Christmas in July! Snowball Fight! - IC Signups/Setup - Asimona - Jun 02 2018
Asimona paced. She paced and paced and her Sister watched from the side, sitting neatly and patiently while the silver dragon walked off her anxiety. tags: notes: RE: Christmas in July! Snowball Fight! - IC Signups/Setup - Kin-Kin - Jun 03 2018
There was a chrysalis in the tomb. There was a chrysalis in the tomb. Caves, what have I done? What do I do? Kin-Kin was troubled; she didn't know what to think. In fact, she was trying not to. But something must have leaked into her movements as she padded on, because she was moving faster than her usual slow strut, trotting along the bank of the crystal river. Soon, the golden wolf noticed a chill begin to settle in on the air. It drew her out of her thoughts long enough to notice her breaths turning to steam around her muzzle. An involuntary shiver rippled beneath her cloak. It didn't take a genius, or a magickal champion for that matter, to work out that magic was the cause. Kin-Kin looked around, scanning the river, the far bank, before finally looking up beyond the gentle slope beyond her. Shesaw a silvery shape distantly, which, in its glistening loveliness, could easily have been mistaken for a crystalline statue, or, in one of the colder caves, an ice formation. But Kin-Kin could see it moving; and a voice reached her pricked ears. Kin-Kin's curiosity piqued, and eager to distract her attention from self-pity, she padded towards it. The shape grew bigger, and bigger, and bigger; soon, Kin-Kin was craning her neck as elegantly as she could to peer up at the dragon. As she approached, the air grew colder. This, she knew, was the source of the cold. "Yo, kid! 'Sup?" she called, settling back on her haunches with a clink of her bejewelled sword. "Tryin' to freeze out the cave rats or somethin'?" When I speak. When I think. @Asimona RE: Christmas in July! Snowball Fight! - IC Signups/Setup - Asimona - Jun 03 2018
Asimona flinched at the new voice that had appeared and whipped around, initially seeing nothing. But after looking down she spotted the glowing golden wolf sitting just in front of her. She had to blink for a moment, wondering if she was seeing things as this was a creature she had never seen before. With fabric over its shoulders and a bright gem on its leg as well as a gem on its chest. Which was its actual gem? tags: @Kin-Kin notes: RE: Christmas in July! Snowball Fight! - IC Signups/Setup - Felina - Jun 04 2018 Finding a new den was harder than Felina thought. She knew she'd miss Canis, but there wasn't anything there for the female bobcat runt anymore. Sure, the pile of bones were fun to run around in/on/through, but now she was fourteen cycles old. She still could have some fun, if she wanted to, but a permanent home was her primary concern now. {Maybe...Polaris?}, she wondered mentally. Well, should could at least check it out. She knew she was going in the right direction when she felt powerful Majick in the in the air. When she arrived, she saw two Greater Gembounds that were so very different from each other: A humungous reptile with wings (Asimona) and a smaller lupine (Kin-Kin). She stopped at five feet from both of them, feeling the increasing cold as she stood there. She looked at them both inquisitively, curious about what was going on. @asimona, @kin-kin ((OOC: Felina thinks like this: { }. She talks like this: " ". Also, it's OK if Asimona and Kin-Kin catch her scent.)) RE: Christmas in July! Snowball Fight! - IC Signups/Setup - Jayberry - Jun 05 2018

Kin-Kin was surprised by the answer. A snowball fight? she'd never heard of anything like it. The only gem-organized event she'd been involved in was the Olympics, which, for her, was both the source of immense joy and heartbreak. This one, on the other hand, seemed to be a lot more relaxed. It was a bizarre thought, but this event suited Kin-Kin perfectly; the notoriously competitive, fun-loving creature that she was. "Snowball fight, huh? That's a new one!" she let out a bark of laughter. "Sounds like just my thing." She swished her tail beneath the cloak, adjusting its position. "Sure, I'll help! I've got just the thing." She turned towards the water, only to see a pitch black wolf cub bounding over- a sight which raised her brows in a moment of nostalgia. "Hey, kid!" she grinned. She paused, her nostrils twitching as the scent of another newcomer caught her attention. She turned, looking around, and caught sight of a feline, not far away from the wolf and dragon. She dipped her head in greeting before addressing the other two. "We're gonna be snowball fightin'. Wanna help bring some water over?" Then she looked back at Asimona. "The name's Kin-Kin, by the way. Demigod and Master of Light. Don't wear it out." She raised a paw and stomped it against the ground, transferring her energy into the earth. There was a soft creak as the rock shifted, quartz crystals forming, weaving and reforming. They reformed into a small bowl, with a loop to grasp in the jaws. It was small enough for the pup to carry, a little basket made entirely of crystal. "Here. If ya wanna help, this'll be more productive than fillin' your cheeks." she said to the little puppy, before turning to the bobcat. "Give me a moment, and I can make you one too, if you want in." When I speak. When I think. @Asimona @Felina @Jayberry RE: Christmas in July! Snowball Fight! - IC Signups/Setup - Asimona - Jun 07 2018
Asimona was a little surprised at the two newcomers approaching. Was this a good enough idea for others to really approach her as well? Would this be something that worked? As she looked down at them, she really wanted to believe that this would be fun, that this would be the thing that worked. To bring together those that were good in a friendly, fun competition. And, of course, show them the beauty of snow! tags: @Jayberry @Felina notes: RE: Christmas in July! Snowball Fight! - IC Signups/Setup - Pride - Jun 07 2018 Pride paced up, and for a few moments, listened quietly. He was having issues seeing, after his... encounter, with the goose Blackberry, and his backfired spell. His eyes were cast with a milky haze, and he found himself having to half-feel his way along, using hearing and scent as much as sight to find his way. Everything was a blur. But he could hear well enough, and for a time he took in Asimona's words in silence, as well as those of her companions. The wolf's introduction, and the way she called others "kid," immediately irked him; it seemed braggardly, and his own pride found it arrogant. He shook the thought away, and waited. When there seemed to be a lull in the conversation, he stepped delicately out. "I think," he offered, in his melodic voice, "that I can help. I can call on water, and freeze it, if you wish--but what is a... snowball fight?" He peered quizzically at Asimona, at this, even as he picked his way cautiously closer. She was a white mist in his sight, vast and pale, but he could not make her out properly. Nor the wolf--a smaller blur, a browner one. There was an even smaller, black blur, and Pride gave this--Jayberry--a brief dip of his head in acknowledgement. And he could scent something else--but he wasn't sure what, or where; it was unfamiliar but did not strike him as particularly dangerous, and so for now, he ignored it. The young deer closed his eyes, head held high, standing amongst the predators without really thinking about it. Those he had met thus far had been perfectly reasonable, after all. He concentrated on his stone, on his magicka, on the air all around him--trying to summon up a cloud of mist before himself. After a moment he felt strange--withering, parched with thirst--and began to faintly tremble. Wait... that's not right. RE: Christmas in July!

RE: Christmas in July! Snowball Fight! - IC Signups/Setup - Pride - Jul 11 2018 Pride grunted. After a few moments he steadied himself, and looked around, blinking. ...He'd have to just try again. He eyed the wolf and its bucket, and then shook himself, clearing his mind. He wasn't sure the poured water would do much good; he wanted to try it with mist, instead, so it'd be fluffy. Like snow. ...Whatever snow was. Squinting, legs splayed, he lowered his head and focused again--concentrating on creating a thick mist, and drawing it close around him. This time it worked, and in no time at all he was vanished in a cloak of swirling white. "Stay back," he warned, to no one in particular; "I want to make sure this doesn't freeze anyone completely." He'd focus for a moment, and then attempt to turn it into snow. @Felina @Asimona @Kin-Kin @Jayberry |
