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.

[she bursts into laughter, and one of the penguins gives her an offended look.]

Holy shit! It'd be -- [and she tries to imitate doing it, by throwing her arm out in the most wiggly limp way she can.]

[heartlands]

[he's still laughing, but he does try to stop for a second so he can give this offended penguin an apologetic smile and a wave.]

Careful, or we might be the first victims.

[the penguin squawks and zooms off. beau opens her mouth - and then closes it? hm. maybe don't make that particular joke. instead:]

Eh. I can take a fucking penguin.

[heartlands]

A little concerned by your willingness to fight a bird at this very nice party, but you probably could, yeah!

[he sounds very amused instead of concerned at all.]

[disreguarded]

If you're not willing to throw down with a stupid bird at any moment, what even is the point of anything. [she's also amused, though.] How're you doing, man?

[heartlands]

I'm doing good! A lot better. It's helped a lot to be away from... all that for a little while.

[he snorts, though there's a smile on his face as he does.]

Amir's probably going to be freaked out that I disappeared again, but I'll make it back pretty quick this time, I think. Anyways - what about you, what have you been doing? Have Caleb and Molly been good?
