[Bobby's outside, holding the journal facing towards him with one hand and tossing a snowball with the other.]

I promise this is not my fault! I had absolutely nothing to do with this.

[Not that anyone except for maybe two people would have any reason to suspect him. But he's too used to having to give a disclaimer every time snow comes when it probably shouldn't have.]

But since it is here and awesome, I am totally taking advantage of it.

Does anyone like ice skating? Someone go skating with me, guys!

[There's a pause as he throws the snowball high up into the air and lets it fall back to the ground.]

Or if we can get enough people, I am all in for a game of snow capture the flag.

[It is SNOWING, and Bobby is the happiest mutant ever right now. Reply here or come bug him outside? He's wandering around all over, so if it's some place outside, feel free to run into him there.]

Do you normally cause snow on a daily basis? [She's grinning - but, no. Seriously. Do you?]

I'll come skate with you. [She's already on her way out.]

[Video]

[mister10below]

[And now Bobby is even happier.]

Raven! Yes! Come skate with me!

[He grins back, completely thrilled.]

And no, I don't. But that doesn't stop people from blaming me, anyway.

[Pause.]

Okay, maybe it happened a few times.

[hidingnolonger.livejournal.com]

I'm on it. [She's way ahead of him - she's already on her way outside, and her next response to him is...In person!]

Yeah? What, are you a master of snow and ice or something? [She comes up next to him, still grinning, but - wait a second.]

...Wait, seriously?

[mister10below]

[Glee, it's a Raven! He grins at her when she comes up to him, and it doesn't fade at her question.]

Not really a master.

[And then he hesitates, because that 'seriously' might not be good.]

Um. Kind of?

[Video]

[spellsdeadwrong.livejournal.com]

[AH-HA. HE SEES THIS POST.]

...now that you've said that, I'm all the more likely to blame you.

[Okay, so he's more amused now than anything else. But it's cold! So he's blaming you!

Because he can.]

[Video]

[mister10below]

You think I would have learned by now that an instant disclaimer does nothing to stop people from blaming me.

[He's grinning cheerfully.]

Of course, they usually do it, anyway.

[Video]

[spellsdeadwrong.livejournal.com]

Instant disclaimers make people more likely to blame you!

So why would you be responsible for this all, anyways? Are you an ice mage?

[Video]

[mister10below]

Okay, well. Yeah. There's that. But I had to be proactive before!

Kind of? I'm a mutant. But I can create ice and stuff, so it might be similar.

*Sollux was really hoping the lake wouldn't be frozen over like the ground, but it seemed he wasn't as lucky as he'd hoped. He pauses by the edge of it, poking the ice with a toe. Maybe he could break it open...but he didn't really have any desire to go IN the water. It was just better when it wasn't solid.

He sighs and shakes his head, pulling into the coat he grabbed out of the clothier's tower tighter around him.*

Stupid keep.

*He grunts, then snaps his head up. Was there someone on the lake? What the hell?*

[Commentlog]

[mister10below]

[It is definitely someone on the lake! Bobby's skating cheerfully, if a little aimlessly, and when his next direction change causes him to spot someone standing on the edge of the shore, he skates over.]

Hey! Looking to go ice skating, too?

[Commentlog]

[thii2ii22tupiid]

Ice skating? *Hn...* Like what you're doing?

*It sure seemed rather pointless.*

Why?

[Commentlog]

[mister10below]

Yup. You've never been, then?

[There's a pause.]

Because it's fun?

[bondedgryphon]

[Zhaneel missed the audio post entirely, being as how the moment there was any amount on the ground or Keep walls, the gryphon was already out and in it.

She is gurgling happily, unused to playing in snow with the rarity it actually fell within the Peligirs.

Bobby will more than likely run into the gryphon while she is in the process of pouncing various snow-drifts in a clamber of talons.]

[Commentlog]

[mister10below]

[Bobby's tromping through the snow, balancing a couple of snowballs with plans to toss them at the next person he sees. Plans which are completely forgotten when he sees what's also out there in the snow.

It's a gryphon. A gryphon pouncing snow drifts.

This is the coolest thing ever.

He still stops a little bit away from the pouncing gryphon, though, just in case this is the kind of gryphon that doesn't like people.]

Hello?

[Commentlog] Got delayed killing people last night, lol

[bondedgryphon]

[Zhaneel crouches low on the snow covered ground, or at least as low as she can, tail slashing through the air behind her. She pins her ears and springs, coming up a moment later with a mouse dangling by it's tail from her beak. She chirrups happily low in her throat, but freezes as a voice greets her from behind.

She lifts her head and pivots slightly, eying Bobby with big inquisitive eyes as he does the same. Bowser to answer, she must firs eat or release her prey. Bobby you have saved a mouses' life this day. She drops the mouse to the snow and it flees with a terrified squeak, but her ears are already up and her attention on the human. She gives her head a bob,'shaking snow off her feathers and fur.]

Heyla!

[Pay no kind to the wad of snow on her head, please. :D]

[Commentlog] A noble pursuit! XD

[mister10below]

[...and the gryphon's got a mouse. Maybe he's disturbing mealtime. Which is generally not a good thing, though at least if she's eating mice, she probably won't decide he's a better snack?

The gryphon's looking at him, though, so he offers a tentatively friendly smile.

And is rewarded with speech! It's a talking gryphon! Best day ever.]

Hi! Are you enjoying the snow, too?

[Video]

[allthesame2me]

[Alex's own face is flushed with the cold, but his grin couldn't possibly be bigger than it is now.]

I haven't been skating in years, but I'm totally up for it if this place has anything resembling skates!

Or capture the flag .. hell, anything to keep me out here until I can't feel my body.

[The desert dweller can't even begin to explain how excited he is for snow.]

[Video]

[mister10below]

[Bobby grins back, pleased at having someone else excited for the snow.]

Capture the flag would be wicked if we can get enough interest in it!

I'm all for skating, though! I don't know if this place has any skates, but I can make us some.

[And Aara is cautiously walking toward and around the edge of the frozen lake, careful not to step on the ice, but clearly attempting to get nearer to the young man who had seemed so happy and energetic on the journal.]

Commentlog

[mister10below]

[Bobby's out on the lake, amusing himself by lazily skating figure eights, occasionally broken up with a few simple jumps and spins. It's not until he skates a bit closer to the edge that he spots someone walking along the shoreline, but once he does, he turns to skate closer to her, smiling cheerfully.]

Hey! Are you looking to skate, or are you just out enjoying the snow?

Commentlog

[angha-firebird.livejournal.com]

Skate?

[Okay. So she's a little nervous. She'd never done--whatever it was he was doing right now. It looked as though he was flying along the ice.]

Is that what you're doing now?

[Hesitantly, biting her lip before deciding to be daring and blurting her question out she asks:] What's capture the flag?

Commentlog

[mister10below]

[He smiles warmly at her.]

It is! Have you never been before?

[And another smile at her question.]

It's a game. It's played with a big group of people. You split them into two teams, and each team gets a flag. The object of the game is to get the other team's flag before they get yours.

It's fun in the snow, because you can build a snow fort to hide your flag, and station people there to protect it. And use snowballs! So it's like combining capture the flag with a snowball fight.

[ghostly-stutter.livejournal.com]

[Grins.]

I should have known this is the first place you would go.

[She hollers out over the lake to him, looking down warily at the ice, taking a deep breath before stepping onto the frozen lake and trying out a few shuffle steps in her shoes. Hey--not so bad.]

[mister10below]

[He turns when he hears Chloe calling out, and smiles brightly, skating over to her.]

Apparently I'm a little predictable! Though I did build a few snowmen first.

Enjoying the snow?

[ghostly-stutter.livejournal.com]

[Chloe laughs--indeed she was enjoying the snow, for all she was freezing and parts of her were numb.]

Snowmen first? With button noses? Be careful--you never know with this place, you might actually bring one to life.

[She grins, plainly joking around.]

I am. Almost feels like home.
