjoyed watching her tumble head over feet down the steep staircase. She's lucky that she hadn't hurt herself any worse.

She's lucky that no bones are broken. Although the pain that radiates from her ankle all over her body has her on edge, as evidenced by the way she hadn't thought at all about what she had said before she said it.

The guy was helping her, after all, she should try to be nicer.]

Could've broken my neck. Could throw up, too, but I'll be sure to warn you if I get that feeling.

[She pauses then. Should she say yes to that, or tell the truth and risk him thinking that she was crazy? Well, did it really matter, anyway? He was a stranger, after all.]

I probably just need it wrapped, and some ice, or something. Um ... no. No, I didn't trip. Something pushed me.

[ She was lucky no bones were broken. People die falling down stairs, so a probably ankle sprain and a few bruises was practically getting off scot free. So to speak. Sam wouldn't just leave her there regardless. Various specters would use humans as a means of distraction, but he wouldn't risk further injury to someone he figured was just an innocent bystander.

He gave a breathy laugh. ]

Yeah, thanks. That'd be nice.

[ No vomit down the back of his neck, thank you.

Sam was honestly surprised by her candor. Most people would think up of anything before admitting something they couldn't see was involved. He was quiet for a moment, not pausing in his pursuit of medical attention, but pensive. ]

You said something, not someone.

[Emi knows exactly how lucky that she is. Yeah, the tumble head over feet had left her shaken, bruised, scraped and battered, and she would most likely wake up covered in black and blue, but it could have been so much worse. A broken nose, or arm or legs - that should have been the least of her injuries. This was almost a damn miracle.

Thank goodness for Sam's help, at this point, she knows that she couldn't walk anywhere even if she tried. And she's not entirely sure of what happened to her phone, or where it's gone.

Ah, well.]

Don't ever say that I never did anything for you.

[It's more a grimace than it is anything else, but at least it resembles a smile. Call her crazy, but if there's anything that she's not it's a liar. She didn't trip - she's got years of experience in heels, and she's not even wearing them today. There was nothing for her to trip over. She knows that without a shadow of a doubt, something tripped her.]

I didn't see it, but I felt it there. I know that probably makes me sound insane, but it's true.

[ He gave an airy snort, shaking his head. At least her sense of humor remained unharmed, as it seemed. But there were only so many ways one could deal with experiences with the supernatural, and all things considered, she was already relatively well adjusted.

They were drawing closer to the infirmary where he figured she would be less forthcoming with information when there were other people around. (At least most people tended to be.) He slowed his pace down just a tad. ]

You'd be surprised how often I hear that, actually. [ Such is the life of a Winchester! ] So, no, you're not insane. Has this happened before?

[If there's one thing that Emi's learned, it's to always look on the bright side of life. And, truth be told, things could definitely be worse right now. Besides, the more she concentrates on other things, the less she concentrates on the pain that is currently radiating from the tips of her toes to the top of her head. If she allowed herself the time to think about what the implication of this whole thing was, she'd probably freak out a bit more.

It's not that Emi wouldn't continue to speak about what happened to her - after all, Sam is nice enough to ask, but the nurses and whatever other students were inside might treat her as though she was crazy. She's grateful that Sam isn't.]

What ... weird things follow you around, or you follow them around? [That probably sounded ... weird, and she sighs, shaking her head.] This? No ... but I've recently been having the feeling that someone's been watching me.

[ Ah, that wasn't really a question he liked, if only because it hit so close to home. Of course she wouldn't understand the implications, or his own beliefs that his family was cursed, but it was enough to get a moment of tense silence from him. But he did his best to wave it off, giving a breathy laugh and a shake of his head. ]

Maybe a little of A, a little of B. [ Such is his life. He was used to it, at least.

Taking the steps carefully into another building, he asked in turn, ]

Just around campus?

[As quickly as it passes, that little moment of silence has Emi wondering if she's asked the wrong question. It certainly wouldn't be the first time she's stuck her foot squarely in her mouth, and it probably wouldn't be the last time, either. But it passes almost as quickly as it came on, and she relaxes further - well, as much as she could, given the situation.]

Study or hobby? 'Cause I think I'd remember seeing you around campus, and I never have before. [She pauses, realizing just how that sounded, and offered a sheepish shrug.] Well. When my mind isn't filled with numbers, that is.

Yeah. The library mostly - but then, it is a pretty spooky place to begin with. Recently, though, when I'm walking back to my apartment, I can feel it then, too.

Sorry for the delay. I'm sick, and spent much of the day sleeping. :0/

No worries, I backtag into forever. Hope you're feeling better!

Oh, good, me too! Got that whole coughing my lungs out deal, but much better, thank you.

Ew, that's no fun ): There's definitely been something going around here too

The worst thing is, I just got over this same thing in December.

Oh boo, that's no fun.

I think I must boost my immune system, seriously.
