There has been a mishap of sorts, and now there is mistletoe everywhere- in the rafters, hanging from doorways, in trees, etc. It is also very magical mistletoe and if you step underneath some along with someone else, you'll be stuck there until you've kissed.
This is readily apparent not just because of the whole "can't move" thing, but also because the mistletoe talks and is loudly encouraging you to kiss.
Enjoy your world's stupidest Christmas party.
DETAILS:
- Yeah, talking mistletoe. NPC it as you like. It can't do much other than trap you in place and yell at you, though.
- Maybe the mistletoe'll be fine with cheek smooches and hand kisses and let you go with just that, but if you want it to be insistent on mouth kisses, you can specify.
- This is really just an elaborate excuse to embarrass our characters, enjoy.

[They stick their nose up. They don't even know the mistletoe is magic, yet.]

on 2020-12-08 10:47 pm (UTC)...Why? Is there another child hanging from the ceiling?
[He peers up with Deep Concern and whoops, there it is: A cheery sprig of greenery tied with a bright red ribbon.]
[The Witch King throws his hands up in exasperation.]
Augh! Where does this stuff keep coming from?!
no subject
on 2020-12-08 11:49 pm (UTC)But you know the rules, right? [Though now they're only considering following them 'cause it'll probably freak him out.]

[After like, a solid minute of this he lets his arms drop.]
Curses...

C'mooon!

on 2020-12-10 04:32 pm (UTC)Yeah, come on~!
[The Witch King turns his head this way and that way, dividing his scowls between the mistletoe and the child laughing up a storm beside him.]
The nerve of both of you! How dare you delight in the suffering of an irredeemable bad guy like myself!

on 2020-12-07 10:30 pm (UTC)[But as for the rest of it, they've opted to handle it by grabbing some snowflake-shaped cookies and finding a corner to lurk menacingly in- except they can't seem to find a good corner that hasn't been taken by some other wallflower.]
[So. They glance around for a human who seems easy enough to intimidate away, and find it in... some scruffy nerd with glasses.]
[Chara gives him a glower with burning red eyes and then starts marching towards him with their best murderwalk, oblivious to the greenery that has appeared in a nook above the two of them.]
[By way of a greeting, they say:]
Human.
o boy
on 2020-12-08 03:41 am (UTC)Ostensibly he is spying, just in case. He and Snake both know it's more for a break, but Snake--Dave--isn't here. Somewhere close, if he has to bail. But not here.]
Um, hello.
[He tries to step back, but his legs won't move??? Leading to an awkward backward lean.]

on 2020-12-08 10:48 am (UTC)You're in my spot.
[Yes. This spot that they definitely laid claim to, for important reasons.]
no subject
on 2020-12-09 10:10 am (UTC)[There are other corners, and he doesn't want to be the center of attention, so he tries to move again, to the side this time.
When it doesn't happen, his stare drops to his shoes.] What--? I'm stuck? [And it's not just his shoes, when he thinks to try shifting his feet to slide out of them. A chill runs up his spine. Is this a trap?
And then he hears a weird noise above his head.]
feel free to npc the mistletoe too!
on 2020-12-09 01:18 pm (UTC)[They're sharp enough to suspect the sarcasm under that, but does it matter as long as they get what they want?]
[Except... * The human didn't move. Just shifted awkwardly to the side without actually moving his feet. And then claimed to be stuck? Chara's eyes narrow.]
Oh please. That strategy doesn't work on me when it comes from a child. And it certainly won't work from an adult.
[Then, they also hear the weird noise. A sort of rustling... and a childish giggle?]
[Chara looks up sharply.]
!
[ * The mistletoe wiggles its leaves meaningfully.]
