❄ 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.]

[ she's snortlaughing even as she climbs over to hang over the back of the chair. ]

Akira, dude. You're gonna suffocate.

[survivaltricks]

[the response is muffled. a little petulant?? he isn't lifting his head to speak]

Good. Maybe if I'm dead they can't kidnap me again.

[they both know that wouldn't save him]

[disreguarded]

That's not how it works. [ she grins and reaches to pull his hair. ] This one doesn't feel like a murder one, at least? I don't know. Look, if it is, we can just murder pact and hang out in the graveyard and chill.

[survivaltricks]

[. . . A SNORT, and he responds to that tugging by tilting his head to the side so he can peer at her]

I feel like it says a lot about both of us that that sounds like a great idea.

[IT'S A TERRIBLE IDEA]

[disreguarded]

Right? I'm tired, man, I want to die this time. [ beau no ]

Don't just lay in here and pout, though. Let's do some property damage or something. I have fireworks.

[survivaltricks]

[hn?? he immediately sits up, fixing his crooked glasses]

Where'd you get fireworks?

[and why doesn't he have any???]

[disreguarded]

From some sketchy fucker at home. I got a whole cart of them. [ she shoved like forty of them in her pants, it's fine. ]

[survivaltricks]

[lifts a hand to push his glasses a little further up his nose, the lenses catching the light]

Let's go cause some trouble.

[disreguarded]

[ god i missed akira what a dork

she pulls out like four sizeable fireworks and places them in his lap. time to blow up some elves? ]

[survivaltricks]

[MAYBE NOT THE ELVES?? THEY'RE WORKING HARD?? but he does gather the fireworks into his arms and hop onto his feet]

Have you been outside yet?
