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.

[She beams under the touch, a snow kissed pink to her face from the temperature as she adjusts the oversized scarf around her neck.]

I didn't know you did all kinds of art... They're so good, Hua-chan.

Has Chijin seen his yet, or is it a surprise for later?

[ cute - he's fond, in a way that's usually only visible for xie lian. a few people have earned that, since their time in the realm. ]

I do, yes. You've seen my ink painting, but I've done great murals and halls of statues, before. Even architecture. [ a glance to the fierce beast he's sculpting at the moment. ]

He hasn't seen this one just yet, I don't think, though that doesn't mean he hasn't seen the others. [ hua cheng, ]

You've had a lot of time to practice, haven't you...? [800 years is so much time she can't hardly wrap her head around it, but if you got to spend it practicing art for somebody you loved, then she can imagine you'd get really good!

The mention of "others" gets a tilt of her head, checking the statues that are already standing with a confused furrow of her brow.]

Oh... did you make more already? Are they all out here in the snow?
