❄ 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.]

In all honestly, I wasn't really expecting it to be... But all the same, the confirmation is thoroughly unwelcome. [ big sigh ]

[specialdog]

It always takes a lot to leave a place like this. What do you think the qualifier is?

There are too many people here, so I'd like to leave, too.

[autocatalysis]

I don't know. Give at least five other people here a gift? It can't be to help decorate, since that already seems to be taken care of...

Get everyone to join in on a group carol?

[ basically everyone in elympios is an atheist, but please, by the goodwill of the spirits, do not let that actually be the case. ]

[specialdog]

I can't give people gifts. I didn't come here with anything and don't know half these people.

And I'm not caroling.

[ she's shooting theories down as if he would have any say in what the rule is, for some reason. ]

[autocatalysis]

It's not like I want to do any of those things either, but knowing our luck, and how these things tend to go, I'm expecting it to be something about that level of inane? [ what mistletoe. he does not see. besides, it seems too obvious? glad that these two get together and immediately start bitching, as they do. ] What ideas do you have? I'm guessing you showed up here a little before I did...

[specialdog]

They usually tell us what they want. Buuut, based on what I've seen, I've got an idea!

[ she is looking meaningfully at the mistletoe. our smooch to comment ratio is Something, that's for sure, but she's been here long enough to see some stuff. ]
