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.

[He blinks, and then smiles when he sees the other, nodding at his request. It's always good to see Sakyou.]
I-I'd really love that. Let's go. They look real pretty...
no subject
Shall we, then? [AWAAAY INTO THE FRIGID OUTDOORS. He'll lead the way, stopping only to set his glass down somewhere. Bye glass he won't miss you or pick you up again. As he moves:] You look well, crowd aside. I hope your time at home has been treating you kindly...?
no subject
[He'll follow the other happily, hoping deep down that this is just a regular nice holiday party thing and not, like, another murdergame.]
What 'bout you? You doing well?
no subject
ANYWAY, Sakyou's also very much thinking the same sort of things, and the vaguely anxious air is probably at least a little palpable despite his best efforts to keep his expression free of it. It's fine, they're all doing their best here.]
I have only heard a very little bit of her, but she does sound formidable. [RIP to everyone who crosses that lady, god bless. As for the question, his head inclines a little.]
Readjustment was... a difficult matter, in some ways. But things are going well.
[He doesn't have his DEMON SWORD on his person, for one.]
no subject
[Yeah, he's noticed that! Also please let CRAU2 be a psyche-out holiday party. It's what we deserve.]
Did you take care of...that thing?
no subject
You may have to ask him for tips...
[If Mandricardo will be spending more time around the both of them, that is. DON'T PERISH Y'ALL!! Anyway, there's a little twinkle of amusement in his demon eye at the disdain in Mandricardo's phrasing, in any case. Then, with a little nod:]
It is nearly a settled matter. [Fortunately for him and unfortunately for me, aki, he was locked out of his worst end options the second he became aware of the fact that he was possessed. (anna voice) tch.] It seems I was finally able to enjoy some good fortune. Nearly everything that I set out to do, I've been able to.
[Including BLOOD REVENGE.]
I had wished to visit more of you sooner and share the news, but most everyone seems to have their hands full. I suppose I'm thankful for this interlude for that reason, forced as it may be.
