jingles your mingles in year six

[alittlefuninstead]

Happy holidays guys and gals! It seems this year’s holiday party is a little… more lowkey. After the stint at that weirdo airport, you all probably just want the time to eat, drink and be merry, right? Have at it! The mansion you find yourself in has its halls decked and holly in boughs sprucing up every corner, and you can find just about anything behind any of the doors. Looking for a hot tub to warm up? There’s at least four. How about a bounce house to burn off your extra energy? This one’s shaped like a castle! You can even find ballrooms, game rooms, shooting ranges, ice skating rinks and more, whatever your heart may desire. Everywhere you look there’s plenty of food, drink and entertainment to be had, so come and jingle while you mingle!

But you didn’t think it’d be that easy, did you? You know what time it is… as per usual, it’s mistletoe season! It seems like this year’s upped the ante and the demand for kisses is higher. If you’re not careful, here’s some things you might run into:

❄️ Mistletoe can, and will, appear at random in places you might not expect, and often times it will show up at inconvenient moments.

❄️ Unfortunately, it's not just the mistletoe conspiring against you. The garland hanging in the halls will slither down on occasion to tie you to another person, ushering you both under a sprig of mistletoe and binding you until you comply.

❄️ Every now and then, a patch of ice will appear underfoot, sending you careening into another person or two with the hopes your lips will collide.

❄️ A variety of cakes, candies, cookies and cocoa appear to be special, filling you with a burst of affection you just have to get out.

❄️ Mistletoe will stick to a random part of your body, and the only way to remove it is to pucker up! The longer you resist, the more you’ll wanna kiss.

Or maybe you've had the great fortune to avoid all of these pitfalls to enjoy the party! You're free to mingle and jingle. Eat, drink, and be merry and bright...but do keep in mind that if two people are together and avoid the mistletoe for too long, you will find yourselves trapped in a gingerbread shack for one hour or until a kiss is shared. Dealer's choice.

Happy holidays!

[ooc: it's once again mgcu mingle time! this mingle is open to characters from any of our past murdergames, i am not listing them there's too many.

however. you may also bring special guests in the form of characters you considered playing in previous games or characters you are anticipating playing in the future, sort of like a TDM for potential options! this also includes any characters you may have brought to past endgame mingles for extra shenanigans because honestly, we've all had the itch of "OH X WOULD BE SO FUN OFF OF Y" and our castmate missed connections.

also we have a magical airport now, so perhaps just some rando happens to be passing through? wild! have fun mingling with strangers!]

[ oh god i have to unlock the power of my scouse ancestors again. gimme a sec.

anyway. he's over by the food because of course he is. it's not like he can tell that there's Potentially Questionable Affection Effects attached to it, but he is interested in what's available. the longer he looks, the more excitedly his tail swishes from side to side, and if you get close enough you can hear him mumbling to himself. ]

Wonder if this is meant ta be some kinda special food to go along with all these decorations or somethin'. Like a theme.

[ he's leaning down to Look at a slice of christmas cake like what is even in this. why does it smell so boozy. is that dried fruit? maybe he can replicate this. whoa. ]

[ peeks around him with his usual (: look, his tail batting affectionately at basilio's as he looks at the food. ]

Are you going to try some?

[ materializes next to him when he and his pink boyfriend aren't tailwagging each other

except her energy is also a bit tailwag, as her ears perk up a bit on either side of her head. has she not learned her lesson about random food left out? probably not. but her head tilts as she surveys the food he's looking at, reaching for a nearby plate like she's thinking she can pile up with one of everything. ]

I think 'tis likely. Some of this I've seen similar to, before, but much of it looks - and smells - unfamiliar, albeit fantastic. Where should we begin..?

I'll bet you anything it's cursed.
