[Collars aren't anything new to him. In fact, he's reaching up to take the thing off. Until he realizes it isn't like his usual one. There's nothing to make the contract... Nothing to take it off. But if there's no contract between collar and master... What exactly does it mean? Who has control? Did anyone or everyone? It's making him a little panicky and on edge. There's not a chance that he wants to be caught off-guard in a situation like this.

Are there command words? Who would it respond to? There are just too many unknowns for him to be at ease at the moment. He doesn't really want to follow just anyone. Mikhail would rather not submit either...]

AH HA! [You might hear subtle hints of things exploding in the background—small things! It's really more like popping. Nothing at all to concern yourself with!]

Now that the prototype is done, I'd like to—what was that phrasing again? Ah yes!—wish you all a Merry Christmas. My gifts for everyone should be making their way around.

((OOC: Mistletoe-kun is all about bringing people together—mostly their bodies. When one of the delightful little inventions finds two (or more) people together it puts up an invisible barrier around them. You might not even notice it at first unless you see the plant dangling from the hovering, silver ball above you. But you might need a little motivation so the barrier will be shrinking and shrinking and shrinking. Snuggle up! Take off your clothes and stay awhile! If you don't want to get squished—and we hope you don't—you'll need to get physical. Once you get started the barrier will get a little bigger to give you room to work, but it won't fade away until you're good and done~ Don't worry, the robot will prompt you if you're confused. Feel free to post here and get spammed with loving!))

[The last thing he remembered, he was on a rooftop dancing with Maria. Then what? That disgusting taste. He could still taste him here-- that sad excuse for a man. But, more importantly, where was here? Even with the small candle he had found on a table along the hallway it was still much too dark.

Interesting. Surely he couldn't have wandered too far, since he was still wearing the bar's uniform instead of his usual robes.]

Where'd that brat run off to now? [a sigh as he brought up the strange key to inspect it before stuffing it in his pocket and kicking open the first door he came across. Frau wanted quick answers, not to search whatever this place may be for a random room assigned to him.]

[ Now that it isn't dark, Teito is going to go look around the place. He hopes that Mikage isn't too upset that he snuck out of the room. But... Teito looks over his shoulder just in case. He's worried about his friend, yes, but he hadn't felt like waking the other up. With a slight determination in his eyes, he turns back around and towards the lift. Teito wants to know what he can about this place while he can. ]

[He's never been to this place before, groping blindly through the darkness to try and feel his way along a hallway, a key gripped tightly into his hand. He doesn't get it but it's better than being dead, right?]

Hello? Anyone there?!

Hmph. How boring.

[Well, because he's a Nobody of course Axel can see through the dark fairly well. But, hey, so long as it's dark he might as well take this opportunity to get some sleep, seeing as it's only his favorite hobby...next to eating ice cream, of course.

So, after walking perfectly fine and dandily through a few hallways he finds a...seemingly unoccupied room, opens the door and flops down on the bed without regards to anything or anyone that could have claimed this room before him.

If there is anyone beside him you're either 1. going to be used as a pillow 2. be kicked roughly in the shin or 3. bothered by the sound of snoring. Take your pick and deal with it, ladies and gentleman; Axel needs his beauty rest.]

((OOC: Either you're in the room beforehand or not; doesn't ruffle my feathers any whatever you pick. XD))
