I get a little warm in my heart [mingle log]

Who: anyone looking for some wintery fun!
What: admiring mysterious icy artwork, warming up by campfires, making a fool of yourself while ice skating, snowball fights?? it's a snow party!
When: Jan 14 and on
Where: Enso, in and around the temple ruins
Warnings: snow-based violence


When you've had to deal with a literal apocalypse every single year for a hundred years, a little battle for the sun isn't really gonna grind your gears that much. Sure, the elf twins are still nobly doing their part every day. Lup is keeping several small campfires going inside the temple ruins, as well as periodically blasting two large stone slabs in the main chamber with a Fireball - those babies radiate heat for hours afterwards. And Taako is graciously handing out truly delicious soup from a huge bowl to anyone who asks nicely. Island Walmart is still a thing too, the large scrawled sign declaring this month's name to be The Hot Spot. Looks like it was Lup's turn on the naming.

But they're also just kinda bored of the whole thing? Like, everyone's so focused on preparing, on gathering and planning and training. There's a place for that, and Lup is pretty psyched for the actual fighting, but this pall of doom and purpose that's fallen over the islands as heavily as the snow? Neither of them is here for that.

So anyone who makes their way up to the temple will not only find the usual warm respite from the freezing temperatures, but also - a ten foot tall ice sculpture of a majestic as fuck unicorn rearing on its hind legs. And a smaller one of a figure with long ears hiding its face in the crook of its elbow, arms pointing upwards do we have a single modern day character who knows what dabbing is. Off to the side in a clearing, there's a twenty foot circle of clear ice that's just begging to be skated on. Just don't admire the artwork for too long, or you're gonna get noscoped with a snowball by a pair of horrible winter goblins.

"Only in legends where I'm from, I'm afraid," Isabella said. "But it is curious that our legends represent a physical creature."

Then again, the mice and spiders, among others, of Isabella's world haven't yielded any technological civilizations, so maybe there is some deep commonality in biology that means that even those worlds without unicorns find them reasonable forms of horses.

Mickey "hmm"ed about this for a moment or two. "It might mean that any legend or fairy tale or made-up thing in our world is real somewhere else!"

"What are your world's legends, then?"

"Oh, we have all kinds of myths and legends and fairy tales... I just really hope the scary stories I heard when I was a kid ain't true somewhere else."

Mickey laughs nervously, trying to calm himself. "I-I'm sure none of those things would ever come here... right?"

"If they did, we do have some ability to handle ourselves. And knowledge of a subject reduces the fear one has."
