The vegetable wingman.

[tire_moi_mes_bottes]

Do you know who'd enjoy being trapped by mischievous mistletoe, collecting kisses from pretty girls and others? Do you know who would enjoy making himself a profession of rescuing helpless mistletoe victims?

BOSSUET WOULD DAMNED WELL ENJOY THAT, is who.

But every time he looks up, there's no sprig of greenery above his head, and every time he spots a mistletoe victim, someone else gets there first. (Often, he has noticed, Bahorel.)

Well, that's luck for you, and it's not as though it's the first time a lonely Laigle has taken matters into his own hands. Now he's in the bar with a potted plant, a potted plant with warning signs.

Warning: Do Not Pull The Mandrake Mistletoe.

and then a newer sign

MISTLETOE. It may resemble a mandrake, but I assure you it is mistletoe and it has me in its relentless vegetable grasp.

...which is all very well and good, and he sets it prominently on the bar next to him while he orders a bottle of wine and an extra glass or two. (He also has a book to read, of course. He wouldn't want to look desperate.) But another part of his mind is working away at the (annoying and probably useless) conversation with Hannibal Lecter, and he's got an eye out for anyone he's seen with the man.



((I'm going on slowtimes, but it's still open! OH MAN I'M SORRY, I fell asleep on the couch mid-sentence, back in the saddle today.))

Sam walks blearily through the front door, hauling a suitcase along with her. While she is in uniform, she looks distinctly rumpled. The Bar earns a long, considering look before she decides that a cuppa and some food just might make tonight's bed a bit more comfortable.

Jay comes bouncing up to the bar only to find his feet stuck to the floor, a sprig of mistletoe above him. "Oh you're fucking kidding me! This is revenge for all the sprigs I took down, isn't it?"

He looks around for a friendly face. "Anyone?"

The door to Milliways swings open as Dani enters. What looks like a large white boomerang is tucked under one arm.

She's not sure how effective the BOOmerang is going to be for this task. But after talking to her mom Dani figures it's got to be better than some of her dad's prototypes...

Bonnie had been carrying some things across the bar, when she suddenly found her feet rooted to the floor.

Well that's weird.

She looks up and sees the mistletoe above her head.

The circle of chairs is out in one corner of the bar.

On the table are a selection of delicious but slightly deformed baked goods, and a large collection of things to make greetings cards with, if anyone wants a little bit of craft therapy.
