so if you see something that looks like mistletoe growing in the corner of your doorway
or elsewhere

DONT LET IT SEE YOU
DONT APPROACH IT especially with company
GET AWAY FROM IT or else set it on fire
carefully on fire
ill be along to take care of it later


thanks



[as part of the aftermath of space christmas, there may be some vicious mistletoe hanging around in certain doorways. some of it bites, and some of it growls, and some of it pursues you until you kiss the person you ran into on your way into the kitchen. classic wizard mistletoe prank gone slightly awry but also it's still funny. mistletoe began concentrated mostly on level 5, but it's spread itself upwards and downwards. and into the SEC offices. and elsewhere. feel free to say that you have been assaulted or do some threads of being assaulted in this post/your inboxes/useful log created for this purpose.]

Oh my God-

[doggedly]

Sorry! I said sorry! It hasn't actually got that many teeth, so you'll be all right.

[invisibilitea]

Does it turn you into, you know-

Were-mistletoe, or something-

[doggedly]

What? No.

Er. Probably no.

[invisibilitea]

Probably, yes, well, I'll make sure to tell my boyfriend, yes, sweetheart, it's fine, I'll probably not turn into an angry parasite that makes people kiss once a month-

[Even she can hear how much she sounds like George though so-]

Sorry, sorry, it's fine. Really.

[doggedly]

Yeah, only-- how would that even work? What bits of you would go planty?

And they aren't parasites, thanks. They're mistletoe. Honestly. The accelerated reproduction of 'em doesn't mean parasitic.

[invisibilitea]

How should I know you're the one who...grew it?

Mistletoe is a parasite.

[doggedly]

All right, yeah, they're a parasite, but I didn't do parasitic creatures. I gave them life. It's different.

I mean, burn the life out of 'em, yeah, but don't insult them.

[invisibilitea]

Honestly? It bites me and you draw the line at insults?

[doggedly]

They're not really necessary. That's all I'm saying.

And I did apologise for the biting.

[invisibilitea]

...yes, all right. Let's not, you know, let it happen again.

[doggedly]

Wasn't planning on it.

[a beat.]

Well, until next Space Christmas, of course.

[invisibilitea]

....I hope someone has got your number.

[doggedly]

Happy Christmas to you too!
