[is new awkwardness okay too :|a]

... ah. It really is December, isn't it.

[fill_the_blanks]

[Oh dammit, I should have removed all the mistletoe from the hut when I got in.]

New rules for the month. Before leaving, remove the mistletoe. And knock before you come in.

[buggereye]

[oops]

In case more has found its way in?

[fill_the_blanks]

It's multiplying in doorways and stuff. It wasn't like that above you when I walked in.

[buggereye]

[considers it :|a]

They do seem particularly attracted to such places. I wonder if it's some sort of physiological compulsion.

...Could be. People gotta pass through doorways a lot. And those mushi like high-traffic areas.

It's the most efficient way for them to reproduce themselves.

They're doing a little too well, don't you think. It's a fucking infestation.

[rubbing at the back of his neck, MAYBE IT'LL GO AWAY.]

[buggereye]

Going strong for -- how many years now? ... I wonder if a few of them escape with the departures.

[doing a good job of staying still for the moment. of course, he kind of can't step away even if he wanted to.]

[fill_the_blanks]

Heeh, what a terrifying thought, loosing this stuff on the normal world. Though I bet you could sell it really well to teenage girls who wanna trap a boyfriend.

[:| the ground is comfy. I am staying here with my book.]

[buggereye]

That would be terribly immoral.

[fill_the_blanks]

Yup. And terribly profitable. Sounds like a familiar story.

[buggereye]

With a moral about not exploiting nature?

[settles down on the ground]

[fill_the_blanks]

Or not manipulating people for love, or something.

[buggereye]

It could be a bestseller.

[fill_the_blanks]

I wouldn't go that far.
