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.

[Lalli looks at the rose.

Then he looks at Tamaki, unimpressed.

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

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

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

[personal profile] silentscout 2021-12-11 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Inner glow...? But how would something on the inside show on the outside like that?

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

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

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

[personal profile] silentscout 2021-12-11 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

[personal profile] sophistications 2021-12-11 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[he considers this.]

I can't say I've ever spoken Finnish before, so perhaps that's true. I suppose I've grown used to everything translating automatically.

[as you do when you're a god.]

[personal profile] silentscout 2021-12-11 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmm. Magic is useful for that.

[Magical murdergame translations!]

Why are you giving out flowers anyway?
sophistications: (Default)

[personal profile] sophistications 2021-12-12 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Magic does help with many things. [they can agree on that, and he twirls a rose between his fingers.]

The roses? They're a signature, and they're quite lovely, wouldn't you say?
silentscout: (72)

[personal profile] silentscout 2021-12-12 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
I guess. They smell nice.

[Lalli with his stupidly strong sense of smell over here.]

...are you a flower mage?
sophistications: (77)

[personal profile] sophistications 2021-12-12 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
[take the rose and give it to kon, lalli. it's fine.]

Do I seem like a mage? [unfortunately the idea amuses him a lot.] I can be anything you'd like me to be, I suppose, but for now I'm simply a god.

["""simply"""]

[He does take the rose, but he's also squinting at Tamaki.]

...which god?

[He's from a pantheon with multiple gods, humor him.]
sophistications: (75)

[personal profile] sophistications 2021-12-12 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
The god of Beauty, of course. [of course.] Fitting, isn't it? I know, I know, it may be a little overwhelming but I don't believe in hiding my features anymore.

[He watches Tamaki, squinting at him.]

...I thought Mielikki was a woman.

[Wrong pantheon, Lalli.]
sophistications: (75)

[personal profile] sophistications 2021-12-14 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
...I feel as though we may be thinking of two very different things? I can't say I've ever met a Mielikki.
