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.

[Kill Bill sirens are going off in his mind now.]

Ah...yes, I think I do recognize him. He was one of the few honorable men among the clowns.

[Hate clowns. Hate.]

[liuli]

[

smiles :) ]

He is very honorable - as he should be, since I raised him.

[ this sentence is actually the thing that reeks of the most bullshit that he's said so far ]

My precious ward - I hope you wouldn't mind a question, then, to soothe the worried heart of a foster father. Was he quite alright, in your little lodge?

[impurities]

[liuli]

[ shut up you're grounded ]

[1stknight]

[This is danger THIS IS DANGER]

Ah, well. I suppose I should let you know that we all died. Nobody was spared. But it turned out alright in the end, dying is actually what allowed all of us to escape.

[liuli]

Ah. Was he caught killing someone else, perhaps?

[ :) ]

[1stknight]

Not...quite, no.

[He is trying to POLITELY LOOK AWAY and find an escape.]

Though really, it is improper to talk about someone else's business like that. Perhaps you might ask him about it?

[liuli]

[ with bedivere's attempts at looking away, gu yun just completely ignores that in favor of: ]

You wouldn't to have happened to be the one who killed him, would you?

[1stknight]

[Urk]

A-As I said, we all had to die to escape, so everyone has already made peace with what happened. I certainly hold no grudges against the man who killed me.

[liuli]

That wasn't a no, now, was it?

[1stknight]

That case was solved, so.

[liuli]

Well, you are right. Chang Geng is very honorable - he certainly would never hold grudges.

[ he really isn't gu yun but thats okay it doesnt matter

he tilts his head and the smile goes away. ] And that is a sort of graciousness that he learned from someone else, I'm afraid.

Perhaps you and I should get to know each other, Bedivere. It sounds as if we will have many things to talk about.

[1stknight]

[Well. He had hoped to avoid conflict, but that's impossible now it seems. So he takes a moment to just breathe and steady himself.

Remember the code. Remember that taking action means accepting responsibility for the actions you take. Even the shameful things you would rather forget need to be answered for. Restoring honor means accepting whatever punishment is given for dishonorable acts.]

Ask what you will. I won't shy away from your questions.

[liuli]

[ oh one of these types.... ]

Have you spoken with him at all?

[1stknight]

We have spoken, yes. We reached an understanding.

[evocationary]

[be nice you murder gremlin]

[liuli]

[ wow ]
