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.

[Sieghart has no qualms with eating other people's food on a normal day. Putting that aside, though, it's not like the food here belongs to any one person in particular. Still, he stays his hand at her command.]

Kids these days. You want it that badly?
overshaded: (73)

[personal profile] overshaded 2021-12-12 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's still a little awkward from her end whenever Sieghart's involved, but that will never stop her from food. ]

Yeah.

[ Whatever he was reaching for is now being eaten. ]

[Goodbye, sweet chocolate croissant.]

Then you can have it. You're still growing, after all.

[He's not awkward at all. In fact, he's in a good mood as he opts to drink some of the plum wine he got from Ichiro instead.]

I didn't grow for a long fucking time.

[ It's not long from his perspective, but when you're only 17 or 17+5, any amount of years is a while. ]
ercnerd: (31)

[personal profile] ercnerd 2021-12-12 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
That doesn't mean you can't.

[Ah, the good old formative days. What he wouldn't give to—anyway. Kainé. She can definitely grow.]

Anyone can grow wider. Haha!

[ She hears worse things from other people on a daily basis, so that's whatever. ]

I was petrified.

[personal profile] ercnerd 2021-12-12 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
[There's nothing wrong with being chonky, Kainé. She's sure been through the wringer, though.]

But you're not anymore, are you? What's stopping you now?

[personal profile] overshaded 2021-12-12 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ She never said there was anything wrong. Just that there was a period of time where she literally couldn't grow in any way. ]

Being possessed.

[ She's no longer possessed, but she COULD be again. ]
ercnerd: (37)

[personal profile] ercnerd 2021-12-12 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
[She could be, just as she could grow. Positive thinking, little miss.]

What, really?

[Again? She's one popular host.]

It won't be the last.

[ If optimism is what you want from a NieR, find Nier or Emil. ]

[They ain't here, eating his chocolate croissant.]

Are you . . . some sort of a vessel?

[ stares into the abyss

Kainé stuffs more food into her face. ]


Hell no.

[As long as she's enjoying herself, he's happy for her glutinous habits.

But he understand that he's probably not the person for this conversation. She has friends—he's seen plenty of people by her side back in Wiwaldi—while their relationship, if one can call it that, is a touch complicated. So he watches her shove some more food into that blackhole of a stomach that's hers before he exhales.
]

. . . Well, eat up while you can. You have some growing up to catch up on.

[ my notifs

It's not that he isn't the person for this conversation. It's more that she doesn't fully understand the full scope of what happened to her world, and she doesn't care to understand what being a replicant means because her life is hers and the world with the people she loves matters more than Project Gestalt. ]


I'll eat more than my fair share.

[ Without shame. ]

[Attagirl.

People have different priorities. He'd rather dwell on what's good and fun right now.
]

Mm. And then what? There's a lot of interesting sights to see outside.

[personal profile] overshaded 2021-12-20 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
I'll break something.

[ The reality is she will probably keep to herself because parties with so many people are a little too much.

But also, she'd like to break something. ]

You are so violent . . .

[Kainé, Sakyou, even Catra—he doesn't have enough hands and fingers to count them all. It would be nice if they can realize the joy of napping under the shade of a tree versus punching something out someday.]
overshaded: (60)

[personal profile] overshaded 2022-01-24 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
[ She shrugs. ]

What about it?

[ This is how life made her. She didn't used to be violent. ]
