Okay, so. This is a friendly reminder for everyone for the holidays. Some humans import mistletoe. It looks like this.

  Attached: mistletoe.jpg

They are a parasitic plant that grows out of trees. They're a symbol of Christmas fertility and affection and if you stand underneath a sprig with someone it is custom that you kiss. This is not a custom that you should feel forced to engage in and if you choose to, no further physical expectations are expected to accompany it. This custom predates the spread of Christianity throughout Europe and is based in Druidic customs.

Most importantly, if you've never seen this plant before, do not eat the berries. They are poisonous to humans. It contains something called phoratoxin which can lead to blurred vision, nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, blood pressure changes, or possibly death. It isn't terribly common here so it shouldn't be a terrible problem, though I'm aware that some people here have had limited experience with fruits and berries that are common to the rest of us. Use caution in this case

Stop by my office. We got a little bit of a problem.

 [Wynter doesn't immediately react to the video on, but it's because he's thoughtful rather than unaware. When he does look at the feed he's alert and focused.] My name is Tungwynterestemont. But you can call me Wynter.

I'll be acting as security while here and I'll be very good at it. [He's not saying that to reassure himself, but to make sure his young appearance doesn't make others doubt him, on both sides of the fence.

But that said, he eases off.] Happy to be here.
