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.

[ mood

from behind, xie lian is watching yuri pick up some sort of sweet that he doesn't recognize. jiii.... ]

[senjinrouha]

[ wow. love that feeling of being watched.

yuri just pauses and then tilts his head back to look at the ceiling. ]

Yes?

[yueshen]

What are you eating?

[ well, no hesitation as he comes over, then!!!

ruoye chitters happily and reaches over to bonk his head into yuri's arm. hello! ]

[senjinrouha]

[ hello daemon-formerly-known-as-san-lang. yuri gives him a little tap on the head with his finger before looking back at his food. ]

Some kind of cookie I think? It's... different to what I'm used to. [ it is in fact the most perfect christmas treat, leubkuchen. ]

It's good. Give one a try.

[yueshen]

[ ... he will take it!

really, xie lian is a terribly picky eater even now, so yuri can see him give it a sniff. ]

...This place reminds me a bit of that hotel.

[ but because he trusts yuri, he will take a delicate little bite! it is actually pretty good, and he nods his head as he's chewing... ]

[senjinrouha]

[ sneef. ]

... A little, huh. You doing okay?

[yueshen]

En. [ an agreeing noise! things at home sure are something right now - really, upon inspection, he looks very tired. ]

I am. I'm glad to be here with you all, certainly.

[senjinrouha]

... Hopefully it's all going to be a little less.... [ murdery. ] Violent here.

...

The snow and everything not bothering you? [ because the last time they were surrounded by this much snow it was a Time. ]

[yueshen]

[ yuri you big softie

oh. it takes him a moment of realization, but... he shakes his head. (there's not really a good way to say things have gotten so much worse in my life that's like, nothing! actually.) ]

No, not at all. [ ... ruoye rubs against his arm. ] Thank you, though - you're as kind as ever, Yuri.

[senjinrouha]

[ shh don't go telling everyone? ]

It was a crap week. Not checking would be kind of a dick move.
