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.

But he perks up after that because I'm saying this is post 2.2 childe]

Ah, but I went traveling recently, you know--I've got some new technology notes for you.

[toyska]

Technically they belonged to a colleague of mine, but she no longer has need of them. [lmao sucks to be her] I'll pass them along later--隔墙有耳.

[liuli]

[ gu yun makes such a face from where he is stockpiling weapons for the oncoming snow war. ]

Next time you visit your Liyue, you ought to consider play-acting as a mute.

[toyska]

[Childe, meanwhile, has shifted and is packing snow into a makeshift barricade. He rolls his eyes and even though he knows what response he's going to get, he can't resist the urge to quip--]

Interesting suggestion! How about a demonstration from the great Marquis himself?

[since you're SO GOOD AT PLAYING THE "WHICH SENSES DO I HAVE TODAY" GAME]

[liuli]

[ shocking no one, his response is: ]

Mm?

[ and then flings a snowball at him, though it's more lazily than anything ]

[toyska]

[YOU ARE SO ANNOYING]

Getting weaker by the day, "yifu". [awful]

Now, now, if you'll insist on calling me daddy, you could learn some respect, while you're at it.

Snezhnaya will become a desert before that happens.

[liuli]

[ he just cracks up laughing, immediately, rocking backwards to avoid the snowball. wehehehehehehe ]

You're losing your touch! [ and from where he is rocked back like an open target he flings a snowball back at childe from behind his back. yeet ]

[toyska]

[fuck it he just pulls a this]
