A child, a child, shivers in the cold. chiisaichou December 16 2011, 17:18:32 UTC
[Now, Miyabi's been accustom to harsh, icy conditions for all of her life, and blizzards are nothing abnormal to her at all. She came to Luceti nearly two years ago from the worst one her country has ever seen. Plus, this actually happened to her once before. So, when Miyabi awakes to a pitch black house and a wall of white outside her window she just sighs, gets dressed in her warmest clothes, and...goes to try and dig her tiny house out of the snow.

It's an endeavor, really. Even with her Powerslash, Cherry Bomb, and fire brush skills (as well as Eferin's filial magic), the snow just keeps coming. And with every break she has to take, her efforts get buried once again. It's a valiant effort she pulls, but it goes to waste. She snow is just too dense, too thick, and coming down too fast for her to dig her little house by the cherry tree out. So, breathlessly, she goes back inside, changes her wet clothes, and curls up with blankets and steaming mug of tea. And, finally, a request for help.]Eh...the snow's coming down really hard, ( ... )

[It had been a while since he's spoken to Miyabi, but it's not easy to forget someone who was nice enough to give him a gift this time last year. As much as he does not want to go outside, he can't leave the poor girl to freeze to death. She'll probably run out of air.]

Do ya wanna come join us in house twelve? We got plenty of supplies, and it's kinda quiet here.

[Oh! Well, that's definitely a voice Miyabi didn't expect to hear, but its all the more welcome because. She perks right up and her spirits swell right along with her.]

Mister Raven! Ah, I'd be honored to stay with you until this goes away, but... [She knows how much he hates the cold. Yet, still, he's willing to help.] Please, be careful. I'll work a little harder to dig it out myself, too.

Alright, you keep tryin' ta dig out. I'll be there in a bit! Gotta work my way through all this snow... geez... why couldn't it be a heatwave instead.

[He'll bring his journal with him as he wraps the scarf she gave him round his neck. He knows he'll regret dealing with the cold, but he can't leave the poor girl there to freeze to death. He's on his way Miyabi!]

[Gods, a heatwave would be the thing to really kill her. Miyabi's used to the freezing cold and blizzards of this degree, possibly even worse, but still...being snowed in is never good. And she won't last long if she remains buried.]

Thank you, Raven. Look for me, okay?

[Or at least try to. She is a tiny thing, after all, but the shifting snow and muffled sounds once she's out and about again should at least give her away. Plus, with the "map" she made...that should help. Hopefully.]

Hello <3 ALL THE SNOW ICONS crisis_rain December 19 2011, 00:39:50 UTC
[He's not about to waste any time in the snow, and besides, he knows where her little abode is anyway. Despite the difficulties with being able to see, and the harsh blizzard pelting against him, he's making a surprisingly quick pace.

Give him about ten minutes at most before he's outside where her home should be. The thick snow blankets the entire place, so he flips open his journal.]

Guess I gotta start diggin', huh? Whereabouts? Shout or somethin'.

Ahhh, they're so pretty chiisaichou December 20 2011, 02:36:20 UTC
[Miyabi had been making a little headway in digging out her house, but it wasn't exactly visible from Raven's point of view. She has her journal at her side, so she reaches for it with one hand. Something to catch his attention, hm? Okay, this...might work.]

Look closely! Don't take your eyes off the snow!

[And like that, Miyabi creates a Cherry Bomb with the brush of her sword and rushes back into the house. When the explosive detonates, it makes the snow up above "jump",from the force, at least an inch or two.]

[The moment he sees the snow start to fly into the air, he quickly starts digging. He's got to reach her somehow, especially now that he knows where she is.]

Do ya see a clear openin' yet?

All my tears... chiisaichou December 24 2011, 21:55:29 UTC
No yet, but I can hear you.

[Indeed she can, the sound of snow shifting and lifting from all around her is easy enough to hear, and she slugs through the snow herself to reach its source. She's wet, exhausted, and cold, but even with her vision being skewed the way it is, she can tell the difference when the gray around her becomes lighter and lighter, and heads towards it.]

I-I think I can see...a-a light up ahead. It's getting lighter a little bit.

OH you're so gonna get hero'd elixirsoup December 18 2011, 04:37:46 UTC
[Uh-oh, a little kid's in trouble! ...This naturally calls for a hero to come by and help, right?

So he uses the portrait as a guide and sets out in a huge hooded coat and his sword on his back. He wasn't about to wade around trying to find a shovel, so the Blade of Evil's Bane would have to do.

As for the snow coming down, well... Little Link's been through worse. He can handle it if it means helping somebody, right? Maybe.

When he gets to the tree, he looks around. He looks back in his journal at the picture, gazing at the spot where it should be, then speaks into the journal.]

H-Hello? I'm here to get you out!

SHE CAN BE YOUR NEW FAIRY, LUKE. chiisaichou December 19 2011, 04:17:40 UTC
[Miyabi was staying in her house, gathering anything she could to use for a fire. ...Anything but all her paper, scrolls, and art supplies, of course. There are just some things one cannot sacrifice. She hears a voice first in her journal then, somewhat muffled, above her.Dropping what she was doing, Miyabi races to her journal first, picking up her sword along the way.]

Here! I'm here! Look for the shifting snow!

[And with that she races to her front door, slides it open with force, and immediately paints a Cherry Bomb, running away as the fuse fizzles and...BLAM! That snow up above might have "jumped" slightly from the explosion, then sunk in somewhat. That should help him find her, right? She'll keep trying, too!]

Wah!

[He was slightly surprised by that! But he takes his hands and prods around the spot, carefully brushing the snow away. He had no idea the house would be this tiny! But a person in need is a person in need, no matter how small they were, right?]

I'm clearing it off... is this better?

...wow derp. That's what I get for tagging at 7am. chiisaichou December 21 2011, 03:10:01 UTC
[Her house certainly is small, perhaps the size of a cinder block - with working kitchen and two guest rooms. It was custom made some time ago, by a friend...now gone. Miyabi can only faintly hear the snow being moved away, but she keeps doing her best as well, using Powerslash to slice away larger chunks of it.

Ugh...she's going to need a long rest after she's done all this.]

I-I can hear it! I can hear you just a little bit, keep going! I'll keep doing my best, too!

It's okay <3 elixirsoup December 21 2011, 05:59:03 UTC
Okay!

[Brushing off snow, scooping up snow... he kind of misses the tropical climate of the Great Sea right about now. But that's not the point! Once he gets to the house proper he starts being a little more gentle so as not to damage it. When he gets it mostly uncovered, he cranes his head to look through one of the windows.]

There... um, are you okay in there?

[Miyabi can still hear the snow being shifted above her, and continues her own endeavor, but once the sky seems to open up above her she stops and looks up, a relieved and happy smile on her face.

Hi, Link, you're looking at something that may look very similar to a fairy, sans wings. It's a glowing ball of golden light, and she leaps right out of the little pit that was dug and onto Link's knee. If he looks very, very hard, he may see that the light is, in fact, a very tiny person.]

I'm free! Thank you very much! [She bows politely, but then goes into big sister mode.] But you shouldn't be outside! We have to get somewhere warm right now! You'll freeze in a storm like this in no time.

[He's just a kid.]

[His eyes widen at the sight of her... she really does look like a fairy!]

...Are you a fairy? [Will you heal me when I'm about to die?]
