[ Karkat sees this mistletoe. and this his his reaction EVERY TIME he catches sight of one. well see icon for that.

just going to walk in the opposite direction. ]

[blackestheart]

[Nope, before he can bail there's a hand grabbing his arm and pulling him back under it.

Gamzee is having no absconding here, this human tradition is too fun. Karkat gets arms around his shoulders and a kiss to his cheek with smeared facepaint before he even has a chance to protest.]

[wontturntostone]

[Kanaya is just passin through a doorway when she nearly walks into Karkat, as her attention is turned up towards the mistletoe hanging there. Were the kissing plants in every space in this building? She was starting to think they were terrible. She's coming back from the bathroom, having spent more time than she was prepared to concede washing horrible clown paint off her lips, and she's honestly relieved to see Karkat there, giving him a bit of a smile.]

Karkat! Sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going.

[papshooshing]

[ yeah, yeah they are just about everywhere and Karkat is going nuts internally. KISSING ISN'T REALLY HIGH ON HIS LIST OF 'THINGS I WANT TO DO.'

but it's not so bad running into Kanaya. ]

You distracted or something?

[wontturntostone]

Ah, yes. I-[She hesitates, and then shakes her head. No sense worrying him.] It doesn't matter. Are you enjoying the party?

[usedshooshpap]

[ squinting! but not really going to press the matter. ]

As much as I can, I guess.

[wontturntostone]

[A little nod. About the best answer she could really expect from him, probably.] It's fascinating meeting everyone, and the humans from the other universe...

[But her smile turns a bit sour.] Although the building is something of an obstacle course, isn't it. [Indicating the mistletoe above them.]

[usedshooshpap]

[ there are other things on his mind as well... but that's neither here nor there. ] I really don't care about them. Or any of our ancestors slash decedents.

[ but that's just Karkat. 8T he looks up and just shrugs. being caught under it with Kanaya isn't really all that bad. he's kissed her corpse, man. ]

I was trying to find them all earlier, but that didn't really work out, huh?

[wontturntostone]

[Kanaya hesitates.] They are very nice, Karkat. [A beat.] Our ancestors are not here, are they?

[Remembering how flustered she got around Porrim, well...]

I believe some of the pokemon are moving the mistletoe around when we are not watching. I saw a bird carrying some from one room to another earlier.]

[papshooshing]

Does it look like I care if they're nice or not? I have good friends that I miss, thanks.

[ he just shakes his head. there are no ancestors here. Kanaya has nothing to worry about.

instead Karkat returns to the case of the moving mistletoe. ]

Oh they are. Given John's infatuation with ghost-types, is there really any doubt that there are some here that would do that?

[wontturntostone]

That doesn't prevent you from making additional friends, Karkat. There isn't actually an upper limit on those.

[Such a crabby crab.]

I didn't know there were a lot of ghost types around. [She is never going to be used to this.]

[papshooshing]

I am a fucking social Butterfree, thank you very much Kanaya.

ANYWAY. Yes. There are plenty of ghost types available to those that would like to collect them. Most are pranksters.

[wontturntostone]

Why do I find that so hard to believe?

[She nods.]

One of yours is a ghost, I believe?

[Talking about ghosts like it's perfectly normal. Oy.]

[papshooshing]

You didn't see my gift list.

[ it's pretty long, given that this is Karkat. and huh... Karkat has one ghost type... ]

Nicole and David are my only two, I think.

[shadowdive]

[Boyfriendo has a different plan, now that someone told him what these plants are for. At least, he'll catch Karkat over in a corner, rather than in a doorway. Sneaking up behind him and curling an arm around his shoulders, Vanitas wiggles a collected mistletoe in front of him.]

Hey.

[usedshooshpap]

[ oh god Vanitas why. Karkat huffs, pushing the plant away. ]

Not you too...

[shadowdive]

I at least waited till you wandered into a corner out of the line of fire. [Wiggles the mistletoe some more, before handing it to him for his collection of removal. Vani is still going to sneak a soft kiss to the temple.

Other kisses are still supposed to be private!]

[usedshooshpap]

[ well. he can't exactly get mad about that. Karkat sighs, lightly giving Vanitas an elbow to the gut just to be a brat. ]

Yeah... I'll give you that.

[shadowdive]

[That elbow in the gut earns a nip at the ear, snorting and huffing.] So, come on. Mistletoe demands kisses.

[usedshooshpap]

No. I'm not doing anything because some fucking plant dictates it. I am also not making myself out to be like the other foolish idiots here that have decided to engage in such actions.

[shadowdive]

Then how about I want one? [For his sake, Vani tosses the mistletoe over his shoulder then.]

[papshooshing]

I'll give you all the makeouts you want. When we're back at our place.

[shadowdive]

[That makes his eyebrow quirk up, before side-eyeing.] All that I want, huh.

[usedshooshpap]

That's what I said. Going deaf?

[shadowdive]

I'm holding you to that later. [Still going to steal a small kiss to his temple anyway, but Vani is grinning wide with a mischievous glint in his eyes.]
