❄ 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 a teeny bop Claude is he even old enough to be Duke Riegan yet who knows when Claude's grandfather actually dies its fine everything is vague. He's probably wearing some formal suit or something right now don't make me search and link things on my phone I'm begging.)

Well, well, if it isn't Her Excellency looking like a real flower this evening.

[Oh no. How cute is this? Honestly, she's used to running into some pre time-skip lords, but Claude is a new one. And she really has no bad feelings towards Claude at all, so. It's purely just sort of adorable.]

Your flattery could use more practice, I think. I believe I look fairly ridiculous in this get-up.

(He's never had ill feelings towards Edelgard either. It was always in the Alliance's best interest to not really play favorites with the Fodlan's leaders. But well, sometimes one of those leaders declares war against the others and you have to choose which side to take!

Or not choose. Which is what he's been trying to do even if he might have some personal leanings here or there.)

Flattery? I meant every word! (She looks just like a flower! A thorny one, maybe, but a flower all the same. Everyone loves roses, you know?) But really, I'm speaking more of you than the outfit itself. I'm sure you could make anything look good.

(He's! A! Charmer!)

[Uh-huh. She looks like she probably isn't buying it, but at least finds it amusing.]

They clearly mean to test your theory. I feel silly, whereas you look dashing as ever.
