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.

[Somewhere in the lodge, this is occuring.

Some of you may know Bradley, and some of you might know Nero and right now Nero has his hand around Bradley's tie, attempting to... choke him out with it?]

Why the hell are you here!?

What? Ain't like I decided to show up here.

[Neither of them actually signed up for murder time or ending up in some random lodge in the middle of who knows where. But both of them can put two and two together and Nero is considerably less enthused by the revelation.]

Did you fucking die?

It didn't last?

You dumb idiot.

[Nero resumes attempting to choke him out for another minute before leaving in a huff.]

not here

[trickedges]

[ what do you know, Nero continues to be a Mood. ]

[decaptych]

[ By gods, it's like meeting a celebrity at this point.

/popcorns ]

[perfectdistance]

[ He's just leaving. ]

[decaptych]

[ Scoots except not. Also my icons... ]

You're that all-famous Nero, aren't you?

[perfectdistance]

[He looks like he wants to die . Why is this happening?]

Uuuuh.

[decaptych]

[ Aw man, but he isn't in the hobby of making people uncomfortable. Go on you weirdo. ]

You tell that asshole what's for! Have a good one, holidays or something!

[perfectdistance]

Uh... You too...

[ help ]

[bloodyromance]

[Gives Nero a thumbs up. Choke him out.]

[perfectdistance]

[ He's only slightly embarrassed that people saw him. ]

[ercnerd]

[Wow. Goodbye, Nero. Sieghart will give Bradley a minute.]

Hm . . . Do you think it'd last here?

[battling]

[ Bradley is undoing his tie for a moment. Nero's cute mad, but he's also violent. ]

If I died? I dunno. Think anybody's got it out for us?

[ercnerd]

[No one can say that Nero doesn't care after a reaction like that.]

What do you call what just happened to you? You're better off not wearing a tie here.

[battling]

That wasn't an attempt on my life.

[ It was just a little violence between exes. It's fine. ]

I'll be fine.

[ercnerd]

[Knowing what he does of Bradley, sure. It's probably fine.]

. . . And him?

[sponsoredby]

[ He's just. Watching them both do this. ]

You two doing okay?

[battling]

[ At the exact same time: ]

Yeah. No!

[sponsoredby]

[ He can't help but laugh a little at the unison. ]

You should have some fun with the festivities, Nero. Give him a little break.

[perfectdistance]

I got nothing to say to him.

[ Untrue, but he walks off for now

Bradley doesn't follow. ]

[sponsoredby]

[ He looks between them, a little uncertain. ]

I think I should maybe go after him.

[ To Bradley, of course. ]

[alitaba]

[ so sometime after nero leaves ]

Wow, I didn't know you were into that. And in public too!

[battling]

I ain't into it.

[alitaba]

Whoa, so he's into it!?

[ she. hasn't lowered her voice the slightest ftr. ]

You've really gotta consent to these things you know!

[battling]

It's fine, he's just mad about y'know. The death thing.

[alitaba]

[ oooooooooh. awk.


though to be fair, she too would strangle her beloved people if she found out they died when her back was turned ]

Sounds like someone needs to go find apology chocolates.
