❄ 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.]

Ooh, she's fast.

[ mizuki is just watching all this occur with a wine glass in one hand, like a rich lady at a horse race. ]

Go get 'em, Beauregard-san!

[disreguarded]

[ NYOOMS PAST

and then comes back like a minute later holding a squirming elf by the foot. ]

I think it's trying to bite me. [ beau. ] Knock it the fuck off, I'll bite you back.

[digestif]

Wow.

[ this is a little freaky. Mizuki looks at the elf and then at Beau, an eyebrow raised in slight alarm. ]

That's a little rough, don't you think? Now I feel bad for him.

[disreguarded]

Do you think they're like... people? [ BEAU ]

Looks more like a construct. Like a golem. [ sniff. she... puts the elf down. it kicks her in the shin and runs away. ]

Ow! Fuck!

[digestif]

Like a robot? I guess that's possible, but it's quite convincing.

[ one gets the sense they're about to continue, but then the elf kicks her in the shin and flees, and Mizuki can't muffle a laugh. ]

Pfft -- sorry, sorry, just...

[disreguarded]

No, I probably deserved that. [ she says, huffily. ] Little bastard.

How've you been?

[digestif]

[ i forgot to mention this but mizuki is wearing a horrendous tacky christmas suit. this is why they get along with majima. ]

Mmm, well, going to Goro-kun's world meant traveling back almost 150 years in time for me, so there are a lot of things to get used to, but it's been nice. It's sort of refreshing to get away from technology. [ sort of. ] But the place you're from is more of a magic-based world, no?
