❄ 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.]

[polly winks]

I'm the liveliest dead person you'll ever meet, boo!

[guilloqueen]

Oh!

[ she has a sense of humor! good!! marie lets out a little giggle, bringing a hand up to cover her mouth. ]

Hehe, I'm glad I've read you correctly, then! Am I also right in assuming you're extremely fond of parties, too?

[yaaaasss]

[i straight up do not remember topleveling with polly what the fuck]

Well, duh! What's not to love about 'em?

[guilloqueen]

[ once again i love you ]

Mm, I agree! Even for those who are more introverted, I think parties are a wonderful way to bring people together. [ beat ] Ah... though I suppose the nature of the party or the demeanor of the host could have an effect on the atmosphere.

[yaaaasss]

[aaaa]

It doesn't look like either of those things will be a problem here! Not that I know who the host is, but the party seems pretty good to me.

[she winks]

Lots of mistletoe everywhere! You know what that means...

[does she?]

[guilloqueen]

[ judging by the way marie blinks, giggles, and blushes in that order, she probably does! ]

Are you suggesting you'd like to spend some time under the mistletoe with me? Hehe, I don't even know your name, ma cherie!

[ but it isn't a no. ]

[yaaaasss]

Oh, my name's Polly.

[problem solved!]

[guilloqueen]

Polly... what a beautiful name for such a charming girl!

[ beat ]

Oh, I've forgotten to introduce myself, haven't I? [ a sheepish giggle ] I am Marie. It's so nice to meet you.

[yaaaasss]

Nice to meet you, too, Marie!

Sooooo... you done the whole mistletoe thing before? Or do you want a hands-on lesson in how it works?
