spring is nice and all, but

[iceblue_melody]

[Poor Articuno's kind of dying over here. Spending centuries holed up on Mt. Freeze didn't do much for her climate tolerance.

And she doesn't want to head north to the Seven Lakes because there's nobody up there and that would be lonely and Articuno doesn't like that.

So among all the trees near the CMA, one is...covered in snow?]

Ohhh...I don't

[Snow, yes, Sinnoh residents love the snow, so of course Dawn will come over to have a look.]

[iceblue_melody]

[Articuno gives a half-hearted chirrup when the girl approaches, having trouble mustering up her usual energy.]

Kuu...hi there...

[lunardancing]

Hey, what's wrong?

[iceblue_melody]

Ohhh...

[She hangs her head, entire body sagging a bit on the branch.]

It's so hot....

[cozamalotl]

[Coza isn't terribly bothered by snow. The stuff melts before it even touches him. But he is bothered by your apparent melancholy, so he hops over.]

What's up~?

[iceblue_melody]

[Articuno looks down wearily and lets out a downward-trailing warble, feathers seeming to droop.]

Uncle Coza! I feel like I'm melting!

[cozamalotl]

But it's snowin', Arty!

...Did you do this?

[iceblue_melody]

[She nods emphatically and lets her head drop back onto her chest.]

Because it was so hot!

[silencedtrainer]

[Peering up in curiosity. You okay up there?]

[iceblue_melody]

[The Articuno tries to fluff up her drooping feathers, grumbles, and leans against the trunk of the tree.]

Hmmmfff....why's it so hot....?

[silencedtrainer]

It's not that hot
[Head tilt. Was it?]

[marigold_flame]

[OMG SNOW!]

[Hikaru proceeds to drop on the ground and wave her arms and legs--seems like there's just enough for a snow angel~!]

[Of course, she completely missed the Articuno in the tree.]
