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

[Pilouette is walking about, trying her best to enjoy the weather. While it certainly snowed back home, it was almost always cleared away before it could be enjoyed. Before long she comes upon...

A unicorn.

What.

It's like all her shiny LisaFrank folder dreams from second grade are happening. Well, with significantly less sparkles and rainbow puppies (i.e. none) but she's totally okay with that. She's still a little bewildered by it, so for now she's just staring at it, occasionally taking a cautious step or two towards it.]

[ Yes it is a unicorn and Helios will peek out from behind it and give a wave. ] Don't worry! It won't hurt you, they're perfectly docile.

[ And as if to exemplify this Helios will give the snowy beast a light pat on the side as he packs more snow on to it. Can't have them melting after all. ]

[action]

[wantsaprince]

[She jumps, just a little startled. She didn't see Helios there! Since he says it's not dangerous, she approaches, albeit still a tentative. She's a bit surprised when she sees him packing that snow on to it.]

Wh-

Huh?! W-Wait, it's...it's made of snow?! But it's like, moving and stuff! Like, no way!

[Excuse her while she wigs out for a second.]

[action]

[folkloristic]

[ Helios smiles and nods, dusting his hands free of snow. ]

Yes! Pure, freshly fallen snow mythica. One hundred percent snow, and a little bit magic. [ Helios walks around to the other side where Pilouette is. The unicorn will shake its mane digging a snowy hoof into the ground as it turns to regard its creator and the new person he's talking to. ]

[action]

[wantsaprince]

Magic...

[She can't seem to tear her eyes away from the creature, still completely amazed by the whole thing. She instinctively takes a half step backward when it turns toward them.]

I'd heard there was magic here, but I've like, never actually seen any magic stuff. Wow...!

[action]

[folkloristic]

[ Helios smiles nodding at the amazement being demostrated by the young girl. ]

You'll find all types here, actually. Different worlds have differing versions and the like. Of course...you can also learn a form of it as well...

[ The unicorn nods in agreement shaking its head and nudging Helios a little. ] I believe he's taken a liking towards you. [ He nods again at Pilouette. ]

[action]

[wantsaprince]

I've heard about being able to learn magic here, but...Um...I haven't like, looked too much into it, I guess.

[She reaches a hand towards the unicorn, but pulls it back before looking up at Helios.]

Uh, i-is it okay if I...?

[action]

[folkloristic]

Ah that's understandable. It must be very strange for people whose worlds don't have such things. Which is, of course, a factor when learning something new.

[ Still he smiles and nods. ]

Yes of course! Feel free! I think she rather likes you, actually.

[action]

[wantsaprince]

[A grin appears across her face, but she catches herself. Oh geez, gotta act grown up here. She stands up straight, her expression a little more calm now, but it's probably not hard to see that she's just about bursting with excitement. She reaches out and gingerly rests her hand on its muzzle, barely suppressing a gleeful little giggle.]

Wow...!

[action]

[folkloristic]

[ The unicorn shakes its mane and nudges Pilouette's hand gently. Helios smiles and pats the unicorn affectionately. ] I haven't seen you around before. Are you new here?

[action]

[wantsaprince]

Um, I guess I am. I've only been here for...a month, maybe?

[action]

[folkloristic]

Ah. It's a bit strange at first. But we all take care of one another. [ He looks at Pilouette and gives her a comforting smile. ]

You seem to be doing alright for yourself.

[action]

[wantsaprince]

[She gives a litte smile, nodding.]

Most people I've met have been pretty nice.

Yeah! I can take of like, every day stuff pretty well. I did it a lot back home, so it's not too hard. And money kind of...well, not being a thing here helps.

[action]

[folkloristic]

Yes! We're a sympathetic bunch, we've all been in one another's shoes at some point when first arriving here.

[ Just smiling. ] The lack of, um, currency does make things easier. If not a big strange, hm? Ah! I'm Helios Sprensonne by the way it's a pleasure.

[action]

[wantsaprince]

My name's Pilouette Bonheur. It's like, nice to meet you!

And, yeah, the money thing is weird, but it's not like I can really complain about it...

[action]

[folkloristic]

That's a lovely name...it sounds French, is it? [ He could be wrong he's not that well versed in French. ]

Yes it was...odd upon hearing it. [ Helios shrugs. ] But then again a self restocking grocery store and waking up with wings are far weirder.
