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.

[sophistications]

[unfortunately for everyone involved, there is now one (1) booth firmly planted beneath a sprig of misstletoad. there is also one (1) appropriately dressed rich bitch seated on a chair and leaning forward to eye everyone passing by. where the fuck did he get this stand? why is it made of plush velvet and marble? what the hell happened here?

regardless, written in a golden script at the top are the words "KISSING BOOTH" and as you pass by tamaki may offer you a white rose.]

It's quite magical, isn't it? But your presence brightens the night.

[you can't leave until you smooch someone anyway, so perhaps he can be of assistance? but he is open to negotiations...]

[beeingnice]

[does it, though.



she's eyeing the booth critically.]

You're going to kiss anyone who shows up? What if they're, like, ugly?

[i'm sorry]

[sophistications]

[this is the face of an idiot who didn't consider that. so he falters for a second, blinking rapidly before there's the ever-so-charming smile.]

Now, now. Everyone has a bit of beauty to them somehow...even if it's very, very far down. It wouldn't be fair to deny them of their desires, would it?

[beeingnice]

Uuuhhh, just because they want to kiss you doesn't mean you have to kiss them. You can "deny their desires" if they're not your type.

[sophistications]

[...]

That seems a bit cruel, especially since I'm most people's type. [so that's mean?] And I've told you about my job as a host. We're meant to make all of our customers happy.

[beeingnice]

[she glances around (by which i mean i check flatview to see who's commented most recently as i'm typing this) and gestures at revali.]

So you're saying you'd kiss the bird if that would make it happy?

[perceivedrevalry]

[i come to peek at tamaki threads and i see this

wow]

[sophistications]

[...this is a good question.]

I suppose, though I sincerely doubt he would wish to be kissed. I've never really pondered the desires of birds.

[bakaomi]

[ just goes to start walking away, muttering "desperate...."




like, he isn't going very far, obviously, but he doesn't know that yet ]

[sophistications]

[hey.

hey!!!

there's a sugar cookie flying at machfuck at taka's head.]

What did you say!?

[bakaomi]

Desperate! I can spell it out too!

[ PICKS UP THE COOKIE AFTER IT BOUNCES OFF AND THROWS IT BACK ]

[sophistications]

[there's a yelp and the cookie goes zooming. it seems to be caught midair and taka will hear a slight laugh in his ear before a breeze disappears. have fun bullying a twink, kid.]

How is this desperate? I'm merely offering my assistance!

[bakaomi]

Oi, Jack--

[ goodbye best god.......

but he will look back at tamaki. ]

Just let people get stuck.

[silentscout]

[Lalli looks at the rose.

Then he looks at Tamaki, unimpressed.]

I'm not adding any additional light, I have no lanterns with me.

[sophistications]

[rude. he doesn't deflate quite yet, but he does smile again.]

One doesn't need a lantern to have an inner glow.

[silentscout]

Inner glow...? But how would something on the inside show on the outside like that?

[Tamaki please, this boy is bad at metaphors.]

[sophistications]

[...lalli. you're killing him, smalls.]

...have you never heard that beauty is in the eye of the beholder?

[silentscout]

No. I don't know what that means.

[But it's probably one of those 'sayings don't make sense' things, so!]

It's probably translating weird. A lot of things from other languages don't make sense in Finnish.

[booksleeves]

[T-taking the rose! She looks completely startled by this.]

Oh!

[sophistications]

[oh no susato doesn't deserve this. but instead tamaki looks very pleased, leaning in a little closer with a soft smile.]

Enjoying your evening, princess?

[uncoincidental]

[there were legitimately so many booths of so many kinds in chasma that i just think it's really funny to have chasma sheba stop here and stare for a second.]

...oh, your group did that sort of thing too, huh?

[sophistications]

[i hate this. tamaki, meanwhile, is blinking in surprise.]

...well, we did have a variety of different events and the like. I know you weren't around for the latter half, but surely you remember.

[uncoincidental]

...

Umm... I think maybe you're thinking of someone else?

[sophistications]

...Sheba, it's a Christmas party, not a costume ball. I think I remember you quite well seeing how I saw you this morning at the temple.

[uncoincidental]

...

[scale of 1 to 10 how good are his mental defenses as a god because she's going to try to read his mind to figure out what the hell he's talking about]
