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.

Huh?

[ he follows her gaze and - oh. ] Oh, yeah. Snowmies. Haha - Snow, plus homies. They're supposed to be me and my bros.

[ as he points to each in turn - the red hat wearing one button is - ] Ichiro, [ the blue hat one with two buttons is ] Jiro, [ and the three button one with a yellow hat is ] Saburo.

[ what a dork ]

[illuminance]

Very cute.

Though I think if my brother wore something like that I might perish from the embarrassment.

[ yes? because she has a very different relationship with her brother?? ]

[steelo]

[ thinking about her brother for a minute ....

yeesh ] Maybe we'll get you one and you can just match us, instead.

[illuminance]

I wouldn't want to intrude on someone else's happy snowman family.

Or did you want to embarrass me?

[steelo]

[

hey ]

That's not what I meant!

[illuminance]

... I suppose I can forgive you, seeing as how you did bring me a treat.

[ even if it's a little bit hard to eat a candy apple with dainty bites. she's doing her best... ]

[steelo]

Haa, Lux-chan's got jokes...

[ he's a little red cheeked but good natured about it, at least. watching her be dainty with the candy apple is also funny ]

... You know you gotta - like, go ham on it, right?

[illuminance]

[ no!!! ]

... What does that mean?

[steelo]

Oh. Like, y'know.

[ he mimes

taking a really big bite. this answers nothing ]

[illuminance]

[ she nods slowly, but she's still trying to figure out why it's called going ham... is it because that's how you should eat ham... this is very confusing. ]

[steelo]

[. . . ]

Actually, I dunno why it's like that.... I guess people'd say go crazy, go stupid, too, but why go ham....


[ .... ]

Anyway. They're kinda hard to eat if you don't really go at it.

[illuminance]

... I'll manage...

[ she's stubborn and has delicate noble-girl sensibilities. you can't just? eat??? ]

[steelo]

Haha. If you want, I can cover you - nobody's gotta know if they can't see it, right?

[ he is big and broad ] I won't look!

[illuminance]

I've been rather soured on people covering for me, I'm afraid.

[ haha ]

[steelo]

[ with enough distance

he just snorts ]

Yeah. C'mon, eat it out in full view, then! No holds barred! [ and then, a little quieter, like he's imitating the chanting of an audience - ] Lux-chan, Lux-chan, Lux-chan... !
