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.]

but partially?

[doggedly]

we-ell

if youre asking if i used magic to modify some plants i found in the gardens so that they resembled mistletoe
and then as something of a prank made them with eyes and teeth and a zest for seeing some good snogging
and then they grew a great deal faster than anticipated WHICH COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ANYONE



then yes
partially
yes

[ It takes a moment to respond because Gwen's laughing. ]

... wow

that's an incredible use of magic

um. even if it backfired on you

[doggedly]

well it didnt backfire per se not so much as it did grow very enthusiastically
certainly it didnt backfire on me
ive not kissed anyone i didnt want to kiss already



speaking of rescue do you need rescue

(& thank you for the compliment)

[timeisluck]

well, tiny victories in that, i guess lol

i'm okay! i actually haven't seen these out of control mistletoe plants and if my luck remains, i won't have to

[doggedly]

well they arent THAT bad

i mean theyre only mistletoe
how awful can a kiss be
dont answer that ive had some awful kisses in my life im sure you have as well
i mean it more philosophically

[timeisluck]

haha, no you're right

a kiss isn't so bad by its root definition

but if one of the solutions is to set it on fire? i can't help but think that it sounds like a pretty scary mistletoe plant

[doggedly]

not scary! just zealous
over zealous maybe


but are you trying to make a joke there
root definition
plants have got roots
root of kisses, etc etc joke things

[timeisluck]

lol

caught that, did you? :P

[doggedly]

come on give me some credit
im a LITTLE clever at least

[timeisluck]

no, you're right

clever enough to make mistletoe have a ... what did you say, 'zest for seeing some good snogging' anyway

[doggedly]

precisely
and its not everyone that could be so clever you know

one of my mates is always aruging with me on science vs magic but id like to see science create such a zest

[timeisluck]

well science has its merits too

i wouldn't simply put it down just like that

sure it can't create 'zest' quite the same way but it can be just as clever and just as exciting

[doggedly]

really
how so
