 t's very, very cold. It's cold enough that you'll see your breath fog in the air before you, that goosebumps appear on your arms and legs and a chill goes up your spine. You're inside, in a huge palace with sweeping arches and rooms, but it's no real shelter from the cold -- it's just as cold inside as out.
There's a throne room, a kitchen, various rooms and even a dungeon to be explored -- and outside, a frigid, frozen garden, a lake that's naturally frozen over, and miles, and miles of snow as far as the eye can see.
But be careful while you explore. The snowflake soldiers are naturally dangerous, but even more dangerous than that...there's that creeping sensation of numbness going up your arm, a pang through your chest, and the slow, slow freezing from the inside out.
Try not to leave any of your friends behind, okay? Even if they might look a bit too uncannily like some of the statues hanging around for decoration when they're frozen over.

A-Are you okay?

I'm fine. Everything's fine. [Well, it hurts but she's pretty sure nothing is too jostled.]

Well, she's standing there with her legs shaky like Bambi vs the Lake, but it's progress. ]

What kind of person makes the floor out of ice? And they didn't give us any ice skates either. How do those knights even walk on this stuff, huh?

Let's just find some place to sit down. Okay? I'll light a fire and we can just hang out and wait for someone to show up and make us dinner or something.
[With that in mind, Shiho starts to (awkwardly) slide towards the nearest door, arms occasionally letting go and flailing a bit to keep them upright.]
no subject
Well, it's a bedroom. But more importantly, no one else is in it. ]
no subject
But this isn't her home, they were kidnapped here and honestly? Whoever owns this place deserves to get their furniture smashed up and used to stir soup.
With a bright smile and one precautionary hand on the door, she ushers Kisa in first, steering her towards the bed.]
There. You can sit here.
no subject
Not that Kisa is aware of any of Shiho's less charitable thoughts, so she'll just plop down on the edge of the bed and keep a concerned eye on her companion. What about her? ]
no subject
I guess we should build a barricade, right? And then I'm breaking some of this stuff.
no subject
The look Kisa shoots Shiho is both wide-eyed and worried. Is that going to call down the wrath of those weird knight things if Shiho goes around snapping furniture in half? ]
no subject
If we build a barricade then we can just let in people who aren't those weird knights. And if they show up, we'll-
[A snow knight clanks past the door, turns and looks right at them.]
no subject
[ Um. UM.
She turns to look at Shiho, like.
What are we going to do here, Captain? ]
no subject
M-Maybe it didn't see us?
[Except it's pounding on the door now.]
no subject
And Kisa is looking around, before she points to the bed-- precisely, under it. What if they slide under there? Sir Knight looks like he'd have trouble fitting. ]
no subject
[Shiho shoves an ice chair against the door first before diving in after her. Thank goodness for blankets and icy floors?? Hopefully they don't get stuck down there.
But at least they're both short enough to fit. It's also a good place to plan a counter-attack, she thinks.]
no subject
Kisa couldn't begin to guess, but she's pressing close to Shiho, holding her breath as the knight finally gets the door open (RIP, chair) and stomps in to look around for them. ]
no subject
Or she could choose to be proactive and ensure everything was going to be fine. Her eyes narrow as the knight walks by the bed, seemingly confused.
And of course, she has her gun with her. Thank goodness for being unable to sleep without cuddling up to a weapon.
Another step, and it is in front of the bed, turning away. It's about to leave, but Shiho isn't going to take a chance on this so she shoots, wires wrapping around both its ankles and down it goes.]
no subject
Okay. So Shiho is kind of incredibly badass. ]
no subject
....Ready to get out of here? We'll find another safer place. Or we'll go outside. Someone named Jion has a snow fort outside. It'll be safe for you there.
