Jingle Mingle...2

[alittlefuninstead]

Some of you may be used to this by now. For some of you, this may be your very first time being swept away in a flurry of snowflakes. (Though some of you may have been particularly naughty and were shoved into a burlap sack before disappearing into the storm.) As usual, it seems as though the time for bloodshed has passed and when you open your eyes you're greeted with...

...a ski lodge.

Worry not! This isn't the lodge Krampus had taken residence in but it's a rather large and cozy getaway. You may even find that your clothes have changed into something holiday-appropriate for the occasion. It seems as though someone has gone around decking the halls with boughs of holly, lights strewn along the walls, Christmas trees in large corners, and plenty of food and drink to go around. (Yes, this includes alcohol. Please do try to be responsible though, hm?)

Similarly, some of you may recognize the frosty patterns that lightly dust the walls and surfaces and the usual staff and their assistants are back in action. Should you require anything, you may ask one of them and they'll be at your service!

The lodge has plenty of rooms filled with furniture, fireplaces, games and more. And for those of you feeling a little more adventurous, you may venture outdoors. To the left there's a sprawling garden with gazebos, firepits, flowers and lit topiary displays. To the right, you may follow the path down to a hot spring. And straight ahead? There's the path leading you right to a rental shack holding skis, snowboards and snow mobiles.

This almost seems...quaint, doesn't it? And perhaps it's a little too easy, but you should know by now everything comes with a price.

Sprigs of mistletoe are pinned up in every doorway once again, bright red bows and dustings of frost lingering around them. Don't try to escape to the outdoors to avoid it! Ice sculptures appear in every direction each decorated with the mystical plant. You could try to avoid it, really, but avoiding it too long will earn a chilly breath of air directly in your ear as you're pushed straight into the nearest person. Wouldn't you rather choose on your own?

Well! The choice is yours, and you might want to make it fast. There's no way out without paying the kiss tax, after all.

[ he sees sasazuka

and immediately turns to leave in the opposite direction. who allowed this guy to come? ]

[senjinrouha]

[ why is he here. he doesn't look like he wants to be here?

... either way, he'll be over by the food, if anyone needs him. he's avoiding the mistletoe as much as he can, consequences and stuff be damned. ]

[robopriest]

Bless you. In all senses of the word, coming from me.

[Hansa is coming over to brush some of the snow off, helpfully.]

You'd better watch where you're going, you know.

[silentscout]

[Lalli is following after one of the staff members as they try to waddle away from him in a hurry. He's prodding at the penguin, which makes it squak and waddle more quickly.]

What a weird bird.

[The fuck is a penguin?]

[robopriest]

...





[oh boy.]

...Oh, please tell me you weren't in one of these murder-filled messes.

[dotcom]

[ sasazuka, internally: oh ichika would have a heart attack

sasazuka, externally: just calls out to him! ]

You're not going to say hi to your big brother?

[battling]

If there ain't somethin' ya want make it yerself.

[battling]

I'm a wizard.

[don't be rude.]

[daifukus]

[ hello, it's tonbo again.

this time he looks more tiredly bemused than ready to jump out the nearest window at least. he's got a warm sweater on- and you know what, sure. this may as well happen. ]

Is this to be a constant thing, then....?

[ catch the big lug lurking over the sweets, indecisive as always ]

[liuli]

[ yet another person who has absolutely no idea what christmas is! but you know what gu yun does understand? alcohol!

he's got a mug of what smells like it should probably be a hot toddy, but it smells like a little extra bourbon than necessary, and is just lounging on one of the comfier lounge seats like he owns the place. wearing his liuli glass and thin silks half open at his chest because winter clothes are for chumps, he eyes a piece of particularly stubborn mistletoe, and raises his mug in that direction. if you approach, gu yun gestures to one, expression glittering with amusement - ] Surprised we didn't have an invention like that in the station. Wonder if we're all supposed to kiss this place goodbye.

[ he sounds more amused by this idea than anything.... and is doing absolutely nothing to help anyone, instead just people watching and occasionally waving over these waddling penguins and elves to refill his cup. nice. ]

[aono]

Heads up!

[Wherever your character is, they're about to get a big snowball- so big Rin has to use both hands to lift it- absolutely dunked on them.

Or if you want to watch Rin throw snow at someone else, that's possible too. If you're just an observer, you might see a grey-haired priest with round glasses partially hiding nearby, watching Rin cause chaos while he smiles warmly.]

[robopriest]

[Raising an eyebrow.]

There's a difference?

[heartlands]

[he laughs as she does, glancing towards the penguins in a jokingly thoughtful way.]

Toothpicks would probably be too small...

[escardos]

H-hahaha! W-well, um…

[ IS THAT NOT ENOUGH OF AN ANSWER OR IS THE CROW ON HIS SHOULDER with the silly little christmas hat on their head the proof ]

H-how are you, sir!?

[perfectdistance]

They are pretty cute.... Hope they don't feel too shy runnin' around like that.

[1stknight]

[Someone has a thousand-yard stare as he just stands in front of the ski lodge, staring up at it.]

Ah. This again. I don't suppose I can opt out of it, can I?

[robopriest]

[Mages DO have their familiars so the crow isn't exactly. Super suspect or anything.]

[Just, bluntly:]

Did you die?

[battling]

I dunno shit about mages.

[He's stealing another snack from a penguin.]

[raws]

[aono]

[He is up on the roof, snickering as he peeks down at Xie Lian. At least it's someone clowning around rather than bad luck for once?]

[horologia]

[ i legitimately can't remember if i ever put yuuri homura here last year but regardless here she is now. unfortunately.

a kind of weird aura of unreality or distortion kind of just... clings to her, but it's fine probably. she's wallflowering and decidedly Avoiding the mistletoe, thanks. ]

[teenrebellion]

[ ah, yes, the one person who can get kazuki to consider murder. ]

You're not my brother! Why should I say hi to someone like you?

[evocationary]

[nobody look at me i'm going to be het on the mingle

anyway, stop being a ho. lup leans over the back of the lounge seat and wraps her arms around him, hugging him, and then closing his open shirt for him.]

You'll get cold! And the penguins don't need to see your bobbies. [and she kisses him on the cheek? before biting his ear.]

[fisherwoman]

You're certainly excited...

[punctuated with a little sigh. still, she's looking over the spread.]

There's nothing wrong with it?

[teenrebellion]

[ ...you know what, he's actually going to ignore that because there's something more important to ask. ]

So you're the guy Nero was worried about, huh?

[ he saw the top level. ]
