GRAND PRIZE!!!
Forceful Mistletoe
It is a very well known custom of Christmas cheer, that any two person who came across each other under a hanging mistletoe is obliged to kiss. Though a lot of people do it for the Christmas spirit, ultimately everyone has the power and rights to deny a kiss. But this particular mistletoe is different. As if having a will of it's own to stick to tradition, it forces any two person that met underneath it to kiss, regardless of sex and age. Kyou accidentally walked beneath it with an old lady once, and was overcame by a strange yet strong urge to kiss her. And kissed he did, unfortunately for Kyou, but fortunately for the old lady because she seemed quite delighted. And this is how Kyou found this peculiar mistletoe.[.01] Do not flame or harass anyone in the thread. And do not whine if you weren't accepted.

[.05] PM your finished reply to Anachrophobia, NOT Kyoupiruchi or Chrystali!
Tip: You don't have to respond to Alex or Zul. There's plenty to do - take a look at the floor plan if you need some ideas, or read over the set up again. However, if you do want to respond to the Guardian and/or the Raevan, feel free to do so, either simply or with a hint of power! And remember, Mistletoe doesn't make people lovey-dovey. Be original, be creative, and above all, have fun!
Who: You, Alex & Zul
When: Shortly before noon; Christmas Eve
Where: Lab 305, Lobby
Weather: Crisp, blue skies, snow blankets the ground...
[
Lab Floor Plan ]
Christmas had come to the Lab.
The lobby was transformed into a Winter Wonderland: hand-cut snowflakes smattered with glitter wafted from the ceiling bound by thin thread, the ceiling itself swathed in dark fabric in a parody of night, complete with rhinestone stars; silver tinsel barricaded the hallway leading into the Lab, the sparkling decoration made to zig-zag across the room, the lengths draped with candy canes, ornaments and well placed mistletoe; even the floor was blanketed with fake snow, the white furniture similarly dusted upon and accented with green and red throw-pillows and tinsel. Space heaters were placed inobtrusively throughout the room, beneath end tables and those laden with food, to ensure warmth in the popular places of conversation. A full-sized and wholly decorated Christmas tree rounded out the ensemble in the corner closest to the cafeteria doors, aglow with soft white lights that cast a gentle light over the presents beneath.
The reception area had been transformed into a corner buffet. Honey-baked ham to ambrosia salad, candied yams to cheesecake, fresh vegetables to mints, pretzels and candies galore were put out for consumption, pitchers of warm cider, hot cocoa, coffee and good ol' fashioned water near by. All manner of homemade treats dotted any open space, peppermint fudges and cashew peanut brittle lending to the sweet array.
Somehow, Alex and Zul didn't quite fit into the festive decorations.
The woman wore a red...contraption that could very well have been a corset, stitched up the front with black lacing and lined in white fur, leaving her arms and collar bare. Black jeans ended in the soft fold of coal-black boots best suited for Santa, as well as the Jolly One's hat askew on her let-down hair. Why Alex was wearing so little when there was snow outside was anyone's guess, but she looked comfortable enough as she finished setting up a music player that immediately began to play "Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire."
Zul looked like he got into a fight with a Christmas tree and lost. His curved horns supported an array of ornaments; even his piercings in his ears and wings had been swapped out for elaborate trinkets adorned with red jewels. The front of his gorget was affixed with a hoop and a bell that attached to it, although his floating and lack of jarring movements failed to stir the golden bauble. Tinsel of varying colors wrapped around his arms and wrists; one long piece was tied next to the bell like some odd type of leash in its unfinished splendor. The demon hummed with the music as he put the finishing touches on the tree.
"Hey," Alex commented, turning and fixing the new Raevan with a wide grin. "You made it! You're--" she checked the time, "--way early, but phew, we're glad to see you! Wouldn't be Christmas without you." The woman laughed good-naturedly, giving the newborn a wink as she approached, pausing a short ways and putting one hand on her hip. "I'm Alex, and," she hooked her thumb towards her charge, "this is--"
"Zul." The demon was all wide grin and sparkling blue eyes, placing his hand over his half-formed chest and bowing, earning a light tinkling from the bell. "Nice to meet you."

My best friend gave me the best advice~
BE ORIGINAL. It may be easiest to say that you don't smoke, you've never touched alcohol in your life and you have a spacious home. You may or may not have noticed by now, but we don't necessarily favor easy. ;D Be CREATIVE. Answer the questions or describe your prompts in a creative and unique manner! Rather than tell us you're a stalwart provider who eats three meals a day, tell us that you're a hippie with no real fantastic profession who chews on wheat as a habit. Additionally, be original in how you respond to the prompts! It may be common to say that the Mistletoe Raevan can force people to kiss, but give us some insight, some bit of information that will make you stand out and above the rest!
BE REAL. While being a hippie is all well and good, do make sure you have some means to support the Raevan! We're not looking for a pretty underaged thing to apply (really, you can't be a legal guardian if you're not legal yourself!), but we ARE looking for someone who - through conventional means or otherwise - can support another living creature. This goes both monetarily and emotionally! We know people have difficult pasts, but don't let it get in the way of developing your Guardian to be the most they can be!
BE FUN. We want you to be responsible, but we don't want you to have a stick somewhere either. So you work, but are you a doctor-to-be or do you work street-side carnivals? Is your idea of a good time a party or do you like to scale mountains? Do you like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch or do you prefer egg salad with a helping of tabasco sauce and a side of onions? We like to see new and interesting reactions to old and worn questions, so wow us with your Guardian's sense of fun and flare!
Ohnoes! The mistletoe had gone missing from the front page! Where did it went??!
MISTLETOE FLATSALE ROUND 2!! MISTLETOE HUNT!!!!
How to play:
It is very simple! You will be given 2-3 questions, for example:
1. Who is the shop owner of Lab [305]?
2. What number comes after 5?
3. An _____ a day keeps the doctor away.
The answers are Kyoupiruchi, 6 and apple. Then using these words/numbers you will form it into a url such as http://skyejuice.com/hunting/kyoupiruchi_6_apple.html (this url does not exist) If you got the wrong url, try again until you get it! Simple enough to understand?
Here are some key guidelines:
- numeric answers will be in numerics. (ie: 5 is 5, not five)
- answers with 2 words or more will not have the space in between. (ie: star wars will be starwars in the url)
- all answers of different questions should be separated with an underscore.
- all answers are not caps.
- base url is http://skyejuice.com/hunt/ (do not go to this url) and must always be followed by .html at the end of the url.
- unlike yesterday, all the questions for this hunt is lab-related.
- all the answers can be found in the main thread, in the guild and other places closely related to Kyou. If you still doesn't know, you can always make guesses.
- There are 41 questions in total.
Questions
Here are your first set of questions to begin the hunt!
1. What is the name of the Raevan born from a Baphomet soul?
2. What is the name of this Xmas event?
