Rating: G - PG
Time: December 28, Midday
Description: Rhode celebrates the post-holiday cheer with some fun and games- Or rather, some ice and snow.
It was a stroke of genius, really.
Rhode was about to get ready to go to work, looking out the window over the beautiful snow that was covering the city, when the massive steps leading up to Shibusen caught her eyes. It was awfully cold out there, wasn't it?
Cold enough for snow to still be on the ground.
About forty-five minutes later, she was taking a cup of hot chocolate and an empty bucket in the general direction of the stairs. It was rough going, but as she managed to fill up the bucket and hike up the stairs, she convinced herself to keep going with the idea of how wonderful the end result of this was going to be. Out of breath, cheeks red from the cold, Rhode mounted the final steps with a groaned "Finally." The water was icing over in the bucket already, but that was fine. She bent down to set her cup of hot chocolate on the ground, turning around and tipping the bucket to pour an even line of water from end to end on the top step. It spread out nicely, dripping and freezing onto the second and even parts of the third step as she watched.
Perfect. Absolutely... perfect.
Now all she had to was pick up her chocolate and find a place to watch the fun. Hopefully enough people would be out and about to make this as wonderful as she was imagining.
