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.

Have an awkward son instead. He's settled under a tree away from others, and he's paused in his meditation to watch because he can appreciate fine craftsmanship! (Can he sense Hua Cheng's demonic energy or is it concealed?? Maybe that's another reason he's staring,
But he doesn't say anything, just watches quietly.]
no subject
he does glance up, just to locate where the source is this time. not too surprising to see a cultivator hanging out, actually. but he does cock an eyebrow.
better than stabbing childe in the face on principle. ]
no subject
ANYWAY IN THAT CASE. Yeah awkward son is watching........ out of interest, and also out of risk assessment??? imagine how hilarious it would be if lwj tried to fuckin lay hua cheng's spirit to rest
For now, he simply lifts his hands and bows very politely, because he is a good boy and because this... resentful spirit man????... is not causing any harm at this moment in time.]
no subject
please try, son. that would be so funny. so chaotic. hua cheng would pretend it worked and then terrorize him for the rest of the jingly.
there's an equal sort of. assessment. that happens as they stare at each other. but then lan wangji bows and he finds this acceptable enough respect paid. still - ] Does the young cultivator not see such grand statues or grand ghosts back home?
no subject
But--oh, well. A ghost? That... kind of explains it, but this is still highly unusual behavior. Lan Wangji's expression doesn't change, but Hua Cheng's been around long enough that it's probably obvious to him that Lan Wangji's still trying to work this out in his head.
Still, if he's being asked directly, then Lan Wangji has no reason not to answer in kind.]
Not often. Most spirits require Qin language, or other communication techniques. [And ones with this level of resentment are usually far, far beyond that point anyway, and definitely wouldn't be standing around making snow sculptures.]
