ORIGIN

Carja running towards her was not a fun experience. Instinctively her hair raised and bristled. She knew Carja, though; knew that she was a friend of Sunny's, and everyone who was a friend of Sunny's was.. uh, deserved a chance at being tolerated. Madhukar winced at the mention of her own self being known from the Olympics. Apparently, this snow was 'really small frozen water'. That made as much sense as just about anything else in these caves. Madhukar would roll with it.

When Carja became distracted by the concept of turning some snow into projectiles (not gonna lie, Madhukar was interested too), the kitten focused her attention on Tahi. She was just gonna... tune the strangers out. Being around them all for too long, having to focus on them, sounded like actual hell so she was going to keep to the familiar faces. Tahi said it was like the 'ice' in 'Tunnel M'. How did they all know stuff about tiny white rock-things?? Where did they learn?! Actually, no, Madhukar supposed it made sense. Carja literally just explained that her dad (whatever that was) made the stuff, and Tahi was a gigantic nerd.

Madhukar followed Tahi in the endeavor of investigating the snow. She giggled when Tahi fell. "Come o' Tahi, no tha' bad." She looked up at the ceiling. Could she make storms in here? It was cold, it was water. Her storms could also be cold and were definitely watery. Maybe she could just try a thunderclap, to see what happened.

Except her thunderclap didn't come. She scowled, although unbeknownst to her, it was probably for the best. What had gone wrong? Had she not aimed? Hm...

"Yes it is," he complained, trying to get to his feet without seriously injuring himself. It was a Process, to be sure -- his legs were not built to navigate snow, and the only reason he was able to get up in the first place was because it wasn't just ice. He wobbled up like a newborn, reminded distinctly of his great fall when he'd first emerged from his chrysalis-egg, and looked around warily. Lots of creatures were gathered here, and he recalled that Madhukar didn't like large crowds, so he took a step in front of her -- proving a sort of physical barrier, so she didn't feel obligated to interact with them if she didn't want to.

He sighed. "I wish I had your fur, Madhukar. It's cold." He looked back towards the blizzard and squinted at it. A braver creature might have tried to force his way through, but Tahi-shei was really just curious. Maybe someone else would know more about where this snow was coming from...

Some kitten was yelling for him to stop, demanding answers. But Carja helpfully answered, more succinctly than he could for sure, and he threw his arms up into the air. "It's awesome!" He added, helpfully.

Hunter squealed as a snowball was flung at him, scrambling out of the way with a fit of giggles. "SNOWBALL FIGHT!!" He yelled back, scrambling up snow in his hands as quickly as he could to make a massive ball.

Realistically, it shouldn't have even been able to fly, but Hunter scrambled after the frantic, bright blue dragon, laughing the whole while. Arms raised the pile of snow (it really couldn't be called a "ball" so much as a big lump) and just when he got close enough, he threw the whole thing at Carja.

"Hahah!! Bet you can't catch me!" He yelled, "bet no one can hit me with a snowball!" The challenge rang out, and he was off like a shot, racing through the snow on all fours and bouncing like a ferret on a war path, tail streaming out behind him like a banner.

@Carja and everyone else, sorry for the wait ;O;
