❄ 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.]

Yes, your physique is quite large.

[This man looks like he would be fun to spar and Chiron appreciates that]

I still suggest something a little more comfortable than behind a chair, however.

[daifukus]

[ what if they just sneaked out to spar like the jocks they pretend they aren't ]

Haha, I suppose so. It seemed convenient at the time.

[antaressnipe]

[Chiron would love that, I'm crying]

I take it this is hardly your first time being forcibly taken to another realm, then.

[THERE SEEMS TO BE A PATTERN HERE]

[daifukus]

[ their weapons can kiss instead of them ]

This would be the third.

[ he sounds. so tired. please let the spear rest ]

[antaressnipe]

[The accuracy]

... That does make you an unfortunate expert in such things, then.

[Chiron is so sorry, sir.]

No wonder you tried to flee.

[daifukus]

The thought of doing this over for the third time is quite an exhausting thought. It was certainly enough for the first two.

[ he looks around though because seeing the familiar faces does make him happy. ]

Though, if this seems to be just a gathering for the sake of it, then I am at least glad to see those I recognize again.

[antaressnipe]

Yes, I do see a mixture of old and new faces... and they are more or less enjoying themselves.

[A hum]

It is still a bit early to tell, but perhaps it might be possible to treat this as a night's getaway. My own abilities are still intact, after all.

[daifukus]

Mm, it certainly was a relief to at least have that reassurance.

[ god, does he even have his spear with him? has it been weapon checked in the legit dragon hoard of everyone's? we just donut know. ]

I suppose it won't hurt to enjoy everyone's company for now.

[antaressnipe]

Indeed. You should try their eggnog with me -- I've never had anything quite like it.

[Come, fellow bara and drink with him (Chiron you only have bara arms).]

[daifukus]

[ marie did you mean bare ]

Eggnog? I don't believe I've tried such a thing before...
