Decorating (Kris/Open)

[Piper Wren]

Piper had been put in charge of putting up some of the traditional christmas decorations in the fun house pub, sure it sounded like an easy job but when she realised how big the box was...well it wasn't something she could do on her own so she called in Kristopher's assistance. She liked the company as well while spending hours untangling long snakes of tinsel from the box they had been shoved in. Currently she was up a ladder with half of the tinsel wound around her waist to keep from tangling anywhere near her feet.

Falling off a ladder was not something she needed.

"Hold it steady, Kris!"

She wound another long strand of tinsel into place along the wall, at least she wasn't looking quite so much like a christmas tree as she had done when they had started...The young woman was looking forward to getting off this ladder really, they still had the tree to do after finishing up here. Oops...

Dropped a star.

"Look out below!"

Piper warned Kristopher, craning over her shoulder to check it had hopefully missed him! This job was seriously a lot harder than she had thought it was going to be, even with Kristopher's help at hand!

[Kristopher Roberts]

Kristopher chuckled as he looked up at Piper with amusement on his face. She looked just like a christmas tree with all that tinsel about her and the decorations they where putting up. It was true that Kris never really had much of a christmas while growing up, but he did like to look at the decorations and lights outside that his neighbors had.

"Hold it steady, Kris!"

"I Am." He assured the girl as he leaned partly on the ladder as he held it, still looking up at her. "Aren't you almost done up there?" He chuckled, "Or do I need to finish it all up, mon cher?" Ah yes, let us not forget that Kristopher was finally, finally picking up on the french languge. It was bits and pieces but after dating a frenchman for a while you start to pick up on things. Even if it was slow.

"Look out below!"

"Yikes!" He called out and caught the star, somehow by the grace of god. It hurt his hand a bit, but he was not injured at all by it. "Gee, you need to be a bit careful there." He chuckled nervously as he sat the star off to the side carefully. He had to wonder for a moment, if he was going to survive this ordeal.

"Ella va me tuer..." He mutterd under his breath softly. How many of these things did she drop in the past hour? He lost count after ten.

[Piper Wren]

"Yikes! Gee, you need to be a bit careful there."

Piper smiled awkwardly and rubbbed the back of her neck with the free hand that wasn't holding up tinsel, ok she had dropped quite a few things but being up a ladder and holding onto all of this wasn't exactly what you might call easy! At least this will be all of the wall decorations done soon and the doorframe for the pub's entrance. She unwound it off her waist, glad to not be looking so much like a Christmas tree anymore as she draped it across, looking down at Kristopher as she did so.

"I'm trying 'Mon Cher' but keeping my balance and holding all this stuff up isn't easy!"

Since she was busy talking to Kristopher, Piper didn't notice that a certain something had been tangled up in the tinsel and was now hanging rather well above the doorframe under the ladder.

"There, that's done, just got the tree to do now."

The young woman started climbing carefully down the ladder steps, glad to be setting her feet back onto solid floor rather than that flamin' ladder. Piper turned around to face Kristopher and smiled.

"Looking good so far."

[Kristopher Roberts]

"I'm trying 'Mon Cher' but keeping my balance and holding all this stuff up isn't easy!"

Kris only laughed at that but still helped the poor girl with things and keeping the ladder still. He started to hum a few songs off the top of his head as they did their work. He watched her carefully for a moment before his golden brow started to raise slowly.

What was tha thing moving above them?

"There, that's done, just got the tree to do now."

He stared up as she moved down the ladder and then tilted his head as he suddenly realised what it was. A sly smirk appeared on his face much like a cat with a new toy. So, someone stuck mistole around here. How amusing.

He looked down at the woman as she faced him. "Looking good so far."

"Indeed it is." He then placed his hands on her shoulders. Well, seeing as mistole was above, it was best to follow the old rules. Leaning down, he pressed his lips against hers, in a slow soft kiss. And then, pulled away with a chuckle.

This would be amusing. Granted, Kris would never cheat on Augusta and he wasn't even now. He was just following the christmas rules.

[Piper Wren]

"Indeed it is."

Piper's eyes widened as Kristopher leaned down and kissed her on the lips, since she hadn't seen the mistletoe hanging above it was completely out of the blue for her. She stepped abruptly back with two fingers resting on her lips, giving Kris a very obvious 'What in blazes?!' look. That was entirely unexpected and produced a faint sick feeling in her stomach, that was the first time she had been kissed since....since then.

"Kris...what on earth?"

She stepped abruptly back and banged her leg on the ladder, ouch! Buggeration! Knocking the ladder also knocked the mistletoe from where it was tangled in the tinsel and it fell down onto Piper's head. She picked it out of her hair and held it up in front of her face...ah, so that's what it was about...but where the hell had that thing come from in the first place? Piper hadn't hung any mistletoe up, only the tinsel that had been in the box!

"Ah..."

NOW she got it...and the after effects made her skin flush pink at the cheeks.

[Kristopher Roberts]

"Kris...what on earth?"

Kristopher couldn't help but full out laugh at little Piper. He smiled largely and pointed to the mistletoe that she had promptly knocked onto her head with her klutzy actions. Oh, he loved this, granted Augusta might not of liked it too much. But it was simply a harmless kiss and nothing more.

"My." said Kristopher with true amusement sounding off in his voice as he stepped towards her and gently took the little green thing from her hands. "That was some reaction for just a little harmless kiss." He smiled sweelty at her then, "Nothing to worry about."

He laughed again, then dangled the little green thing infront of her face and shook it lightly. "Think I might play a pretty little game with this though the next time I see Augusta, but until then..."

He teased her lovingly by shaking it just slightly over her head for fun, "Wanna another?" Oh, Kristopher Allen Roberts, he sure could have fun when he wanted too. But all and all, he was simply teasing her and that cute little blush on her face just made him all giggly inside.

"You do sport a rather attractive blush, I would like to keep it there too."

[Piper Wren]

"My. That was some reaction for just a little harmless kiss. Nothing to worry about."

Could Kristopher really blame her? The last time someone had kissed her it had been forced, hard and rough. The thought made her gag as she remembered the taste of cigarettes and stale whiskey with a slight shudder. The blonde seemed genuinely amused by her almost hitting the ceiling over it. Ah well, the joke was over and could probably laugh about it with Kristopher at a later date...

Wait...what was he doing?

Wanna another? You do sport a rather attractive blush, I would like to keep it there too."

Piper's pink cheeks flushed darker and stood out as if she were wearing too much make up on her normally very pale face, her eyes widened as Kristopher waved the mistletoe in front of her. What had he been drinking before they came here?! Had he been at the mulled wine she had been brewing in the kitchen?

"Kris!"

[Serenity/Charoa Avarie]

Unbeknownst to the humans, there was a boogie currently advancing on their position. Luckily for them though, this one had something quite a bit more festive than torture in mind. It was Serenity in a little santa outfit she'd had stored away. At the moment she was making her way down to the funhouse, having heard from a group of children that there were decorations to be had. She fancied her self as quite the festive decorator, and so she'd volunteered to go to the aid of these amateurs.

As she stepped through the door, she was met with a rather peculiar sight. Before her was a small blond boy (granted he was taller than her but still) waving a little green thing around in front of what appeared to be a girl. It took her a few moments, but she soon recognized the girl to be none other than Piper, a human she'd met not too long ago. Her face flushed a bit red as she remembered the encounter, it hadn't been altogether pleasant. She dearly hoped the girl didn't recall it as well, or else she'd only be more embarrassed.

But just as she was about to turn and leave, she realized what the green thing the boy was waving was, mistletoe. She giggled softly to herself, remembering some of the antics she'd gotten up to in past years when the stuff was around. This year though, she was hoping Zeke would find her under a bit of it. That would be better than any material present by far. Smiling softly to herself she walked forwards, stopping once she was beside the two of them. Standing on her tiptoes she leaned up and gave Piper a small peck on the cheek, giggling once more after doing so. She turned towards Kris and considered kissing him as well, but then decided not to, Zeke was the only one for her.

It was at that point that Charoa gave her a swift kick in her mental ass, and her mind blanked a bit. Unknowingly she placed her hands on Kris' shoulders, leaning in and giving him a deep kiss, tongue and all. It wasn't until the kiss was over that she realized what she'd done, face quickly glowing a bright shade of red as she put her hands over her mouth. "I'm sorry..." She was scared they'd get mad at her, or even worse, that Zeke would. After just finding that she was in love with him, she didn't know what she'd do if she lost him. I really hope he doesn't get mad at me...

[Kristopher Roberts]

Kristopher only laughed at Piper. It was cute really, so amusing. Although he did not know what to say when a boogie came into the room...dressed....dressed. Well, dressed like that! He merely stared at her in shock and surprise. What the crap was a boogie doing here? AND WHY IN A SANTA OUTFIT LIKE THAT!

Kris felt like he was about to have a heart attack. He didn't move an inch and all humor left him due to the shock.

So when she suddenly touched him and pulled him into one hell of a kiss, did he wake up. He blinked a few times and then realized that he was feeling thing that should not be in his mouth. With a surprised cry (gee, I wonder why?) he pulled away from her and stumbled backwards.

"AHHH!! Wha? WHA?" Was all he could say with large eyes and a mouth hanging wide open. Possibly, hitting the floor.
