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.

Uh... hm!

[he... thinks he gets it.]

Bet you can't do it again! I know I can hit it.

[There's a good chance he will miss on purpose to boost her go.]

[personal profile] catpiper 2018-01-22 12:14 pm (UTC)(link)
You won't! I won't let you.

[Is that a challenge?? Because she's quick to take him up on it and immediately scoops another snowball into her hands.

Think fast, Mickey! She tosses it kinda sorta in his direction?? She's doing her best.

Take that!

[And he'll raise his hand... and miss it by a mile. To heck with his dignity, that smile of hers will keep him warm forever.]

Aw gee, you're just too good for me!
catpiper: (rather not gamble on an afterlife)

[personal profile] catpiper 2018-01-26 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
[She can't believe that Mickey missed. Gosh, her extraordinary baseball skills are besting even the most talented of mice. Incredible. Her face hurts from smiling.]

It's okay! I can teach Mickey. You'll be able to hit it. It's five strikes and then you're out.

[Or was it 3? She forgot. Oh well.]

[She's so adorable. Gosh, Mickey just loves kids, and seeing that smile makes him happy beyond words.]

Aw, I'd love to learn from you, Ren! I bet you're pretty smart and know all kinds of things.
catpiper: (the end came for my ass)

[personal profile] catpiper 2018-01-31 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[The words Ren and pretty smart are so rarely used in the same sentence that it takes her a second to fully comprehend what he said.

And when she does-boy oh boy.

I know everything about baseball [She doesn't] and cats [no] and hiding [lord]. Those are things I can show you.

Well, I know my world definitely doesn't have one of those things - baseball!
catpiper: (is your cats but its me)

[personal profile] catpiper 2018-02-01 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Whoa!! Even her garbage world had this game. His didn't? It's her sacred mission to teach the mouse how to play good ole baseball.]

It's easy. You'll be able to learn everything very fast.

[What should she teach him first though? Hm.]

Do you want to pitch?

[This is so pure my heart aches. Mickey nods vigorously!]

Sure thing, teacher Ren!
catpiper: (orla orla hypothesis)

[personal profile] catpiper 2018-02-03 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
[TEACHER REN. Who knew it was this easy to get a teaching degree? 8 Years of education?? Nah.]

Okay!

[She quickly packs together a snowball for him, shoving it into his little mouse hands and takes a few steps back.]

You have to get it past me. Throw it really hard.

[SHE'S GONNA USE HER HAND AS A BAT.]

[personal profile] souris_keteer 2018-02-03 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Huh, that doesn't sound... hard at all, actually. If he just throws it over her head, she probably can't hit it, right?]

Okay, here I go!

[Throw!]
catpiper: (shoujo professional sparkles)

[personal profile] catpiper 2018-02-04 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's the same kind of tactic she employs in her terrible variation of snow baseball. Even though she raises an arm, prepared to smack the ball with her hand, it nyooms past.

And she looks extremely happy when it does.

Good job, good job! You did it!

[personal profile] souris_keteer 2018-02-04 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Ha ha ha ha! This is pretty fun, Ren!
catpiper: (what if my soul leaves my body)

[personal profile] catpiper 2018-02-06 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
It's very fun. You can play this kind of game with everyone.

[He'll be able to teach everyone he knows after Instructor Ren is through with him.]

[personal profile] souris_keteer 2018-02-07 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
We should teach everyone this game! It's good fun, and good exercise!
catpiper: (the end came for my ass)

[personal profile] catpiper 2018-02-07 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
[That sounds like a plan? She is 200% on board with this!]

Okay, we can do that together.
souris_keteer: (Default)

[personal profile] souris_keteer 2018-02-07 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Absolutely! Everyone will get to learn from the amazing teacher, Ren!
catpiper: (orla orla hypothesis)

[personal profile] catpiper 2018-02-08 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Mickey can be a teacher too.

[personal profile] souris_keteer 2018-02-08 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh heh, I suppose I can try!
