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!]

[A low rumbling amused sound.]

Such things remind me of Skyrim, I suppose.

[Rob nods slightly and looks slightly less amused, though not by much; he did just see a dragon acting like a puppy after all.]

It is kinda familiar. This kinda weather's what we get a lot in early winter and early spring, though in spring we still have the giant snow mounds left over from winter, so there's more snow than this.

[wayofvoice]

Only so much time has been allowed to pass, and I suspect that this spell shall last only shortly.

Perhaps the next time they wish to do such a thing, I will see what aid I can lend.

[dragonsorcsandwolves]

You know weather-affecting magic?

[He's not really surprised; he kind of assumed that most dragons know some kind of magic, and since it's become clear to him that Paar is from the Skyrim he "knows", even if he's never "met" Paar (he got far too distracted by sidequests and mods to get far enough in the main quest for that), he figures that there's a Shout for everything, not just the limited selection that the game provides.]

[wayofvoice]

Indeed. I have not had cause to use it in many centuries, of course.

[He'd been content to let nature take its course, beyond what he'd called upon to guard his place on the Throat of the World. Besides, mess around with weather too much too blatantly, and people start getting curious. No need to start a panic.]

[dragonsorcsandwolves]

Might be for the best; weather's complicated and fiddling with it could have unexpected side-effects down the road. Though somehow I doubt that anything like that'll happen here, considering how static the weather here's been all this time.

[wayofvoice]

Indeed.

[With a huff, he nudges some snow once more.]

It is difficult to fly in such conditions as well.

[dragonsorcsandwolves]

[A soft amused snort.]

I'd imagine so.

[wayofvoice]

What of you, then?

[dragonsorcsandwolves]

[A bit confused:]

What about me?

[wayofvoice]

Your home. Did it snow often, there?

[dragonsorcsandwolves]

[He nods.]

In the winter it usually does, and oftentimes in the fall and spring too. Of course there's plenty of times it gets too cold for it to snow so sometimes you get winters with hardly any snow. It varies. Of course that doesn't apply to my entire world, but I'm from one of the northern regions. Canada, the country's called, and I'm from Ontario, one of the provinces. I'm actually from one of the southern parts of Ontario; it's even colder farther north.

[wayofvoice]

I see. It seems our held that in common then- the northen part of Skyrim was the same with Windhelm and Winterhold.
