[Raven has just walked out of the flower shop, looking a bit annoyed at the fact they didn't seem to have what he was looking for.]

MISTLETOE!

Why did nobody tell me 'bout that tradition before?! All these years I could've gotten a free kiss from a pretty lady for danglin' a flower over her head, gone to waste!

[lol what? Astro's taken aback by Raven's sudden outburst]

You...really didn't know about Mistletoe, Raven?

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Oh heya kid! Haven't seen ya around in a while.

But no I had no idea about Mistletoe! I overheard some people talkin' about it through the journals, then this guy... damn forgot to ask his name... told old Raven it was true.

It's not that easy.

[voice]

[crisisrain]

If it's not that easy then be my guest at explainin' why.

[Voice]

[cowboykinneas.livejournal.com]

I don't think you saying it like that over the journals will help in the long run.

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Oh well, ya can go about warnin' any new lasses who arrive that might've missed it then.

... mistletoe?

[What is it with the guys here wanting free kisses...?]

I might be able to give you some. But... [He doesn't really approve of what you're trying to do.]

[crisisrain]

You actually have some? Come on, be nice here, it's the festive season~

[goldenglasses]

A dangling flower? I think I've seen some of them around. That's what they're for!? I thought they were just because they're pretty!

[crisisrain]

Well I don't really know what mistletoe looks like, but I've seen a lot of danglin' flowers.

Mr. Raven shouldn't need to use those traditions to get kisses.

And in this place where many people don't know about that tradition it would be far more efficent to go around town with a sign that says "Free kisses for the ladies".

[Still not getting why waste effort in that tradition when all it takes is to ask.]

[crisisrain]

If I walked around the town holdin' a sign like that I can see Rita appearin' outta nowhere to punch me in the face.

By sayin' it's a tradition it'd be rude of them not to oblige!

[aero-dienamic.livejournal.com]

All but one of them.

[crisisrain]

Darlin' everytime I hear ya say that it's like an arrow through my heart.

[inabook]

I don't think that tradition exists on Terca Lumireis...

[crisisrain]

Didn't think so with the lack of Christmas an all. But you guys have been here way longer than me! Ya could've tol...

Actually...

OK I can see why you wouldn't have told me if you had found out...

[Voice]

[loveangelflonne.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, Mr. Raven! I'm sure we'll have more very soon!

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Oh Flonne sweetie don't you worry about it! I didn't think there'd be any left with this Christmas commin' up so soon anyway.

[beary-bad-puns.livejournal.com]

FREE SMOOCHES?

[crisisrain]

FREE SMOOCHES!

We've been left in the dark Teddie old pal. You got Christmas in yer world?

[Voice]

[able-wildflower.livejournal.com]

Is that really a tradition?

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Well Teddie said they have Christmas in his world, some place called TV. So I guess it is!

[creativesuomi.livejournal.com]

Mistletoe is a wonderful tradition. I remember when it first started.

[crisisrain]

You know the history of this legendary mistletoe?! Do share with old Raven would ya!

[salvagedslayer.livejournal.com]

If you're lookin', you're barking up the wrong tree kinda tree. Mistletoe's got berries, not flowers... 'least the kind you're looking for.

[crisisrain]

Really? So you can eat it when yer done gettin' kisses then?

I still can't believe that's a real tradition. It sounds like something a friend of mine would make up.

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

I still can't believe I didn't think of somethin' like this before!

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Mistletoe...? Why does the flower make people kiss you?

Is it magic?

[crisisrain]

No idea my good friend, it's a tradition so I'm guessin' it's a part of some culture.
