ϡ - Chapter Thirty; Winter Wonderland antics [Voice|Action]

[ Good morning Luceti if you’re in town today, and probably in the surrounding areas as well, you’ll notice some large lumbering pure white figures walking about some might even be flying. No, no, they aren’t harmful in the least, although the creatures they take after might argue otherwise, and they are not yetis or other such things that come out in the thickest of snowfalls. What they however are the products of one derpy headmaster feeling the Christmas cheer thanks to the effects the Malnosso have put in place and him waking up very early in the morning after the snowfall last night to make said creatures. There will be various mythological snow creatures walking about today though none of them can make much noise or do much of anything, they’re pretty docile actually and if you wanted to you could probably even ride on top of them they won't mind, really! There will be a dragon with icicles for horns and teeth following Helios around as he makes his way into town. He’ll be there for a good portion of the day also making a majestic Griffin, and a snow unicorn. That’s not to say these are the only things that’ll be popping up. Other mythological creatures might be seen around as well. Phoenixes, mandrakes, minotaurs, kitsunes, Kodama in the more forested areas and even Nue. The list is really endless and well Helios has been having probably too much fun doing this. Some of them will be life sized, but nothing too extravagant or outlandish, lets say the tallest would be around ten or so feet tall, while others miniature. They’ll all be moving and just mulling about and you can be sure they’re movements are quite like the real things if you’ve ever encountered one.

They can be interacted with through the entire day with Helios sometimes in accompaniment. And later into the afternoon Helios will be found in the town square with his snowy dragon companion making your standard issued snowmen, each one getting their own complimentary hat, scarf, and pipe. He'll take a break and eventually pull out his journal for a short little network post.

Ah there's nothing like freshly fallen snow to make a good sturdy snowman out of, is there? I used to do it all the time back in Romania. I believe there was even a game that whoever had the best would have to make hot chocolate for everyone...with extra marshmallows. [ A thoughtful hum. ]

I was thinking...has Luceti ever had a snowman or ice sculpture competition? I've seen some extremely good ones around as of late. I think we could have a rather good turn out, quite the competition too, all in good fun though!

[ He may not be able to summon mythica into existence here, without the dangers of the side effects it would impose on his own world, but that doesn't mean he can't build them as an alternative! And because he just has to ask... ] Are there any creatures in your worlds that can control this element or are at least generally associated with it? Yuki-onna is one of the better known ones in mine. A tall and beautiful woman with black hair and blue lips. She's said to be quite cold, figuratively and literally, but she also has a more motherly and good side to her. The Snow Queen is another one, based on Yuki-onnas, and then there's even Jack Frost too. All are very similar in the fact that they deal with this element. And let's not forget Yetis, interesting beings yetis are. They have quite knowledge of mountaineering not that I expected any less of course.

[ He totally knows this from experience guys. Not like anyone is surprised anymore. ] I suppose Santa Claus can work too tis the season after all! I wonder if the people here had anyone like him? Ah, well, left to speculation at this point hm? I do hope everyone has a good holiday though, you can never get too into the spirit of things.

[ Albeit the Malnosso seem to fit that bill at times...but, no, he is not going to let the Malnosso ruin his Christmas not this year. Finally around later in the evening all the snow mythica will go back to being their snowy, sculptural selves, and can be found throughout the village in regal more natural poses. ]

Something like that. It's more like, uh... Heaven. Devaloka were where the gods lived. Naraka's what my world's called - a friend of mine, Aoba, told me that in his world, Naraka is a place of being... Like, um... Where you enter and leave based on your karma. [Though the word Asuras gives him pause. That was plural ,so a singular would be... Asura? That was his past life's name.] Um, could you tell me more about Asura-- uh, the Asuras? What they're like in your world.

[Pausing, too, to think.] ...Each community house or regular house could be a different team... They'd have to work together, and then people who didn't know each other despite living in the same building could become friends. [This is actually sounding like a good idea.]

[Who've done wrong... Oh, that's not so nice. And that description of the Asura... Not too far off the mark, he guesses.] Oh, I see. So they're a lot like the gods that were cast down from Devaloka for being greedy... They were turned into humans.

[If this actually happens--] Exactly! But how would they choose leaders for the team..? It'd be easy amongst regular houses, since people who live together would know what's best, but the community buildings have a lot of different people... I guess we'd have to choose them ourselves.

Or maybe whoever comes up with the idea with the sculpture so then people know how to crate their vision? [Or whatever it is that artists have...]

[Hmmm. Prizes are a little trickier... And they'd have to get enough for large groups of people... Or be able to make enough for large groups...] You can really get anything you want here, huh... Why not just a trip to the hot springs? It'll feel really nice in the winter, and even though we can go there whenever I don't hear a whole lot about it..?

Yeah, exactly! Do you think there'd be a lot of people interested in this kind of competition? And I wonder when the best time would be to do it... [Luca is also quite taken with this idea.]

That sounds good. [To both things. Hmm.] Is Christmas a big celebration? If so, then it'd probably be better to do it in January... People might be busy otherwise.

You have songs for it?

Heheh... Frosty the Snowman. Because he's cold-- [Don't explain the joke, boy.] Rudolph's a weird name for a reindeer-- why does he have a red nose?

[Luca laughs a little, too. It all seemed so unreal--

probably because it was, but whatever.]
Christmas sounds magical itself. We don't have anything like this back home, but it seems really fun. What else do you do? I'm guessing all the lights are for it, and giving gifts is a common practice from what I've read... Is there anything else?

[Please tell him about mistletoe]

[Ahh Christmas sounds nice--

Hm?]


Mistletoe?

O-Oh! It sounds, um... It sounds quaint... We don't have anything like that back home.

I'll be sure to avoid them, then. [Especially when in the presence of. Certain people.] Thank you for the warnin-- um, information.

As am I. I don't think I could take it if it happened year-round.
