Make a kiss and take a berry

[gricklegrass]

Who: YOU. EVERYONE. SMASH ACADEMY & FRIENDS.
What: Making out I mean MISTLETOE.
When: December 19th to January 1st.
Where: Everywhere.
Rating: The letter appropriate for Kissing & Violence against Plants & Swearing.

After Celebi's inquiries about tiny, berried plants, she came to a few conclusions. Either people really liked them or people were pretty indifferent to them! Or they were grumpy. There seemed to be a lot of grumpies. Clearly the solution to that was to bring the mistletoe on to campus and let it flourish! EVERYWHERE.

IT WAS EVERYWHERE.

In the halls. In doorways. Over your locker. Over your rival's locker. Dangling over your head exactly when you least expected it. If you did not want to encounter it you were probably encountering it.

And they were persistent! They were under the grass pixie's watchful eye this year. Did it just move when you tried to shoot it? Was the shot reflected back at you?? WHAT.

To make matters worse, if you happened to find yourself under certain sprigs of the holiday plant, you were stuck there. STUCK FOR ETERNITY, or at least until you got a smooch. How perfectly, wonderfully devious. There was a certain witch to thank for that.

HOW FESTIVE.

[[Have at it!! Post your dudes, go get smooches.

+ Celebi won't like you trying to destroy the plants. She will move them a couple of frustrating inches.
+ Some (not all!) plants are CURSED via Ashley. No moving until smooching. You better hope for a smooch.

Go get festive, Smash Academy BD]]

[At least he appreciates his own humour. UNLIKE EVERYONE ELSE. Sob.]

These plants have been strung up before, but I haven't heard of anyone being frozen like this... [He rubs the back of his head, his eyes lighting up for a brief moment.]

My scanners don't indicate anything out of the ordinary, either. When did this start?

[thoserookieeyes.livejournal.com]

Probably just today. Is this part of that magic garbage I heard about?

[She was just a bit wiccaphobic. Just a bit.]

These are mistletoe, right?

[But that would mean...]

Oh boy, this is the nastiest prank I've seen in a while.

[hunter-ghor.livejournal.com]

Magic is only science that has yet to be explained. [HE HAS OPINIONS ON MAGIC.] Whatever is causing this... surely it is only temporary. Until it wears off, you're at the mercy of anyone who wants a kiss.

[thoserookieeyes.livejournal.com]

And until then, it's too easy to abuse.

Are you telling me that this is all so that people will kiss each-other? You can't be serious.

[hunter-ghor.livejournal.com]

I would prefer encouragement of affection to more murders.

[thoserookieeyes.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess that is true. Still seems kind of unsafe though... What if someone got stuck under these things forever?

[hunter-ghor.livejournal.com]

I doubt that. In my experience [and hacking of the school network] it seems these things last no longer than one week.

[thoserookieeyes.livejournal.com]

One week? But that's still too long for people to live.

[Oh yeah, the whole eating thing. Daaang.]

Ah... That is a problem. I would be more than happy to provide food and water to you and whoever else gets stuck until it wears off. [It'll cut into his hunting-down-the-killer time, but he can't let people starve to death either. That would be cruel.]

[thoserookieeyes.livejournal.com]

Or you could just let people kiss you and go free. It would take less time, too.

[Hint hint, nudge nudge, I don't like you but I'd like to leave sometime today.]

[hunter-ghor.livejournal.com]

Ah. Is that how it works? [JEEZ LADY WAY TO SAY SOMETHING SOONER.]

It still may be problematic. I have no lips, you see. If you are open to the idea, I can still try...
