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.

[Hansa is coming over to brush some of the snow off, helpfully.]
You'd better watch where you're going, you know.
no subject
Ah... I think it wouldn't matter so much where I was going that I would end up this way, unfortunately... Thank you, though, Hansa.
[ sometimes you have negative luck points ]
no subject
[He makes a chopping motion.]
Just show that snow who's boss. [He grins, amused.] I'm kidding. Anyways...lot of people we have here, huh?
no subject
[ amazing. he brushes off his shoulder and shakes his head, then takes his hat off of his back to dump the remaining snow out of it. all better! ]
And - yes, that's true! I've seen many familiar faces, and... ah. Some that... certainly surprised me.
[ qi rong, ] - But, have you, Hansa? Are Miss Alex and the others about? I should like to see them!
no subject
[You and your luck...]
Ah, I believe they're out and about. There's so many faces we haven't seen for quite a while, including you. It's really nice to have a chance to catch up.
You've been doing well, yourself?
no subject
[ and he's had to go up there and actually do things in the heavens and that's not really that fun.... but duty calls..... ]
But, I am doing very well. San Lang was gone for a while, but he's come back - so, we are simply settling into the motions of life after our experience in the Realm. But, ah, enough about me! Hansa, you must tell me, how about you? Have things been well for you? What have you been doing!
no subject
[He pats the other's shoulder good-naturedly.]
I'm glad that you're doing well with your sweetheart. And me? Why, I'm busy as ever. The life of a priest never stops, and there's always some new threat to dispose of. Though in the meantime, I've been looking after Alex, Emet-Selch, and dear Chiron. Its nice to have people to come home to.
no subject
Ah, I know what you mean... and, I am glad to hear that! I know it must take a whole village to care for Emet-Selch. [ (affectionate) ] So, to hear you all are doing well brings me great joy.
no subject
[Obviously, nothing but fondness in his voice.]
And you being well brings me joy too, Xie Lian. Hua Cheng is lucky to have you.
no subject
xie lian does not outwardly laugh at this, but the smile on his face is very, very clear, and he looks away, pursing his lips. because. yeah. emet is a real pain in the butt! he's lovable though. just a pain in the butt. ]
I can only imagine! Still, you all have quite the system. [ your polycule....
but, ah. embarrassing - xie lian's cheeks pinken a bit at the last part, and he ducks his head. ] I wouldn't say it's luck, necessarily... [ more like bad luck? ] ...but, things have been going well now that he's back. I did miss him very much, after all.
