glocksuke | ❄ I just wanna keep on waiting underneath the mistletoe ... [sisi voice] A Jingle Mingle

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.

[ a pause, and then she sort of just... shyly holds her hands out for escha to take? ]

[ well, she, okay!! takes beau's hands! it's been a long time since she thought about anything like this? ]

Oh, u-um.

[ beau just?? holds her hands?? ]

That's - super encouraging, thanks. [ she says, laughing a little. ]

Oh! Did you want encouragement?

[ um ]

Y-you can do it...!

[ ESCHA ]

I -- [ she snortlaughs for real, and then whatever, she just - goes for it. she leans down and presses a kiss to escha's lips. lingers just a little, and then pulls away! ]

[ escha is a delicate innocent maiden, but she does lean into the kiss, and doesn't mind that it lingers. kisses are nice! they're soft, and warm. and she probably leans forward just a tiny bit as beau pulls away, like she hadn't quite expected it to end yet. ]

[ oh, well. she's - well, she's red as tomato, but that's fine. she rests her forehead against escha's for a moment, and then kisses her again? why not, right. ]

[ HOOTING AND HOLLERING ]

[ aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ]

She'll treat ya well, Escha-chan, or else I'll kick her ass!

She already treats me well!

[ ..... escha? ]

[ MAJIMA PLS ]

[ HE WILL NOT STOP ]

YA DID IT!!

[ the second kiss startles her a lot more. she knew the first one was coming! but the second is definitely - lighter and more hesitant. why would somebody want to kiss her twice? this is a mystery to her. ]

[ escha this is why beau never realized there was anything going on i'm crying

beau pauses after that, and shifts back, still flushed. ] ... Not cool?

N-no, um, it was cool!

[ she's so flustered she used beau's word instead of talking like herself. ]

I just wasn't expecting it.

-- Really? [ she actually looks kind of amused. ] But... you're cute, though.

[ escha, who puts her hair in pigtails with a special braid every single day with fluffy hair-ties, and wears atelier-game-brand increasingly complex frilly outfits: ]

You think so?

... Yes? [ escha, ] That's like, objective. You're super cute, who wouldn't want to kiss you?

[ the ???????? is visible in her eyes. ]

No one has ever wanted to kiss me before.

[ that is the biggest lie in the universe ]

I do. [ she says, belligerently. ]

[ she's bluescreening

less because she's actually that fucking dumb and more because she usually chooses to not perceive. now that it's no longer an option she isn't sure how to proceed. ]

[ that's fair, like. beau also doesn't know what to do? they're both bottoms. how do you proceed after successfully hitting on a girl??

... beau just brings a hand up to rest on escha's cheek? yeah. good. ]

[ they are both so intensely bottoms this is a nightmare. at least escha lets beau's hand rest on her cheek. she tilts her head just slightly into beau's palm, near-imperceptible. ]

It was nice. ... I liked it.

[ she very gently, almost cautiously strokes escha's cheek with her thumb. ]

Um. [ ... ] I liked it too.
