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.
[ooc: it's mgcu time! this mingle is open to characters from the following:

Oh? Giving me the very sweater off your back? Your generosity truly knows no bounds, Ichiro. I suppose we are the same size.
[they absolutely are not]
no subject
well, she's getting it now! he will absolutely strip out of his sweater and he is wearing a nice black v-neck underneath.
he presents it -- well ] Hey, is that Rupert over there? [ and if she looks away like, sniff checks it really quick to make it doesn't smell gross, and then folds it nicely and beams as ichiro holds it out to her with a big, innocent sunshine grin. ]
no subject
iris is distracted because she loves rupert, so she misses this. probably. even if she noticed it, she'd probably let ichiro keep his pride. but she'll look back when he offers it out to her, and laughs.]
Thank you very much.
[she'll take it, and she'll put it on!! it's giant on her. absolutely ridiculous. it's almost a dress. boyfriend sweater aesthetic is simply unrivaled. she seems terribly amused at her meme outfit, and will just triumphantly set her hands on her hips]
Alright, I'm Santa now. How do you say... Yo! [stop] Hehe, what wish can I grant you for Christmas, Ichiro?
[she's like || this close to making a 'want to sit on my lap' joke but she's pretty sure it'd kill him so she will be merciful and refrain]
no subject
she's so cute.................. this is too cute................. ]
no subject
anyway. he ends up laughing, a little surprised when she puts her hands on her hips and says that - it's not really surprising, but, still! very iris! and grins, reaching up to scratch his cheek. ]
Pretty good, pretty good! Haha. First wish's for my bros to have a good Christmas. That one's a piece of cake. Second... it'd be dope to get everybody together again - but, looks like we did that already, even if it wasn't on purpose.
Third... I could really go for a coke right now. [ a joke but also ]
no subject
but right now it just seems like a solution (does it)]
You always do manage to put other people first... [though she sounds fond, as always.] I suppose a coke is a start to asking for things for yourself.
[she'll reach out then, letting the backs of her fingers peek past the cuff of the sweater and brush against his arm]
Come, let's get you something then. We'll have to find a way to keep you warm now that you've let me rob you so.
no subject
he will get up from his position on the floor, then, with an easy hop! and brush his hands off on his jeans. it's easy to fall back into this - ichiro can't help his smile down at her, boyish as he ducks his head. ]
What can I say? Maybe I can ask for some good gacha luck. Would that be a start, too? [ iris give him your gacha blessing
but he will let her lead the way. ] A gift's a gift, no robbing required. Someone told me I should get a santa suit, so maybe we can find one of those. Ha.
no subject
[iris: for christmas i'll make you a WHALE
but once he's standing, she'll let her hand come to rest on the crook of his elbow as they walk around - she's just so used to being escorted, and she does want to make sure he doesn't get too cold]
I wonder how many people here already know about Santa... You could help spread the legend far and wide. Though they may grow disappointed when they discover not all Santas rap.
no subject
ichiro waves his hand with a big, bright laugh. this is why ended up getting doki for you, iris!! ]
Aw, nah, nah, I can't accept that. I gotta work hard for my gacha currency, you know? Got bills to pay, so it's extra special when I earn enough to do a roll or three. Thanks for the offer though. Less you got something you want me to win for you, to hold onto for you when you get the chance to come around? Limited edition runs and stuff.
[ nerds. he doesn't mind at all to escort iris, though, leading the way with ease. he still has nice biceps. ]
Heh. Iunno, I was teaching Lan Wangji about the magic of Christmas earlier. So... a lot of people are pretty ancient, and not fake ancient like you and Kon. [ teasing. ] Rapping Santa does sound like a pretty sweet gig, though. Guy's magic, right? He can do whatever he wants. Sometimes he raps, who knows.
