[There is some rustling then clearly, Melody's voice can be heard ver loudly]

Raphael! Raphael!! Come quick!!

There is mistletoe everywhere!!

[She lets out a giggle, and lowers her voice.]

You know what that meeeeaaaans~~~!

--stletoe. You're telling me you don't know?

No, I don't. What's so special about them?

[Abruptly] Never mind, these people have no damn decorating sense. Who wants that in a-- [BZZZZZZZZZAP] ARRRGH...!

Ah-- [A sharp gasp, before the clinking of her keyblade.] It attacked?! [This is Xion poking at the mistletoe with her keyblade, and the subsequent shock follows with a yelp.] Ouch!
( NOT AN IC CUT )

(ooc note! BTW THIS IS XION AND LAFAYEL. They're in the hospital, on their way out of one of the rooms since Xion was patching him up after he was greeted by wolves on his arrival fffff so doctors, nurses, ANYONE IN THE HOSPITAL? Feel free to chime in :>)

[There's a familiar sound of the communicator attempting to shock its user, though there isn't an immediate reaction to it. After a while the video feed clicks on to an odd, dark shape before Luke moves his hand off of the screen with a slight whining sound.]

Can't even catch a break from this thing.

It's too warm in here, I'm going outside.

[And anyone watching gets a dizzying video of Luke picking up the communicator and carrying it loosely in one hand as he makes his way out of Latimir with considerably less coordination than usual. Luckily for him, he somehow manages to avoid mistletoe on his way out largely because mun doesn't want him forced to make out with anybody when he's got food poisoning. He does, however, nearly fall down about four different times.]

This is completely not cool.

[ooc; Hi, I meant to post this like three days ago but work and life got crazy! Technically speaking this could/should be backdated to the 14th when he actually ate Natalia's food, but we've been threading it slowly so I figured it could be today anyway since backdating gets really confusing really fast. For reference, Idiot here is running one hell of a fever from a nasty case of food poisoning, and hasn't eaten anything since Natalia's food because it wound up outside of his body a few hours after he ate it anyway so he's not fond of food right now. May or may not make this worse by including a Malboro, but idk. CARRY ON.]

[Merely a quick cut to the vampire assembling his rather neglected .454 Casull, whilst perched upon Marshall's roof-edge. The fragrance of that 'vampire plant' was noxious in the air, spurning him to wrinkle his nose. Taking a glance at the camera, his teeth spread in a grin all aglitter as he smooths the silvery iron against his brow.]


Shall I prepare the hedge-clippers, Master?

HOLY MONKEYS, it's...it's everywhere....

A tradition, hmm? It is...a very interesting tradition, I suppose. Though, I still do not understand why so many are opposed to the mistletoe, it is a very pretty plant and festive too! Well, kissing can be unwanted, I suppose, but... This place needs a little more cheer, don't you think?

Oh, and to those who are in the same band as me, I would like to get together soon so we can work out some things. Like a name, or a rehearsal schedule.

Also, I was wondering if there was anyone who was looking for a roommate. The apartment I am currently staying in is really quite crowded, and I do not want to trouble them. So, if there is anyone who is willing to let me stay with them for a little while, I would be very grateful.





AH! And before I forget, what are some songs that are sung around Christmas? I would like to learn them, since it is almost here.

Another Christmas here, huh? And another birthday missed. You're really gonna kill me when I get back, Sara.

[He taps the photo in his hands. It's old by now.]

And more mistletoe. Just need a cute girl to walk under it with me.

Hmmm....now where would I find a cute girl around here...

My my... someone certainly has gotten into the holiday spirit...

But really? The entire hospital seems to be littered. Such a predicament, hmm hmm...

Oh well. I'm sure the patients won't mind a little kiss to the cheek from our delightful nurses, right? And I'm sure those of you who need check ups wouldn't mind a kiss in the stead of a lollipop.

You know, I'd probably like this stuff if it weren't for the... underlying clause. I mean, I might get the chance to kiss a cute girl! Like Rise-chan; that'd be the day! But it being required? For anyone you end up under it with? Or get shocked?

Ha! Yeah. No. I'll just stay inside, thanks. Way to ruin a perfectly good opportunity tradition, guys.

It's back. It wasn't me, I swear! [A small laugh.] You can be Green, too. I'll share. Besides, it won't be for too long. I'll be-

...

I miss it. It was plain, but it was mine.

Oh...look at all those white dots. Like little decorations. Sort of. Can we have lights this year? That's my favorite part. ...Ornaments, too!

--sudden mistletoe?

[ There's shuffling as Kai tries to remove it from the ceiling, but as soon as he does that, he's greeted by a particularly nasty shock through his system. ]

A-Ahh... fucking Discedo--

Hn. This is gonna pose as a problem if Russia can pull off the New Years party. I should tell Gino to not try to eat the mistletoe. Hn, and probably give Kinomiya a heads up...

Tch, I'm not kissing anyone, either, even if more of that happens.

[ After that, the recording times out. ]

[It clicks on with a rustle of fabric]
I think so! What about my feelings?!
Don't count.
I THINK THEY COUNT!
Nope!
Cain! Cain let go!
It's just a little kiss, Abel!
Well let go of my waist then!
Mm, no~.
Cain, I am not going to ask again.
Muwah!

[ Ah, Kyon sounds completely under the weather. That's what he gets for being outside for twenty hours; a good portion of that was spent without his blazer. THANKS HARU. ]

[...]

Originally, I was going to ask if anyone had any tissues or something. Maybe some cough drops, or...

...But whose idea was it to put up mistletoe? Is this some sick, twisted joke on the part of the scientists? You didn't do this, did you, Haru? I'm almost afraid to head inside because I'll need to pass under it, and for some reason I don't particularly trust it.

[ A slight hiss of pain. ]

A-Ah... At any rate, can someone tell me if the mistletoe is going to come to life and eat me?

... Balthier, there are not mistletoe all throughout the apartment are there?

[Was just at the stables and... he's glad he didn't get stuck under one with a Chocobo. That would have been awkward. He's almost back to Latimir and the thought had just dawned on him. It was just like last year. Well he hoped not.]

I hope they are easy to remove unlike the year prior, if so.

MISTELTEN!

Fuck ja!

[ And then the clattering of boots on stairs.

Guess who is sitting out in the lobby of Marshall, with a beer, looking suspiciously happy.

Go on, guess. And feel free to be harassed. Unless you're Sweden. Ewww. ]


...Also, let's have another world meeting soon!

What is this mess all over the station?

[Credo sounds a little frustrated, as there are mistletoe EVERYWHERE. He does not approve.]

The fact that anyone could find so many of these, much less bother hanging them all up is ridiculous. I'm taking these down right no-OW!

[Guess who got shocked.]

[BZZT--!]  Ow!  [Pause as Oz is presumably jerking his fingers away and inspecting them for damage.  His voice is... a little more careful, a little more distracted than usual, but it'd take someone who knew him well to recognize this.]

Whoops, I didn't mean to [...] leave it alone for so long... 

Say, I have a lot of books here from the library.  Does anyone want to take some?  I can't carry them all back, after all~  [Slight pause, attention has just been caught by something.]

Eh?  Why is there mistletoe in the oven?

[ooc: alskfjkdjf sorry for neglecting his posts, guys.  First essays, then finals, and general lack of motivation-- but he should be back, and posting more regularly now, despite the outward smiling and the inward emo.  Also stop deleting my stuff, Lj formatting.

Uh, any tags after this point might be a bit less cheerful, a bit more down than is expected of Oz.  He's taking the disappearance of his servant pretty hard, though he's going to try his best not to show it..  He's definitely not in a kissing mood, XDD; so will be taking whatever shocks might come along with the mistletoe.]

Hmph, so they're back.

[A pause before her voice turns extremely bitter.]

...I would like for everyone to keep their distance from me until these horrible excuses of plants intended to spread "joy" for the Christmas holidays go away.


Especially you since you're staying here. Absolutely, do not get anywhere near me, understood?

[ooc; MISTLETOE + CHRISTMAS = Bad memories. Thus, Maka is very grouchy at the moment. The "you" is directed towards Scout :| ]
