glocksuke | Jingle Mingle...2

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.

[ 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. ]

[rip yuri

anyway, sheba sidles up to him and looks at the food]

...at least there's good stuff to eat?

This is where I live now. With the food.

[ he just offers her a plate. let's go get All the Snacks, stepdaughter. ]

[takes the plate! time to fill it up with tasty snacks.]

I'm moving in! We're roommates now.

At least we're being well provided for in our new place.

[ fed. and there's a roof? that's two for two. ]

[as long as things stay chill and there is no murder they'll be three for three.]

I saw Kaeya earlier. I bet Diluc will be somewhere around here, too. Are you sure you want to just stay by the food?

[ Hi she's got a thing of eggnog and is sus of it. ]

Yuri! Please drink this.

[ he is Looking ]

What's wrong with it?

Nothing.

I hope.

[ this is the face of a man full of suspicion. ]

[ Holds the cup up. ]

It won’t hurt you. Not like the boba did to so many others.

Does this count?

[ it's a cookie shaped like a mistletoe. ]

I don't know, does it?

Like I need a dumb plant to tell me what to do.

[ he is putting it on yuri's hand or napkin or plate before reaching for some of the snacks for his own plate. ]

Granted, the fact that it's everywhere really says something about whoever set this up. Speaking of... do we even know?

But would you say no if the dumb plant tries?

[ there's a question. yuri will take the cookie, and snap it neatly in half. the spell is broken. if there ever was one. ]

Someone really wanted people to feel the love? [ pravda is probably here too. just... sitting on kaeya's foot. hello. love her. ]

Would you so cruelly shun my kisses?

[ hmph! ]

Where are Sholmes and Kaburagi? They can fuel that desire for "feeling the love" alone, surely.

[ mood

from behind, xie lian is watching yuri pick up some sort of sweet that he doesn't recognize. jiii.... ]

[ wow. love that feeling of being watched.

yuri just pauses and then tilts his head back to look at the ceiling. ]

Yes?

What are you eating?

[ well, no hesitation as he comes over, then!!!

ruoye chitters happily and reaches over to bonk his head into yuri's arm. hello! ]

[ hello daemon-formerly-known-as-san-lang. yuri gives him a little tap on the head with his finger before looking back at his food. ]

Some kind of cookie I think? It's... different to what I'm used to. [ it is in fact the most perfect christmas treat, leubkuchen. ]

It's good. Give one a try.

[ he's also wondering why he is here? hi.

he's bumping their shoulders together and peeking over at the food. ]

I was wondering if you'd be around.

[ here comes the baby!!! ]

[ sorry diluc he's focusing on THE BABY!!!! .............. but also the boyfriend, hello. ]

Seems like this was a getting the gang together kind of event. Or, that's what I'm assuming from the people I've seen here. And then some.

[ if he doesn't pick her up she will just jump so he has no choice but to catch and hold her. ]

I guess no one sends out invitations anymore. [ sighs ] This is fine, as long as no one is getting killed, again.

Yuri! You simply must be more sociable. There are so many people here!

[She's going to try to drag him back to the party.]

Of all the places to see one another again, huh?

[ how's it hanging? ]
