Who: Albinia and YOU
When: Day 51, Afternoon
Where: Common Area
What: Event Thing and another Thing

[Suddenly there's a cold breeze in the common area this afternoon. And in a sudden flurry, a clear part of the room is now COVERED in snow and ice. More than deep enough to play in and there's large, square chunks of ice around, bigger than most people.]

[There's also a few tables. One with jackets and gloves. Another is covered in various tools, mostly stuff that looks like carving, but there's also salt, a few buckets, shovels, etc.]

[There's a sign saying 'Sign Up Here.' Below is a clipboard with a sign up sheet with the words 'Ice And Snow Architecture Contest.']

[Or you could just play in the snow, whatever.]

[Also, anyone trying to break the giant ice chunks before groups will find tools transporting back to the table. And ice not breaking if you try with your hands.]

A Thing

[oi_theoi]

[While most of the tables are covered in things to help build in the snow or just to keep warm, there is one small table. There is also a sign here. 'IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT' is written in bold letters at the top.]

[On the table itself is a small clear container. Inside there is a jar of dirt and a plant in it. The plant is small, looks weak. It's a flower, though something is a bit wrong, with three offshoots of a stem, but only one with a flower on it. An orchid like plant. If you watch long enough, you'll see the color will eventually change. It seems like it might be a supposedly extinct Kaleidoscope Blossom.]

[Should you read the sign further, it explains. 'This is a mid-result of an experiment I am currently performing, but in time, there will be a final and domesticated product of the Kaleidoscope Blossom. For those who do not know, the plant is essentially extinct in the area. I have been able to recreate it from a sample.'

'This is a call to everyone. If you have a sample of a plant that you believe holds value in it's continued existence, be it stored food or spice, etc, then please bring it to me. I will find a way to grow a domesticated version of the plant that the people may continue to harvest and grow.'

'This also applies to making a domesticated version of other plants. If you wish to domesticate something, or simply provide a sample of something before it goes extinct, then please bring it to me.'

'-Albinia.'

[Becca runs off and comes back with a black and a white star flower seed pod.]

Albinia

[oi_theoi]

[And as to be expected, there is Albinia, sitting near the table with the sample of the flower, writing on a clipboard.]

[Feel free to bug her.]

Ice And Snow Architecture Contest

[oi_theoi]

The rules are simple.

You must work with your team. And your team cannot with other teams.

You may use all the tools set up on the tables. Use the ice and snow to build whatever you like, but remember, this is building a 'structure.' It must be something built up, off the ground.

You'll have a few hours.

...have fun. [This was an afterthought.]

Team 1

[oi_theoi]

Turn In

[oi_theoi]

Due at mightnight, EST. Five hours from now. I need one from every team.

Description of Structure:
How the structure was built. Anything interesting done?:
How well did the team work together on a scale of one to ten, one being terrible and ten being awesome:
Was anyone lazy in the project, making others do the work:

Team 3

[homoenculus]

Description of Structure: A small building made of ice. It's a replica of a Chinese-looking palace, large enough for one or two people to stand in. The accents are a bit eclectic (Chinese, Japanese, European) because Iri doesn't know how to architecture, and the details Ling added are most likely Xingese. The carvings done using magic wires are nice and smooth, even if they're not entirely fitting for the building.
How the structure was built. Anything interesting done?: Alchemy. And magic. And good old fashioned carving.
How well did the team work together on a scale of one to ten, one being terrible and ten being awesome: A SOLID 8 AT LEAST. Maybe a 9 because bonding.
Was anyone lazy in the project, making others do the work: Nope :|a

Final Result.

[oi_theoi]

Team 3: All members will receive a fully stocked basic first aid kit.

All people who joined in on the contest will also receive a box of microwave popcorn.

As a note, the snow will be around for a few more hours ICly. Have fun with it. However, all the tools, jackets, gloves, etc will vanish when the snow all melts.
