SNOW FUN

11/11 - 11/15

By the middle of the second week of November, the winter snow has spread out from the Pool of Tears and into the rest of the hotel. It falls gracefully in the hallways, the bar, the restaurants, even the nightclub and the gym. There's a gentle chill in the air, though there never seems to be more than a faint dusting of snow on the floor and it doesn't gather on the furniture.

The lobby quickly becomes a different story. Here, the snow begins to stick, and hotel staff can be seen piling it up in some kind of structures.

"Snow forts!" they will exclaim excitedly, and do their best to get any curious Oysters to help or make their own.

Shoes and foot coverings are still not available other than the ice skates in the pool area, but any Oysters who participate will find that the snow feels soft and fluffy beneath their bare feet, not cold at all.

Before long, multiple snow forts have been built in the lobby. It is then that hotel staff will start a game of capture the flag. Oysters will be encouraged to join one of the two teams and either try to sneak into the opposing side's heavily guarded forts to steal their flag, or guard the forts of their own team.

The game will span multiple days, and all Oysyers who join in the fun for any of it will receive a special reward!

HOW ABOUT A CUP OF TEA

11/12 - 11/23

If you can avoid all the commotion in the lobby to get to them, there are a few cozy spots tucked away that certainly weren't there before. Fire places have sprouted up in these, and though no one ever seems to tend to them, there's always a fire crackling merrily away. The fires seem to change colors, and will never be the same color twice.

"Of course it changes colors," hotel staff will scoff if asked. "Next you'll ask how it knows what it knows."

If pressed further, the staff member will share a Wonderland legend about the fire. Anyone who burns something in it and asks it a question will get an answer in the form of a glimpse of the future or a truth of the past.

Sofas, arm chairs, and bean bags are scattered around the fire places, with small tables covered with snacks and hot teas between them. Bookcases have also sprung up here, filled with fiction stories from all different worlds. Except, of course, for anything related to Alice in Wonderland.

BABY IT'S COLD IN HERE

11/24 - 11/ 30

In the final days of November, the novelty of the snow seems to wear thin. The uniforms of the hotel staff change, all of them now wearing coats, hats, and gloves even on duty. Whatever it was that kept Oysters' feet from freezing in the snow begins to fade. The air shifts from crisp and clean to cold and sterile, sinking deep into the bones of anyone who stays out in it too long.

Oysters will find some relief in their rooms, as the snow still doesn’t fall there, and the chill in the air is more bearable. It will drop lower at "night," and Oysters will find it harder to ward off the cold. Unless, of course, they happen to be one of those lucky enough to have someone to keep them warm at night.

Hotel staff won't admit to seeing a problem with this, when asked. Surely this is the perfect time to find that special someone, or discover the benefits of platonic cuddling! Why not try it in front of the fire, first, it does wonders to combat the cold in the hotel lobby!

Of course, their first recommendation is always going to be to enjoy a lovely cup of tea.

If you have any questions, please leave them over here! All characters who participate in the game of capture the flag will receive an item from home (which must follow the same rules as the AC reward) and a superpower tea of the player's choosing. This can be one of the character's own abilities, but it will not be permanent. Any character who chooses to burn something in the fire will be able to see a scene from their future or past. The future scene could be one from further in their canon, or could be a potential future either in canon or at the hotel (feel free to make this up!). The scene from their past can be any scene from their past. Anyone in the vicinity of the fire will be able to see either of these.

He squirms a little beneath that mouth, already feeling his heart rate race. When that hand touches him directly he can't help the moan that drops from his lips. No matter how hard he tries to resist, it's hard to keep quiet when Lan Wangji is playing with his body.

"You've already made me warm. The oil is only a bonus." It will warm him from the inside out in a way that he is excited for.

[inquiryguqin]

Lan Wangji continues to play with his body, knowing the heat of the oil and it's slickness gives him pleasure, and he enjoys watching him just surrendering and giving in to the moment.

He squeezes his member lovingly, going faster, and kisses the back of his nape, nuzzling him. "I'll warm you up some more."

[scaredofdogs]

"Nnng...Please...ah..You're going to make me too hot." There is no such thing as being too hot. And if there is then he will accept it completely. He wants to feel that heat fill his whole body.

His finger tips dig at Lan Wangji's back as the desire fills him. This is the best kind of way to get warm as he feels the other man's body pressed against his own.

[inquiryguqin]

"Become hotter for me, for your gege." He whispered sweetly, so low knowing it turns Wei Ying on when he speaks that way.

He continues to stroke him and squeezes him, and then with the oil, with his other hand, he squeezes one of his soft ass, then slowly pries him open and slides a finger to circle around the puckered muscle, teasing him gently, and seeking entry.

"Do you want me to put my fingers inside of you?"

[scaredofdogs]

He whines softly, opening his legs so that Lan Wangji will have easier access and hopefully prep him faster. "Yesss Lan Zhan. Please...I want you."

Lan wangji's voice with that seductive quality to it is almost too much for him and it brings a bit of color to his face as he feels how turned on it makes him.

[inquiryguqin]

"Easy, going to prepare you. Try to relax, Wei Ying."

With his legs spread, and prying his soft cheeks apart, Lan Wangji slowly slides his fingers inside his hole, starting with one finger, then two, and then three fingers to slowly stretch him, and prep him, wetting his tight inner walls and rubs against his hidden spot, finding him very soft inside. The heat of the oil sparks warmth upon contact.

[scaredofdogs]

He groans and starts to squirm as those fingers prep him. He has gotten so used to this activity that he no longer minds the initial discomfort. It all just feels good to him as he enjoys the contact.

That warmth spreads through him and makes his body tremble with desire, wanting that heat to build when the other man enters inside of him with something much larger then those fingers.

[inquiryguqin]

Lan Wangji learns and knew the shape of his body, and what makes him feel good. Seeing Wei Ying like this makes him happy, that he knew he will devote the rest of his life to him.

Just hearing moans in pleasure, he coos softly for him, whispering his name and endearments as he pumps his fingers inside, teasing and rubbing his hidden depts against that spot that sends pleasure through his body. "Wei Ying, my love."

Eventually, that desire is granted. He pulls out, not leaving him empty, and in replacement, his cock. It's a familiar shape, big in size as he stretches him and push his length to the depths.

Then he starts to move, rocking inside of him, thrusting his cock hard and deep.

[scaredofdogs]

He moans as the other man starts to thrust inside of him. Finally getting what he has been desiring from the start. The prep feels good but it isn't nearly as satisfying as the feeling of their two bodies coming together just like this.

Lan Wangji's name comes out in a flood of moans and nicknames and just words of encouragement as he moves. His mouth a constant state of motion as he hardly knows how to stop himself from talking even in these instances.

[inquiryguqin]

Lan Wangji continues to thrust inside of him, getting into a rhythm. He peppers him with kisses, opens his mouth on his throat, encouraging him to spills words, and be vocal.

"Wei Ying is very cute...you're adorable." He murmured as he pins him tightly in the same position, building up the speed of his thrusts, going harder and faster until he climaxes and comes inside of him, spilling his hot seed.

[scaredofdogs]

He flushes slightly at being called adorable, his entire body heating up not just from that but from those thrusts into him. When he feels the other man release, his own climax follows quickly. His body seizing around Lan Wangji's length as that seed spills over his stomach.

His moans fill the room as he all energy melts from his body and he relaxes against the bed to catch his breath.

[inquiryguqin]

There's only a soft laugh, "Wei Ying." He murmurs his name with so much love and adoration. He kisses him all over again as Wei Ying's body shivers from the pleasure, feeling the glow, as he buries his cock inside of him to make it last as the cums spills and flows, and now with his powers return, he can give his beloved husband the pleasure and bliss of spiritual energy.

"Wei Ying, I love you." He said between kisses. "And I adore you so very much." Once the energy winds down, he pulls out, and he collapsed beside him and curls up for a snuggle on the bed beneath the warm, thick covers.

[scaredofdogs]

"I love you too, Lan Zhan." He curls up with him, letting his breathing slowly come back to normal. He rests his head against the man's chest and closes his eyes.

"I'll love you every day forever." This he can promise and will do so every day for the rest of their lives. He nuzzles against his neck and just breathes in that familiar scent of the man he loves.

[inquiryguqin]

The bedroom is all quiet now, breathing slowly, and the warmth is from their bodies as they curled up with each other and the heat of the fireplace will help them drift to sleep.

His husband is so sweet. "I love you so much, Wei Ying, my dear husband." He realized this despite the errors, hurt, and mistakes they did to each other, his love only grows stronger, deeper, and becoming more absolute than it was before.

"Forever and ever, and no matter what, I will never leave you." He wraps his arms around him, hugging him tightly, and cradles his head to his chest to comfort him and protect him as he makes his promise.

[scaredofdogs]

"I know you won't Lan Zhan." The world may try to tear them apart. They may find themselves in different places someday. But eventually they will always be drawn together. They will find each other no matter where they might end up.

He believes that with all of his heart as he closes his eyes and lets his body relax enough for sleep to take him. Even in dreams he will be by Lan Wangji's side.

[inquiryguqin]

"It's the truth, Wei Ying." He slowly relaxes his hold on him. He promises he won't be going nowhere as he knows his soul is bond to him and that he will take him home, whether back to Gusu or back to their world in one piece no matter what. He knows Wei Wuxian takes his words to the literal heart, a heart that belongs to him, and he won't stand for it for it to be broken by this place.

"Good night, my love. I am ever here by your side." He follows Wei Ying in suit as he drifts off to sleep. Sometimes he dreams, and sometimes he's dreamless.

He holds Wei Ying in his arms, his dear husband everyday. They are inseparable, now and forevermore.
