Jingle Mingle...2



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.

[glancing around...]

Nobody seems like they're sick, so maybe it's okay?
wtfox: you might be wondering if that was a typo ... it's not (i got locked into my place today)

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-12-12 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
...let's maybe give it a little time to be sure, just in case.

[nodding slowly... but then the smile returns.]

Still, this is pretty cool, right? All the food looks amazing.
wtfox: and no one found me until the morning but i have fifty missed calls (apparently i disappeared)

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-12-12 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Someone went to a lot of effort to put this all together!

...I just kind of wonder who?
heartlands: (pic#14961327)

[personal profile] heartlands 2021-12-12 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Me too, but since this is just a party, I don't mind so much! I would have liked an invitation, sure, but it's nice to see everyone again in one place.
wtfox: so i'm following him and buying stuff that he's buying (i found a hot guy at the grocery store)

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-12-12 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
...you're a pretty forgiving person, huh? Well, I guess I already knew that.
heartlands: (pic#14961327)

[personal profile] heartlands 2021-12-12 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
What's there to forgive? We're here with our friends and good food!
wtfox: why did i wake up next to a stuffed swordfish? (riddle me this)

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-12-12 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, the part where we got here by being kidnapped?

[


lila definitely got stuffed in a sack to get here because she is Bad]

[personal profile] heartlands 2021-12-12 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
...Wait, what?
wtfox: with a note that said "the gummy army won" (woke up covered in gummy bears)

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-12-12 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
...were you not shoved into a burlap sack?
heartlands: (pic#14895025)

[personal profile] heartlands 2021-12-12 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, definitely not! I think I would remember that.

[...]

Wait, were you?
wtfox: there was a yo-yo incident... (i'm going to be later than expected)

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-12-12 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Yes!

[she huffs]

Who does that?!
heartlands: (pic#14961330)

[personal profile] heartlands 2021-12-12 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
Someone who sucks! Are you okay?
wtfox: there is a chicken living in your old room ... so i would assume cleaning that is now on them (also in case they didn't tell you)

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-12-12 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
I'm fine, but whoever did that to me won't be if I--
wtfox: you might be wondering if that was a typo ... it's not (i got locked into my place today)

[she realizes there are other people around who might overhear this and takes a breath to calm down.]

...anyway, I'm mad about it, but like, we're here now, sooo...
heartlands: (pic#14961327)

[personal profile] heartlands 2021-12-12 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
...So, we should get some food!

[she seems like she could use a distraction.]
wtfox: because they had and i quote "calamari on the hoof" (you abruptly started screaming)

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-12-13 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
...right!

[honestly that's probably better than stewing over being mad about getting shoved into a sack.]

They've definitely got a lot of different options...

[personal profile] heartlands 2021-12-16 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
What do you want to try first? All of this looks pretty great.

[food.....]
wtfox: i'm made of fruit (no one can touch me)

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-12-16 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe a dessert or two?
