❄ 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.]

Because Chiron immediately smiles and nods his head, an arm folded behind his back]
Yes, they are the reason I'd rather not kiss someone else here, though I do not think they'd mind given the circumstances.
no subject
[she's. smiling. and she is very aware of it so she just hides that smile behind her hand.]
...but, you have more than one? If you do not mind my asking... how does that work? Do you not get jealous of each other...?
no subject
Yes, I have three partners. And no -- at least on my end, I do not get jealous if they spend time amongst each other. I wish for their happiness first and foremost. As long as that is seen to, then I am satisfied.
[Another sip of his drink]
As for how it works... I suppose we simply communicate with each other, and are honest in our feelings and expectations.
no subject
[...impressive indeed! She saw things with fewer people than that crash and burn before. She'll have to pay close attention to what Chiron is saying to learn his secrets!!
...
From the sound of it, his secrets are just the things that make any relationship with any number of people work.]
...I see. I thought that the more people who were involved in such a thing, the more complicated it would be, but perhaps it really is that simple.
no subject
[Chiron is so poly it backhands me everyday]
In my circumstances, I am only... romantically inclined towards one of them, we shall say, but I cherish the other two all the same.
no subject
[That makes a certain amount of sense. She looks thoughtful, and seems to be considering it very carefully!]
It sounds as though it must be rather fulfilling.
no subject
[Though he gives her a casual look of intrigue]
Are your questions born of curiosity, or perhaps...?
no subject
Flayn feels called out.]
Ah - simple curiosity! That is all!
no subject
Oh? My apologies, then. It had only seemed like you were considering the weight of my words because you have perhaps grown fond of more than one person in this particular manner.
[+_+]
no subject
No, no, not at all...! [...] I simply - ah, things are a little... complicated, between my... [.......she doesn't know what to call Yin Yu they have literally never defined the relationship.] ...between him and someone else he knows, and I am forever finding myself getting jealous although I really have no cause to be, and...
[Help.]
no subject
Whether or not you should have cause for jealousy is beside the point. If that is how you feel, ignoring those feelings or endlessly chastising yourself will not help. So instead, trace it back to the source:
Is it that you're jealous that someone you cherish is spending time with someone else? Are you jealous of both of them? Do you know how your current partner feels about not only you, but this third person?
[Flayn I'm so sorry for Chiron's lesson plan]
no subject
Anyway. Flayn is considering this very, very seriously, because when Chiron says it like that, it sounds reasonable? Maybe tracing it back to the source really will help.]
...well... the thing is, I am not uncertain of the way he feels about me. But he has a long and complicated history with the other person... one that spanned centuries even before I met him.
I suppose I am a little jealous that they know each other in a way I do not know either of them... but that is not really either of their faults.
no subject
... Also he hears centuries and... oh no. Oh no honey, are you in love with an immortal? That is a very dangerous game to be playing, but that part isn't his place to comment on, so--]
Do you think with time, your jealousy might be curbed? Envy in and of itself is not a sin in my eyes -- only if you pretend it isn't there and allow it to poison your feelings towards others.
no subject
Perhaps...? I find myself a little less jealous of some aspects as time has gone on and I have gotten to know the other person better... but then more jealous in other ways. It is maddening.
