ϡ - Chapter Thirty; Winter Wonderland antics [Voice|Action]

[folkloristic]

[ Good morning Luceti if you’re in town today, and probably in the surrounding areas as well, you’ll notice some large lumbering pure white figures walking about some might even be flying. No, no, they aren’t harmful in the least, although the creatures they take after might argue otherwise, and they are not yetis or other such things that come out

[While on her way to check on things at the Welcome Center, movement at the edge of her vision catches Rydia's notice. She turns...and stares, abruptly coming to a halt as she spots Helios and his animate snow dragon. For a moment, she's struck speechless.]

[folkloristic]

[ Helios is packing more snow on to his draconian companion, because it'd be a shame if he melted, he'll blink mid-packing technique and follow the dragon's gaze as it is the first to spot Rydia. A smile from Helios. ] Ah! Rydia hello! Wonderful day isn't it?

[ Yeah don't mind the dragon it's all cool. ]

[mistlegacy]

[She nods, her eyes still wide.]

Hello, Helios. That's...quite a companion. How...?

[folkloristic]

[ Helios is still smiling as he gives the snow dragon and affectionate pat. ]

He is, isn't he? Oh! I, uh, just used a little but of magic really. An enchantment spell and some snow can go a long way.

[Hi, Helios. Yeah, Giles can see you've been busy. He can see as much very closely, chiefly because he's been backed against a wall by a snow minotaur. Oh, not for any malicious reasons - it clearly doesn't mean him any harm and probably hasn't noticed he's there. But Giles is reluctant to put himself any nearer to it, just in case this is all a ruse.

...help?]

[folkloristic]

[ Internal keysmash! Helios will see you there Giles and he's in the middle of making a tiny, more miniature snow creations and will stop dead. He'll rush over, although it's more of a slow gait because he knows his creations won't harm anyone, and the Minotaur will nod its head lightly stepping away and walking off. ]

Giles! Nothing to worry about! They're perfectly harmless!

[consultmybooks]

[Giles watches the minotaur shamble peacefully off with the expression of one who is not quite ready to believe that.

Eventually, however, he seems to settle down, enough to look over at Helios' latest creation, which...looks back with remarkably bright eyes for a snow thing.]

...yes, I should have known these were your idea, Helios.

[folkloristic]

I simply couldn't help myself Giles. [ Helios laughs. ]

I don't know why I never thought to do this before! [ He honestly doesn't. It should have been done aaaages ago like, like last Christmas! ] Perhaps I made them a bit too life like though...

[ Just watching that Minotaur recede back towards the town. ]

[The things you see when you go out to do routine chores.

Because it's now too cold for the TMNT to be going outside to do much of... anything, really, Robert has taken it upon himself to do all the mundane outdoors-requiring-tasks of the household. After all, no sense in them going outside if they can avoid it.

But he certainly doesn't expect to run into the hindquarters of a snowy unicorn. And for once, thanks to Twilight, he can actually identify a mythological creature! ... Albeit he still doesn't know they're mythical, but give him some credit anyway.]

...A ... a unicorn...?

[It only takes a few moments more to realize it's made of snow. Or at least very thoroughly covered in it.]

... What on Terra...?

[Action]

[folkloristic]

[ Sup Robert! Helios is totally invested in making a snow Kappa right now but a brief glance up gives him insight as to where you almost ran into a snow unicorn he cooked up a few hours ago. ]

Robert! [ He'll wave and then come over smiling as he makes note of the scientist's expression. ]

[Action]

[semper_cogitans]

[... He shouldn't be surprised. He really shouldn't be surprised.

Also, that kappa? That makes him even more curious.]

Helios...? Are you... responsible for these?

...

Are they organic...?

[Action]

[folkloristic]

[ Helios nods walking over to the unicorn and giving it a gentle pat on the snout. It'll shake it's mane sending off a dusty airy cloud of snow. ]

Oh heavens no! Not at all. Unless you count snow as such. [ Just a smirk. ] Just your average run of the mill snow mythica!

[Ginia is outside their new house, throwing a tennis ball around for Odin. She's completely unaware of the snowy mythical creatures about, but Odin certainly notices. When a snowy kitsune comes in the area, Odin drops the ball and growls quietly, putting himself between Ginia and the living snow sculpture.]

Odin? What's wrong? I-is someone there?

[Action]

[folkloristic]

[ These snow creatures! Helios will be in the area just in time to catch it the happenings. He'll be over there in a second, don't worry. ] Ah! It's n-nothing! Just, just a kitsune. Well! Not, not a real one you know. I just made one out of snow and-and I suppose Odin didn't take very well to it.

[ The kitsune however will dart back towards Helios running in circles around his legs. Odin had protected you well Ginia from the fearsome snow!kitsune! ] Odin is quite the good protector though.

[Action]

[shadedsunlight]

[She turns when she hears Helios' voice, letting everything process in her mind.]

...Please tell me you can make more once my vision is back.

[Action]

[folkloristic]

[ Kitsune successfully retreating Helios will give Odin a pat on the head and some behind the ear scratches. Good dog so very brave standing up to the kitsune like that. ] Of course! They're easy to make...if-if you know what I mean.

[ Probably not to everyone. ] The weather has been quite generous in terms of snow. I doubt we'll be running out any time soon.

[talontrot]

[So Luceti is looking a lot like Freezeezy Peak now. Huh.

Not that this is a bad thing. Kazooie liked Freezeezy Peak! But at the same time, it is very weird to see it like this.

The breegull in question is just minding her own business flitting about the rooftops - and trying to get a proper foothold on the edges, what with all those lights - when suddenly a giant snowy phoenix swoops right over her head.]

Hey! What gives?!

[That's clearly not anybody with wings that she knows. And that jerk nearly hit her!]

Try that again, buster, and you're getting an Egg in the face!

[Yes, Helios, there is a giant red bird threatening your snow-phoenix. Wat do?]

[Action]

[folkloristic]

[ Helios will be...rather alarmed right now! Please to not be destroying his lovely snow phoenix Kazooie. Helios will run over looking back up at the brightly colored citizen. ]

Ah! I-I'm terribly sorry. They're not v-very graceful I'm afraid. I suppose it's one of the drawbacks to them being made of snow. Are you alright?

[Action]

[talontrot]

This is your fault, huh? [Kazooie just... turns her big glassy green eyes on Helios with a vaguely-accusatory look.] That birdbrain just about knocked me off the roof!

You're lucky I don't Egg you in the head for being so scatterbrained, but I don't think it'd make much difference!

[... She's not very nice when she's been startled, Helios. Sorry.]

[Action]

[folkloristic]

It...it was meant to be fun. I-I didn't think people would get so, ah, startled by them. I-I apologize.

[ Helios flinches slightly at the threat. His gaze goes down towards the snow covered ground. Well, he's heard himself be called worse. and it was a bit absentminded of him not to make an announcement over the journals. ]
