cursed

(no subject)

[Gwen's been busy all morning. Right now, she's out shopping for essentials. You know... milk, bread.... ammo. All the necessities. She's been careful to pluck any sprigs of mistletoe she's come across, but she can't catch them all, now can she?]

[ooc: Feel free to find her out and about! Enjoy!]

[ all it really takes is the one sprig to cause hideousness. and coincidentally right in the shop selling the ammunition, because of course that's what natasha is venturing out to buy.

one minute she's reaching around gwen for a box of remingtons, and the next she's got an arm around gwen's waist and leaning in to plant a kiss on her. welp. ]

[And don't think Gwen's not leaning in to meet the kiss, because she sure as hell is. There's not even a surprised pause before her free hand moves to settle on Natasha's hip to pull her closer.]

[ well then.

eventually, natasha pulls back, removes her hand from gwen's hair (how did that even get there) and straightens her coat. this curse is really derailing her life.

also hello stranger she's never spoken to before. ]

Ahem.

[Gwen's a bit flushed when she pulls back. Clearing her throat, she glances off to the side before she manages a soft chuckle.]

... brilliant greeting and all, but... should I even ask what brought that on?

[ natasha points upwards. ]

Mistletoe.

[ this has been her whole day, gwen. her whole day. ]

It's today's curse, I suppose.

[She spares a quick glance up before sighing.]

Damned City playing games again. Lovely.

Sorry about that.

Don't apologize. It's hardly the worst thing to happen to me today.

[ her tone is sincere. really, the amount of people she's accidentally lip-locked with... ]

[Out shopping? That makes you a ~~victim~~ target. Don't mind the arm around your shoulders. Jack's having juuust a bit too much fun with curse.]

Gwen Cooper, it's wonderful to see your lovely face.

[It's a good thing she knows who that arm belongs to. Chuckling, she glances up at Jack, even reaching up to pat his hand.]

Fancy meeting you out and about. Been behaving?

Of course! When have I not behaved?

[A wink.]

So, where you headed?

Do you really want me to answer that?

[With another soft laugh, she shifts her hand to indicate the bags she's carrying.]

Had to get some shopping done. Groceries and the like. You?

I'm just enjoying the fresh air and all this mistletoe hanging around.

[He gestures to some hanging nearby and smirks.]

You're not out for the 'fresh air' and you bloody well know that, Jack. Should I even ask how many people you've kissed today?

[Smirking, she reaches up to pluck at a nearby sprig of the greenery.]

[He makes a motion like counting on his fingers, the smile not leaving his face.]

Close to fourteen, I'd say.

[Some not so idle fingers move to poke him in his side.]

Is that all? I was expecting more out of you.

[ Holy crap, that's an ammo store. Which means Bucky's here. Which does mean he's going to run into Gwen, and oh, would you look at that, there's some mistletoe.

It's some introduction, Bucky's hand on the shelf holding the bullets, leaning in to catch Gwen's mouth. Of all the dangerous places to pucker up. ]

[ And of all the dangerous women to be kissing. Of course, it helps that she's just as affected as he is, so she leans up to meet the kiss with an eager murmur.]

[ That hand not holding on to the shelf curves around her waist, pressing in with a slight lift to his lips, smiling into it. ]

[There's the softest of noises from Gwen before she carefully pulls back, blinking.]

... well. First time for everything.

[ Bucky’s laugh is startled, picking up a pack of bullet casings behind her and shaking it. ] Well, it could’a been worse, I got a kiss from a hot dame like you and found a place where they sell bullets. Ain’t lyin’, made my day.

[While part of Gwen is internally bitching at being called a 'dame', she can't help but chuckle as she steps back a bit more.]

Honestly, I appreciate it just as much.

I'm Bucky. [ Holding out his hand with a grin. ] Nice t'meet you.

[Have a quick handshake, Bucky. Gwen's got a good grip, too~]

Gwen Cooper. It's a pleasure to meet you, even if it's under... odd circumstances.

Better'n most meetings I've ever had.

[ They probably pass in the grocery store, Donna's picking up something to ~~burn~~ cook for later. A smile and a wave! ]

Gwen, yeah? Don't think we've met in person!

=[Have a happy wave back as she walks closer.]

In the flesh. Donna, right? Thought I recognized that voice.

That's right! How've you been?

[ Donna shoves her cart off to the side to greet Gwen properly. Unfortunately her plan is derailed by the influence of the mistletoe she's stepped under. Instead of simply standing closer to talk, Donna leans in place a peck on Gwen's lips. ]

Busy, but good-

[Of course, the rest of her comment is cut off by the quick kiss.]

[Rose is out picking up essentials as well, if jammie dodgers and tea can be considered essential. She catches sight of the lady that doesn't like the Doctor and smiles a bit at her.]

Hullo.

[She recognizes the voice quickly, and gives her a warm smile back.]

'llo. Out and about today, hm?

Had to get a coupla things. [She holds up the package of Jammie Dodgers and tea.] You? [She might be inching closer, not having seen the mistle toe over Gwen's head.]

Same, pretty much. The usual.

[She doesn't even seem too bothered by Rose moving closer.]

[Rose puts a hand on Gwen's shoulder and leans int kiss her.]

You're taking them down?

[ He's been watching her for a few moments -- a tall man with large ears and a rather amused smile. ] Isn't that ruinin' everyone's fun?

Not so much. Damned things keep growing back. I couldn't tell you how many times I've been kissed today.

I'd be checkin' to make sure they're not just making an excuse, if I were you. [ Smiles. ] 'S Gwen, right?

They best not be, or else.

[There's a smile in return.]

Got it in one. I'm betting you're the Doctor... not the spiky haired one, as I can see.

That's right. Still here, as you can see. [ He ducks his head a little disparagingly. ] Thought I'd have a wander and see what there's to see.

Not so much to see, unless you enjoy watching random strangers kissing each other senseless.

Has its appeal, I suppose. [ So remember how you were taking down mistletoe, Gwen? You missed one, which means you're getting a kiss from the Doctor. Believe me, he's as surprised as you are. ]

[He's kissing her before she can comment again, but when she kisses him back, it's with enthusiasm.]

Now I see why that could get distractin'. [ But he laughs. ]
