[His mom is just perfect ok, there's no one better to have come from. Don't worry he won't laugh...much.]

[And it all stops at that half-cackle that he's rapidly getting used to hearing. Dave's hands fall to his sides as he peers upward.]

There is no way on this planet that's going to happen. There are some things traditions are not to be interfering with. The bro code is one of these because A sister's fiance. B, nadda. C, nope. D, you can't make me. And E, bros don't mack on bros it isn't allowed.

[ghostytrainer]

Exactly what he said!

[Slimer doesn't listen and instead just shakes the mistletoe, laughing again.]

Not happening! Against the bro code. Can't do it. Not today. Not ever.

[Shake shake shake.]

[moveslikestrider]

In fact, let's kick this idea right off a cliff. We were just having a chat and randomly now we're expected to be red on blue? No way. [He folds his arms over his chest and puts on his very best unimpressed face. This is arctic. It will not budge for anyone.]

Not just against the bro code. Can you imagine how this would follow us. We both know Rose and what she'd do. We'd never live it down.

[ghostytrainer]

I'm surprised she hasn't already been magically summoned, video camera in hand, to document this and try and force it to be a thing.

[And in this sweater, it is the absolute last thing he wants.]

[tentacletrainer]

[[Did someone say ~magically summoned~? I think someone did. Someone who does, in fact, have a camera, because she wants to start making scrapbooks. Thank Aradia for that one. But -- ]]

...now what's all this?

[[Look at that cute little grin she's got going on.]]

[moveslikestrider]

[Whatever ramble Dave had been able to go into dies on his lips and he shuts his mouth with a click. He knew it.

Knew it.

His expression manages to stay the same as it was. He looks up at Slimer and points at him.] This is all your fault. All of it. Tonight the bro code is in danger, you can hear the creaking of the sacred words. It's on your ghostly head that this tragedy might come to pass.

I hope you can live with yourself man. I'll be shedding mad tears here.

[ghostytrainer]

[He had to say something. Didn't he? He just had to tempt fate. Slimer starts cackling uncontrollably. He'd be clapping if that didn't involve letting go of the mistletoe. This is a victory. Dave's words mean nothing.]

[John waves a hand in front of Rose's face.]

These aren't the droids you're looking for. Move along.

[tentacletrainer]

As much as I would love to secure this reference with you, John, I am not looking for any droids. Your Jedi mind tricks will not work on me.

[[Just going to snap a picture of his face.]]

I am going to assume by virtue of the fact you two are still standing here beneath that that you have not followed through with tradition yet.

[moveslikestrider]

My lips are virginal, and they're not going to get even remotely brushed by anyone today. Bro code demands I don't touch my best bro like that and really, seriously nadda, nope, hell no, and I was just chatting when the purple marauder here zipped in with this. [He gestures to the situation as a whole. Nope nope nope nope.]

the keywords for this icon are terrible for the context of this thread. yet i keep using it.

[ghostytrainer]

[Okay, new tactic.]

What mistletoe?

[He sees no mistletoe. It must be like those pesky pumpkins that nobody can ever keep track of.]

[tentacletrainer]

John. No one mentioned mistletoe. Your tactic - and don't you try and tell me this wasn't an escape tactic - just backfired on you. Because you most certainly brought attention to the fact that it's mistletoe you are standing under.

[moveslikestrider]

[Dave just covered his face with one hand and sighed. You had one job John. One. Job.] you know if you don't hurry mom is going to down all the hot chocolate. And the cookies and don't give that look I'm serious.

[His voice is flat as his hands drops away. He has two chances here. Fast kiss John and run, or endure and stall until she gets fed up. Guess which option he's digging in his heels to do.]

[ghostytrainer]

[One job and he failed it.]

...Goddammit.

[Please take Dave's bait, Rose. Please. Just got get cookies and cocoa and let's just all pretend that this never happened. Let's all especially forget the part where John failed his one and only job.]

[tentacletrainer]

I can always purchase more cocoa and bake more cookies. I can purchase chocolate too if I really need my fix.
