Oh, ho, the mistletoe, hung where you CAN'T see...

[callmestargirl]

It's the first of December. To those who regularly inhabit the Mansion, you may notice something a little bit different. Unfortunately, you may notice a little too late

Ariel notices the mistletoe, but he doesn't know what it's for. He hovers near one of the sprigs, watching people curiously to see what they're doing with it.

*aw, he's not under it! no kiss for Ariel :(*

[ayrie_spirit]

*he's also generally invisible, so people don't often know he's around to begin with XD*

[stagman]

*Aw, what a shame*

Typist pretends she doesn't fail XD

Being a frequent visitor to the Mansion, Hermione immediately spots the mistletoe hanging in various places. Not sure what to think, she shakes her head in amusement.

"I really -should- have known."

[elendilson]

"Known what?" A voice sounds behind her. The speaker is undoubtedly amused, although he does not know the custom.

[mostgiftedwitch]

If "facepalming" was an actual verb, that's what Hermione would be doing right about now. In stead, she just closes her eyes briefly and turns around with a smile on her face.

"That with the arrival of December, this particular custom would also return."

She points up at some of the places that have mistletoe hanging from them.

"Putting up mistletoe?" Anárion looks confused. "What does it mean?"

*Sibyl is another who happens to be standing under the mistletoe, though unaware of it. we're sure she'd appreciate a nice kiss from a nice gentleman.*

[vanekiller]

*and here's a Jim, wandering by and spotting the mistletoe -- and his sister, so he'll give her a kiss on the cheek* Happy December.

[shadowofarose]

*hugs him ^_^* Thank you, James! Are you not looking forward to Christmas?

[stagman]

*So he's not really a nice gentleman, but she'll get a kiss anyway :D* Merry Christmas!

*Ilmarinen is from entirely the wrong Scandinavian tradition to think anything of sitting under mistletoe to whittle--so that's precisely what he's doing*

[stagman]

*sits next to him*

*grins*

*kisses his cheek*

*runs away calling out* Merry Christmas-season!

[smithofwainola]

*stares after him--he has been trying to learn the customs of this particular land, since he's been through some strange ones; apparently the custom here is for men to be affectionate toward other men ...?*

[stagman]

*James will be happy to let him think that, he likes causing confusion, but really... it's just him, he's insane.*

*oh, right, like someone named "Valentine" is going to pass up a chance to be romantic! stands under a sprig of mistletoe and waits for his boyfriend*

[winestains]

*and when said boyfriend appears, what then? Osric smiles just to see Valentine, and then smiles even more when he notices where he is standing* You planned this, didn't you?

[be_my_me]

*grins* Would'st mind if I had? *and without waiting for an answer, pulls Osric close and kisses him quite thoroughly*

[winestains]

What do you th-- *and Osric doesn't mind being interrupted by a kiss*
