ORIGIN - [Winter In Polaris]A Snowy House

Pages: 1 2 3 4

Esther's nose scrunched up at the notion of there even being sticks in the area. There wasn't, there was no trees here, let alone anything that could drop branches. Esther wondered how long the wolf was here without noticing that one simple fact - surely she should have noticed by now? Or was the focus on the stupid fort that just got half buried?

"There are no trees for any sticks to be here. You will not find those near this place." The maned wolf said.

@Comet

How could she have not noticed that before? She must've just been so used to having trees everywhere she went she never stopped to think about how Polaris really didn't have any trees. What else could be used for support other than sticks? Long, and hard... ice! Ice wouldn't melt here, and they would be pretty stable supports. "Maybe some thick ice chunks?" They shouldn't be too hard to find and break off. Unless the maned wolf was incredibly weak. Comet didn't know, maybe they really were that weak.

@Esther

No, Esther wasn't weak. Even if their limbs were incredibly odd looking and spindly, they were still strong enough. They did only really use magic, though, so that could pose an issue seeing as the snow couldn't burn. It wouldn't melt the ice, either, burning cold. The fire was weird and Esther didn't like it. Even if Esther didn't want to help this wolf, they supposed they would for now.

"Fine." Getting out of this was going to be harder than they thought.

Esther moved away, to look for a block of ice.

Shot through Esther's head like wildfire. No. They would not hurt the kid.

@Comet

Comet wondered if the maned wolf really wanted to help, but she didn't ask. If they didn't want to they could just say something, and seeing as they didn't, she assumed that they were going to get her those blocks of ice.

She herself finds a good block of ice and shoves it into the snow fort's tunnel. It seemed to work, and the ceiling wasn't wobbling anymore. She waited for the maned wolf to hopefully find some more.

@Esther

Esther hated the snow, sure, but they were not going to burn the kid for making them help. If anything Esther could just... Leave. If they really wanted to. But this was one of the few times they would be able to be out and have fun this cycle without sticking close to that dark place. That didn't entirely make them sad, but it made them wonder what the point of leaving was. To not go crazy from being alone all the time, they supposed.

Esther prodded through the snow despite their paw pads (did they even still have paw pads?) yelling about the cold. The ice block came into view as Esther moved, their tail waving behind them. Well. Cool. They could push it back now. And push it back they did, even if it took some effort.

@Comet

Comet happily took the last piece needed, and pushed it into the tunnel. After propping it up against the wall, the fort was complete. Now what? "Okay! That's it." she exclaimed. The maned wolf was looking pretty grumpy now, so she assumed they weren't going to stick around. "You can go if you want. Or you can stay. I'm going to sleep here now." And with that, Comet curled into a ball and fell asleep.

"Exit to sleep"

@Esther

After Esther pushed the block all the way back to the hut the canine had made, she had instantly commented on going to sleep. Esther's own limbs were tired, too, but they had a ways to go to get back where they should be. Oh well, maybe they would find something cool on the way back or something. (or something to catch on fire hehe).

"I'm going then." They replied before turning around to leave.

Exit
