❄ 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.]

It's tradition, typically, to kiss when you find yourself with someone when you're beneath one.

[ SMIIIIILE

guess what he pulls out from behind his back ]

[ oh!

xie lian looks at the mistletoe - and then, he laughs, his cheeks going pink, as he shakes his head. ] San Lang, that's very shameless...

[ there's a pause though. ]

...though, it appears that we're not beneath it.

[ GEGE IS FLIRTING BACK uuuuuuuuuu

Hua Cheng laughs brightly, before he pivots easily on one foot so that he's right in front of Xie Lian, instead of at his side. And then he lifts up the sprig of mistletoe above their heads, eye twinkling. ]

I am very shameless when it comes to you, gege.

[dianxias]

[ gross. xie lian looks up at the mistletoe, and then, furtively, looks around them at this party.

...and whispers - ] ...There are a lot of people around...

[ his face is now very red. spare him. ]

[supremity]

Just one, I promise.

[ look at him he's a puppy


ALSO YOU KISSED IN FRONT OF THIS MANY PEOPLE AT THE FAREWELL? ]

[dianxias]

...

[ there's a pause, and eventually, finally, pink cheeked, xie lian stands up on his tippytoes and...

completely chickens out and kisses hua cheng's cheek instead. everyone is looking he is nervous. ]
