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.
[ooc: it's mgcu time! this mingle is open to characters from the following:

no subject
now, there's a familiar face. gu yun leans back, head tipping backwards to look up at lup - and then laughs when she pulls his silks shut. ] Oh, I'm just getting into the spirit.
[ ho ho ho
anyway. the bite on his ear does make him jump a little, but, undeterred, he lifts a hand and proclaims, loftily, ] Besides. I don't get cold.
[ and then reaches out and touches her face immediately with his ice cold corpse fingers ] See?
no subject
Stop that! Stop! [honks his NOSE.] You're freezing, you dastardly bastard boy. You're just too rip-roaring wasted to notice.
[huffs. she puts her hand - warm, now - on his face and shoves before climbing over the back of the couch to sit in his lap like she belongs there.]
no subject
Hm?
[ and then lets lup just crawl into his lap. this is fine, he guesses. disgusting! lup is very warm, though, so, he will hook his arm around her and tuck it against the fabric of her clothes. ]
Here, try this. [ and offering her the hot toddy!!! it does smell very good. ] Not that I would claim to be anywhere near the levels of, [ airquote ] "rip-roaring wasted", but if I had been partaking in any sort of alcohol-soaked decisions this evening, they would be delicious ones.
no subject
Jesus, that's strong. I don't believe you for a second. [she stretches a little, and then settles back down into his lap.] Looks like you're not stuck here forever, huh.
no subject
[ it's delicious! he's like a little tipsy. just the right level of tipsy that he's allowing lup to cuddle him in public without getting terribly embarrassed.
which! he glances down at lup settled on him and then back at her face, pointedly. ] Oh, was I not?
[ since he's acquired a lap cat now.... ]
no subject
[she taps her chin thoughtfully.] Well. Maybe four is generous.
no subject
This beauty of mine could subdue an army. Maybe not of a million, but ten or twenty thousand, that would be easy.
[ gu yun.
anyway, he is joking (probably?) and tilts his head a little to catch lup's gaze. ] How many of those four do you count for, baobei?
no subject
[puts a hand over his mouth, like a brat.] I've never liked you a day in my life.
no subject
[ wow. silenced
gu yun reaches up to take her hand and lift it up juuust a little bit, enough that he can say - ] That's right, because you love me.
[ and then lets it drop again with the most innocent expression you could possibly imagine on his face. owo? ]
no subject
she gives him the flattest look in the world, ear flicking.]
You're pushing it, buster. [squeezes her hand around his mouth] You love me more, anyway.
no subject
pushing it unfortunately is what he does best therefore he continues to do so ]
no subject
she's into it, though. she pulls her hand down, and kisses him for real.]
Lucky you.
no subject
To have your attention? Indeed.
[ shameless AND embarrassing ]
no subject
Absolutely. I don't sit in just anybody's lap. You're experiencing something that people die for.
no subject
a little dramatically, he presses a hand to his heart. ] Well. This humble Zixi is honored by your presence, though... instead of to die for it, I'll simply live for it, instead.
[ please stop flirting in public ]
