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.

[IT'S A POMPOM is this grimm yams or crau yams whatever who cares

more importantly, Yasusada is outside having a snowball fight! Who is he fighting? Well, now it's you, so you'd better duck. It's okay, he gives a loud warning.]

ORA ORA ORAAAAAAAAA!!!

[Alternatively, catch him pulling some mistletoe off the wall and sniffing it. He's gonna eat it? He's gonna eat it.]

[ yin yu appears out of absolutely nowhere, as he does, and says - ]

Do not even think about eating that.

[He jumps because WHERE DID YOU COME FROM!!! But he does at least pause with it halfway to his mouth, tilting his head.]

Why not? It's a plant, isn't it?

So is deadly nightshade, so named for being a poison.

[ yams ]

Yasusada, do you greet every new plant you see by attempting to eat it....?

Not all of them! [Just. Fuckin genuinely] But we can't die from eating plants, as long as our vessels are okay.

[

probably? he doesn't actually know this for sure he's just making assumptions]

Or-- what?

[ SMACKED IN THE FACE WITH A SNOWBALL ]

Stephanie-kun, you're supposed to dodge!

[Helpfully]

That was a lucky shot!

[ she wipes some remaining snow off her face. ]

It's on now.

[HEHEHE he looks very pleased!!]

We played this game at the Citadel!

[FINALLY SOMETHING HE ACTUALLY KNOWS HOW TO DO]

We played this too, although the snow is a lot cleaner here...

[ living in big city problems

she goes to make some snowballs ]

Cleaner? Oh, you're from a crowded place, right?

[He doesn't know a modernity but let's be real no cities are particularly clean ever

But he'll do the same!! Yaaaay snowballs]

Yeah, it's a pretty big city. Maybe you can visit and be confused with me there.

[ gotham is such a punch in the face. yams would try to stab so many people.

but she pauses

and then yeets one at him ]

Eh, you're confused about it? Is it a new place?

[Stephanie!! Do you need a map!!!!

He's so busy feeling concerned over Stephanie being confused about her own home that the snowball beans him directly in the face]

--Wah!

[ that familiar battlecry surprises him enough that he gets hit right in the face as he turns around and down he goes goodbye

but he's popping back up a second later to throw a fistful of snow right back at yams with a wordless yell?!?? ]

[HECK YEAH!!!!!]

My blood is boiling...!

[WHY IS HE FIRED UP SO FAST]

One lucky shot is nothing to get excited about, Yamatonokami! You won't catch me off guard like that again!

You have to think like a demon to fight a demon!

[never say yams will miss a chance to roast hijigumi]

[ KICKS SNOW IN HIS FACE ]

Wah--

[fck that got him]

[ he laughs! ]

Looks like you aren't quite strong enough to fight a demon yet!

[okay you know what

what if he drops down and tries to kick some snow INTO KANESADA'S BOOTS]

Oh, Yamatonokami Yasusada...

[ . . . . .

is he gonna stop him?

is he - ]

Do report back on how it tastes.

[NO!!!!]

[well in that case he's just gonna pluck off the berry and pop it in his mouth

can't believe yams is dead again]

[pixi i had to check if mistletoe is actually lethal bc in myth it does kill gods

i mean maybe that's just norse gods and not tsukumogami

anyway mikazuki watches him]

The flavor?

[It's okay I have an easy solution, which is--

Making a face, Yasusada takes it back out of his mouth. It just looks... bent?!]

I don't think this is a food after all...

[this one is plastic]
