Jingle Mingle...3!



Ah, yes. Third verse, same as the first! For some of you, the sudden onslaught of crystalized, chilly snowflakes may come as a surprise as you’re swept up in an icy sort of cyclone. Some of you may have already been bracing yourselves as the storm set upon you. But regardless of whatever group you’re in, you’ll soon find yourself being lifted off of your feet and tipping forward, free-falling through a whimsical, colorful interdimensional space. A door opens before you, and soon you tumble out of…a tree?

Yes. That’s right. You find yourself falling out of the trunk of a tree at the top of a snowy hill, looking down at a small village adorned with twinkling lights and the sound of music in the air. Too bad you can’t turn back now. The door has swung closed and all you are faced with is a painting of a Christmas tree.

Right then. Best to explore! There are plenty of places you can go and things to do while you’re here, but the proprietor of this village kindly asks that you do not resort to murder. For real. This is a place for winter fun and not bloodshed, and should anyone resort to violence they will find a large pile of snow falling straight on their head to cool off. There’s a little something for everyone, and all it takes is a little bit of adventure to find your holiday magic.

❄️Skiing, snowboarding, and toboggans, oh my
Even before you make your way down the hill and toward the village, you’ll find a building nestled among some trees holding all sorts of winter items including skis, snowboards, snow mobiles, toboggans, and sleds. The snow is fresh and the hills are alive with the sound of laughter. Challenge your friends to a race or two, or just take a test run down one of the many slopes scattered around.

❄️Sleigh Rides
For those of you who don’t want to walk down to the village, the sound of jingle bells will soon reach your ears as a horse-drawn carriage arrives. Climb aboard and settle in for a cozy ride over the river and through the woods. The horses are friendly, and while seating might be a little cramped it’s a good excuse to snuggle up to someone, don’t you think?

❄️ Christmas Market
Upon reaching the village, you’ll find that several of the buildings are lit up and decorated with holiday decor galore. There are kiosks serving all kinds of winter treats and drinks (both non-alcoholic and alcoholic in variety), and the best part is they’re free! The doors to the shops are open for all, inviting you in to browse the holiday wares available. You can find just about anything here for that perfect Christmas gift. There’s no limit to what magic can do, even for the casual window shopper. But if you can’t find exactly what you’re looking for…?

❄️ Santa’s Workshop
Ho ho ho? Oh ho! On the outskirts of the village sits a large, multistory building. Should you be brave enough to wander inside, you’ll find all sorts of rooms for arts and crafts to build your own gifts. There’s art studios, pottery wheels, power tools, fabrics, sewing machines, instruments and more. Scratch that creative itch and let your imagination run wild!

❄️ Ice skating
In the center of the village is a large ice rink with a beautifully decorated Christmas tree in the middle. Skates of all sizes are available for anyone to borrow and the ice is always clean and smooth no matter what time of day you come by. Show off some fancy footwork…or just laugh at the poor, unfortunate souls who can’t quite stand still.

❄️The Party
Or maybe you’re only interested in catching up with people you know? As is tradition, there’s always a party for the social type. Hosted at the largest house in the village, there are rooms with fireplaces, games, food and more. There’s an indoor pool in one room with a water slide for those of you feeling a little more daring, and in another room there’s a large projection screen playing countless holiday classics. The music is just as loud here, and just like last time should you require anything special the staff and their assistants will answer every beck and call. Icicles cling to the outside of the house in beautiful patterns, frost drawn across the windows spreading messages of holiday cheer and the occasional game of tic tac toe. The garden out back appears to be more of a Christmas tree farm, boxes of ornaments set in accessible locations for those who wish to do a little bit of decorating.

But it wouldn’t be a holiday party without the time-honored tradition of mistletoe, now would it? Despite having more space than ever, the longer you’re around the less likely you are to escape unscathed. The tricky little plant can appear at random in places you might not expect, and often times it will show up at inconvenient moments. That’s a little troublesome, but worry not! You’ll probably come up with some way to avoid it if you really want to, right?

Good tidings we bring to you and your kin. Embrace this moment and make some new memories.

[this is redacted lup because i said so

her ears do that little cat thing where they flick when they've acknowledged that a human exists, and she turns and goes to like, pick him up? she bear hugs him. it's probably for like maybe five seconds because she has noodly wizard appendages, but she does her best. he also gets a big kiss on the side of his cheek, a muwah.]


I am the gift. [uwu]

[ HELP I LOVE YOU AND HIM

here's xie lian!! in his white silks and his silly straw hat, clasping his hands together and smiling at sora, greeting him with his usual polite bow. ]


Hello, Sora! How very helpful of you. [ and then, turning around to show him his own little scrap collecting burlap sack on his back as he says, very cheerfully: ] I like your sack!

[it'd be funny but i'll have mercy

she squawks when flayn throws herself at her, and then dissolves into laughter. she doesn't fall into the snow immediately - instead, she catches flayn and hugs her very tightly, spinning them both in a circle before falling back into a snow pile.]


Damn, girl, you got me good. You been working out? [at least she sounds the same, so she's not that put together and grown up, thank god.]

[JOKES ON YOU HARROWHARK DOES THIS TO HER ALL THE TIME

which is to say lup lets out a little shriek and dances away, bringing up cheating wizard shields to block the snowballs. if there's a break in the barrage, she casts otto's irresistible dance on the skeleton hands. do skeleton hands dance? she's trying.

she also makes a face at nico because she's mature for a five year old.]

Well, finders keepers. [ nods ] Which ornament goes first, do you think?

[ he's not putting it on but he is absolutely eyeing this wreath like a connoisseur. ]

It's good to see you too, babe. I'm good, uh... hoping the trend of these things stopping time back home is still a thing, considering Uk'otoa just got out and we were going to ship out, but you know, whatever. Lots of shit happened.

What about you, how're you? How's the boy? Did you guys get married yet or what? [awkward]

Dude, definitely the fireball. Have you ever had that shit? It burns the whole way down.

[she says this while taking a drink of whatever is in her glass. it's probably something fancy and not wine. she's a little sick of wine. lucky for gu yun, also, she's one of the only people who won't insist her puts a coat on because one, he's a grown-ass man and she's not the boss of him, and second, she's also stripped her coat off by now and is wandering around in her sleeveless croptop turtleneck bullshit. the cold is for people with poor metabolism.]

[there's an indignant little noise once he feels the hat on his head, but he also does nothing to pull it off.]

Efficient.

You don't get to make a face when you started it, Lup.

(he truly does not mind, because again, mom.) meow wow also squeaks at her feet.]


Yeah, okay. I guess I could agree with that.
