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.

[There's two clowns, here.]

[One is....helping the penguins? They're all dressed up fancy, hair pulled back in a ponytail - they can be seen walking among the crowd, standing tall as always, because they're a stupidly giant clown. Here! They're offering you some appetizers!]

Nnn... [And they smile, pleasantly.] Would you like some fried shrimp?

[The other clown is...in a sweater, a warm winter coat on top! Their smile is also pleasant as they're outside, building multiple cute little snowmen. Their shikigami (looking like little paper butterflies) are flitting around them, helping.]

Want to make one, too?

[shiftingwinds]

Aww! They're so cute!

[she is


bundled up quite a bit because it is very cold outside! but she's wandering over to take a look at the little snowmen the clown is making. with a smile, she kneels down and starts to form a ball of snow.]

I hope they're not too difficult to make...

[commedia]

Oh, definitely not! Qingxuan, here, I'll show you.

[Their cheeks are tinged a rosy pink as they reach for her hand, tugging her to join them.]

Here, all you need to do is make a little ball like so... [And they let go of her hand to demonstrate.] And make them bigger by rolling them around. Very easy.

[shiftingwinds]

[huh! it must be pretty cold out, if their cheeks are flushed already.

anyway, she watches their example, then nods and makes a ball of snow to start rolling it around... oh! it's getting bigger.]

I see!

[roll roll roll... once she's satisfied with the size of it, she forms another ball, then rolls it around to put it on top of it. a tiny snowman.]

How cute...

[hmm. she needs pebbles or something to make a face...]
