❄ 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.]

[ it’s on The List. maybe when they get home, now that they’ve seen everyone again and tonbo’s besn far too shifty this evening.


meanwhile he’s just pouting on nikkari’s shoulder until someone decides to share again ]

[uncleanse]

[ git gud babe because it's his turn to be greedy ]

[daifukus]

[ he’s already a greedy ghost, he can’t be a greedy glutton too??

but alas tonbo didn’t bring a second fork to duel him to the death for so he just presses his chin into the fleshy bit nikkari’s shoulder, leaning his weight heavily against his side.


nikariiiiiiiii :( shaaaaaare :( ]

[uncleanse]

[ sure he can! he chuckles as tonbo whines at him, but like, he's in full shitty boyfriend mode right now. he cannot be stopped. holding the fork in his mouth, he puts his hand on top of tonbo's head and simply lets out a muffled, ]

Mmmm?

[daifukus]

[ welp. it's time to bring out the big guns. and by big guns i mean from where tonbo's arm is looped around nikkari, it starts to stroke the skin behind his ear gently trying to distract his bae so he can just straight up steal the fork while he's blissed out ]

I thought I had gotten this to share?

[uncleanse]

[ well, it sort of works! in that nikkari sighs happily as tonbo teases him and takes the fork out of his mouth... only to use it to gently prod at tonbo's lips. ]

Haha...I suppose I decided to be selfish for a while. Are you going to punish me for it?

[ BEGONE, THOT, ]

[daifukus]

[ the finger stroke turns into a pinch, tonbo humming thoughtfully at the question. ]

I suppose I could always go find more treats. For myself.

[uncleanse]

[ you know

though he shivers when tonbo pinches him, he says nothing as his eyes narrow curiously.

he wants to see if tonbo is bluffing or not. ]

[daifukus]

There was a lovely parfait we passed. Those cups full of fruits and whatnot. Oh, I believe there were those custard tarts you like....

[ mmmm. those sound really good right now....]

[uncleanse]

[ nikkari's demeanor remains the same, though now there is something inherently threatening about the smile he wears. ]

Mm, I recall seeing them... what of it, Tonbo-kun?

[daifukus]

[ he just continues on teasing nikkari like he’s completely unaware he’s five seconds out from getting jabbed with a fork ]

I suppose since you’re quite busy at the moment I’ll simply have to go get more treats. For me.

[ and moves to get up ]

[uncleanse]

[ nikkari does not stop him from trying to leave.

:) ]

[daifukus]

[ .......... hm.

WELL SINCE HE’S COMMITTED NOW I GUESS HE’S OFF TO GET MORE TREATS. but most importantly, a second fork.

at least he brings back a custard tart for nikkari? ]

[uncleanse]

[ at the very least, by the time tonbo returns, nikkari has only taken a few more bites of cake... but there's a penguin butler in tonbo's seat now. hm. ]

Ah, welcome back, Tonbo-kun.

[ he casually rests his hand on the penguin's head. ]

[daifukus]

[ he stares at the penguin, eyebrow raising slightly. hm. ]

I’ve returned successfully from my expedition.

[ would nikkari like his treat or is he busy with his new penguin buddy ]

[uncleanse]

[ he stares at tonbo

he stares at the pengu

he picks pengu up, places it in his lap, and pats the newly-vacated seat next to him. ]

[daifukus]

[ his lips twitch like he wants to laugh but he sits anyways, and holds out the tart for nikkari to take ]

Have you made a friend, then?

[uncleanse]

It simply wandered by while you were gone. Perhaps it wanted a break from the service it's been providing?

[ oh, but then tonbo hands him the dessert... and he happily noms it while pengu waves at tonbo. ]

Mmm... I suppose I can forgive you this once.

[ nikkari you were the one being an asshole for no reason ]

[daifukus]

[ oh. cute... he waves back. ]

I’m glad you enjoyed your treat then.

[ so, so dryly. but with bratkari placated, tonbo will be going in to steal his well deserved bites of yule log. ]

[uncleanse]

[ looks like nikkari found the perfect...........................wingman ]

Ah, you brought your own fork this time. Smart thinking, love.

[ ... surely tonbo brought more than just the one (1) custard for him, right... ]

[daifukus]

[ :unamused: ]

I figured it for the best.

[ the second custard he brought back, tonbo takes a piece out of. om nom nom. ]

[uncleanse]

...!

[ THIS... THIS BETRAYAL... ]

Tonbokiri . . .

[daifukus]

Hmmm?

[ takes another bite ]

[uncleanse]

[ ... he is now despondent as he slowly picks at the log.

pengu helpfully tries to poke him. he does not react. ]

[daifukus]

Is something a matter, beloved?

[ here, let him put half of his tart on nikkari’s plate. he doesn’t have a feesh for pengu but what about a fruit? those are good for them, right? ]
