jingles your mingles in year six



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!]

1. yay food
[ not a rando... but a rondo!

anyway you can find the golden retriever in a human body that is rondo ravus at the food table because of course you can. if you've never met him before, maybe he strikes a nice picture - six feet of muscle and golden blonde hair knight in shining armor, (if you ignore how dumb his hair looks), standing tall and broad and perusing the food. it just so happens he overhears a nearby conversation - someone talking about the food with potential... problems...

it's a shame he's already like three quarters of the way through a slice of cake. rondo turns his head to look at you, approaching person. and with his mouth still full, his eyes comically wide, he says: ]
--Curthed food?

[ oh no ]

2. red hat fairy
[ or maybe you can find him hanging out with a bag of gifts to give presents to friends! or holding cocoa, looking out at the familiar snowy landscape, or just being a social butterfly. if you look familiar, though, he immediately will wave you over, patting the bag with a big grin. ]

Happy - what is it, here? At home, we'd say it's the Flame Festival. This is wonderful, isn't it?

No. I don't eat strange food, Rondo. [ he barely eats non-strange food. ] Don't talk with your mouth full.

Oh... right. That's good, at least...

[ how many times has even seen sir sazantos eat more than two bites of something... this is a good point. he looks down at the mostly finished cupcake, and this time dutifully swallows without choking on cake (be proud!) and frowns down at the plate. ]

... Well... at least I don't feel any different...

[ not...cursed...? ]
