250 people rebelled against Moses

[It has taken a trek up to the castle, and a day's worth of people watching, but Crowley has finally figured out what's causing the Christmas kissing, and as such, feels it's time to carry on his sacred duty to the castle at large.

He sits in a chair in the lobby, idly twisting a sprig of mistletoe between his thumb and forefinger. His journal open on the table beside him, he idly dictates into it]

Well, well, my dear fellow residents. It's that time of year again. As some of you may have noticed, there is a lot of unwilling lip locking going on. This is regular, and pointless to fight. Might as well ride it out until it's done.

Every year, I pose a little challenge, open to anyone who wants to play. Whoever gets the most kisses during this interesting little season gets a basket of alcohol of their choice, and bragging rights for the rest of the year. Anything you manage to get beyond a kiss, willingly mind you, earns you double points.

So...who's game?

Equius: investigate strange decorations with unknown consequenses [Dictated/action]

[cant_breathe_no_heir]

[Equius had been strangely silent for the most part in the days following the return from Florence. To those that knew him, this was actually not that surprising, but to others, it might be odd to know that he's been spending so much time alone in his room. He's actually been very busy, working on something for a certain friend.

Sadly though, a few parts were still required. So, Equius rose from his seat and prepared to set out into the outside world.]

It has come to my attention that this holiday is about giving gifts. Is that correct?

[He still felt the need to ask, even though he had already been told. Wiping a few grease stains from his shirt, the troll went to his door and carefully opened it...

And came face to face with a sprig of mistletoe. stopped by confusion, Equius stared at the vegetation for a moment, glancing out into the hallway to see if anyone had done this. Strangely, he was beginning to feel... odd.]

Also... it would appear that we have an outbreak of vegetation in the castle.

[Dictated/action]- Harry isn't unfamilar with mistletoe

[his_nemesis]

[Christmas is always a good time to spend with friends and family, right? Well, for this boy wizard, he certainly enjoys Christmas. Hogwarts always held the best Christmas for him. Much better than the Dursley's by far. All he got was Dudley's old sock filled with nothing or worse. Nothing at all. Now, Harry was actually happy that he is spending Christmas here within the castle. He is away from the Death Eaters and the Horcruxes and can actually have some fun with his friends. Or, at least, that's the the plan.

He walks past a familiar arch to access the Library, when he feels rather odd. The feeling is slow at first but begins to make him feel dizzy with need. He feels like kissing someone. Cho? Ginny? He remembers kissing certain girls when there was mistletoe about. Looking up, Harry sighs. There is mistletoe above him right now. Is this some kind of castle magic? He looks around to see if there are any good-looking girls about. Why not? It isn't like he can help the urge he feels right now.]

Uh, does anyone else feel the same right now? I would just really....like to kiss someone right now.

Sixth car - Mistletoes! [Action]

[teenagebadboy]

[Unaware of the castle's magic Aaron had ventured outside of his room. He was skilled at that, spending time alone in his room. But today he really wanted some toast. As nothing beat own made toast he had headed towards the kitchen. He was familiar with the tradition of kissing under mistletoes so while he walked through the castle he did his best to avoid them. Until he stepped into the kitchen and suddenly felt overwhelmed with the urge to kiss someone. It shocked him deeply and in confusion he looked up at the mistletoe above him. He cursed under his breath. So this was what he had gotten warned about.]

Bloody castle.
