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

[Like, your boss? Your ghost king????
He is good and doesn't look up to scan the room just yet, but if canvasing was Yin Yu's goal, he imagines this king might not even be in the room.]
...Should I ask what your lord's doing here, or should I brace for some bad news about all our lives again?
no subject
[ a beat. ] I'm not sure what he's doing here, either, but he experienced a place similar to what we did, so I can assume that is the commonality.
You can talk to him, if you'd like. It's... been quite interesting to watch him interact with the others. [ he's never
seen hua cheng talk to other people and enjoy himself like this before??? wild that chengzhu has friends???? ]
no subject
[he is SO TIRED OF THIS
He'll look up toward the very, very tall fellow on the other side of the room, just a slight nod to indicate he sees who he's talking about. Looks like he's having a private moment, so he'll just file that for later.]
I'll see if our paths cross tonight. I'm more worried about seeing what exactly is around here for now. If third time really is the charm, then I assume we're going to be in for another rude surprise in a little while, here.
Until then, though, I guess there's not much to do but see who exactly we'll be dealing with, right?
no subject
[ .... ]
At least we aren't on a bus, this time.
no subject
Yeah, well, considering I can see our bus sulking over in the other room, I think we can give them a pass this time.
[Everyone from CR!AU is suffering right now.
He'll cock his head to the side for a moment.]
You up for a walk around the grounds, then? I get to catch up, you get to pull some things together for your lord, no odd people approaching you out in the open with Flayn having to stare them down.
Sound alright to you?
no subject
...once that's assured (he's watching you edie), he agrees. ] ...I think that sounds just fine. We have some catching up to do, too.
Lead the way.
no subject
Have you been keeping in touch with the others, or has Chengzu been keeping you pretty on the wire since you've been back?
I didn't get any panicked messages from Flayn or anything, so I assumed you were still out there somewhere. But you've been quiet. I was a little worried.
no subject
awkward ]
...Ah. I was... um, indisposed, for a while.
no subject
[YOU'VE LIVED FOR A BILLION YEARS AND YOU WORK FOR A GHOST CITY PLANNER FLIRT HOW WERE YOU INDISPOSED]
Hey, you can't go saying something like that without a little backdrop. Everything alright back home?
no subject
....well, I was dead, so...
no subject
HELLO??????????????
HE DOESN'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING JUST THIS FACE?????]
no subject
he shrinks a little. ] ...It's fine, now, there's nothing to worry about... Chengzhu was able to put the pieces of my soul back together after some time - Flayn helped.
no subject
Ah, but he notices that little retreat. He blinks, blue eyes going soft and apologetic as he reached to put a hand against Yin Yu's shoulder.]
...Lead with that next time, maybe? [/INWARDLY WHEEZING.........] No wonder Flayn hadn't said anything. Sounds like her to be hands on with that sort of thing.
I'm just relieved you're still with us. You're sure you're alright?
no subject
...It's not the first time. [ haha. the dark humor. ] And, it was a little while ago, now, so. I came back and returned to work - nothing really changed.
[ which is exactly what he wanted tbh. ] I'll tell you the story if you like, though it's not a particularly festive or joyful one....
