[Raven has just walked out of the flower shop, looking a bit annoyed at the fact they didn't seem to have what he was looking for.]

MISTLETOE!

Why did nobody tell me 'bout that tradition before?! All these years I could've gotten a free kiss from a pretty lady for danglin' a flower over her head, gone to waste!

If you're lookin', you're barking up the wrong tree kinda tree. Mistletoe's got berries, not flowers... 'least the kind you're looking for.

[crisis_rain]

Really? So you can eat it when yer done gettin' kisses then?

[salvagedslayer]

Sure. If you're into eating poison. My vote's for no, leave 'em up. There'll always be another cute girl passing by sooner or later.

[crisis_rain]

Now that's the kind of logic I like. Ya got a name darlin'?

[salvagedslayer]

Name's Faith. You?

[crisis_rain]

You can call me Raven~ I'm assumin' yer from a world where you've got this tradition then.

[salvagedslayer]

[Aww now, that just sounds like half a porn star name. But! Faith exercises massive restraint in being polite.]

Nail on the head. There's a reason we hang 'em in doorways. Gotta go through one eventually, right? [she laughs] Pro-tip for when you get your hands on some.

[crisis_rain]

[I have no comment on that but it is awesome.]

Oh yer supposed ta hang 'em in doorways? What if you miss someone walkin' through or someone ya don't like passes under it?

[salvagedslayer]

Well that's the part where it's up to you. Both of you gotta be standing underneath it, right? Just sidle off when the cougars come out to play. [she laughs]

[crisis_rain]

OK let me get this right, ya hang it in a doorway and then wait for people to walk under it while yer underneath it? Wouldn't you just be blockin' the doorway?

[salvagedslayer]

Nobody said you had to be standing in the doorway. Just near it. Then when the time comes, y'can't say it takes all that long for the pucker-and-peck to get over and done with.

...

Well. Unless you want it to continue anyway. But there're rooms for that, I figure.

[crisis_rain]

So I could hide and then just pounce on people who walked in the doorway? That could be kinda fun! And disastrous

Now yer makin' me wish I wasn't on the 2nd floor of the buildin'.

[salvagedslayer]

Thus why it's usually done at a party.

[crisis_rain]

A party you say? [Devious idea obtained.]

[salvagedslayer]

Damn straight. [mischief managed]

[crisis_rain]

So if I threw a Christmas party you'd come then?
