What's cooler than being cool?

[paradisamods]

Welcome to the coolest hotel this side of the continent!

But wait, you woke up in your own bed. It's colder--a lot colder--but isn't this still Paradisa?

At 11am, things around the castle seem very different. For one, everything has been turned to ice. Appliances, furniture... it looks like Jack Frost was working overtime the past few days.

The ghosts are nowhere to be found. In their place, dozens of busy, bustling penguins in maid and bellhop uniforms are scurrying about to keep their castle-turned-ice hotel in tip top shape. They'll be more than happy to fill anyone's needs.

Keeping everything running smoothly is a large, dignified polar bear in a nice suit. He'll be your hotel management this week, just in case the penguins get a little out of order.

Sure it's a little cold, much like everything else in the hotel, but that's just part of the charm.

(OOC: Use this as a catch-all post for all your plot-flavored reactions! You're more than welcome to make your own sub-threads as well for different parts of the castle. The icy effect stretches for miles past the town, and snow continues on just past the Dead Zone.

Feel free to give any of the rooms, businesses or houses the same icy touch that the castle has given itself!)

It should be fun to research, though!

[heliotroping]

Yeah... Although I don't know where to start...

[cyan_maid]

Where else would anyone start but the library?

[heliotroping]

I meant what subject!

[cyan_maid]

Probably geography! Or meteorology? Or astronomy, even.

[heliotroping]

Alright. Hopefully there's only one book.

[cyan_maid]

It would probably be best to stick with ones that deal with the cold. These lights weren't around in the warmer weather, after all.

[heliotroping]

Right. And it's not just the snow. Almost every year there's snow here, and that's the first that light's shown up.

[cyan_maid]

But it's especially cold now! So the lights probably only appear in especially cold places!

[heliotroping]

Like.. places where penguins appear?

[cyan_maid]

Yes, like the arctic-

[Wow it finally clicks in her head. Took you long enough honey!]

Oh! Oh wait, I know what these are called! They are Northern Lights!

[heliotroping]

The Northern Lights, huh? It is something special...

[cyan_maid]

Well yes! But we have had a name to go on after all!

[heliotroping]

Do you want to look it up now or keep watching it?

[cyan_maid]

Let's watch it for a little more. These can't stay forever, but the information will always be in the library.

[heliotroping]

[He nods in acknowledgement.

Back to freezing their butts off staring at the pretty lights!]

[cyan_maid]

[It's worth it for the view!]
