❄ I just wanna keep on waiting underneath the mistletoe ... [sisi voice] A Jingle Mingle

[alittlefuninstead]

Wherever you are, whoever you are, you'll likely find yourself blinking one moment and teleporting in a flurry of snowflakes the next. Luckily for you, there's no murder this time! (Probably.)

Rather, you'll hear Christmas carols aplenty as you approach a winter castle, snow lightly falling and various paths leading to gardens filled with still-blooming flowers (how.) and lit topiary displays.

Upon entering the castle, you'll find it's brightly lit and decorated...welcome to the party! Frost lightly dusts the walls and some nearby surfaces and guests will find there are halls and floors aplenty to explore. There are rooms filled with plush chairs and fireplaces for those looking for something cozier, rooms filled with all kinds of games and toys, and naturally there's a large ballroom prime for dancing. Spread through you'll find tables of snacks, full-course meals, drinks, desserts, and even champagne towers. Are you looking for something specific? Simply ask a member of the staff. Watch your step though! Their assistants really are doing their best to help, and the jingling bell may be too faint to hear if you aren't paying attention.

It seems as though you've all been invited to a wonderful holiday party for no reason at all...but there is one thing amiss...or, should I say...amistletoe?

Pinned up on every doorway is a sprig of fresh mistletoe, decorated with bright red bows and dustings of frost. And sure, perhaps it's easy just to avoid the doorways if you want to be a spoilsport. But should you avoid it for too long, it will seem as though the mistletoe is following you, almost as if some asshole is hiding out and purposefully trailing behind to keep it dangling over your head.

Oh. And did I mention you can't leave the castle grounds until you play along? Pucker up.

[ooc: this can be any past murdergame characters y'all, go nuts.

for clarity sake, this includes characters from: reapsody, grimmoired, plasmatio, subdivided, thotordie, bluesclues, tropicalgetaway, notagain, and redactable!

edit: and by popular demand any of you from the above games can also bring your yuggoths and your tikirobos. The Robowests were in CRAU and therefore don't count goodbye.]

[ clementine is here? that's it that's the toplevel ]

[dianxias]

[ comes over and deposits a huge piece of apple pie on a plate in her hands. ]

Miss Clem! You must, must try this! [ hi ]

[reconnective]

[it's fine, because sora's trying to understand how he even got here which means it's with a bit of caution that he approaches.]

Wallflowering again?

[alitaba]

[ I GUESS I GOTTA but here's futaba, sitting on a side table dressed appropriately and ringing a bell? which elf did she steal that off of? ]

Christmas ratings!! Get your Christmas rating!



[ wehehe ]

[applechemist]

Ratings of what...?

[chanteuser]

... A rating?

[exercisms]

Rating?

[End him.]

[blackcoats]

Um...what do these have to do with Christmas?

[ the part of her that's derived from sora is very passionate about crimmas............. ]

[siblingless]

Um... Christmas what now, Futaba-senpai?

[Hi. Hello. Here is someone Futaba might not actually recognize??? The fuck does she mean by ratings.]

[soulus]

[Somewhere in the castle, Rufus turns around when he comes face to face with someone. Whoever it is, he looks past.]

. . . Excuse me.

[He is leaving.]

[bisouled]

Oh, h-- [ there he goes. ] ... I don't even get a hello?

[ why are you like this. she's not stopping him from trying to leave, because she knows he's not going to be able to... good luck, jerkwad. ]

[misstrust]

... You're excused?

[ She tilts her head. ]

i'm dead and i can't promise tags but maybe

[compendiem]

[ Minato is here, quietly approaching people, looking somewhat lost and forlorn. ]

Have you seen a clown...?

[specialdog]

[ sighs deeply ooc, but akane is fine with this. ]

Looking for Hisoka?

[selfservinglove]

Hmmm?

[This young man with these incredibly dead black eyes just taps his chin.]

A clown? I'm looking for one, too...

[forefall]

[ no one is nerfed here, and i know you'll allow this

so

At his question and with that expression to accompany it, Four's normally demure and proper demeanor breaks and she

kicks him

hard enough to send him flying

and make his bones break, if you want. ]

[wildc4rd]

[If Minato tries to taste anything from the food table, it gets snatched right out of his fingers.

Hisoka is--above? He's sitting? way up in the air? It looks like he's floating, but Illumi is probably the only one who would be able to see the Bungee Gum holding him up.]

A lost, wandering little lamb. ♠️

[autocatalysis]

[ oh hell no. julius shows up, takes one look at all this, then immediately does... something, making a neat little void portal of 'fuck this shit i'm out' that he proceeds to yeet himself into. anyway he bounces right off of it because i, personally, think it's funny, and because no one can leave without paying the kissing tax. that's it, that's the top level. ]

[specialdog]

[ she laughs ]

Looks like it's not that easy. ♪

[yaaaasss]

[i'm like three drinks deep so i feel like i can probably write polly tags without getting embarrassed, let's fucking go

which is to say, there's a ghost here! she's hanging out near the alcohol, which she can apparently drink despite being dead? even though she can't eat food and has to just take food pics because she's dead? fuck if i know, man, monster prom is wild.

anyway, she's stoked.]

Aww, hell yeah! I haven't seen this much free booze since they spiked the punch at prom!

[guilloqueen]

Oh my—you're so very lively, ma cherie!

[ a pause, before she starts fretting ]

Ah, I'm sorry, was it insensitive of me to say something like that?

[uncleanse]

[ i honestly thought i tagged with him before but w/e i'm harassing you x2

hewwo polly have this asshole, champagne flute in one hand as he extends his other arm for a friendly (?) hug. ]

Haha... it's been far too long, Polly-boo. I see you're as spirited as ever.

[deadened]

[well! for those who weren't in his games, it might be a little alarming to see a zombie lurking around the edges of any given room? he's doing his best to stay out of others' way, lingering on the edges of the party.

it isn't easy for him to smile without it looking strange, but he still seems somehow content as long as he gets to just observe other people enjoying everything. nobody is dying yet, it's fine.]

[guilloqueen]

Wen Ning!

[ comes a very happy, very excitable voice! likely before wn even has time to turn his head, marie has already bounded up to him, taking both his hands in her own. ]

Come, come, join the festivities!

[schismanic]

[ wherever you are, there is a giant butterfly hanging around, floating over your shoulder now. personal space what personal space, she's the great spirit of dimensions, space is what she says it is. ]

Human holidays are so fascinating. I was under the impression that this time of year was meant for giving and receiving gifts.

So, then, what does the mistletoe have to do with the holiday?

[selfservinglove]

I don't really know, personally.

[He says, as deadpan as always as he glances back at Muzet.]

I've heard you have to kiss underneath them, though. Maybe for good luck?
