104.9 - life in a northern town

[hard_talker]

[at ten sharp, "Everybody Knows" starts playing over the airwaves ... but Harry's normal theme song doesn't get far in before it's interrupted by the sound of cracking ice, and whistling wind. someone's getting more and more creative with his sound board]

WHOA! You hear that, folks? Even the music's too cold to come out and play today -- Jesus, Paradisa, give a guy a break! ... Hi, there, out there in icicle land. This is Hard Harry, comin' at you with a little somethin' to heat up your evenin' - least, as best I can, all things considered.

To our handful of newbsicles this week, Clementine, Gokudera, and Cronus? Sorry for the chilly reception. And before the rest of you all start groaning at me like snow zombies? Come on, like you could've left that alone.

If all this ice actually inspires you t' do something with yourselves other than huddle around in blankets turning your jawbones into castanets, we've got somebody givin' ice skating lessons this Saturday. For the rest of you, I'm looking for the top ten ways to keep warm - and yes, we already know The Big One. I wanna see you guys get creative. Gimme your favorite stupid human tricks, your best magic spells, some crazy thing your great-great grandpa did when they hadn't heard of electric space heaters, a gadget you made outta crap from the game room.

And in the meantime, if you're lookin' for a way to keep warm? Here's a little set list to get you up and moving and your blood pumping and your heart jumping. 'Till next time, folks. Stay frosty.

[and on with the show! enjoy, Paradisa... management is not responsible for the cheesiness of some of these selections]

Hoo hoo hoo! This is a riot, you've outdone yourself this time!!

[Looks like someone appreciates your cool puns!]

[peeta_bread]

...What's 'The Big One?'

[the_effect_she_has]

[There's a quiet snort as Katniss is moving across the ice, careful as the cat she is nicknamed after.]

Practicing hunting across the ice.

[hard_talker]

Hey, thanks, Jane! Glad you think it's cool. [hurr hurr!]

[silentrunning]

[Chell's amusing herself. She doesn't know how to skate, per se, but she's balancing on her toes, and attempting to slide up and down the castle halls. She's got her journal open in her hand... and she's giggling very softly.

She's not falling, her boots will keep her from that. But as for skittering around, and occasionally hitting people's doors and the like? Yup. She's doing that, and listening to the music.]

[OOC: Yaaay cheese!]

[hard_talker]

I'll give you a hint. It involves birds ... and some kind of insect.

[hard_talker]

What would you even hunt out there this time of year? Snowmen?

[hard_talker]

... I know you're out there. I can hear you giggling.

[the_effect_she_has]

Bears. Ones that don't belong to someone else.

[silentrunning]

[She's definitely out there. She may be actually on your floor, in the hallway outside...But she whispers back a message.]

"Skittering around on this ice in my boots is amusing."

[hard_talker]

Uh. Katniss. ... You're aware that bears are kind of fucking huge and scary, right?

[peeta_bread]

[Long pause.] ...Oh.

My favorite way to stay warm is cuddling. [Yes. Cuddling. It is the best.]

[hard_talker]

Heh heh heh. You should get yourself some real ice skates, then it's easier to stop when you want, and stuff.

[hard_talker]

Yeah, exactly. Oh, indeed. [Mark you gigantic troll, stop making Peeta feel awkward]

[peeta_bread]

[asfkjl poor Peeta. Clears his throat.]

Um... well... that's kind of not an option for some us.

[Because Katniss is the most oblivious.]

[the_effect_she_has]

[There is a pause, before Katniss snorts softly.]

And what am I, Mark?

[silentrunning]

[Oh god you have created a monster.... again....]

"If you describe them for me, I will wish up a pair. I never saw ice skates before. Or ice to skate on for that matter. Or snow until this morning..."

[willrememberthat]

[SNOW ZOMBIES...]

Do you have Christmas music?

[cyan_maid]

[There you go with those puns again, she will spend her whole night laughing.]

It's snow joke when I say that they are the cleverest puns I have ever laid ice on!

[Oh wow she's bad at it, but she's enjoying being bad at it.]

[hard_talker]

Hey, hey, take it freezy. You use up all the good ones, everyone else is gonna be out in the cold.

[hard_talker]

Well, I definitely wouldn't want to piss you off. Don't get me wrong.

[he just worries, is what he is trying to say. he does not want to see his friend turned into bear chow]

[hard_talker]

Yeah, sure I do. I'm savin' the good ones for next week. Don't want people runnin' me outta town for playin' it too early.

[cyan_maid]

Oh, icy! Surely Jack Frost will have my head if I keep taking his material!

Hoo, but seriously, I'll reign them in for now. And it is far too cold, even for December! I wonder how the northern lights even got here...

[kungfuwitch]

I don't know about my top ten since where I come from I don't have to worry about that but I could tell you my bottom ten...

[the_effect_she_has]

[She lets out another sigh, but this one is more ... affectionately exasperated.]

I wouldn't worry - I am after all, only practicing. And the only bears that seem to be around here are pets so ...just need to do something with all this snow. Seemed like a good time to get some training in.
