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!]

[Well, Golurk and Sigilyph seem to be avoiding the snow, but a certain giant and the rest of his Pokemon are playing in it. Floette floats above, watching to make sure everyone's okay since she'd get lost in the snow, and Umbreon is leaping and diving into piles of snow.]

[AZ himself seems to be making a snow fort, which he'd be more than glad to help with, and Torkoal is sitting in a somewhat dry patch that he's melted around himself, smoking away and ready to be used as a space heater for anyone who wants it.]

[ourlegends]

[ Hilda's decided she's going to help her dad with building the snow fort. ]

How high is it over on that side? I might be a little too short to keep packing snow here ...

[ She's having to jump up to place snow up there. Emboar is over on another side of the fort, snorting a bit in laughter. Hilda looks over at him with a pout. ]

Emboar, you're going to melt the whole thing if you keep doing that.

[ NOOOO. Emboar realizes this and decides to back away a little. He must not be the cause of destruction for the fort!! ]

[gianthobo]

Torkoal is over there if you want to... play with him.

[Please stop melting the fort, Emboar. He likes you, but now isn't the time.]

And it's not too high... but I can put you on my shoulders if you want to get it really tall.

[He can probably pick her up. She's still pretty skinny.]

[ourlegends]

[ Emboar feels rejected. :< but he understands. He moves over to hang out with his fellow fire type. 'Sup buddy.

Hilda sighs. She'll have to reassure him that he's totally awesome at other things later. ]

Well ... if you're going to be able to fit in here, we'll have to make it pretty tall.

[gianthobo]

[Not much. Being nice and toasty!]

Mhm. We'll fight off all attackers with snowballs. It wouldnt do if I got hit.

[Because why else would you build a snow fort?]

[ourlegends]

Exactly. We have to make it big enough that our opposing forces wouldn't think to even try!

... though they'll try anyway.

[gianthobo]

Probably, but that's all part of the fun.

[ourlegends]

I'm excited for a snowball fight. I haven't had one of those in a long time!

[ It's so nice to just be a kid again for a short while. ]

[gianthobo]

[Did someone say snowballs? Because Golurk is just going to... wander over gently drop one on Hilda's head. Not a big one, but Golurk doesn't want to throw it because Golurk is big and powerful and Hilda is small. Seems Golurk is trying to not be uncomfortable around the ice type stuff.]

[ourlegends]

[ Heeeeeeeyyyyy!! Hilda shakes her head, which only makes the snow fall down the back of her shirt. ]

Eeee, cold!! Cold, cold ...

[gianthobo]

[AZ just starts laughing, hard enough that he's starting to wheeze a little bit. Golurk looks rather pleased.]

[ourlegends]

[ She finds herself laughing, too, once the coldness wears off. She quickly builds a snowball and tosses it at Golurk in revenge for the sudden ice down her shirt. ]

[gianthobo]

[Golurk didn't expect that! There's a clunking noise as the golem-like Pokemon suddenly sits down. Oh no, Golurk has been hit! Pokemon down, Pokemon down!]
