017 Summons ❈ Action & Dictation ❈ Snowfall

[ninjainviolet]

[Isn't it a beautiful sight, residents of Paradisa? The snow is falling gently, covering everything from the castle to the surrounding area in a blanket of white and seeming silence. People bundled against the cold move quickly to get out of the "storm"--except for those few who decide they'd rather take this time and enjoy the cold, white stuff with snowmen, snowball fights, and the odd snow angel or two.

Including a certain blue-skinned lady who seems to be very much at home in freezing temperatures--although her idea of playing is to make the snow move in directions other than "down", building ice walls, and creating icicles to reflect the aurora's light.

People from a certain planet will recognize this lady and know she's probably not alone; and if they look (very hard), they'll find the one she's with tucked away in one of the corners of the castle's roof.

Sheena's sitting there with her journal on her lap when an idea occurs to her. Calling out to Celsius, she gives her instructions and sends her on her way. Counting, she then opens the journal and sends a message.]

[Filtered to Once-ler]
Hey, Once-ler! Look out!

[Nothing like a snowball from the Spirit of Ice coming into your room unannounced.]

[ooc: Anyone's free to bother Sheena in person, or make comments about Celsius in their journal to get her attention. And yes, she's another one from that wacky planet that likes to sit on the roof. :D]

Comments

Placeholder and Sheena forever

[whichwayyoulean]

[That is a terrible warning, Sheena. He really wasn't expecting it.

It's been a few years since he saw snow (what with the damage to the ecosystem and all) and he'd been quietly enjoying watching it fall when the snowball hit him with a SPLOT]

ARGH! Sheena?! What- why- [ugh, brushing snow off, glancing around, and-] WHAT IS THAT?!!!!

Once-ler forever

[ninjainviolet]

[Sheena's mock indignation comes through the journal clearly.]

"THAT" as you put it is Celsius, the Spirit of Ice.

[A beat.]

I told you I had more.

[whichwayyoulean]

...Oh gee. Thanks for sharing that with me. I feel very important right now.

[Sarcasm? Probably. He's still not entirely recovered from their last conversation]

[ninjainviolet]

[Celsius' eyes narrow at the comment. She's got more than a snowball she can throw.

Sheena's voice comes over the journal, but it's directed to the Spirit.]

It's okay, Celsius. I deserved that. Come on back.

[Sadly.]

I'll leave you alone, Once-ler. I promise.

In person!

[radiantwingedone]

[ Duke is confused - There is some sort of magic playing with the cold weather outside, and while he's not particularly interested in going out to find out himself, ...

Magic.

And the roof would give him enough space to be able to more or less track the movement of whatever it is around the castle.

It seems vaguely familiar, the big-bundle-of-mana, and Duke has bundled himself enough that.. he probably could be out here for an hour or so before feeling like an icecube. That should be long enough to figure out why it feels vaguely familiar. ]

Whoo hoo!

[ninjainviolet]

[Sheena's head tilts in confusion when she first spots him as she tries to figure out what he's doing. When she finally sees that his movements are matching the Spirit's, she draws back in awe since Celsius can move pretty fast if she wants.

Letting the Spirit continue her playing, Sheena calls over to the man.]

Duke! I'm over here!

[radiantwingedone]

...? [ Sheena he completely missed that someone else was up on the roof- so it takes him a minute to place the voice, and then he turns to carefully walk a little closer. ]

The... ice-mana, is similar to ... the 'Volt'...? [ Because her voice actually made it a bit clearer where he'd felt something similar before. ]

[ninjainviolet]

[Seeing his expression, Sheena speaks up once more to give him a better idea where she is.]

Yep, it's me. And you're right. This is Celsius, the Spirit of Ice; she's from the same planet as Volt.

Dictated

[tapshoetomove]

[Luke doesn't see Sheena, but he will run towards Celsius and attempt to talk to her. His voice can be heard over the journal that's tucked away in his coat.]

That's amazing! How are you doing that?

Action (Celsius & Sheena)

[ninjainviolet]

[Sheena looks on with a small smile as the Spirit slows to a stop and approaches the boy.]

I am Celsius, the disciple of everlasting ice. That which is frozen is my domain.

[Sheena's shaking her head and smiling at how serious the Spirit is.]

Action (Celsius & Sheena)

[tapshoetomove]

Wow...

It's nice to meet you, miss Celsius!

Action (Celsius & Sheena)

[rose_of_battle]

It...is nice to meet you, too.

[Sheena starts laughing at the look on Celsius' face. Guess the Spirit isn't used to that sort of thing. She decides to give the Summon a break and speaks up herself.]

Hello there! My name's Sheena!

[schrodingersghost]

[The lady with blue skin isn't the only person with ice powers out enjoying the weather. Danny had been outside for hours already, cheerfully doing loop-the-loops in the air and leaving a trail of clumsy ice sculptures in his wake. When he spots the new ice walls and icicles appearing he swoops down and comes in for a closer look.]

[ninjainviolet]

[When Sheena sees the glowing figure approaching Celsius, she stiffens, ready to give the Spirit instructions. Then she realizes that the glow kind of reminds her of ice and Celsius' own appearance as a ball of light, keeping a watchful eye, she settles back, only to pop up once more as she sees something else familiar: his face.]

DANNY?!

[schrodingersghost]

[...Oh, great. He got recognized.]

I can explain?

[ninjainviolet]

[Yes, he did, and she crooks her finger at him in the classic "get over here" gesture.]

What the hell is going on?

[No, she's not angry, just surprised and confused.]

[squartatore]

[all the nutcracker nonsense has instilled in Sayaka a grim determination to avoid it the best she can -- which means staying outdoors, either in town or around the castle grounds.

This, however, is certainly new, and doesn't seem to have anything to do with kissing and such.

She stuffs her hands in her pockets, observing Celsius as she does her thing, taking care not to interrupt until it looks as though she will stop]

[ninjainviolet]

[However, it's not Celsius who addresses her, but her pact-maker. Sheena speaks softly from her spot so she doesn't startle the other girl.]

Hello. Would you like to meet her?

[squartatore]

[at the sound of Sheena's voice, she turns to face her properly]

If it's cool with your friend there. [... ... ...] Pun entirely unintended.

action!

[waterproofed]

[Welp, that's not something one sees every day. Waves to Celsius]

Hey, are you one of Sheena's friends?

Action (Celsius & Sheena)

[ninjainviolet]

[Hearing Sheena's name, Celsius turns at the sound of the voice and floats over to him. Nodding, she answers.]

She is the pact-maker.

[Meanwhile, behind them, Sheena is slapping her hand to her forehead. Why does she have to be so formal?]

[waterproofed]

You guys take this pact stuff really seriously. I'm Percy, by the way. Which one are you?

[madetosin]

[Muraki has come out to the roof to have a smoke, and is just in time to see the summon spirit depart. He walks toward where he'd heard a voice echo a moment ago, searching for it's owner]

[ninjainviolet]

[Aaaaand Sheena sees him before he sees her. She debates over ignoring him, but figures it'll be worse in the long run if she does. So, with narrowed eyes, she greets him. After all, she's pretty well hidden, so he must have been looking for her, right?]

Doctor Muraki.

[madetosin]

[He turns to locate the voice and smiles once he's able to spot her. As usual there's something off about the expression.]

My dear Sheena. How pleasant to see you.
