Rudeth grinned, taking Aritha by the hand and pulling her off onto the dance floor. Then something occurred to him, and he paused. "'Since we broke up'?" he asked curiously. "You don't mean Zephyros, do you? I thought he was, y'know. Gay."
The mistletoe was zipping around, searching for targets. Maybe if he was lucky he could manage to guide Aritha under one of them...

Notos stuck his tongue out and pretended to gag, watching the two depart. And FROSTBITE from SNOW? Even Notos knew that wasn't possible. He rolled his eyes and went in search of someone else to socialize with.
And he found her sitting on a throne at the far end of the gym. Notos' smile widened. Hopefully that really expensive looking dress wouldn't be too ruined after a little snow.
Creeping up as close as he could through the crowd he squatted down and begun to make a small army of snowballs. When they were done he rose up a little bit, posing himself to run. Next he made all of the snowballs rise up, he didn't have long. The air he controlled was fairly warm. Notos took in a breath and then sent them flying towards her.
A barrage of snowballs slammed into Veronique, most mainly water by the time the hit.

Hoshi smiled, glancing up at the little whirring sprig of mistletoe above their heads. "Smoke did the initial enchanting, though I believe the headmistress has some control over them," he replied. "They're stubborn little things, you know. It's probably going to continue following us around for the rest of the night."

Aritha shook her head, "We were together oh... five years ago? Six, maybe. He's bisexual... though to be honest, he's probably just Jason-sexual now. He's more like my brother than anything, though. We really were too young to be truly going out."
She grinned as a sprig of mistletoe swooped close and nearly hit Rudeth in the head. Giggling, she leaned forward and gestured at it. "Well?"

Rudeth grinned. "Well, I guess we don't have any choice, do we? We had better send it on its way." Rudeth leaned down and gave Aritha a swift kiss.

Aritha didn't let it stay just a short kiss. Her arms still wrapped around his neck, she held him close for a kiss that was probably long enough to get them in trouble if it went ANY longer. Pulling away at exactly the moment that would have pushed the kiss into the trouble-zone, she smiled at him and put her head on his shoulder.
"That should have satisfied that one, hm? Maybe we should look for another one," she giggled, still probably a bit closer than the staff would like but not so close that it was... inappropriate. After all, she didn't even know Rudeth well enough for that.

Ellie looked up at the mistletoe, one eyebrow arched. "Well then, Hoshi," her grin became mischievous, "I'm curious." She stepped closer to Hoshi. "Tell me, how does the enchantment work, exactly?"

Veronique had been blissfully watching the dance from her throne, high above the dance floor. The mistletoe zipped around the dance floor, harassing happy couples and awkward "We're just friends, damn it" couples alike.
And then the wall of slush and ice and water splashed down from above, soaking through her her expensive gown. Veronique shot up from her seat, turning around.
"Notos!" she spat. "Salop! Vas-tu faire foutre! What the hell do you think you are doing, you disgusting scab?"

Notos laughed,the French lessons had payed off. "Bitch? Only for you Vero" He yelled to her.
He created his wind disks and step-stoned across them up to Veronique on her throne. He leaned in very close. "And as for "fucking myself"... well that's really not the sort of thing a teacher should promote." He smiled widely.

Rudeth pulled back, giving her a goofy-looking grinning and looking somewhat dazed. He held his arms around her, swaying slightly to the music.
"If you like, but I think it might start avoiding us after so long," he replied. "I'm sure Smoke accounted for that when he enchanted them. Thought it's not like we have to have an excuse." Rudeth leaned in and gave her a soft peck on the lips.
Rudeth really hoped his mom wasn't watching him or something. If she decided they were getting a little too friendly and came to "chaperone" them, that could get very embarrassing very fast.

Hoshi's lips thinned in a smile. "Well," he mused, "they're specifically enchanted to move around the dance floor at random and hover over a person until someone kisses them. Or until the headmistress decides to make them move on to someone else, which I doubt she would in any case."
They could also easily be banished by nearly any of the mages, at least the professors, but Hoshi certainly wasn't going to mention that to Ellie.

"Well, who would you say it's floating over?" Ellie tilted her head back to watch the sprig of mistletoe spiral overhead. "Because from what you've told me," she teased, "that particular detail dictates who does the actual kissing."

Suddenly, the mistletoe above the heads of Hoshi and Ellie wavered back and forth, shivered, and burst into a sticky rainbow confetti-goo.

Aritha giggled, kissing him back, "You're probably right. It's a pity Zeph left, I could talk him into making them come over."
Looking around, she bit her lip, "Look at poor Professor Dion. He'd managed to ignore it for the almost-fight, but now he's still trying to chase off that mistletoe that's attached itself to him. Pity we can't just hijack that one."
She resisted the urge to kiss him again, fearing that some teacher might come over and separate them. The Headmistress was busy with Notos, and some of the teachers were barely paying attention, but there were still the ones who would notice and come do something about it and those were the ones she was worried about. Just hugging Rudeth was enough, at least for now. Any more kissing should probably wait for mistletoe.
"We don't have to wait, but we probably don't want to attract attention eith-" Aritha gasped when the mistletoe blew up, covering her mouth as she giggled, "Apparently you don't want to keep them waiting."

Smoke came down from the dais where he had been talking to Vero and watching the proceedings and headed over towards Hoshi and Ellie. He looked over the goo, looked at the space the mistletoe had been, and quirked an eyebrow.
"That really was not supposed to do that." An odd smell reached him; he reached over and got a bit of the goo from Hoshi's cheek with his finger. Lick.
"...Mint jelly?"

"Really?" Ellie's eyebrows rose, her grin quirking. She wiped some of the goo from the corner of Hoshi's mouth, sampled it, and giggled. "It is! And rather delicious, too."

Hoshi shifted his weight from one leg to the other somewhat uncomfortably. "Well," he mused, "I honestly can't say I've ever seen mistletoe do that before."
It occurred to Hoshi that he might want to mention the little scene earlier to Smoke later, at least if he didn't already know. He probably would be interested in the strange coincidence...

Ellie bit her lip. Awkward Hoshi is adorable. "Maybe it didn't appreciate our little debate," she commented.

Kazari took a sip of her coacoa, pausing to adjust the hem of her dress-- a comfortable solid black number that could probably stand to be a few inches longer. But oh well-- no one had complained about it. Except for Gussu. Where was he, anyway?

Diana smiled as Vincent led her in a dance, twirling her gracefully around the snow-covered floor. It didn't really matter that she couldn't hear the music -- she seemed to be keeping up well enough without it. At least she wasn't stepping on his toes.
She watched as a sprig of mistletoe approached them, bobbing up and down around their heads. Persistent little things, they were.

The doors of the gym swung open at once; the snow blew back in artful whirls and knocked around several sprigs of mistletoe. Two sprigs clapped together and exploded over the heads of several students, and one began reproducing at a slow but uncomfortably exponential rate.
A dark figure stepped into the room, cloak sweeping the floor, with dark leather gloves and a dark hood from which nothing was visible but part of a soft cream-colored face, ruby lips, and a strange green-and-silver blindfold.
The small creature steepled its fingers and cackled. "Nya-ha-ha-HEE!" It walked forward, past a few lingering groups of students, towards the dais, and then stopped.
It bowed its head forward and surreptitiously tugged the blindfold down just a smidge, peering out over what looked suspiciously like a high school Christmas party.
"Mrr," it mumbled. "Kimai thinks it took a wrong turn somewhere... this is most egregiously not the Reichstag and possibly not even Berlin."

Diana stopped in mid-twirl, looking out at the strange figure who had entered the room. Its size became apparent as it passed through groups of people -- it looked barely five feet tall, and it was dressed in a long, hooded robe and gloves.
Diana watched curiously as it stepped up to the dais, then turned and looked out across the room. It seemed to be speaking, but she couldn't read its lips from that distance. Who or what on earth was it, and what was it doing here?

"Notos, you swine, if you don't--"
Veronique caught sight of the small fuzzy figure, her eyebrow shooting up her forehead. "What the hell...?" she muttered. Veronique grabbed Notos by the shoulder and slung him out of her way, descending the stairs. If this was another trick of Lhachlhass'...
"You there. Explain yourself!" she called.

Kimai stood up and faced the clear female voice. The back of its robe swished slightly as it thought, and then it swept its hand forward in a deep bow.
"Kimai regrets that it has not been introduced to this Queen of the Ball. It offers its services in whatever regard deemed necessary in return for succor, and possibly knowing where it is."

Veronique's eyebrow ascended higher onto her forehead. What on earth...?
"You can start by explaining who you are and what you are doing here," she commanded. "Then I will consider not throwing you back into the void from whence you came."
