❄ 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.]

[The real comedy here is Ogata absolutely has spare clips in the pouches on his belt but like, don't worry about it. Ogata replaces the bolt on his now empty rifle, locking it in place with a satisfying click.]

Don't ask the impossible of me.
[Ogata doesn't enjoy things that aren't gun.]

[shixiong]

[ YOU THINK HE DOESN'T KNOW THAT? he'd shake you by your cat ankles but he's going to trust you not to go shoot anyone else!!! don't make him regret this. please. ]

Right. [ he's not gonna push it. ganba cat man. ]

[snyaiper]

[We can't do that without Bucky here, that's his job. Anyway, while Yin Yu is here;]

... It looks like Flayn went with you, after all.
[Based on how she's dressed.]

[shixiong]

[ wow ogata and bucky cr :pensive:

i mean. oh? he's not expecting the conversation to carry on... yin yu's cheeks turn a little pink? ]

...She did, yes. Only recently.

[snyaiper]

[Ogata is a similar flavor of asshole to Kano so Bucky would probably beat his ass.]

Haha. I'd say I was happy for you but it's really more that I'm just no longer irritated.
[It was!!! Dumb of them not to leave together from the start!!! Not that he wants them to be happy or anything. Whatever.]

[shixiong]

[ ... ]


...thanks. I think. [ he had to go and (redacted) first ]

[snyaiper]

I'm sure you'll find another way to screw things up eventually.

[Ogata why can't you just be nice.]

[shixiong]

Probably.

[ he already knows he's not good enough for flayn ok. ]

....Even so, I - wasn't around, and she still... [ .....

uuuu he clears his throat. ] -- the point is that even if I do, I would do my best to make up for it, in whatever way I could. So.

[snyaiper]

[Haha as if Ogata is just going to let that go;]

She still what?

[shixiong]

...Nothing.

[ it's sappy and embarrassing. run away, ogata ]

[snyaiper]

It doesn't sound like nothing, Yin Yu.

[No he sees weakness and he has to continue to poke at it until he regrets it.]

[shixiong]

[ that's fine. there's a beat. ]

I died. [ point blank! man sometimes you die in a murdergame only to go home and immediately die like two weeks later :') ] It took five years to come back, and she was one of the people who helped me to return.

[ SO THERE YOU GO ]

[snyaiper]

[Stares at him for a long moment, taking this information in.]

... Well, you know I managed to just avoid dying in the first place.
[Is he making this some sort of contest. The guy who went home and lost a fucking eye.]

[shixiong]

...Congratulations.

[ it's not a competition, ogata. but if it was, you would've won, he guesses!!! ]

[snyaiper]

How did it happen?

[He doesn't think Yin Yu will tell him, but he has to ask.]

[shixiong]

The details are unnecessary, but I lost a fight.

[

again. this is a terrible and boring answer, 0/10. ] One that I could not have won.
