WINTER WONDERLAND GROUP LOG



When the happy confirmed couples are ready to venture out of their honeymoon suites and experience more that the Winter Wonderland lodge has to offer, they'll find that they're basically staying as some of the only guests in an exquisite, all-inclusive winter resort. Think Sandals, but with snow instead of beaches. While the honeymooners will be whisked away to the camp retreat for the middle week of the competition, there's plenty for them to explore when they return!

As more couples transition from Mistletoe Manor to the resort itself, everyone may run into each other during the day while in search of activities. They might have breakfast together at the buffet, head out on a skiing adventure together, visit the pool without having to worry about cameras zooming in on wardrobe malfunctions, or simply hang out together and enjoy some live entertainment during one of the occasional ballroom concerts. If none of that is particularly tempting, they can entertain themselves by putting together their own events.

Most activities and entertainment are likely available, at least sometimes, at the resort. The only real limitation is that participants aren't allowed to leave the show's general domain - they can't find a nearby town or book a flight out of here, for example. Travel between honeymoon suites and Mistletoe Manor is freely available, and while honeymooners are expected back in their shared beds at night, there's no one really doing nightly checks.

If anyone would like to invite other honeymooners back to their suite for a spell, all they have to do is request an extra key (tell Shay and she'll add the new person/people to the filter)

week 5 (for tatsuma!!)

[the idea of teaching something actually doesn't concern Sena as dumb as she is, because if it's something she's good at, like smashing things really hard with a hammer, then that's not a problem at all. but the note in the envelope specified that this must be something she's unfamiliar with... and "challenging", to boot.

how the heck is that supposed to work??

but the resort is sprawling with plenty to do, and offers more than enough inspiration. and this is how Sena ends up giving herself a 2 hour crash course on How To Ski through peer grit, determination, and trial and error.

lots of trial and error.

but hey, all the snow in her hair's melted by now!]


[after a quick explanation of what she'd been up to all morning and what her letter told her to do:] So? What do you think? It's really fun— and don't worry, it doesn't hurt much when you fall, since the snow cushions most of the impact!

[that's meant to be encouraging!!]

[Eh he's been stabbed and slashed plenty of times before, what's a few falls in the snow.]

Sounds fun. I'll be in your hands.

Then I'll be sure to take good care of you! [tbd........

she'll lead them over to the equipment rental shop, not far from where the lifts are.]


First things first, we gotta get you your gear. I thought there'd be more to it, like, maybe some armor? But apparently all you need is a helmet, aside from the boots.

[she did not wear a helmet when test-driving the slopes, ftr.]

[He trusts in her fully, surely there is no way this can go wrong!!]

And cold weather clothes...?

[That's the only other thing he can really think of.]
