[May's Mod Open Post]
The days have been getting shorter and those who keep an eye on the calendar and who have been through it once already know what it portends: a difficult month ahead. Dark is arriving soon. With this knowledge, perhaps the spirits of the mansion take pity on the residents, because when they wake up one morning, the first thing they'll notice is new snowfall on the ground. Dry, light, powder. Perfect for skiing. The second thing they might notice is the mountain that wasn’t there the night before, reaching up into the sky. A moderately-sized wooden building is nestled near the base of the mountain. If they approach it, they will find a delightful surprise: a ski lodge.
Inside, the lodge is just the place you might want to find yourself on a crisp winter's day: cozy, warm, and sumptuous. The fireplace is at a sonically-pleasing crackle, and the conversation pit beside it is well-appointed with plush furniture: armchairs, sofas that threaten to swallow unsuspecting sitters whole, and ottomans.
Loungers can avail themselves of hot chocolate, hot toddies, and any other comfortingly hot drinks they might like to stave off the chill. Fondue pots are simmering with cheese and chocolate alike, the fondue forks are plentiful, and curious mansion residents can choose to dip pieces of crusty bread, slices of apple and pear, and even marshmallows (some might recommend reserving the marshmallows for the chocolate fondue, but who are we to tell you what to do?).
Behind the area with the fireplace, there is a rental counter stocked with ski and snowboarding equipment of all kinds as well as sleds and inner tubes. If your character would like to rent anything or ask about the amenities, they can speak with the INDIVIDUAL STANDING BEHIND THE DESK. Off to the side, there is a small hallway that leads to a dry sauna, a steam sauna, and a semi open to air portion of the ski lodge that has a small hot spring for soaking in. There are fluffy white robes and towels available nearby.
Once they pass through the ski lodge, right outside of the back door is a gently sloping area, which includes both a sledding and tubing area as well as a bunny slope for the beginners. There is also an area with benches and flattened snow: the ski lift boarding zone. The ski lift will take them up the mountain to reach a variety of more advanced slopes. If anyone has any questions about either the ski lift or skiing, as a concept, they can speak with the INDIVIDUAL STANDING BESIDE THE SKI LIFT.
The sun is shining and the snow is powdery, heralding a perfect day for some winter fun. The ski lodge will be around for a few weeks before Dark hits.
[[Prose or threading are both welcome on this post! The two interactions bolded in dark will trigger NPC events. This is the perfect, chill post before the advent of Dark to take a breather and post a little prose comment. Please update us with how your puppets have been faring this winter and what they're partaking in at the ski lodge!]]
