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~ ♥

*gasp* Really?!

Yep! People usually get stuff like pets or cars or robots or whatever.

Oooh! I want a pony! Or... a mermaid!
But mostly a pony.

... Do you have either of those things at home?

Well... no.

But I probably would have gotten them at some point!

You would have gotten a mermaid as a present? [poor mermaid ...]

Well, everyone tells me they don't exist, but I see movies about them all the time.

[ ... she wants to argue that, and say that usually movies are fake, but .... pretty much everything she's seen in a movie has happened here at some point]

Still, mermaids have brains. It's a little insulting to be given to someone as a present, right?

But I thought all pets had brains.

Yes, but -- what I'm saying is that mermaids can actually think like people do.

So it would be like having a person for a pet?

Well, in that case, I'd want to have a mermaid for a friend instead!

Well, that works, I guess ...

Ooh! What are you gonna wish for for Christmas?

Um ... I guess just to have my friends with me? I don't really need anything else.

Low maintenance, huh? At least it'll be easy for Santa or the ghosts.

You'd be surprised how high maintenance that is around here.

Why? Are none of your friends here?

Oh, no, lots of them are! It's just that people go home so often, it's hard to say if they'll all still be here by Christmas.

If they do go home, why not just go with them?

[ ..... ]

How long have you been here?

Um...

[There's a pause as she stops to count on her fingers.]

Four months.

You've been here for four months and you don't know that we can't leave?

Oh, riiiiight!

I guess I forgot about that.

[wow ... london slkjaskld LMAO ino just sighs]

Well. That's why I can't do that.

Plus most of my friends here all come from different places, so even if I could do that it's not like I could just pick one.

So, you're wishing that no one disappears? That works just as well, I guess.
