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.

Anyway, though Wei Wuxian keeps the exterior of his buoyant and obnoxious demeanor firmly intact, it'd be clear to anyone who knows him that the gears are already turning in his little noggin as he churns this information over, mind immediately racing to fifty different places at once.]
Mmm, yes, that's about average, I think. The number and the, ah, "guides". I've even heard of a place that had a bit of a storybook-y background to it, too! Funny, that.
[FUNNY, he says, like they didn't all collectively experience very traumatic things. Anyway, he just waves a hand.]
Cruise first, camp later. Also a long story! But it was around the same number and the camp had three who arrived before the rest of us.

But, hold on.]
You went to two places?
[HE DOESN'T LIKE THAT? HE DOESN'T LIKE THAT. How is he supposed to stop worrying when Wei Wuxian keep saying concerning things!!!]
no subject
Yes, yes! Two places. A few of us did, actually! You see, we ended up whisked away into something of a pocket dimension created by our horrible little demon child that we collectively gave birth to with our combined misery from the other pocket dimensions we'd been fussing around in. Only some of us were still conscious, though! About forty, as usual, hah.
[WELL. Well. ...Well. Like, he's not wrong. ANYWAY MOVING ON.]
What sort of fine creature was behind your storybook adventure, then?
