[Batgirl (in costume and everything!) is just finishing putting up the last bit of mistletoe on the entrance to the pokemon center.]

[Wally would be in costume, but it sort of got blown up, and he hasn't gotten around to fixing it. So, instead, he is dressed as a very festive elf, pixie shoes and all (and he's got his goggles on, as usual).

He comes running from around the corner to meet up with Steph and holds out his hand for a high five.]

I think Goldenrod has been sufficiently decked. Fa la la la la, la la la la.

[The highest of fives!]

We've done good, Kid Elf. We've done good.

[chemistryinmotion]

We don't have to actually kiss, do we? [They are standing right under the mistletoe, after all.] I mean, not that I wouldn't want to kiss you or anything—I did try to hit on you that one time—but, you know, kinda taken and all that.

[Ed's out and about. He's got his Pokemon outside in a nice patch of snow off the street and letting them play in the snow. Aurum the Pikachu and Rain the Blastoise are making snow-Pokemon. His other two Pokemon don't seem fond of the snow, and are n their Pokeballs. Is that mistletoe on a nearby streetlamp?]

Derp, sorry for not coming here sooner D;

[Christmas shopping, Winry's doing lots of it! And sometimes she goes alone because presents are supposed to be a secret until the day... Yeah. So, she's out with her pokemon too, letting all the dogs play together - except Luxray and Houndoom are staying close to her right now.

And Christmas songs are catchy! She's humming al--- WHAT'S ED DOING THERE?! Uh oh. Well, he can't know what she's carrying in those bags. Good. Luxray migth know, with her super x-ray vision but Luxray is totally on Winry's side on this.

She approaches her boyfriend just under the streetlamp.]

You know, it's always weird seeing you alone... Unless you're looking for some presents for Al! [Or Mustang. Would he let anyone know it? What's this first line anyway? Go team Winry! Argentum the Poochyena tries making snow-Poochyenas too!]

S'ok!

[fullmetalbro.livejournal.com]

Huh? [He hops up from rolling a ball of snow. It's about half his size. They're trying to make an Onyx.]

Oh, no. I haven't got anything yet. [He walks up to her and tries to peek in a bag.] Looks like you've been out. [Aurum comes over now and sneaks behind Winry to peek in a bag.]

[themechotaku.livejournal.com]

[Staring at that ball of snow.] Don't drown into the snow, okay? [Grin! It's not even a short joke. She just knows how much you like badass and tough looking stuff, so of course giant snow balls count to that too!]

Hmm. Doesn't surprise me... [because you always just improvise something great which is cool, but not Winry's style.

...Oh, that plan won't work! Winry hides everything that you might see.] Hey, no peeking into my bags, dummy! There might be something for you too, but it's not a surprise if you do that. [Luxray is staring at you, Aurum, and it's not a friendly stare.]

[As part of magical Team Christmas, America has... really gone out with putting up mistletoe and other decorations up all over Goldenrod. In fact, he seems rather proud of himself when he puts up the last of his batch, smiling up at it proudly.

He's not in this for himself though, he just wants to help people realise their ~feelings~ and to see the wonders of love - maybe get a happy ending.

It's all Disneyfied in his head, to be honest. Which is why the last of his mistletoe is hung up in the middle of an arch way, somewhere in town. It's a really nice spot too, so he's pretty happy with this one.]

[ What has two thumbs and gives approximately half a fuck about the mistletoe (a tiny part of him thinks it's kind of cute)? This guy. Holland's been spending part of the afternoon looking for good deals at the department store and he's seen a lot of these things in all sorts of locations.

He arches an eyebrow at a... mistletoe hanging from a mistletoe hanging from a mistletoe hanging from the ceiling. It's like inception with mistletoe. ]

... Somebody must've been bored.

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{Nanao is keeping very far away from all mistletoe as physically possible. Which is a fun game, when one thinks about it.}

Apparently so. Maybe they had a surplus of mistletoe?

[drugsbeleid.livejournal.com]

Maybe. I've seen 'em all over the place.

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

I suppose some people take the silly season a bit too far.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

[ Rise may be one of the few people who isn't weirded out and/or horrified by all the festive kiss-inducing greenery. In fact, she's looking rather delighted by it.

Currently, she's standing under a mistletoe-bedecked awning, head tilted back to admire it properly. ]

I wonder if I could borrow a few...

[areyouderpy.livejournal.com]

Rise-chaaaan! [Guess who's going to come up behind you now, Rise? That's right--- Ittoki's reaching out to cover your eyes from behind too, cheerfully oblivious to the mistletoes above.]

Guess who?

[restardom.livejournal.com]

[ she definitely knows the voice, though the sudden darkness catches her by surprise-- if the startled noise she makes is any indication. ]

...

[ but she wouldn't be Rise if she didn't have a fast recovery time. ]

Gee, I'm not sure...

[areyouderpy.livejournal.com]

I'll let you have three guesses then. Do you think you can do it? [So cheerful today, isn't he? He's in a splendid mood, at least.]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

[How about just staring at the nearest mistletoe?]

[HE DOESN'T TRUST CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS.]

[thefourthtry.livejournal.com]

[Have one purple superhero, at your service!]

It won't bite, promise.

I should know. I helped decorate.

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes, that's what everyone thought about the Christmas trees before they started spinning and trying to kill people while singing a cheery little tune.

But well, I suppose at that size the worst mistletoe can do is growl at you. Especially if it's stuck to a doorway.

[thefourthtry.livejournal.com]

And even then, I think we're safe.

This place seems to do a good job of taking any powers, abilities, and fun away from, well, everything.

[Robin really didn't know much about what was going on with the whole holiday cheer thing, seeing as he was too busy helping Gorthan with his experiments and keeping his cover to really notice it was even Christmas.]

[But then he got another coded text from Wally, and managed to steal away for the next couple hours if necessary to see what the meeting was about.]

[He does not know that he is currently standing under some semi-hidden mistletoe. Nor does he really care.]

[chemistryinmotion]

[Wally has been strategically avoiding the mistletoe all day, but, given that he only put up about 1/4 of it, he's got a 75% chance of actually running into some, so he's been pretty careful. He doesn't want to end up under any accidentally with someone who might actually want to take part in the whole tradition.

To say the least, he doesn't notice the plant hanging above Robin. The completed motorcycle with a giant red bow on it is much more important, after all. Don't ask where he managed to find a giant red bow. Also, yes, he is still wearing the elf costume, minus the goggles.]

Behold. [And he's looking very proud of himself.] Took a little longer than I thought, but she's all yours now.

[hackintheaster.livejournal.com]

[Annndddddd have a seriously blown away Robin. Seriously. His eyes are blown pretty wide behind those shades of his, and he's definitely grinning as he leans down to check out his new bike.]

Dude, she's beautiful. You built this from scratch?

[Nope, he's still not noticing the mistletoe hanging right above them. Not at all.]

[chemistryinmotion]

[Wally's basically beaming at this point.]

Yup, from scratch. Me and my dad work on bikes in our spare time back home. He kind of went through a mid-life crisis a few years ago and started bringing home fixer-uppers since Mom wouldn't let him buy a new one, and since he doesn't get science at all, I started helping out. And, you know, I learn super fast, so we were building bikes in no time.

Guess I finally got to put those skills to good use, huh?

[Nope, Wally still hasn't noticed it either.]
