I hope y'all have at least brushed your goddamn teeth.

[ Legal, sure, but she's still young. Thank god for no wandering hands, though, he'd probably have a heart attack. ]

Yeah, probably.

[ There's a glare up at the awning. The mistletoe doesn't even have the decency to look frightened. ]

[That wand is back, of course, drawn behind her back and flicked again as she levels a glare at the mistletoe, too. It bursts into flames and ash a second later, of course. Oops.]

First curse?

[mintjulep]

[ ...spontaneously combusting mistletoe.

He's just. Going to focus on her again. ]

Well, there was the Christmas music.

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, isn't it funny how things just... spontaneously combust...]

I reckon that was bound to happen, anyway. It can get fairly festive around here.

[mintjulep]

[ He's just chalking it up to the City being weird. ]

That's true. Suppose this one sort of counts as the first I've been directly involved in.

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

[Safest answer to everything.]

It was my first too, a while back.

[mintjulep]

What a welcome.

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

Better than the other options.

[She resettles her bags in her arms as the memory of last year's mistletoe curse comes to her—and who she'd kissed with another armful of gifts.]

A friend of mine—he went home a few months ago, though—he arrived on a day people kept trying to decapitate other people. Now that's a welcome.

[mintjulep]

... Why the hell were people tryin' to decapitate other people?

[ And he can't even stay inside if that starts happening. Perils of being a doctor. ]

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

Curse.

[She frowns at him briefly.]

This place doesn't need much reason to do anything. But if it makes you feel better, I don't think anyone properly died.

[mintjulep]

Did the curse just have everyone decidin' they didn't like heads attached to necks?

[ Though yes, that does make him feel better. ]

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

I reckon so. Though whether that's better or worse than being turned into the opposite gender...

[mintjulep]

Worse. [ Obviously he needs to be turned into a lady at some point so Ginny can remind him of this. ]

When you wake up with the wrong bits one day, I'll get back to you on that better/worse thing.

[mintjulep]

I'll just have to try an' avoid that particular one.

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

Good luck, mate. I got hit with that one a few weeks after I arrived. As if my family didn't have enough blokes as it is.

[mintjulep]

I suspect I'll need it. Hopefully these things don't decide to repeat themselves just for me.

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

Hopefully. Seems like the mistletoe's about the most consistent curse I've seen.

[mintjulep]

Just in December, right?

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

Mistletoe's not really an August thing, so yeah, I'd hope so.
