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.

[What a nice little room. A beautiful fireplace. A sprig of mistletoe over the doorway. Herlock Sholmes sitting on top of a large cabinet of curios, kicking his feet like a ten year-old.]

[Wait.]

[He waves, grinning. A bluish-colored hare is sitting by his side.]

Hello!

[WHY ARE YOU UP THERE??? IT'S LIKE TEN FEET ABOVE GROUND]

[lionson]

[And he gets a wave in return! Shiro doesn't seem bothered by Sholmes' antics.]

Yo! Having fun up there?

[greatdeduction]

I most certainly am! Are you having fun down there, my dear fellow?

[lionson]

Oh sure, there's plenty of fun to be had. Though playing 'hide and stay hiding' so much is getting to be a pain, I think I'll be able to relax a bit more once people start to settle down for the night.

[He is. Definitely dodging around Rin and Yukio. No being seen by his sons, nope.]

[perceivedrevalry]

...

[Some things never change, do they? This guy really keeps being an utter clown, he thinks]

Stop getting on high places all of a sudden and just get off there.

[If you break something Revali is immediately pointing at you, no doubt]

[greatdeduction]

No, I'm quite comfortable!

[:D]

[perceivedrevalry]

That's not the point here!

[Nero once told Revali he would miss Sholmes. Revali doesn't understand how that's possible when Sholmes is...this.]

[battling]

What are ya, a bird?

[greatdeduction]

Hm.

[Looks at his own arms?]

You may be mistaking me with Master Revali? I'm far less feathery than him.

[battling]

Who?

You're perching.

[perspire]

--Are you going to fall again?

[greatdeduction]

No, no! That was a one-time thing, my dear fellow. I'm very careful about such things.

[Kicks his legs!]

[perspire]

If you're so sure about it.

[ [x] doubt ]

[schismanic]

My. I don't think you were here last time.

[ there is a spirit just lounging in the air right next to the cabinet now. ]

Are you certain you won't fall?

[greatdeduction]

Last time?

[Hm? He tilts his head at her, questioningly.]

No, not at all. I'm used to high places, you see.

[schismanic]

Oh, you know, this little thing we all go through where we mind our own business, blink our eyes, and find ourselves swept away to who knows where other than the fact that it seems the ice spirits are very active there.

It happens every now and then.

[syndromed]

Be careful not to break anything.

[greatdeduction]

I'm being nice, not naughty! I won't break a thing!

[She means your bones.]

[Irene perks up from near his lap.]

How are you doing, my dear girl?

[syndromed]

[ no she means the curios and stuff. you're welcome to break your bones. ]

I'm doing well... I didn't expect to be pulled to this kind of holiday party, but it's nice to see everyone enjoying themselves.

[dianxias]

[ oh that sure is a human up there ]

Hello!

[ xie lian waves when the person waves!!! ruoye, the fabric strip, not the ferret, pokes out of his sleeve and also waves. ] Are you stuck, good sir?

[greatdeduction]

[Ah.]

[Well, now here's something interesting. Sholmes peers down at the other, Irene with ears twitching also following suit.]

No, not at all, not at all! I came up here to observe the crowd, my dear fellow! You shouldn't worry.

[dianxias]

Oh. [ well, that's

probably fine? what does xie lian know! his bunny is very cute, though, and xie lian's question is genuinely interested. ] And what have you observed so far, from such a high vantage point?

[sponsoredby]

[His eyebrow slowly raises as he looks up at Sholmes perched up there.]

[Finley also looks unamused up at him, but looks over at Irene because she's more important.]

Let's try not to have a repeat of the tree incident, okay?

[greatdeduction]

[Irene shakes her head - and then speaks, in a prissy little English accent.]

He never listens to reason.

[Sholmes barks out a laugh.]

Oh, come on, Irene, its fun, isn't it? Anyways, it won't be! Promise! I've done this too many times to count!

[sponsoredby]

[He huffs a laugh at the pair and walks over, taking Sholmes's ankles in his hands and peering right up at him. He's about to say something before Finley butts in first.]

Unfortunately, that makes them the perfect pair.

[Her voice is a bit deep, rather rich. Though her tone comes out as very dry an judgmental of them both.]

I can't argue with that.

[He's ignoring the insult part of it, giving Sholmes a warm smile. Finley just butts her head against his leg in response.]
