Day 309 [Open]

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.]

[Anya will find Ibuki frolicking in the fields of-]

[Okay no that's a lie, Anya will find her taking a restless nap ... in front of the doors of her music venue???]

[It's like she just randomly fell over there and decided to take a nap on the spot or something]

Zulf - OTA

[personal profile] fuckthemancers 2015-05-12 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[For the first time in a while, Zulf actually looks.... sort of happy?]

[Holy crap.]

[The rattletails have been let loose and are frolicking about happily in the snow, and Zulf is humming a low tune under his breath as he works on building a little snow fort for the Cubone hopping about at his feet.]

[Help him out? Or throw a snowball at his head, you can do that too.]

Helmsman - OTA

[personal profile] polariity 2015-05-12 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[How long has the Helmsman been laying facedown in the snow?]

[A worrying amount of time, probably.]

[Still, he sometimes randomly starts rolling, gives a flail, and then flops to lay still again.]

[He's... happy?? Maybe??]

[Someone should probably do something before he gets sick.]

Paarthurnax - OTA

[personal profile] wayofvoice 2015-05-12 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's with an absurdly pleased chuff that Paarthurnax lands heavily in the snow. It's the most playful any of the Bastionites will have seen him as he starts to act almost like a dog experiencing its first snow fall as he buries his face against it all, rolls about, and stretches his wings out through the snow.]

[It's so nice to feel the cold again.]

[It feels a little bit like home.]

Georges - OTA

A

Whoo! [Georges is bundled up as best he can be with what they have, and grinning wide from beneath his bandana.] Who do I need to thank for the change in weather?

[But he's got a little table set up, a set of bottles and some glasses. For those who are perhaps... rightfully dubious about Caelondian liquor, the smell that's wafting out from the steaming bottles is absolutely heavenly. No Cham-Pain today. This is just some Hearty Punch. Warm, zesty, and absolutely the sort of thing one needs on a cold day like this. Georges will wave you over, if you've been in the snow for a while.]

[Or, hell, even if you haven't.]


B

[Alternatively! He seems to be doing his best to make a snowsquirt by his little table, tongue sticking out of the corner of his mouth. Help your local friendly bartender out?]

[Snow. It had been some time since she'd seen--well--weather. Longer still since she had actually been cold. It was refreshing. As long as it eventually stopped. She didn't really want to deal with the snow forever.]

Hmn...

[There was one thing she knew how to do with snow at least. She scooped up a handful, patted it down and looked carefully at the others nearby. Which would be least likely to be offended by the sudden throwing of a snowball. Too many decisions. She just lets it fly]

[There's someone here who doesn't look happy. Ryu's lingering at the edge of the snow, poking it with his foot. He's definitely not dressed for the weather, and he's definitely upset with it.]

[Life is hard when you're weak to ice and water attacks.]

[Clearly, this means someone should drag him into the snow anyway.]

[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.]

All of the OTA, all the time. :|b - Totally open.

[personal profile] darkshooter 2015-05-13 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Staring up at the snowfall, Shooter is...well, perhaps "bewildered" is a good word for it. It's not so much that the sight of snow or the feeling of cold is strange...although they are, kind of...but more that she's searching her memory, trying to determine when or if she's ever known these things.]

[In its own way, it is beautiful. In another, it is sad. And in one more still, it is peaceful.]

[...]

[ DID YOU JUST GET HIT WITH A SNOWBALL?

If you did, it probably came from Kohaku. She's giggling happily, bunching up bits of snow and throwing them at anyone who passes her by.

It's a challenge, you see. She wants to start something. She wants to declare war of the cold and frozen kind.

It's time for a Snowball fight. ]

[personal profile] scary_music 2015-05-14 12:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[well, she had a short nap, so Ibuki's feeling a bit better now]

[She'll either be making minIbuki's, flopping around randomly in the snow, or chucking snowballs at people. Take your pick!]

[After just kind of isolating herself from the Bastion's populace for awhile, totally not sulking about losing everything that defined her purpose in life no- okay maybe...-, Mitellux emerges out of hiding and...]

[... it's snow.]

[The dragon just kind of stares. No, she didn't particularly like this. She'd probably love this if she was a white dragons. Shame. She didn't have any reason to hate it, at least]

[Colin doesn't mind snow, but he's not especially fond of it. Elerians, with a few distinct exceptions, cannot tolerate temperatures cold enough to make snow possible. Given that he lives on a ship that's primarily populated by Elerians, this means he's a lot more used to warmer temperatures.]

[He ALSO knows that humans are especially fond of snowball fights. As such, he's expanded the range of his proximity sensors to warn him of incoming snowballs.]

[All that said, he knows that colder temperatures do not mean good things for plant life, so he's just going to be tending to the farm while this is going on. If worse comes to worse, he's got a dance that can dissipate the snow. Anyone else feel like tending to some plants?]
bulletofhope: (What kind of plot twist is that?!)

[personal profile] bulletofhope 2015-05-14 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well, it looks like Naegi and Komaru are having fun with the snow, at least? The Furfrou in Naegi's care isn't above diving into and popping out of the various snow drifts around the Bastion, yipping and barking loudly while shaking off any snow upon anyone who happens to be close to it.

Meanwhile, Naegi himself seems to be in the middle of building some snowmen himself... and he's even completed a few! Bother him? ]

[Whatever one might expect of Ghaleon's reaction to snow, it is probably rather different than what he actually does.

Depending on when one catches him, they're either going to get assaulted with a snowball and gleeful cackling, or perhaps creating snow sculptures that are... Well, one might be reminded of Calvin and Hobbes when looking at them. None of the monsters look anything like what anyone would have seen on the Skyway though.]
dracoleoresin: (like an inverse pieta)

[personal profile] dracoleoresin 2015-05-15 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Curiosity eventually trumps chilliness—and Myrrh is quite chilly; she's only been here a few days and the idea of taking resources here for herself hasn't occurred to her; she hates to ask anything of anyone, so she's still in the short dress and sandals she arrived in. Twelve hundred years of life in a mountainous near-north means that this is far from her first snowfall, of course, but in Darkling Woods, snow is never this fluffy, and it isn't played in.

She spends quite a while observing everyone else's winter activities, flying hardly a foot off the ground to keep the snow off her bare feet. When she lands just nearby enough to watch, she keeps still for the same reason, and presses her wings against her body for warmth.

...Until she tries to alight on the snow-dusted ice the river has become by mistake and comes dangerously close to toppling over.

Flaring out her wings helps her catch her balance. Still, she's...not entirely sure how to proceed? She shuffles forward a few uncertain steps and nope, her footing here isn't nearly stable enough for her to get the start she needs to fly again.

Feel free to catch a certain tiny dragon child snooping on your winter activities or trying desperately to keep herself balanced on the ice.

Ah!

[Snow!

Rose was no stranger to snow, but it had been some years since she had ventured willingly to one of the colder regions of the planet. The beach-side cave that had been her home for the past several millennium was hardly in a climate for it, and as the light flakes settled on her nose and tickled her cheeks she couldn't help but smile brightly.

Oh how she wished her Gems were here to see this... but it would be a crime to not enjoy it herself.

If one were to come near the housing area of the Bastion they might just find an interesting sight - a very large pink haired woman spinning about in the falling snow, or (as the snow piles up more) even making some impressively big snow angels. Care to join her?]

[Nanaki was actually outside the Bastion when the snow started falling, so imagine her surprise when she comes back and sees all of the snow on the southern side of the Bastion!

She is tired from her time out on the Skyway, but she will still take at least a little time to play in the snow, because it's been months since she has actually seen snow at all.

So.

Whoever is nearby, watch out. Nanaki is throwing snowballs, and she has a good arm.

Bon | OTA

[personal profile] kyotoprincess 2015-05-17 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Unlike most people, Bon isn't out playing in the snow.

No, he is out by the lake, testing the ice to see if it is firm enough to hld weight. Once he is satisfied that yes, this is safe and he won't go through, Bon will work on clearing some of the snow off of the ice. And once that is done, he's going to go sliding across the ice, because even without ice skates he can keep his balance pretty well on the slippery surface.

Oh look Bon is having fun this is a rare sight. Come ice skating with him.

[Red-tailed hawks from his area do not really like the snow. Tobias doesn't like the snow very much either, because the area he lived in when he was in California didn't get much snow and he preferred the West Coast over the East Coast.]

[And the mission they had up in the Arctic was not exactly a fun time full of rainbows and happiness.]

[So a different morph is needed. That's why people will see a polar bear flopping around in the snow. Are you distracted, or building something? You may get a surprise when you see some big eyes and a snout peering up at you.]

[Or you might just hear Tobias' thought speech as he rolls around and around and around.]


<Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!>

[No one ever said he had to be mature about this, okay.]

[fun fact: snow is really gross if you're a firebender. not that azula has problems bending in the snow (although, if being here in bastion had made her powers dampened in that respect too, it's just another reason to hate it. not that she needs more reason.)

some poor soul had left a snowman behind which she takes this opportunity to punch through his stupid snow face, sending the whole thing crashing to the ground.

at least that was somewhat...comforting?]
