Ariadne • 003 • Skating Party!

[buildingreality]

Who all of Somarium!
Where Lake Meridian!
Style first!
Status open like my arms!

[when Ariadne discovered that the lake was frozen over quite solidly for the winter, she had told herself that she would have to go skating at least once. Of course, she didn't really want to go alone, and as much fun as just going with Arthur and Eames would

ACTION | OTA.

[biggerdreames]

[ Eames moves to lace up his skating shoes, not entirely gracefully going around the frozen lake. He was off the stupid plague and was looking very much forward to Ariadne's little plan; which he may or may not have encourage through a minor form of inception by recreating a mini-snow man, naming it Cobb and using Arthur's things to dress it up and yes: leave it in the fridge. But he's sort of skating by the lake. ]

[ BUMP INTO HIM Y/N ? ]

[ PREPARE TO BE TWIRLED. ]

[brb bumping into him.

[Ariadne lets a little smile curve her mouth when she sees that Eames did, in fact, make it; she imagines Arthur isn't too far behind. So she skates up beside him, falling into a similar pace easily.]

You made it.

[biggerdreames]

[ Grabs her by the hand and proceeds to bring her to a twirl. ]

Of course, darling. Wouldn't miss it for the world. I was getting tired being quarantined.

[buildingreality]

[oh, apparently we're being twirled. She makes a noise of surprise, but turns easily, moving to catch herself with one hand against his arm.]

Good thing Arthur let you out, then. I didn't think he could keep it up forever anyway.

[buildingreality]

[Ariadne had been turning a few laps around the lake, humming happily to herself. For anyone who knows her, it's a bit uncharacteristic for her to look so happy - it's usually better hidden. But she's actually smiling!]

[nolessthanseven]

[it was a party. Therefore, it needed Izzy's attendance. After all, the party didn't start till she walked in. Or skated in.

[So there she is, mingling with everyone and generally having a blast.]

[hacksinundies]

[As soon as Jensen sees Izzy, he skates up to her side.]

Haven't seen you in a while, stranger.

[nolessthanseven]

[and a grin splits her face when she sees him.]

Oh my goodness. Right? It has been way too long. [so excuse her while she skates near enough to be able to throw her arms around his neck in a hug.] How are you?

[hacksinundies]

[The hug takes him by surprise, almost causing him to slip backward on first impact. Jensen wasn't exactly used women throwing themselves at his mercy, both literally and figuratively. And no, his dreams and fantasies didn't count. That would be cheating. However he is able to keep himself upright, holding Izzy steady as he returned the hug.]

Been better honestly. I've been kind of busy with a side project I've been working on for a while.

[mudbloodhater]

[Draco didn't look particularly happy about being out and about, but he really did need to get out of the house periodically. This was clearly that moment. He sits on a bench, staring out at everyone else and making the most of the fact that his vision is, in fact, back.]

[beatskyon]

[somebody looks as sulky as Kyon. somebody looks like fun.

let's tie our ice skate laces while sitting in the snow next to the sulky boy!]

What's the matter? Don't know how to skate?

[mudbloodhater]

[you're so cruel. He glances over to her, raising one brow slowly.]

Of course I do. I'm waiting for my mother.

[beatskyon]

[...she may have just intended to be all enthusiastic about ice skating but THIS IS JUST TOO PRICELESS]

To hold your hand?

Part of this is my half-assed headcanon :p

[justicestriumph]

[When Amelia received the text, she was just leaving the clothes' store in her new winter outfit (which looked the same as her normal outfit, just with longer sleeves and warmer). Skating, huh? She missed skating. She only skated back home the winter before she started to travel with Miss Lina and the others. So, having borroweed a pair of skates from the nice store owner, she skates around the lake. She's really good at it too, even though she nearly falls half of the time.]

[nolessthanseven]

[Isabelle is winding her way around the lake, looking amused; she drifts backwards by the other girl, watching her idly for a moment before making an attempt at conversation:]

Not bad. You do this often?

Re: :Db

[justicestriumph]

[She stops skating when someone addresses her.]

No, this is actually the first time in about two years.

[nolessthanseven]

Must be like riding a bike. [Izzy's not too bad, either. Nothing a couple runes can't help with: she manages to jump up into a quick turn in mid-air before landing effortlessly, and grins at the other girl.] Feels like it, I guess.
