❄ 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.]

Sorry, sorry. I'll be nice.

[ sensitive about his eye: noted (again.) They glance at the proffered pie piece briefly, then raise their glass and use it to nudge his hand away, gesturing upwards with their chin. ]

Don't look now, Goro-kun, but you're trapped.

[ it's......... mistletoe!! did they already kiss? yes but mizuki is discounting it on account of non-consensual spitting in their mouth. ]

[haw]

[ there's a time and place for eye jokes!! ... but it's also true that it's a little different when it's not coming from him; even for someone as close to him as mizuki, he can't help but be touchy with someone who doesn't know what it's like to navigate the world half- (or even fully-) blind.

...that being said, he's an expert at compartmentalizing, thanks to the rollercoaster that's been his life. he tucks that thought away for now to glance up; the sight makes him scoff a little, and he returns his gaze to mizuki with a playful glint in his eye. ]

Lemme guess. This your way of sayin' ya want a redo?

[digestif]

[ mizuki is tactful enough to not do it again! despite their attitude, they do care about him very much. probably too much, which is why they are now living with him. ]

It's got nothing to do with me! This is the tradition, right? We need to do it properly, or we're being disrespectful.

[ they shift while they speak to stand more in front of him, stretching their arm (carefully - they don't want to spill booze on Majima) over his shoulder, trying to box him against the doorframe a bit. They're lying, because they're obviously the one aiming to trap him, and they lean up, placing a kiss on his jaw. ]
