Mistletoe is an obligate hemi-parasitic. It draws mineral nutrients from its host and will sometimes strangle the life out of it to its own eventual detriment. Druids used it in celebration and believed it to be an antidote for poision, which is of course patently ridiculous since ingestion causes a variety of stomach ailments and lowers the pulse

no, it is pretty much just the obvious means.

Naturally.
On a scale of one to ten, how naive do you think it would be to hope that one such offering would be enough to assuage the horde?

[wearthehood]

i don't know about the naive thing, but it does work...

worst

[wearthehood]

do you need to be saved, rose?

[wearthehood]

i mean, i have already smooched your corpse, so it would not be that weird.
right?

[andthorns]

Yes, after kissing my cold and lifeless body, any further demonstrations would indeed not be that weird.
There is very little that would be as weird as that, I think.

[wearthehood]

it was for a good cause.

My hero!
I'm very grateful to not be dead, and would be very grateful not to be cornered in an alleyway by magic mistletoe.
