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.

...do you think they have those things around here?

... Should we look?

...it can't hurt to!

Then we'll go out to search!

I'm sure Sholmes won't reject a present from two cute girls, as long as we save him a truthful explanation. [ :) ]

[she giggles]

Hopefully he won't deduce the truth!

Knowing him, he'll probably be like...

[ She poses dramatically, pretending to flick the bill of some imaginary cap. ]

Ah, there's no need for you children to worry about my physical health! I'll have you know that my daily exercise is what keeps me at top form! [ She does her best impression of that stupid grin of his, falling out of character soon after. ]

That old man can hardly even put his leg on the table.

Hee hee! That sounded a lot like him!

[A+ impression, reze!!]

Maybe he doesn't do much with his legs, but he knows how to throw a punch. He even taught me how to! See? [she demonstrates, punching the air] ...it'll really surprise my friends from home when they see it.

[ Oh!

Claps!! BRITT YOU HEATHEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

That was pretty good! ... Though I could've taught you better. I'm pretty sure I can knock that guy out.
