❄ 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.]

[she is! used to this! also akira's the only one who really gets away with it without complaint and she's about to say something but uh.....wait.]

Um...what do you mean twice?

[survivaltricks]

[ear scritch rights :3c]

. . . ah, right. You guys were asleep for the second time.

[continues to bat idly at her ears as he talks]

Leeeeet's not worry about it. How are you? I missed you. Do you like eggnog? I've never had it before.

[cluedin]

That answer doesn't make me feel much better. [she's pouting, even if she's letting akira continue before rolling right with it.] But fine, if you say so.

[she perks up again.] We missed you, too! Things are better than I thought they'd be, but the Master's still trying to settle in. I don't think I've ever had eggnog either, but it feels pretty festive to me. Let's go try some!

[it's also much better than letting akira lay facedown forever.]

[survivaltricks]

[a wave of his hand, and that's all he's going to say on the subject. he likes talking about eggnog!!!]

Mmm. Sojiro would have an aneurysm if he knew I was descending into delinquency, buuuut he isn't here.

[so he finally stands up and stretches, hands linked together as he raises them above his head]

So I can do what I want.

[cluedin]

[there are many concerns here, but she simply laughs as she bounds back a few steps to give him room, tail swishing in delight.]

Always the rebel, aren't you? [she looks excited though.] It's okay! It'll be our secret. I think I saw a table with some drinks back this way?

[survivaltricks]

[it's fine he'll be responsible about it!! probably]

I have the soul of a rebel, after all.

[going to head in the direction she indicates because EGGNOG!!]

And this is why you're my favorite, Peach. Don't tell Pumpkin or Plum.

[cluedin]

[to eggnog!! luckily for both of them, there's definitely a table with glasses already set out and everything like someone was expecting them.]

It's very cute that you think they don't already know. But it's okay, that secret's safe, too.

[they have yet to notice there's a sprig of mistletoe mounted on the wall behind the table of refreshments but it's fine, they're fine.]
