❄ 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.

[A shake of his head.]

But come on, don't you see what this looks like? You're walking up to a simple citizen, a lowly priest, and just asking him to bare his entire leg just for you in the middle of a party? Scandalous, I say!

[haw]

[ rips his shirt and jacket off ]

1/2

[robopriest]

[excuse. excuse me]

[SIR THERE ARE CHILDREN HERE PUT YOUR TATTOOS AND NIPS AWAY]

2/2

[robopriest]

[But after a moment of honestly stunned silence, Hansa's smile curls up in a wicked-looking grin.]

Point probably taken. But haha, those tattoos...that brazen way of acting...is that your way of saying you want a challenge, my eyepatched friend?

[haw]

[ YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

An' here I was startin' to worry ya might not speak my language.

[ he's dropping into a fight stance, closes my EYES ]

[robopriest]

Hahaha.

[YEAH, HE'S DEFINITELY SPEAKING HIS LANGUAGE]

[Hansa finishes off the rest of his drink, gesturing to Majima.

But! First things first. Let's take this outside. I'm sure we don't want the rest to come in harms way, hm? If you challenge me...I really won't make it easy.

[haw]

[ he is HYPE he is READY let's fuckin GO ]

If ya did, I'd be a lil' offended, not even gonna lie.

[ this is a man who was literally offended his mentor wouldn't fight him with real ass swords ]

[robopriest]

Oh, I'd be offended, too, on your behalf.

[Anyways, he will not be taking off his shirt, but he is certainly going to head out to the castle grounds, cold be damned.\

[haw]

[ #thecoldneverbotheredmeanyway because he really spends his entire life shirtless, it's fine, don't worry about it,

... but also, he really is pretty resistant to the cold right now, because the adrenaline pumping through his body is doing wonders at keeping him warm as he stretches while keeping his eye on hansa. S O O N ]

[robopriest]

[Hansa seems more put-together, but don't let the cool look fool you - he's just as excited.]

[When they're finally outside, he turns to Majima, smiles...and then shifts back into a fighting stance.]

Let's see your moves. I'll be nice and let you go for me first.

[haw]

[ letting out a feral roar that proves him worthy of the title "mad dog of shimano," majima runs straight at hansa with frightening speed, his first course of action being to try and sweep hansa's legs out from under him.

"but he knows hansa has a chainsaw leg"

it's fine ]

[robopriest]

[Oh...THAT'S WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT.]

[Hansa's cool exterior suddenly flashes a feral grin of his own as Majima rushes forward - expecting the sweep, he jumps back to avoid, before suddenly shifting and bending his leg up, above the other's, to try to lean foward deliver a sharp thrust of his knee into the other's abdomen.]

[haw]

[ just because he's down an eye doesn't mean he isn't able to anticipate hansa's counterattack; to avoid getting kneed right in the gut, majima quickly tucks himself into a ball and combat rolls behind hansa. he thrusts a hand out to get his footing and regain his balance, but he's back at it in the blink of an eye, this time quite literally windmilling his legs in an attempt to hit hansa. to the untrained eye, it might look like he's just flailing wildly, but there's actually a steady rhythm to his movements, a flow to his madness. ]

[robopriest]

[He can definitely tell that the man isn't flailing around for nothing - this is a very experienced fighter, but raw and wild, and all over the place, and that piques his excitement even more.]

[The problem is, that his legs are hit, and he stumbles only slightly, but hitting someone's metal legs with one's own can't feel that great. Not to be deterred, he whips his body around, trying to do a roundhouse kick to Majima's side.]

[haw]

[ again, he probably should have expected that, but hey, that just makes him want to see the chainsaw leg! even more!! wtf!!! there's a sting when his leg strikes hansa's, though, which leaves him vulnerable to the other man's counter kick. he lets out a winded "oof" as he takes the brunt of the hit, rolling across the ground.

even with the new foot-shaped bruise forming at his ribs, though, he seems even more pumped up than he already was as he pushes himself back onto his feet. ]

Ya can't keep teasin' me like this, man. Just whip it out already!

[robopriest]

Tsk, tsk. And here I though I'd be courted first. Maybe buy me flowers or something, before getting to the good stuff!

[But fine. Its not something he can fight with all that well, but he'll try it here, just to sate the other's need to see it in action. He pulls his pant leg up, revealing his entirely metal leg, and then cocks the knee back, the chainsaw in it jutting out with a clunk.]

[It starts vibrating with a vicious hum as he grins over at Majima.]

Like what you see?

[haw]

[ when hansa reveals the chainsaw and starts revving it up, majima's eye goes wide, and he freezes in place... ]

[haw]

[ before he starts to cackle almost maniacally. ]

Hot damn. Now that's what I'm fuckin' talkin' about!

[ from seemingly out of nowhere, he pulls out a metal bat (?! seriously where was he hiding that!! we don't fuckin know!!) and rolls his wrist, nonchalantly spinning it around before lifting his arm and pointing it at hansa. ]

Here's where shit gets real!

[digestif]

[ nice ]

[haw]
