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.

[Somehow that this is hardly the first time...makes this better and worse at the same time. Huh. Well, if it happens only when it's winter then maybe he can deal with it, if only because he'll have time to prepare himself for the shenanigans. Alright]

So...this is all pretty much a large-scale version of the usual antics people got up, hm.

[The parties and games and booths and what not. Fine. Tolerable enough]

[uncoincidental]

...that's what it looked like in their memories, anyway!

[she shrugs]

I'm glad for the chance to get to see you again... I just wish I'd known it was coming.

[perceivedrevalry]

...I would be willing to come if there was any sort of forewarning.

[Well! At least he's admitting that much! That he's willing to be here and mingle is quite something, really. Despite everything, Revali did soften up in some ways]

Although I didn't expect to see myriad of strangers as well. When I regained my senses I expected to see the forty of you again -- the new faces were a surprise.

[uncoincidental]

They were a surprise to me, too. [...] I guess the fact that I could use Psynergy in the first place should also have bene a clue that it was probably going to be okay...

[well. they're here now! murder does not seem to be on the table! so even if they weren't forewarned, they can at least enjoy themselves.]

What had you been getting up to, before you ended up here?

[perceivedrevalry]

Even though it's all peaceful, that doesn't mean Ritos will stop practicing archery. It will always be part of our identity, and as such, I have taken the role of archery instructor. They're flocking to me, although I suspect it's because they all want to know how I'm alive in the first place.

[Not even a day passed before someone noticed there was this guy who looked exactly like Revali and had a bow like Revali's and later they found out could fly like Revali and what not. Everyone knows the hero is back in town, somehow alive. Some people were a bit disenchanted he's a jerk, but even despite that he continues being almost universally adored among Ritos]

I hope you have continued to push yourself forward and reaching new heights.

[uncoincidental]

That's probably part of it, but also... of course they're flocking to you! Because you're back, now they have the chance to learn from the best.

[she grins.]

I have been! There are plenty of monsters to fight even in some of the places I visit, so none of my skills have gotten rusty. I've been improving a lot!

[perceivedrevalry]

[Ah, good! Revali seems quite pleased Sheba isn't letting her abilities go to waste]

Rin is looking for a snowball fight. You should practice your skills further by defeating him -- using wind to your advantage is a good plan.

[Here's Revali encouraging something that's technically cheating, wow]

[uncoincidental]

Ooh - that sounds like a great idea!

[REVALI, ENCOURAGING SHEBA TO CHOOSE VIOLENCE]

[perceivedrevalry]

Rin uses fire to tunnel through snow. Don't let him out of your sight.

[EMBRACE THE VIOLENCE SHEBA YOU GOTTA MAKE RIN GO DOWN]

[uncoincidental]

I'll keep that in mind. He won't beat me!
