❄ 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.]

[His head tips back. He stares at the stupid ass mistletoe. And then he looks at her like she still has four heads. WOW. His face turns the color of a tomato.

And then he looks carefully around them. There's so many people?!]

Who... would even come up with... something that ridi... [She looks too, like, okay with it for him to shit talk. He hates this.] Uh...

[He hesitates. And then very, very shyly sort of quickly dips in to kiss her.]

[constellates]

[jin ling is so whipped and she just looks a little confused at his almost shittalking.

but then he leans down to kiss her and it disappears in the face of very cute, very sweet affection. she tilts her head upward to meet him, returning the gesture and even as she pulls away, she's smiling.

the mistletoe leaves them alone! yay!]

.... cпасибо. Oh! Or.... Xiéxié?

[sometimes you try to be quadrilingual for one cute boy]

[goldpeony]

[It's surprising his face doesn't melt off from how hot and red it is. He's still holding her hand because he's useless. Also, he can't believe that damn plant is GONE now that he's gone through this embarrassment.

No one saw them, it's fine.]

....You're welcome...

[constellates]

[he's soooooooooo cute ♥♥

and because anya is the devil, even if she's a bit embarrassed herself, the giddiness and happiness she feels manages to outweigh that. so she'll lean up briefly again to kiss his cheek in a quick peck.

and then pull away, smiling brightly]

I love wintertime... Исследовать. Let us go look for other things now.

[goldpeony]

[Ughhh. He makes the most embarrassed face in the world and again quickly looks around to make sure no one saw her kiss him on the cheek.

He sort of snatches her hand closer to him, trying to pull her along.]

Fine. Don't wander off.

[constellates]

[oh! well if he wants to lead, she has no problem following, holding onto his hand and humming happily]

Mm - рядом! I will stay close to you.

[she has no problems with that]

Do you want to try the food?

[goldpeony]

[Stop, don't be happy while holding his hand and walking with him. Mmfmfmff.]

I don't know... [He looks a bit warily over at the food tables. It looks very good, but also... He's use to being cautious. Also? He's had to eat Wei Wuxian's horrendous cooking.] Maybe.

[Guess his stomach takes the time to gurgle.]

[constellates]

[she's easily pleased, let her be happy that she just gets to hold his hand

but she tilts her head at that - before smiling and started to lead him over toward the food]

Let us have some snacks then. Доля! We can share! Is there type of food that Ling likes more than others?

[goldpeony]

[Begrudgingly, he stumbles along after her when she pulls him for the food tables. He really doesn't trust any of it, honestly. Not simply because of his own world, but...

...also being at that stupid house, too. Trust nothing.]

I... uh...

[He glances over the table. This all looks kinda weird. Like! He knows what most of it is, but it's definitely not all Fantasy Chinese food.

How does he say lotus root soup without saying lotus root soup? Which is probably not here. Also, that isn't a snack.]

I don't know.
