So. It's December! For all of you newbies, that means it's about the time of year where the castle starts playing matchmaker yet again. Every year so far there's been some kind of enchanted decoration around the castle that forces people to kiss each other. Good luck trying to avoid it, that stuff is everywhere. Literally.

With that in mind, things can get a little complicated in your love life during this trying time. Maybe you'll accidentally kiss someone your best friend likes in front of them! Maybe you'll kiss someone and realize you actually had feelings for them after all. Or maybe you'll kiss your worst enemy and realize it wasn't actually that bad.

So, I'll be putting a little box at my door -- that's room 405, for anyone who didn't know -- for anyone who needs some anonymous advice about what to do about their newfound feelings, the awkwardness that ensues, or whatever. Trust me, I'm sure at least one couple will hook up before Christmas rolls around. It's a little bit sad that it takes enchanted ornaments to get the love flowing, really, but what can you do?

Have fun~ ♥

Give or take a day or two. So?

[ino]

Everything the castle does is a dick move. But you'll learn.

[originalcopy]

Yeah, I'm getting that feeling.

Do we get any warning about this enforced love fest?

[ino]

I just gave you one.

[originalcopy]

[There is a hint of annoyance in his voice. Not that he doesn't annoy easy or anything.]

Like a specific date... you know, so I can stay the hell away from the weirdness.

[ino]

[sorry church, this girl is a bit of a troll]

When the decoration of the castle changes, you'll know it's coming.

[originalcopy]

Oh gee thanks, that's real helpful.

[ino]

Do you know what Christmas is?

[originalcopy]

This is some sort of Christmas thing?

[ino]

Yes. There's some sort of tradition where you kiss under the mistletoe, right? It comes from that, I think.

[originalcopy]

That's not supposed to be how that works.

[ino]

Yeah, well. Magical castle, remember?

[originalcopy]

Yeah well, magical castle can kiss my ass. I'll stay in my room.

[ino]

Do you really think nobody else has tried that?

[originalcopy]

Shit...

[ino]

Let me put it this way. I've been here for almost six years now -- when I say there's a pretty low chance of you being able to avoid getting kissed, it's probably true.

[originalcopy]

Hoo-fuckin'-ray

[ino]

Come on, you can't tell me you haven't seen some cute girls since you got here.

[originalcopy]

Sorry, I'm spoken for.

[ino]

Eh? Really?

What about your girlfriend, then? Is she here?

[originalcopy]

Yeah really, there something wrong with that?

[His tone goes from defensive to a bit sullen]

No... no, she's not here.

[ino]

No, there's nothing wrong with it! It's nice.

[aww :( she sounds sympathetic]

Sorry to hear that.

[originalcopy]

Don't be...

[Church emotional self-defense super-jerk powers activate]

... hell, I'm better off with here not here. The castle gives me plenty of other things to fuck up my day.

[ino]

[lucky for him, she knows plenty of his type :')]

Still, I hope she shows up soon! I know I'd be pretty sad if my boyfriend left.

[bitter laugh is bitter]

Sorry, she left me first.
