❄ 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.]

[YOU ASKED FOR THIS so hi hello

there is now one (1) kouhai staring at him as he slowly becomes one with the chair. does he even know who she is? mystewy.]

Senpai? [sir??? sir???????] Why are you—? That position isn't good for your back.

[#priorities]

[survivaltricks]

[I]

[completely forgot technically Akira and Akechi were pulled from vanilla and not Royal but you know what, I don't care, yes he does know her because SUMIRE DESERVES THIS!!!!]

[also he jerks upwards immediately upon hearing that voice, nearly tumbling off of the couch because ????? SUMIRE???]

I-- what? Sumire?

[???!!!?!?!]

Whaaaaaat are you doing here?

[in this CASTLE full of MURDERGAME VETERANS]

[siblingless]

[Look. Listen. She would have absolutely 100% assumed that Akira forgot about her. Memloss prepared her for this.]

Oh—!

[But also, binch??? Don't fall??? She immediately nyooms over to stabilize him, sweaty.]

Um... Honestly, I'm not sure. I was on my way home from practice, and then I was here. [Ignore the murder that probably happened previous to that. It's fine.] Do you recognize this place?

[survivaltricks]

[BUT I WOULD HAVE BEEN SAD!!!]

[it's fine, he catches his balance before he falls, partially due to Sumire's help. she gets a weak, lopsided smile, but she can probably read the EXTREME CONCERN??? in his expression]

No. . . I don't. Though I have a hunch I know who brought us here.

[also his hunch is wrong but leave him alone, this whole setup just FEELS like Blue]

And that's all you were doing? [a. considering pause. and then he asks, sssssuper casually] Yooooou don't happen to remember anything else. . . before that, do you?

[sweats]

[siblingless]

You do?

[A hunch is still better than the absolute ??? she's feeling right now. Please stop with that concern. Everything is fine, surely.]

W-Well... [SWEATS IN STEREO.] There was something I wanted to tell you— and the others as well. But I didn't want to worry you while you were settling back into your home.
