So I know I should probably say something about this totally amazing castle. I mean, it's not every day you just happen to fall into a magic castle with magic journals and who knows what else. [ She just takes a moment to let that settle in. ]. Don't get me wrong, I couldn't be more excited. But, there's a tiny tiny little problem I've run into. It's kind of lucky I found this thing on me, who knows what would happen if I didn't!

Let's start by saying the place I came from wasn't exactly the warmest. Long story short, my sister kind of froze the whole thing over and I had finally made it to her ice castle before I ended up here-- But that's not what I'm here for! I mean, I'd love to see my sister and all if possible, but worrying about that can wait until later.

Long story short, I kind of have this friend. My friend is... Well, I'm just going to say it. My friend is a snowman. Crazy, I know, I know. Talking snowmen-- Yikes! I was pretty frightened at first, but that's a story for another day. My friend-- The snowman-- Olaf-- Well, I'm just going to say it-- [ She takes a deep breath and says the next part really fast. ] Olaf is now kind of a puddle of water at the castle's entrance.

There, I said. I know we should probably mop him up, but he always wanted to know what summer was like. I feel like he deserves at least that much, even if he does have to spend it as a puddle. So please, please, please don't step in him or mop him up. I'll take care of him myself after he's had at least a few days to enjoy the weather.

[ If you'd rather run into her she can be found standing guard over a puddle in the lobby, glaring menacingly at anyone who dares get too close. ]

[And there is a tiny girl behind you, Anna, peering at your... friend... there... on the ground...]

There's a room, you know. It's cold and snowy like winter. Maybe if you put him in a bucket and took him there, he wouldn't be so melted anymore.

[elsaplz]

[ It hadn't occurred to Anna that someone would come up behind her, so the sudden voice was actually quite shocking. She spun around so fast she nearly fell face first in 'Olaf'. ]

Who me? [ Of course her. ] I mean-- Of course I knew that! [ She didn't. ] Uh... It's just, what happens if I don't get all of him in the bucket? And he really did want to know what summer was like... [ She looks down at the puddle. Poor guy. ]

[toyboat]

Well, you can take him to the summer room first, though I think he would be terribly bored in just a bucket in the sand. It's more fun if you can run on the beach! But probably he can't do that anyway.

[And with that, she crouches and pokes 'Olaf' with one finger.]

Dictated!

[rogueofheart]

[Talking snowman thing aside, because she's not going to touch that one, she doesn't take any joy in being the bearer of bad news, but someone has to tell her.]

I don't think you have to worry about your snowman anymore. If he is a puddle of water now, he will probably dry up within the hour.

Dictated!

[elsaplz]

Oh no! You're probably right, but we can't just let him dry up! The poor guy's already melted, that's not any way to enjoy the warm weather!

[rogueofheart]

Maybe you could soak him up in a towel and then squeeze him out of the towel into a cup?

[thiefoflight]

At least he'll come back in two weeks!

dictated;

[elsaplz]

And... what makes you think that? [ She doesn't get it. ] Is it supposed to snow again in two weeks?

[thiefoflight]

That's what happens when you die.

[Elsa had been trying not to sulk. She wanted to take the advice of the residents she had talked to the other week, wanted to make sure their time talking to her wasn't totally in vain. It was hard, and there were a few days where she still stayed curled up and all alone in her room... but that's not how she spent all her time, at least.

And she still needed to eat, so that plan would've been doomed from the start. That had been her current plan; wander down into the kitchen, find something to eat, then retreat back to her room, or perhaps the library.

Of course, that plan - and Elsa's steps - came to a complete, screeching halt when Elsa spied Anna standing in the lobby. A look of disbelief mixed with fearful hope crosses her face, and it takes a few tries before she can make a sound.]

... Anna?

[... Boy, Anna's in for quite a sight when she turns to look at Elsa. Oh, her dress is as regal as ever - one somewhat similar to what she wore during her coronation, but in varying shades of blue with silver snowflakes etched along the hem - but everything else just seems different. She's even paler than usual, like she hasn't been sleeping well, and her hair isn't in its usual braid, instead tied in a loose tail at the base of her neck.

Oh, and there's also the fact that she's missing her left arm. Right from the shoulder on, there's just nothing.]

[action]

[elsaplz]

[ Having already taken care of the puddle problem with Jenny, Anna returned to the scene of the crime with bucket in towe. Rather than playing gaurd-dog, this time Anna looked lost. Now what? The seasonal rooms were fun, but now she wasn't quite sure what to do with herself or where to go exactly.

Anna's questions were quickly answered by the all-too-familair voice calling her name. Of course it was Elsa, who else would it be? Though she'd scarcely seen her sister for over ten years, she'd heard go away, Anna enough times that it couldn't possibly belong to anyone else. ]

Elsa! I knew it! I knew you had to be here! [ Too relieved to see her sister, Anna didn't register much else. She'd hardly seen her sister enough to notice the difference in her complection, or much else for that matter.

Putting the bucket down (temporarily. give her a moment her snowy friend), she rushed towards her sister. ] Boy am I glad to see you, I went all the way up the North Mountain in search of you. Of course, you weren't there because you're here... Amazing castle by the way, you should have told me that you could do tha--

[ As she spoke, Anna ignored the "no touchie" rule and went to take her sisters hand in her own. Only, there was no hand there. Her eyes shot from the empty place where her arm should have been and back up to Elsa's face with concern. ] Elsa? What happened to you?

Dictated

[preformthisneigh]

Oh hey, you came back!

Sorry about your snowman friend. Maybe somepony knows a spell to make him un-puddled.

Dictated

[elsaplz]

Wait, what? What do you mean back, I've never been here before in my life. Trust me, I'd remember a place like this.

Really? You think so? That'd be nice, but it'd be too bad... Even un-puddled he'd just melt all over again. Poor little guy. It must be pretty tough living as a snowman.

[fearbringer]

[A shadowy dude that Anna may or may not be able to see or hear approaches!

He hasn't looked at the journal yet, so he's missed her entry-- but he's still curious about why she's guarding a puddle.]

What in the world are you doing...?

[He says it like he's half talking to himself, because he has no clue if she can actually hear him.]

[OOC: Info on what sorts of characters will be able to see/sense him!]

[action]

[elsaplz]

[ She can hear him, that's for for sure. Seeing him on the other hand? No luck there. At the sound of the voice she looks around and makes a face. When she doesn't seen anyone, she slaps her face lightly with both hands. ]

Whoo-boy. Get it together Anna, you've got work to do, now's no time to be hearing things. [ She chalks it up to the lack of sleep. Though she's not tired per-say, she's gone at least twenty-four hours without a good solid rest. ]

[omgbear]

In the entrance isn't a very safe place for a puddle. Even if the puddle used to be your friend.

[elsaplz]

It's not like I chose for him to melt in the entrance-- It just kind of, happened. You know how it is with snow and sunshine.

[Everyone's focusing on the latter part, why not the former? Because, what.]

How does your sister manage to freeze everything?

dictated;

[elsaplz]

Oh, that. Well, she kind of had these powers I didn't really know about and she didn't bother telling me about until she kind of lost it and-- Well, froze everything. It was actually pretty neat, except the part where ice cycles are pretty much flying at your head. [ She's exaggerating just a little. ]

[ action ]

[radiantwingedone]

... That would potentially explain things.

[ Except for some other things. He remembers quite a bit of time without being able to find you, and so that brings other things to mind. ]

Two questions - Have you punched anyone named Hans in the jaw, and is the puddle in the middle or elsewhere?

[ He can tell where Anna is - at least, he recognizes the voice, so it is likely Anna - but puddles on the ground aren't much help. He stays close to the side of the castle for now, at least. ]

[ action ]

[elsaplz]

Wait, what? Now I'm just confused. Who are you and how do you know my fiances name and why on earth would I dare even think about punching that... incredibly handsome face.

The puddle-- It's, well, kind of in the middle-ish... maybe?

Dictated.

[i_rule_me]

You've got a snowman for a friend?

...Weirdly enough, that's not the weirdest thing I've ever heard. If y'like, I could try somethin' ta make him a li'l less puddle, an' more solid snow? Never used that particular power this way, but I think it'll work. Care ta give it a shot?

Dictated.

[elsaplz]

Yeah, but he's not just any snowman. When we were kids he was, but this time he's different-- He's magic. He said my sister brought him to life with her magic, and as silly as it sounds I believe him.

Wait, what? Really? You can do that!? Yes, I'd love to see your magic-- I mean, assuming it's magic-- and by your magic I mean turn my friend back into his form!

[Sheena missed the announcement over the journal, so she's a little surprised to see a girl standing guard over a puddle. Her curiosity piqued, the ninja approaches.]

Is everything all right?

Action

[elsaplz]

Oh, just fine. [ She waves her hand back and forth like it's no big deal. ] As long as you don't step in this puddle, that is.
