Jingle Mingle...2

[alittlefuninstead]

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.

[the fact that this is the thing revali decides to defend is kind of hilarious, and sora holds up both hands in a sort of "no offense!" motion. nevertheless, he shrugs.]

Just checking. But it's sort of what we do as heroes. We travel to different worlds to get rid of the Heartless and prevent them from falling to darkness.

[this is the easiest way to explain it! also god he truly wishes it was that he had a lot of time and zero responsibilities, but here they are.]

This place should be fine though.

[perceivedrevalry]

[Revali spent two months getting told so many concepts and things he hadn't ever seen before, stuff almost everyone else was familiar with, so he's beginning to wonder if his world is really that much of an outlier, hah]

Ah. Heroes. Alright.

[Somehow, hearing that does get Revali to soften just a little bit. He can respect heroes, definitely]

Of course I'm sure you understand you saying 'this place should be fine' doesn't mean dropping your guard is a good idea. We did get brought here without warning and nobody has come forth to claim responsibility for it.

[He's keeping his eye out in case this turns out to be another murdergame. Worry not, Revali, this isn't a surprise CRAU murdergame, that's later next year and there's
a chance you won't be in it]

[reconnective]

[given the fact that sora has made friends that were living inside a whale, and also halloween town, and also places like the toy box? revali's world is almost normal.

granted, he hears him say that and all sora hears is "blah blah world order blah blah danger." he gets the sentiment, but he still seems to be more or less relaxed.]

That's true. But people still have their inventory and I still have all my powers. So I think this is probably better than any of our games have been. [...he wants to ask revali about what he's experienced, but he suddenly remembers something important.]

I'm Sora. [nice to meet you, etc.]

[perceivedrevalry]

You're not wrong. I do still have all my magic and presumably the capacity of flight.

[He found out he has his magic because he absolutely cheated in a snowball fight with Rin Okumura, but he doesn't mention that part, hah]

...Revali. The Rito Champion.

[Using his title in introductions around here because hey, all these strangers who probably went through their own murder experiences don't know him and therefore he should make himself sound as impressive as he can]

[reconnective]

[there's an idle glance at revali's bird hands before there's an approving nod. flying is awesome, so he's valid.]

Nice to meet you, but, uh,...what's Rito?

[perceivedrevalry]

[These are some big feathery hands, haha.

That question...Revali sighs, having forgotten that yeah, nobody has seen a Rito before. Still isn't used to getting asked that]

What you see right in front of you. Rito is the name of my race.

[reconnective]

Oh! [whoops! wow, jeez, he should have maybe figured that out. but there's a noise of understanding as he nods.] So that means you're the best of your race? If you're a champion or whatever. Cool...

[nope. does not care what that actually means, it's just a neat title and he's here for it.]
