❄ 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.]

Oh! It's a holiday on Earth!

Everybody decorates their houses really pretty for the whole last month of the year, during the winter! Pine trees, too. People will sing lots of songs and spend a lot of time with their families, and you wrap presents up as a surprise for people you care about, and on the twenty-fifth day, you exchange those and get to open them up and show appreciation for everybody!

Ah... it sounds a bit like the New Year for us, then.

[ cute... what a lovely tradition. he touches his heart. ] Do you celebrate it, Miss Hikaru?

[heartablaze]

Yeah, a little bit! My family is kind of, um... traditional? Christmas didn't start in Japan or anything, and it's still kind of new. So it's mostly just my brothers and I that do things for fun. I'll do things with my classmates, too, sometimes.

[sometimes the west just comes in with books and boats and guns and some weird new ideas]

I really just like how everything looks and how happy everyone is when they get to be with each other. I don't need to celebrate it the same way to still love how it makes everybody feel.
