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.

[Look who's sauntering right over and taking the seat right next to Yuri!]

Come now, it's not that bad. Just find a 'bosom buddy' for the duration and it will be fine.

[aubins]

[ a slut! ]

A "bosom buddy", huh? Is that what they call it now?

[notaccurate]

It's one of the words for it.

[Can he steal a sip from Luca's cup? Because he'll try to, if he can.]

Just imagine: linking arms to travel around the grounds, stopping here and there to engage in joyful merriment. All without the threat of prying eyes or murderous intent, even!

[aubins]

[ call him a "bosom buddy" and he really will burn the mistletoe, luca. but yes, he may sip, yuri's not going to stop him. ]

The lack of murderous intent is really appealing. More of that.

[notaccurate]

Definitely more of that.

...and more of this drink too, just how much 'extra flavor' did you put in here?

[aubins]

It's pretty generously spiked, but I think it's meant to be? I was told it was boozy and warm and that sounded like an excellent combination to me.

[notaccurate]

Boozy and warm is indeed the perfect combination for this little getaway. Though I do hope there's enough bedrooms that we don't have to share. There's over a hundred people here right now.

[And the cute lodge house does not look big enough to have hundreds of rooms.]

[aubins]

Depends on how long we end up here. But the doors probably have locks, you'll just have to be proactive about getting one and not letting people crash there.

[ easy? easy. ]

[notaccurate]

Are you suggesting we should go claim a room already?

[His eyebrows are not literally waggling, but you can hear it in his voice.]

[aubins]

[ ... he tweaks his nose. ]

And miss out on all this food and company, and plants apparently or maybe assaulting us at every turn? Although you could always impress me by fighting off people for a room later on, if you don't feel like being proactive.

[notaccurate]

I don't think many people would argue if I carried you into the room and tossed you down on the bed.

[But sure, he'll snag a room later. Family-friendly fun comes first.]

[aubins]

There might be one or two people who’d be scandalised if you shouted your intentions loudly as you acted them out.

[ he looks amused by that idea though. (lucas voice) I’M GOING TO GET LAID DON’T LOOK FOR ME. ]
