Oh, ho, the mistletoe! (Oh no, the mistletoe!)
Hello Sinners! I've got a winter/holiday city-wide event for you and your characters to enjoy and/or suffer through! Looks like the City is hungry for some Christmas Cheer this year and NO ONE CAN ESCAPE. (Just kidding you can opt out if you really want to.)
Starting a week before Christmas day, (December 18th IC, January 6th OOC) enchanted mistletoe will appear in random places around the city, hung in doorways, hallways, under traffic lights, anywhere high enough that people can easily walk under. This mistletoe can be destroyed or removed, but will grow back in the same or nearby spot within 4-8 hours, and it seems the more that is destroyed the more comes back in the general vicinity. Like a Hydra you cut off a head, two grow in its place. Have fun playing with that mechanic!
When two people stand under this mistletoe at the same time, even if just passing through at the same time, each character will get the unavoidable urge to either kiss or hug the other character. What kind of kiss or hug is up to each character and player but it can’t be resisted. Hooray!
There will also be new snowfall starting the same day the mistletoe appears. This snow will also be enchanted and perfect for snowballs and snowman making. When exposed (by touch) to this enchanted snow, characters will feel a sense of playfulness and wonder as well as a warmth that brings good memories of past holidays or traditions of family and friends to their mind. How characters react or respond to this is up to you and them, but the purpose is to give them something that makes them generally happy (even if bittersweet) and festive.
Everything is back to normal come Christmas morning, except each character upon waking will find a wrapped present addressed to them nearby containing an item from home. This will be an item that should bring generally positive feelings to your character, even if complex. It shouldn’t be something that brings too much angst. Good will and cheer and all that jazz.
Any questions, ask below in the comments!
Please also reply to the gift request thread to clear said gifts with our mod!
