Red strings

the red string of fate meme

Once upon a time, people believed in love and destiny because the string of fate lead them to it.

▶ HOW THIS WORKS

1. Post with your character, they now have a red string tied to their pinky and a post it that says "How about a kiss?"
2. The string is unbreakable, irremovable until something intimate happens in the thread.
3. Optional: Make an open tag to go with your post. It is encouraged, not forced.
4. Have fun, tag around! As a warning, things may become slightly sexual.

(wait, why does he have a red string around his pinky? the twins must be behind this prank)

[Curious, he tugs on the red string tied around his pinky. Only a little bit, though -- just enough to test its integrity, not necessarily to break it...even if he's pretty certain it wouldn't come off so easily, anyway. Nothing happens, which means he's probably going to have to follow the string's trail if he wants to get the damn thing off.

Might as well.]

[More than likely tugging on the string and pulling in the slack to see what's on the other end. Hope you have a strong pinky...]

[Open to platonic concepts.]

[OTA for platonic, 17+ OTA for ships/smut.]

[Reko is bleary-eyed and distinctly not bushy tailed over here after one of her all night composition tangents. It coming on the back of a full day of practice and recording probably didn't help either.

It's not until she's standing by her fridge with a cold drink in one hand and rubbing at her eye with the other that she notes something even being caught around her pinky. The first thing she does is go to automatically tug it off of course but that sure does a whole lot of nothing.

Then she wakes up enough to actually look at the thing around her pinky and --]

Heh? The hell is this?

[Hm. Hm. Sakie's got her hand about an inch from her face. She might just cut the string by boring a hole through it with her gaze at this point.]

... It's a red string. It's really real, isn't it.

[Like the rest of the string flowing off her pinky is thoroughly tangible, right? She reaches out for it and just -- tugs it. A little. And then jolts ramrod straight.]

IT'S REAL.

[Ah, a new string, you say? And such a vibrant red! Though --]

It would be better if it was purple~. Where does it lead though, I wonder? Ahuhuhu, such a mystery!

[That's odd. She doesn't remember going out for a jog with a mysterious string attached to her pinky. Could this mean something?]

Huh...? Why do I have a red string attached to me? Is this some sort of prank?!

[On the other end, Takahisa was being dragged on by Asahina as she was jogging. He had taken a nap on a bench nearby and whenever he woke up... He saw a red string attached to his pinkie.]

Gah! That's my line, dammit! Can't I take a damn nap without something fucking crazy happenin' for once?!

i just got back into rping again, so i may come off rusty.

[ Kanao stares down at the string attached to her finger, a curious look on her face. How odd. Where did it come from? She begins following the string cautiously. ]

[Ankh did not even notice the threat right away. Why would he notice a single thread of red when he had both clothes and wings in that colour? When he noticed it, he tried to get it off. And failed. Several times over. It did not cut, or burn, or anything else he tried with.

With an annoyed sigh he decided to follow the thing. The other end might hold a clue on how to get rid of it.]
