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.

anyway! shi qingxuan is just ambling by and sipping at some alcoholic drink or another, but she pauses to admire the sculptures.]
You really do have an eye for that sort of thing!
[
the joke was entirely unintentional on her part. and on mine, actually. i didn't realize until i started to write this meta text.]

tanhua appears, briefly, from behind the sculpture that this hua cheng is working on for a moment. the wolf-sized fox stares at her with his right eye closed, the other dark and twinkling - and then he shifts back around so that he can go back to digging up more snow.
his person glances up at shi qingxuan, and then is back to work, himself. ]
And often only one. [ dryly, but not without some humor ]
no subject
hello, tanhua! shi qingxuan gives a little wave and watches him stare at her, then shrugs as he goes back to digging. well, if crimson rain sought flower's companion isn't going to be attacking her on sight, that's probably a good thing.]
...oops! Well, I went and said that without thinking, didn't I...
[open mouth, insert foot. anyway, she's examining the sculptures with curosity.]
But these really are very good!
no subject
he doesn't dislike this god, anyways, and - well, he can tell she's a god, especially given the shape she's taken at the moment. tanhua chuffs an amused noise at her realization, but continues his digging, all of his numerous tails flicking. ]
Yes, they are. [ how modest ] Though Dianxia's remains the best of them so far.
no subject
[there is basically no universe in which hua cheng would sculpt anyone else more nicely than he sculpts xie lian]
