merry merry christmas, and I want you to know

[mansionstaff]

Who: YOU
What: KISSLETOES
When: December 14th - January 1st
Where: Everywhere
Warnings: Sloppy makeouts.

SUDDENLY, AND WITHOUT WARNING...



The entire school has become covered in mistletoe overnight. It grows out of the walls! The ceilings! Everywhere you least expect it? HOW CAN THIS BE??

It's probably best not to think about it. Attempts to uproot the plants or burn them away only makes the plants grow back faster. For the time being, it seems the school must live with it.

[OOC INSTRUCTIONS:
+ Post dudes, get kisses!
+ Some (NOT ALL) plants are cursed. If you manage to step under a cursed plant, you will exchange a memory when or if you exchange a kiss. The memories will be first-person and very vivid, and characters will feel like they are experiencing the memory in real time, though in reality the transfer is instantaneous. Memories can be as short, long, happy, sad, or traumatic as you like.
+ If you'd like to participate, we highly suggest making a list of a few memories (with accompanying links/descriptions) that are up for grabs, and linking or posting the list in your top-level comment. Memory exchange is COMPLETELY OPTIONAL. When in doubt, OOC communication!
+ PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TAG YOUR CHARACTERS
+ That's it, we love you.]

"Oooh," Henry crooned, taking on a shade of intrigue. "Not-quite-zombies that bleed and everything, huh? Guess Infected is a more suitable name for them after all~." Surprisingly, his interest was genuine: anything like the Risen caught his eye. It was a product of s life spent with them that just normalized their presence, and you could either live in fear or, as Henry did, find a fascination in them.

"Say, Infected... Does their name have anything to do with it? Are they just regular old humans with some kind of disease? Sickness? Say it's spread by bites, kisses, through the water, rancid meat, toe fungus... Is there a cure?"

"It ain't a toe fungus..." Joel replied, doing his best not to be annoyed at the seeming flippancy of the list Henry provided. "But it is a fungus. It's called the cordyceps. It infects the brain, like a parasite, taking over all motor functions. They get violent and hungry and that's about as much as I know about how it works."

Which wasn't ENTIRELY true. He knew a little more than that, but it was technical stuff he'd picked up and probably not that interesting.

"...and no. There ain't a cure."

And that was on him.
