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.

[ daemon... xie lian looks to rinkou again. ruoye is wriggling a little bit in front of her, like it's trying to say hello. the elder version of xie lian has a small smile for rin when he looks so disappointed, apologetic, but he can at least provide an explanation. ]

...Shima was with my group, yes. [ that little goblin ] Actually - I believe it was himself and someone he knew, from the same realm... though, not yourself. Were you the only one from your Realm, young man?

[aono]

[It's all good! Rinkou seems find, and she's making some kind of wolverine chattering noise. Despite being an animal with a reputation for being nasty and mean, she's surprisingly complacent and friendly. Likewise, Rin might look a bit imposing- he does have little horn nubbins and a long white tail, after all- but he practically exudes friendliness.]

Yeah? Who was it? One of our classmates?

[Maybe Bon or Koneko, since they're his childhood friends and all.]

I was with my twin brother Yukio, but it was just the two of us there. Everyone else was from different worlds. Or like...different from us. There were a couple people there from the same world as you, and some others shared worlds too.

[dianxias]

[ he says “my twin, yukio” and something just clicks. ]

…Oh! You’re Rin! There were - ah, there were two others, a young lady, and then — goodness! You’re Shiro’s son, aren’t you!

[aono]

[He's about to ask which young lady, and then more questions about if she survived, but then he hears 'Shiro' and everything else immediately gets thrown out the window because this is way more important.]

You know my dad? ...Dad was in a murder-thing???

[dianxias]

[ xie lian will absolutely not be telling rin that shiro died

instead, he just brightens, immediately, nodding. ] I do! Your father is a very good man - we were very good friends, [ somewhere shiro gets put in the friendzone YET AGAIN ] and I felt lucky to be blessed with his companionship in such times of strife and trouble.
