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

[hellawrath]

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.

[That first question makes her shake her head-she has a stick somewhere? But she lost it somewhere in the snow during her pitching fervor.

Not that it matters because that cool treasure is far more interesting than any baseball bat. ]

You can talk to someone with that thing?

[Not just someone-a person with a baseball bat? Magical. She's impressed.]

cleared it with kaiya to cameo wade

You've never seen a walkie-talkie?

❰ on the one hand, she's used to meeting people from places with way lower levels of technology than hers had. on the other, it's still a little jarring that someone doesn't know what a walkie-talkie is. ❱

There are two of them - you can talk from one to the other. Wade has the other one. ❰ and she steps a little closer so ren can overhear, lifting the walkie to press the 'talk' button on the side. ❱

Hey, Wade?

❰ and shortly after she lets go of the 'talk' button, deadpool's voice crackles out of the walkie, which will henceforth be in courier font: ❱ Yeah, Peanut?

Do you... have any baseball bats?

Can't say I do, darlin'. Why, you wanna start up a team?

Just hitting snowballs. Thanks anyway.

❰ and she lets the walkie hand drop back to her side, shrugging a little. ❱ No luck.

[It's weird. They're talking as if he's right by Clementine's side. She remains silent for the entirety of their conversation, half listening and half scanning this machine for more buttons, for different speakers, for anything that gives her an indication of what else this cool treasure does.]

That's okay. We can make one.

[A stick works and they can find those in spades around the temple area. The problem now is she's distracted from their potential baseball adventure and stuck on this thing. How could she not be? If they had anything like this in the lab, her memory of it is long gone and it feels brand new.]

Did Wade find a 'walkie talkie' too? Are they in the jungle?

[Are these magical treasures buried in the ground somewhere? Maybe a shack she didn't thoroughly explore?]
