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!]

[ a large tiefling woman is sitting in the middle of the manor, with a santa hat on. it is placed artfully to the side so that it does not get pierced by her horns. the santa hat is not the only festive thing, either; her horns are decorated with garlands, which are sprouting mistletoe in a stubborn attempt to get some kissing going on, though be warned that there will be no kisses on the mouth from this woman unless you are a metal cowboy. oh, and also, she's not glowing. she's just a normal tiefling lady with no glowing chest. yay!

she looks pretty cozy, flopped out in a chair that is much too small for her, with a cocoa and some cookies, her tail wriggling in joy.

if you catch her gaze, she grins wildly and waves you down. come here!! come here. she has a gift box for you. doesn't matter if she knows you or not. ]

I.
[ watch as this stupid pink fox walks down the hallway fastly but in a totally chill and cool and calm collected way

he is slowly being followed by garland that's like, wriggling across the ceiling with mistletoe. it is gaining on him. his ears are pressed back and he looks like he's considering jumping out a window. you can practically hear the jaws theme playing. what will you do... ]

II.
[ or! find jiaoqiu standing at the refreshments area, sniffing the drink in his hand and then looking disappointed. man. why's it gotta be cocoa... he can't drink this... ]

[ a lad with blue hair and mismatched eyes can be found wandering the grounds! you'd think that maybe he'd be frightened or unsure of being slapped down right in the middle of such crazy festivities, but nope. in fact, this lad is wide-eyed and excited, exploring the grounds and enthusiastically hanging out with the wildlife. like the penguins, who i presume are still wandering around. really, it just seems like he's having a great time exploring somewhere new.

if you approach, he grins warmly, and holds out a cupcake. ]

Would you like to try? I don't think it's poisoned.

Edited 2025-12-20 20:35 (UTC)

[ 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. ]

[ i think i'm funny so.

tama is over by the ice skating rink. she is ABSOLUTELY dressed up for christmas -- she's get a little christmas hat on and everything -- but she's looking at the rink and little tiredly and a little warily. ]

Nice try, I'm not falling for that again. Literally and not.

[ wow. what did the ice rink ever do to her? other than cause her to fall over a bajillion times and kiss two people.

if she's not over by the rink you can find her occupying a comfy spot near enough to the food and drink that she doesn't have to go hunting, but quiet enough that she can chill and watch to see who's showing up and who she does and doesn't recognise.

she's also ignoring any and all wandering plant life, but. y'know. there's a long game to be played here and the location text says the plant will win, so. ]

[ only the one prompt while I'm running out the door but I think I'm funny so

see hawke. see hawke yell at a closed door, trying to swat the mistletoe jingling merrily over his head ]

I'm not bloody finding someone when I need the closet, go bother someone less busy, go on, get!

[ if he sets anyone a little on fire, it's not his fault, he swears ]

[ if you give strohl ten minutes he will be more concerned about will just like, showing up here, considering the!!! insinuation!!! of people involved in murdergame!!! in this mansion!

but that's ten minutes from now. instead will is here!!! and so, strohl appears over will's shoulder, peers over at the cupcake, listens, and then says, with utter exasperation: ]

Captain, please say that with a little more confidence...

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?

There you are.

[ there's a bit of stressed energy radiating off of hulkenberg as she practically speed walks over to will, the second she sees him. this lad! will give her grey hair!

but she does stop as he holds up the cupcake, blinking down at it - and then there's two wolves inside of her, ears giving a small, downward twitch as she regards the morsel. oh no. oh, he's offering her food! but he's mentioning poison! why!! ]

... I shall find out, at the very least. [ it wouldn't do if will ate a poisoned cupcake. but her? she'd probably be fine. so she glances to make sure strohl isn't breathing down her neck to lecture her about eating weird food, and will nobly accept it from him to check that it isn't poisoned. ]

[ looks at him

turns his head aside to look away, as if he doesn't know him ]

Well, I don't want to lie...

[ lying is rude!! he can't be sure it's not poisoned!! suppose there's one way to find out though, right? don't worry about him being here it's probably fine.

anyway, gives him a heart attack by taking a bite out of the cupcake. ]

[ A ]

Sir! [ HURRIEDLY TRYING TO SWALLOW it comes out more like "thir" ] - You didn't eat any, did you?!

Edited 2025-12-21 00:14 (UTC)

[ do you require sanctuary from the mistletoe? or are you looking to bring some and inflict it upon the unsuspecting, as they try to find shelter?

look no further than zhongli! in a corner of the mansion, the retired archon has erected some geo energy to keep the mistletoe and garland at bay, if only temporarily. he's seated with one ankle propped on the opposite knee as he sips some mulled wine, as it looks (smells?) like, watching the activities with warm fondness. he's mostly here for the people watching and socializing in some peace and quiet, though it's not as if he can't be dragged out for the festivities. he's spry for his old age, and all that.

if you look his way, he raises his drink and beckons to the shelter that he's made, indicating the other seats in his little cluster. do you approach for safety, or come bearing mischief? ]

[ ah!! hulkenberg!! he isn't alone!! he grins, when he sees her approaching, completely oblivious (on purpose) to her being stressed out that he was missing.

the grin falters though, when she says she'll try it, and he frowns instead. when she reaches out to take it, it's like he very quickly reconsiders, and he holds it out and away from her like he can stop her from grabbing it. he's two apples tall and she could totally just reach over him and take it, but it's the principle of the thing. ]

No, I changed my mind. I don't want you to get poisoned.

[ 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?

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

[ must you do this to her, will metaphorson???

except now he's taking the cupcake away. and she frowns back at him, staring down at his little apple self, moving to put her hands on her hips as she does. ]

Well, 'twould not be the first time I had eaten cursed food. [ poisoned? who knows. she probably has and just survived through it without blinking. ] Give it here, Captain. If you will not let me taste it, then you should not, either.

[ at least she's, like. giving him the chance to give it to her instead of taking it from him by (minimal, giraffe-legged) force. ]

[

shoves the entire thing in his mouth ]

[ 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..?

No!! Captain, spit it out!

[ grabs his cheeks to try and squish

doing amazing, kids ]

[ I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU WERE EXPECTING HULKENBERG

anyway, it's like trying to get plastic out of a cat's mouth, he's determined to chew and swallow it. he will do his BEST to wriggle out of her grasp. ]

[ HELLO!!! ]

Don't just eat it! [ it really probably isn't poison but you're going to give both of them heart attacks now. he does not make will spit it out but he is watching him like a Hawk while he eats. ] Have you no sense of - I don't even know why I'm asking that, I know the answer!

I'll bet you anything it's cursed.

[ man who watched so many of his friends eat cursed food in the airport.png ]

[ SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT SHE EXPECTED EITHER

when he starts eating it faster, she starts panicking faster - but then decides the best way to deal with this is to grab her own, similar cupcake and shove it into her mouth. in retribution?

no. in case he starts having symptoms, so that she can know what they are by experience and treat him that way if it winds up poisonous. #logic! (no) ]

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...? ]
