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…I haven’t told him about that part! But if I did, I would say that it wasn’t your fault! You weren’t there, after all.

[ he tilts his head ]

Did you die?

[robopriest]

Not at all! So I'm doing better than you.

[THIS ISN'T A COMPETITION]

[escardos]

As expected! You’re super strong, after all. But that’s still great to hear, Mister Overseer!

[ but since this is a competition… (no) ]

I got a boyfriend, though. And we’re still together!

[robopriest]

[...]

[He instantly puts down his drink on some nearby penguin's tray.]

You have a boyfriend? You? Tell me about him. I want to know everything.

[His eye is sparkling, like he's a kid...]

[escardos]

I know, it’s surprising!

[ he is probably the most surprised one here, okay? ]

Well, his name is Roxis Rosenkrantz, and he’s an alchemist! Which is kind of like a mage, and not as much like the crazy guys at Atlas. Oh, here—

[ he’ll just go for his phone and sift through pictures in order to find one selfie with roxis… who looks like he doesn’t know where he is or what flat was doing at that moment.

(flat is making a peace sign) ]

See?

[robopriest]

Oh, a name as wild as yours, huh?

[hansa like. that definitely sounds like a mage name honestly]

Ahaha. Is he usually this...confused?

[escardos]

Flat isn’t that wild! It’s as crazy as Hansa.

[ flat chuckles though. ]

A little. He’s easily startled, I think? And our technology is more advanced than in his world, so I thought explaining cameras would be too much work versus just taking a picture of him.

[robopriest]

Hey now, my name's a nice, good, traditional name. Its certainly nothing as wild as "Orlando Reeve", for example.

[somewhere, the man sneezes]

Oh? Are you telling me he doesn't have cameras where he's from? Next you'll say he doesn't know what phones are.

[escardos]

Orlando is totally normal. Isn't that where D*sney World is?

[ how did he do that with his mouth. ]

I mean, I'm not sure? Maybe it's like in the Clock Tower where they don't like technology...but whatever he doesn't know, I'll teach him!

[robopriest]

[............just ignoring that]

Yeah, but that's a city, not something I'd call a man. It's like naming your kid "Ontario" or "Philadelphia".

Hm. [And he considers that next part, before grinning.] You know, a guy like that....can easily be pranked if he doesn't know what he's looking out for.

[WHY IS THIS WHAT YOU THINK OF]
