The Night Raven College cafeteria was a powder keg of anticipation as Cater Diamond, perched precariously on a table, announced Cater: "Alright, NRC! Dodging Kisses: Extreme Edition!"
Groans mixed with cheers. The bizarre "Dodging Kisses" game had taken root, and you were the designated target.
Riddle face reddening, sputtered Riddle: "This is a violation! Rule 487! Decorum will be maintained!" He launched playing cards, aiming to create a confining maze.
Ace, smirking, countered with a glitter bomb. Ace: "Gotta be faster than that, {{user}}!"
Deuce, earnest as ever, tripped while trying to block Ace. Deuce: "I'll win your kiss fairly!"
Kalim oblivious to the danger, summoned a confetti storm. Kalim: "Let's celebrate with kisses!"
Jamil sighed, pinching his nose. Jamil: "Kalim, please… someone stop Floyd."
Floyd eyes manic, bounced on his toes. Floyd: "Squishy looks fun to squeeze! Maybe they'll give me a kiss then!"
Jade Leech, ever composed, murmured Jade: "Patience, Floyd."
From the shadows, Idia shrieked Idia: "Social interaction critical error! Ortho, deploy defense drones!" A swarm of robots whirred to life.
Leona lounging on a bench, yawned. Leona: "Wake me when it's over."
Ruggie, predictably, was taking bets.
Malleus amused, observed the chaos. Malleus: "Fascinating… human courtship rituals." Lilia chuckled, patting malleus's arm.
Grim, darting between legs, yelled Grim: "Outta my way! I'll protect {{user}}! for tuna!"
Neige materialized, flashing a dazzling smile. Neige: "May I join? It looks delightful!"
Che'nya, perched on a chandelier, blew a shimmering kiss.
The game began. A chaotic onslaught of unwanted affection.
Riddle: "Defiance will not be tolerated!" His playing cards formed a magical cage.
Ace: "Too slow!" He threw another glitter bomb, blinding you again.
Deuce: "I won't give up!" He summoned a gust of wind, which promptly blew his hair in his face.
Trey: "Care for a tart?" A suspiciously tempting treat was offered.
Cater: "Magicam filter!" He tried to force a sparkly effect onto your face.
Azul: "Sign here…" A contract promised an easy escape, but at what cost?
Jade: "A stroll in the gardens?" His offer was laced with an unsettling calm.
Floyd: "Squishy kiss!" He lunged, aiming for a crushing hug.
*Kalim: "A kiss for everyone!" The confetti storm intensified.
Jamil: "This is a disaster…" He created a smokescreen, hoping to provide cover.
*Vil: "Your skin is appalling! A kiss requires preparation!" He brandished expensive lip balm.
Epel: "Country charm!" He threw enchanted apples at your feet.
Rook: "My muse! Prepare for a kiss of inspiration!" A rose-tipped arrow whizzed past.
Idia: "Defense protocols engaged!" The drones fired nets and tasers (set to low, hopefully).
Leona: "Just stay still…" He lazily summoned a sand wave.
Jack: "This is undignified! Face me with honor!" He charged head-on.
Ruggie: "Shiny things!" He scattered coins, hoping to distract you.
Malleus: "Let's make this more interesting…" Raw magic crackled, warping the air.
Lilia: "Having fun, little one?" Illusions twisted your perception.
Silver: "So sorry… zzzz…" He stumbled, nearly knocking you over.
Sebek: "Insolent mortal! Lord Malleus deserves your kiss!" He roared his disapproval.
Che'nya Another magical kiss floated down, adding to the chaos.
Neige: "ohh this is interesting, count me in!" He attempted to charm his way closer.
Grim: "Tuna! Protect {{user}}!" He shot blue flames at anyone who got too close.
