folklorist | ϡ - Chapter Fifty; Let it snow, let it snow [action|voice]

[ Helios will be dumped off unceremoniously into the snow early morning of the 2nd of December. It's a light snow, but it is sticking, so he's bound to be able to make some sculptures with it. It's become something of a tradition and Helios is going to uphold it for as long as he can. Despite the evident bruising and his wobbly steps Helios is going to pretend that he wasn't just dumped into the snow by a pair of droids. He'll set off right to work after returning to House 44 and stopping off at House 51 to check in on Max and his housemates. Ensuring them all that he's not gone and that he had just been mallynapped for a few days. He'll also be busy setting up some Christmas decorations in the Library because tis the season, etc, etc. Once that's taken care of he'll set to work in the plaza.

He'll setup a station with warm cider, coffee, and coco before he makes his sculptures once again around the general vicinity of the town. It's a nice way to bring in the new season and the first snow fall of the year. Luminair and Maggir will be with him as well, Luminair sporting a cute little sweater while Maggir has her thick fur coat. They're both having loads of fun in the snow. Maggir especially since she was built for the weather. The two dragons will run over and play with anyone who walks by including snow mythica. They'll be around town chasing the prancing unicorns, fluttering pixies and swooping phoenixes that dot the sky, each one leaving a trail of snow in the air as they dive and twirl in the air. serpentine dragons will smoothly move through the snow strewn ground in silent majestic grace. Anyone can stop by for some entertain or make your own. ]

How many of you have heard of a Yuki-onna? They're a type of spirit that takes the form of a beautiful woman with raven black hair. They're said to lead traveler's astray to freeze to death in the winter months of Japan. But to be fair I've always found them helpful on my travels. [ He'll laugh a little at that because he got so terribly lost that one time... ]

There's also Amarok, Akhlut, Barbegazi, Hrimthurs, Ijiraq, and some others. But Jotuns, Yetis, Wendigoes, and Father Winter are probably some of the more well known names associated with winter. It's amazing how many mythological creatures are associated with weather when you think about it. Oh! I almost forgot about Jack Frost! He's a very popular character during this time of the year too. [ Derp Helios, derp. ]

But if anyone wants to stop by plaza for some hot coco and to help me build some snow myths feel free to do so! The new cafe in Cloud Nine's place is just about ready to open as well. I have some food from the menu out for snacking on too, if people would oblige me in taste testing them. I think having it open after the New Year will be best since, ah, I still need a good few volunteers to help out with running it. If-if you know anyone or would like to help out feel free to contact me in person or through the journals. I'll certainly be about!

[ And true to his word Helios will definitely have hot plates of food out for people to nibble on as well. It's an assortment of things like pot stickers, some cheese and crackers, and other finger foods. Some of them recognizable while others not so much. ]

Hah. A very different sort indeed, then.

Monsters are so often misunderstood. But attending school? Curious. Were they anything like the Jotun I know, I'd wonder if you were going to teach then better ways to eat children.

Ah w-well I guess our versions and worlds are different that way, maybe? [ There's more than one universe where Jotun exist because Loki is definitely not the same Loki from his world. ]

Certainly have none of that of course. I-I wouldn't be a very good headmaster if Jotun and Demons and Vampires ate my human students. [ He laughs a bit nervously on his end. ]

So it would seem, since you have spoken of a Loki who manifestly is not me.

Sounds more of a circus or a zoo than a school.

Yes he looks...very different from you. [ It's a good thing Loki can't seem him because Helios' expression is one of, well, uncomfortable unease. ]

Not at all! It's actually rather nice. To be honest I am...rather surprised myself about a few things. But it's for the benefit of the entire planet and all the beings that live on it. Showing that mythica and humans can coexist together might lead to them not having to hide anymore.

Very few manage to reach my level of handsome charm.

Coexistence. How... quaint. Oh, do the humans have the monsters on the run?

[ Helios lets out an amused snort at that. ]

Not on the run per say. But they are vastly outnumbered to humans in this day and age. Even if all the mythica did come together I don't think they would even be half of the six billion humans that live on the planet today.

There are rather a lot of you.

[Heck, it's what keeps him mostly behaving here. He doesn't want to spend the rest of however long fighting. Even he would eventually be overwhelmed. Though at least on earth, death is permanent, which helps.]

Though I suppose it depends on the size of...appetites. You're not likely to get a sort of perfect alliance though, anyway. Bad luck for them.

It-it doesn't have to be perfect, nothing ever is usually. But I-I can't just give up on all the myths that have expressed interest to join and help me. It wouldn't be fair.

[ So he will try his best to make it happen, even if it won't be perfect or as cookie cut as the fairytales and stories will paint it to be. ]
