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.

You should sing with me!

[ :) ]

Hmm... No thanks. You've got it covered.

You think a girl whose spent her entire life in an ammunition room knows the lyrics to more than one Christmas song?

You really think I spend my time listening to Christmas music enough to know a ton of songs?

You guys must've talked about covering a song at least once.

No...? It's not really our style.

Well I guess this is as good as it gets!

[ hm?? you good, reze?? ]

I can still play. I'm just not going to sing for any of it. If someone else wants to do carols, they're welcome to it.

Oh my god.

[ She comes to sit right next to him, bringing out her phone. ]

What are some Christmas songs? I'll look up the lyrics.

[ ...he stops playing, the last few notes fading pathetically and his voice dropping to a mumble. ]

If I thought I was good enough to sing in front of an audience, I would. [ even for a bunch of dumb christmas songs. idiot. ] There's that Mariah Carey song, I guess? Or Christmas Eve.

[ She leans closer to him, dropping her head onto his shoulder. ]

I'd tell you to just stop overthinking it, cause these aren't, like... fans or whatever... but I'm not going to force you to do anything you don't want to. You know that. Just play 'til your hearts content. [ Anyway. ] All I want for Christmas?

[ did you know mcr has a cover for this?????? ]

I need to overthink it if I'm going to make a career out of it.

[ the way that i ran to youtube for this cover ]

Yeah, that's the one. You know it?

[ apparently it's her most popular song in japan, who knew ]

[ She's just gonna lean in and kiss him right on the cheek. ]

If you stress out and give yourself gray hairs, I'm gonna be upset.

[ Anyway -- ]

Nope! But I'll look up the lyrics.

I could just bleach my hair, if that happens. A lot of people like that look.

[ it might be easier to listen to it first... but honestly, kazuki's curious how she'll sing it without knowing the song, so he won't suggest it. ]

Alright, let me know when you're ready then.

[ She stares at him, completely ignoring that last part.

Bleached hair Kazuki...

??? ]

I like you like this, though.

[ hm?? ]

Ah... Thanks.

[ well now he's a little embarrassed. ]

You're blushing?

[ hello? ]

No.

[ i mean it's not like he has a mirror to see if he is or not but he'll deny it regardless

whatever!! time to play the song!! ]

[ But he probably feels his cheeks heating up! He can't act oblivious with the girl who was trained for this. ]

You are~

[ Whatever! She's more or less distracted by his face so no singing from her end. Sorry. ]
