glocksuke | ❄ I just wanna keep on waiting underneath the mistletoe ... [sisi voice] A Jingle Mingle

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.

It's romantic. [ when it's completely removed from herself. which is what she is trying to fall back on. ]

Um... Well, if we got forced to eat it, it could poison us.

[escha?]

I dunno if we're gonna be forced to eat it. Sounds pretty gross. [he says that, but he does not realize that there is now a piece of mistletoe floating on its own and looming in the background behind him.]

... Probably not.

[ she looks... very distracted by it. this is. this is fine. ]

I wonder if I could take some home to use as an ingredient...

To make it into a bomb? [why is that the thing he specifically remembers. also uh...hm...that looks is making him curious.]

A bomb, or poison, or... A poison bomb...!

[ wehehe ]

[concern????]

Annnd just how many poison bombs have you made before?

I usually stick to one or the other. But combining them does sound fun!

When you put it that way? I almost want to rip a piece off the walls to see what you come up with. [...hm...] How hard do you think it'd be?

[ she gives the encroaching mistletoe a vacant look. he will not even have to tear it from the wall to get some.

... anyway ]

Oh, very easy. The real problem is making sure you don't poison yourself after throwing the bomb.

[eventually...he will look and notice what she's staring at but not right now.]

You could make it like a grenade? Pull the pin and throw it so there's enough time to head for cover before it explodes.

[ look, she's happy to delay the inevitable. ]

That's a good idea.

[ if not a little too practical for her tastes? ]

Or maybe I could make an antidote explosion to use right after!

Wait is that a thing? Like a healing smoke bomb? [how does this work, please explain your explosions and not the mistletoe looming practically over his head.]

[ she looks up... at the mistletoe... then back down. ]

I don't see why not. We might have to fight a little more grouped up than usual... Or maybe I could just give the antidote the 'automatic' trait... Then it would activate on its own whenever we need it.

...that sounds good, whatever that all means. [he's not from that genre of videogame, forgive him.] And it sounds like a lot of work but I think you of all people could figure it out.

[but he can't help but notice where she's looking so he tilts his head.]

What's up?

[ aw, that's nice. ]

... The mistletoe is getting closer. It's kind of creepy.

[he finally clues in and tilts his head back to look at the mistletoe. hm. hm!!!]

...should we shoot it? [no!]

[ no! ]

Please don't! That would probably cause a huge commotion! [ is that the? only problem? ]

Alright, alright. No shooting. [but hm!] So...how do we get rid of it?

[...neither of them are this stupid, and Yet.]

[ she stares at him for like a second before looking away. ]

... Don't know.

[don't stare at him like that!!]

...if we move from it, it should be fine? [he sounds doubtful, and he's looking back up at the mistletoe again as if trying to see if it's rigged somehow.]

I don't think so. It's been getting closer on its own.

It'll probably just follow us.

Then...is it blackmailing us? Like. Maybe it won't leave until we actually comply or something.

[who allowed mistletoe to think?]

Oh! Maybe it has the 'automatic' trait, too!

I wonder if I could make something like this for holiday parties back home...

[ that really did not answer his question or address that they probably need to comply. wow. ]

[the worst is that he allows the distraction and he blinks softly.]

Whoa, wait, what's "the automatic trait" in this case? What does that even mean?
