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.))

[this calls for drawing out plans first to get an idea of what fort to build]

[scienceoficecream]

[Yes good.]

[Maaaaaybe will drift over.]

[And offer a few suggestions.]

[She knows how to make good snow forts, okay. >_>]

[impenetrable]

[tilts his head in consideration before taking them into account]

Like this?

[scienceoficecream]

[Nods.] That will help make it more solid, even if ice balls hit it.

[impenetrable]

Ice balls, huh...

What about this bit of the wall? [circles a side wall]

[scienceoficecream]

Snowballs can often add, but ice balls can tear through it. More people there are, the more likely those will come about.

That should be good, but perhaps a bit more packing on the top, to make it more of a rigid. Catches them more instead of letting them bounce and roll in from the top.

[impenetrable]

So a wall topper. Something rounded, or more of a triangle?

[scienceoficecream]

Triangle.

[impenetrable]

[nods, scribbling that in]

Might need some inner support other than just snow. That could be called cheating.

[scienceoficecream]

[Shrugs.] People often use outside items for snow creations. [Gestures to snowmen who have on some spare coats.]

[impenetrable]

[hmmm]

Could make it a trap too.

[scienceoficecream]

[Ooooo.]

It's not like there isn't plenty of resources.

[impenetrable]

It would need to be weighted toward the outside. Or otherwise blocked from the inside.

[scienceoficecream]

Both are possible, though a block would probably be faster.

[impenetrable]

Extra ice padding, then.

[scienceoficecream]

[Nods.] Ice is always better for forts.

[impenetrable]

[let the construction begin!! because this sure is going to be a fortified snow fort, for all that snowball fights are unlikely]

[scienceoficecream]

[I can always ninja some snowballs around. Someone will start firing back.]
