[For once the temperature was actually blow freezing even during the day.  With it that miserable, who in their right mind would go outside?  Nobody.  At least nobody without a good reason.  Unfortunately for Frau he did have a good reason.  He had to get to work.  That wasn't all that easy with freezing temperatures and no body temperature though

[That is absolutely bizarre.]

Are you-- okay..?

[Nothing moves in the image besides the snow being blow around by the wind. Frau's still form remains exactly how it was, completely ice coated and unmoving. There's no indication whatsoever that he even heard the question.]

[Hattie doesn't walk out in the cold if she can help it; she gets driven around, and she just finished shopping so it was time to head home. She just so happened to catch Frau on her NV, and what she sees is just so -unusual- she doesn't know what to make of it.]

[She doesn't know first aid or anything like that.]

Driver, change directions..

[There's only one person she knows that knows anything about ice.. So she sends a text.]

Obviously not here

[icy_heavens]

[Oh, this ought to be a fun evening for him.]

OOC

[blondandperfect]

[That was disturbingly well-timed. :O Hattie'll be contacting you through a third party. Because that's how making emergency calls work!]

[Reaction] 2/2

[With the texts sent, Hattie rides back toward Frau's apartment.]

[ Caster found the situation distinctly humorous, but at the same time, she had to admit it was a tad worrisome. He was literally frozen stiff, and she couldn't even tell whether he was still alive. In a few moments, she was out the door, outfitted in a heavy, white dress coat. It took her a few moments to figure out his location, but after an examination of the background in the video feed, her search met with success. ]

[ At the sight of him, surprise briefly widened her eyes as a hand flew to her chest. ]

Oh, my... [ She gasped, instinctively, but fortunately, it didn't take her long to recover from her astonishment. The heels of her stiletto boots crunched against snow as she swiftly drew closer. With another once-over, concern faintly knitted her eyebrows

[Beneath all of the ice and the dead body, Frau is actually still alive. He knows what's going on around him thanks to a little help from Zehel. Nobody knew about Zehel though. Frau had been considering revealing it if needed for a long time, but he hadn't really come up with an answer. Now he's pretty sure he has one. He can trust Caster.

While there is no change to his body and no outward indication that anything happened, there is suddenly a skeletal hand resting on Caster's shoulder. The hand belongs to the black cloaked figure that's hovering behind her.]

What are you doing?

[Action] 10 or so feet Away

[A taxi cab pulls to a stop, and from inside Hattie can see.. She didn't recognize Caster right away, and she especially didn't recognize the cloaked figure that was suddenly behind her.

Hattie's face went pale. Yeah, she's just going to stay in the car now.]

Where -is- he?

[Action]

[ The feel of a hand on her shoulder completely riveted Caster's attention, keeping her unaware of the taxi that pulled up. She blinked once with surprise, as a hand briefly pressed against her chest. ]

Oh, my... [ She let out a soft breath. Whether it was from relief or exasperation wasn't clear. ] What does it look like? I'm trying to thaw him out.

[ Her casual response may have seemed odd, but she wasn't one easily unnerved. After all, it wasn't an attack, and she prided herself on her magic. Nonetheless, she tried to read the figure that appeared behind her, trying to perceive its nature and level of power, magical or otherwise. ]

[ Then, carefully, she added: ] Who are you?

[Ayanami finds this quite amusing but does not find himself moved to help Frau nor impede the do-gooders who undoubtedly would go to to his aid.]
