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

SLOPPY MAK3OUTS??? >:OOOO

[andthorns]

Sloppy makeouts indeed.
Unless you have a better plan?

[andthorns]

To be honest my efforts to extract myself with less conventional means may have exacerbated the situation.

[d3c4d3nt]

HUM4NS SUR3 4R3 W31RD!

[wearthehood]

no, it is pretty much just the obvious means.

[andthorns]

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?

[hot4engines]

... magic?

[andthorns]

It's real.

[hot4engines]

I'd say "now I've heard everything", except I ain't sure this is the last bizarre thing I'll hear...

[andthorns]

I think you're taking it all pretty well.

[ariseanew]

and from the network it seems like a pretty common one
so ill have to be careful
i really hope someones come to your rescue by now!

[andthorns]

I think I am being unfairly targeted.

[ariseanew]

that would be really unfortunate if it were true!
what makes you think so?

[andthorns]

I may have offended them with my attempts.
Presumably their excessive numbers are some form of revenge.
