Day 309 [Open]

[dontyoujustwish]

Who: Anya, Ibuki, Patchouli, and anyone else!
Open: Open! Mostly.
When: Day 309
Where: All over the Bastion
What: SNOW!
Format: I'll match
Warnings: It's Anya.

[For Ibuki and Patchouli]
[Sometime after lunch, Anya takes off to look for two of her best lady friends with a spellbook under her arm and some key ingredients in her pockets.

She's quite cheerful about it, a little oblivious to whatever else might have been going on lately. Cheerful, and insistent. She will track you down.]


[Open to All]
[Later in the day, Bastionites may be surprised to look up and notice that... it's snowing. Not only that, but the temperature has dropped.

At least in the more southerly parts of the Bastion. The farmlands might get a few sporadic flurries, but it isn't cold enough there to stick.

So if you've been missing snowmen or snowball fights or any of those activities that require winter to happen, now's your chance. It's probably not going to last very long.]

((OOC: And feel free to just use this post for mingling!]

Of course.

It was your idea, you can't expect me to do all the work.

[scary_music]

... oh...

Oh!

In all the bad feels even Ibuki's memory forgot the thing!

[She finally stands up]

[dontyoujustwish]

[Bad feels?]

What are you talking about?

[scary_music]

Um... Ibuki remembered a whole bunch of bad stuff, which brought on a bunch of bad feels! And nightmares, too! It totally sucks!

... so let's go summon some snow!

[dontyoujustwish]

Are you supposed to talk about it or is this one of those instances where you insist you'd rather do something to take your mind off of it?

[scary_music]

... Um...

[Give her a second to think this over-]

... Ibuki's genre savviness is all messed up right now, she'll get back to you on that later!

[...]

[dontyoujustwish]

I don't understand what that means, but all right.

Let's go find Patchouli, she ought to be a part of this as well.

[scary_music]

Mm, mm...

[She nods. Yeah, not thinking about the bad feels might help right now]

Too bad neither of us are a tracker, but where there's a will... there's a way!

Or we could use the amulet network to ping her. Nobody ever uses that for some reason...

[dontyoujustwish]

Well, many people here aren't accustomed to being able to communicate instantly over long distances, much less to using rocks as miniscule mobile phones.

She likes the library though, doesn't she?

[scary_music]

Ah, that's right! The library!

Ibuki might get kicked out if she follows you in, though! Ibuki's sure you'd understand why!

[dontyoujustwish]

Why would Patchouli kick you out? Aren't you friends?

[scary_music]

Ah, that's right!

The universal law of being quiet in the libraries is trumped by the power of friendship!

[dontyoujustwish]

Also I don't think she's a librarian.

Is she?

[scary_music]

... Ibuki never asked! But it is her library.

Anyway, we have more important things to do than discuss her library! Like dragging her out of it so we can make it snow!

[heptagram]

Oh. Are we doing that today?

[Behind you, ladies.]

Hello. Looks like I ran into you at a good time.

[dontyoujustwish]

Oh, you're already outside. [Aside to Ibuki:] We won't have to drag her.

And yes. I have everything we need.

[scary_music]

[The fact that Ibuki didn't catch Patchouli's approach was odd, considering her sense of hearing. She really was out of it, if the bags under her eyes weren't indicative enough]

Okay! Let's do the snow summons!

[... she's trying to act like she's not sleep deprived, though]

[heptagram]

[Patchouli might not be noticing, or might be assuming her mind is playing tricks on her, since the idea of Ibuki running out of energy just seems ridiculous.]

Alright. Now, I... don't really know how to do this... [Not really that embarrassing, even if it sounds like she's ashamed.] so, Anya, could you please explain, or lead us, or however this is going to go?

[dontyoujustwish]

Well, since we're already here, do you want to do it in the library?

[heptagram]

[The mun kicks the posting order a little bit here. Patchouli nods.]

I think we can do that. There should be space on the top floor.

[scary_music]

Lead the way, Patchy-chan!

[... as if she doesn't know where the library is???]

[dontyoujustwish]

Why do we need her to lead us? It's right there.

[Not only do they all know where it is, but it's literally within easy sight? Anya doesn't understand and so she's just going to.. lead the way herself. To the library!]

[heptagram]

[Patchouli follows Anya.]

Upstairs, everyone. There should be enough space outside my room, I think.

[scary_music]

[Ibuki follows after Anya, oddly quiet for the time being... when suddenly-]

Oh, guess what, Anyan-chan, Patchy-chan?? Ippo-chan proposed to Ibuki last night!

[she holds up her left hand, and that sure is a gold ring with a citrine]

[dontyoujustwish]

[If Anya was supposed to have a positive reaction to that announcement, well, she doesn't.]

Why, did he get you pregnant or does he just want to build up your hopes and then shatter them?
