WINTER WONDERLAND

[scienceoficecream]

Who: A whole bunch of snow and YOU
When: Day 104, late afternoon and probably until Day 105 at some point.
Where: 3rd Floor, Common Area
What: Because Albi wanted to be Jack Frost BECAUSE CHRISTMAS

[There will be a bit of a drop in the temperature of the third floor today. Nothing too bad until you enter the Common Area, where you will find a good percentage of it is, in fact, covered in snow. There's mounds of it all over and more than enough to play and frolic in. There's even one mound big enough to sled down. And there's an area over that that's just pure ice and there some ice skates along the edge.]

[Around the edge of of the mini winter wonderland are tables with coats and other such winter wear.]

((OOC: BTW, winter clothes will vanish when the snow does.))

[It is probably the size of a small child by now as it spins a little faster. It's obvious when he notices someone nearby because he sure does look a little fidgety all of a sudden. Oh no a girl.]

[anklets]

[Oh no and she sure is staring right at you. Not for any desire to be impolite, but rather because she's never seen something like this before, and it's kind of amazing. Is he doing that?...]

[imanapexpredator]

[He is indeed doing that, which is made a little more obvious when he finally looks up and his hands stop moving, the whirlwind of snow collapses into a small pile on the floor.

Awkwaaaaard, he should probably...say something?]

...Hey.

[Yeah, that works.]

[anklets]

[--Oh. Pinks (and not just from the cold).]

Hi.

Um. That was-- you did that?

[imanapexpredator]

[Well he'll just, look back down at the small pile of snow, idly drawing little patterns in it. But like the whirlwind, he doesn't use his hands. Using hands is totally overrated.]

Uh, yeah...yeah, it was.

[Master wordsmith right here.]

[anklets]

[Watches that.]

But how?

[imanapexpredator]

[He can't figure out how this is interesting in a place with gods and people who're thousands of years old and have far crazier powers.]

With my mind. [Laughing at himself lightly because that sounds dumb.] I don't really know...how, exactly.

[anklets]

[BUT YOU LOOK SO NORMAL]

...R-Really?

[anklets]

I've never really seen anything quite like that before, is all.

[imanapexpredator]

[Andrew is the perfect example of "looks can be deceiving".]

Oh, well...It's not that common -- where I'm from, I guess. Or here, from the way everyone reacts to it.

[anklets]

Is it a superpower?

[That is her new favourite concept and thing to talk about.]

[imanapexpredator]

[It is a pretty badass thing, superpowers that is.]

Uhh...yeah. Yeah, I guess it kinda is. I mean, I never used it to like, fight evil or anything.

[But he did use it to cause evil. Oh, awkward laugh because he realizes that before he can stop himself from speaking. Stupid, stupid!]

[anklets]

[F-Falters.]

Oh...

[imanapexpredator]

[See he said something dumb again this is why he doesn't talk to people.]

We flew. Uh, my friends and I, I mean. We flew a lot.

[A-awkward attempt at saving the conversation.]

[anklets]

[Feels her heart practically skip a beat.]

--You flew?

[imanapexpredator]

Yeah. Really, really high up in the sky. With the clouds.

[Man he misses that a lot. Smiling a bit at that memory!]

I can't really...do that here, though. I mean I almost can. I've been practicing a lot. It's just, you know...weakened powers and all.

[anklets]

...

[calm your heart, Lenalee Lee]

I used to, too. Fly like that...

But I can't anymore, either. Heh.

[imanapexpredator]

[Oh my god, you flew. Andrew leans forward a little in surprise.]

You did too? How'd you do it?

[anklets]

Oh, I.

[Shifts on the spot.]

I had boots that let me walk in the air.

[imanapexpredator]

[Oh, well there is a smaaaall moment where he calms down a bit. No flying by super powers, but the idea of boots that let you walk in the air is still cool enough that he still looks interested. Besides, someone else who flew! Doesn't matter how!]

Really? How'd you get something like that?

[anklets]

They were given to me.

[imanapexpredator]

Oh.

[What a badass gift. Though he may be a wee bit grateful now that his flying ability wasn't completely taken away.]

Sorry you...don't have it. Here, I mean.

[anklets]

[Despite herself, her lips twitch upwards into a slightly self-deprecating smile.]

Oh, don't be sorry. I'm not.

[imanapexpredator]

But going from being able to fly anywhere to...not, kind of sucks.

[anklets]

Maybe.

[Her voice cracks a bit.]

Sometimes I miss it. [ Sometimes she feels useless without them. ] It's all right, though. Not having it anymore.

[If she says it enough, it shall be true. It shall be true. It shall be...]
