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.
[ooc: it's mgcu time! this mingle is open to characters from the following:

[ ...
but, well, realistically; ] ... though, it's nice to see everyone again, I agree.
[ ruoye finishes his weird little ferret hop dance of greeting and then stands on his hind legs to pap polaris on the face and hold his big face with his tiny, tiny paws. hello!!!!! ]
no subject
Everyone and more, there are a number of strange faces here. Makes me wonder if this is some sort of hub in and of itself.
[ polaris will sweep his tongue over ruoye in greeting, nosing and nuzzling happily and play bowing just a bit at him, tail high and paws low. he reaches out a paw gently and baps back. ]
no subject
[ he nods! xie lian is not quite optimistic that this is not also a murder situation, honestly, but... they've all been world hopping so who's to say.
he will come to sit a comfortable distance away from kaeya, though, watching their daemons play as ruoye darts between polaris's legs to try and trip him up in their game. cute. ]
... I do wonder how we're supposed to leave. Feng Xin and Mu Qing will be terribly worried, unless all time has stopped as it did the first time.
im down to 15 icons so im sorry for not using my cutest
[ he's loathe to leave this cozy couch, but he does like exploring with xie lian. ]
How are things back home anyways?
not in my house you aren't
Mm. San Lang - [ he pauses. the ferret looks up. they look at each other.
... xie lian winces. ] - Hua Cheng might know.
[ because hua cheng just knows everything in his mind now? it's fine. as for the question - the wince fades to a smile, though, it's not quite as bright as it could be. ] Ah... things are alright, yes. We're getting by - I thought the others might be more confused by Ruoye, but, no no one had any particular objections.
And you, Kaeya? How is your home? I pray you're keeping out of trouble.
no subject
For the most part. No one's truly taken issue with our daemons... and Sheba and Yuri have paid us a visit, though Yuri comes and goes more often. [ he seems fine with that, really! yuri's got business with brave vesperia, and if anything, kaeya's always impressed with that. ] He has work back in his world.
But over all... I'd say I get into about the same amount of trouble that I usually do. [ a wink! ]
no subject
xie lian's smile instead goes more fond. ]
Much of it, then, I presume. [ uu... ] ... I'd like to visit, sometime. When things at home are a bit more settled.
