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.

[ A girl can dream. ]

I saw those elves running into some back room. [ She points in its direction. ] Might be a general area? But they'd probably have stuff in there, I dunno.

It's probably gonna look like a big box! [ She's gotta think in wizard terms... Nero said that there's no cars in their world, so??? ] It'll have some microphones, too, have ever seen one of those? People usually go "tap, tap" and then spout some bullshit into 'em to ruin a wedding!

I got no idea what those are. But damn, let people have a nice weddin'.

[He will start heading directly into the back room. He's not sneaky about this at all, he's just walking straight in.

Who is going to stop him? A penguin?]

You go to weddings often? Sometimes the bride and groom are... y'know.

[ Awful. Anyway...

You getting married soon? To Nero? She'll ask honestly soon enough.

Also yes a penguin is there as soon as he opens the door and looks up at him with the biggest most baby penguin eyes. ]

[Bradley just picks up the penguin and continues on. Is it dinner? Is it a souvenir? Who knows.]

The ones I end up at are usually these political affairs. The people might be happy but the bride and groom barely even know each other.

[ His and Nero’s child. ]

Oh. Yikes. [ Into the room they go! It looks like a general staff area, but there are several decorations sitting on their desks and lots of little stools for them to hop into their seats. Cute. ]

… You know Nero, right?

[They already have two kids they have shared custody over. Maybe.

Bradley puts the penguin in his hoodie as he checks out the rest of this room. Anything interesting? Valuable?]

Yeah. Did he actually talk about me or what?

You guys kissed in some Cavern of Time.

He told ya that?

[ Wild. ]

More like I got him to tell me that…

Throw a thousand questions at him and he’ll lose focus! But after realizing what happened he’ll clam up real quick.
