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:

[she knew this already, of course, given how much time she spends in ghost city. but it never fails to impress her.]
Perhaps when he returns, you and I could take a walk there together?
no subject
[ yin yu has never actually seen hua cheng's cave of gods, probably, but he's seen every other tribute to taizi dianxia his boss has made and there are
a lot. so. yeah, he's talented in any medium. the smile stays on his face, and he nods, taking a sip from the tea. ] ... And, I'd like that. A bit of a reprieve from all of the hubbub - if you would like to, as well.
no subject
[but it's not really about the sculptures... at least, not solely that. she could walk around anywhere and be happy as long as she was walking with him.
actually, she should just say so.]
After all, I do quite enjoy taking walks with you, Yin Yu.
no subject
As do I - no purpose necessary.
[ just spending time with flayn is a purpose in and of itself, after all. not patrolling together, not working, but just... relaxing in each other's company. it is very nice. ]
... Though, I wonder if you perhaps have a similar aim as you had the last time we were here, with such a walk?
[ teasing, gently, but he distinctly remember's flayn's Mistletoe Mission ]
no subject
Well, if it turned out that way, I certainly would not be at all disappointed.
[if they just so happen to pass under some mistletoe on the way out, who could blame her? ...but her attention is on him, today; she doesn't seem to be looking for doorways that have mistletoe pinned to them at all.]
Perhaps you are the one with such an aim this year?
