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.

She holds the mistletoe even higher. ]
What am I about?
[ It's a low hanging fruit, but if she's the one who grabs it, no one else can hold it against her. ]
no subject
But if he's allowed and being invited, then he doesn't mind indulging her (hah, as if he ever has). He moves closer and reaches out to rest his hands on her waist, though he does look around to see how many kids, if any, are in the near vicinity.]
That's hardly an easy thing to answer, Your Majesty. [But he says it warmly, lightly amused--it's a compliment.]
no subject
Her feelings for him are it's fucking complicated as it ever is, but that won't stop her from whatever this is. Her eyes glitter with her amusement, and she shifts closer to him. ]
You always did know the right thing to say.
no subject
Haha, it comes easily around you. [Which is the truth, as much as it sounds like flattery. But he doesn't hesitate to lean down and kiss her after that.]
no subject
She laughs before she kisses him back. If they're stuck here for however long, she'll relax, too, and do whatever she wants without thinking too deeply about it. ]
It's one of the things I miss about you.
no subject
But for now, he's content just to enjoy this--a familiar intimacy warmed by a cozy setting, but not so safe as to be boring.]
I missed you too. [It's much easier to acknowledge now that they're not stuck in murder hell.
As he speaks he nimbly plucks the mistletoe from her hand, tucking it into his back pocket; that done, he laces their fingers together, tugging her over towards one of the large, plush chairs nearby.] How are things back home?
no subject
She lets him lead her without any resistance. It's nice to be served in other ways sometimes. She waits for him to seat himself first because of course she wants to sit on his lap. ]
Oh, the world's been bleached.
[ She makes it sound like it isn't a huge deal. ]
no subject
And as we've established, she is allowed to do whatever she wants--and he seems to expect that that's what she wants, since that's precisely where he pulls her once he's seated. It's a thoughtless gesture, one that speaks of old habit. It's too easy to fall back into this, and he should probably care more about that than he does, but whatever. That's a problem for later.]
Is that good for you, or bad? [What the fuck does that MEAN]
no subject
Neither, because I can jump to another world if I need to.
[ When goldenending a murdergame gives you an unfair advantage and you're self-serving above all. ]
It's bad for everyone else back home. They're working on fixing it.
no subject
You don't care what happens to it? [To her home world, though he asks it with neutral curiosity. Whatever answer she has to give won't garner any particular judgment from him.]
no subject
I care more about losing than about losing that world. It's not the only world out there.
[ Maybe it seems heartless because she is, but she can guess what's going to happen next. ]
Chaldea's Master cares and will find a way to get it back even if it'll be at the cost of her own conscience.
