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.

[Oh, it's Flat]

I would ask how you can keep the irritating cheerfulness even though you got kidnapped again into some nonsense, but I know already what sort of person you are.

[escardos]

It’s important to stay positive, Master R. In fact, you could say that I’m doing a necessary service to the world.

[ something like being optimistic so others don’t have to? ]

Do you guys have Christmas in your world?

[perceivedrevalry]

Christmas...certainly not. I don't have the slightest idea about any sort of celebration that involves penguins or red hats.

[Hmmmm...]

The alcoholic beverages present around here probably are the only familiar element I see.

[And that's only because they're alcoholic, really]

[escardos]

I don’t think Christmas involves penguins, actually…usually it’s reindeer?

[ he taps his chin, a bit confused at the penguin decoration, too. ]

Oh, do you guys celebrate with alcohol, too?

[perceivedrevalry]

Is there any place that doesn't, Flat?

[It's medieval times, 50% of beverages are alcohol at all times, except not because it's Legend of Zelda and therefore it's for all ages]

[escardos]

Hmmm…

[ give him a second, he’s seriously thinking about it.

A children’s birthday party!

[ ***he has never been to a hispanic children’s birthday party. ]

[perceivedrevalry]

[According to Google, birthday parties are a somewhat recent invention, meaning Revali asks:]

...and what's a birthday party supposed to be?

[Noting the children part as well, but hey, he doesn't even know what those parties are, haha]

[escardos]

It’s when you celebrate a person being one year older on their day of birth! It can be a small reunion or a big celebration.

[ not so much in mage society, though. something like that is trivial in the search of the root or whatever… ]

We don’t usually have them in my class, but they’re fun.

[perceivedrevalry]

...wouldn't that mean people would have to be hosting those celebrations every day, at all times? At least one at all times?

[Constant parties? How would anyone get anything done?]

[escardos]

Not really...? Unless you know one person for every day of the year? I know I don't.

[ and he's supposed to be the social butterfly. ]

Either way, you only do it for the people you really like or those that like their birthday.
