 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.

Who're you, [ she slurs, because enunciation is for not-cold people. ]
no subject
(he says, as if he has a leg to stand on) ]
Joshua.
I can get a fire going if you give me a minute.
[ She looks like she would benefit from a fire. ]
no subject
at least now she shifts her head enough to keep her eyes on him. there is frost on every piece of her.
in the end she wearily flaps a hand at him, and then realizing that might not translate: ]
Please.
[ at least it was polite? ]
no subject
It takes some effort, but after some prolonged encouragement via fire spell, he gets the pile going. ]
How far out did you go? If you could even tell.
[ Which, given the lack of landmarks in all that nothing, is admittedly questionable. ]
no subject
Only after a minute or so to start defrosting does she look up at him in an actually focused way, blinking once or twice. ]
Pretty far. I have ways of making sure I didn't get lost. It's pretty much just like the town. No matter how far you go, the wasteland never seems to end. We are thoroughly trapped here.
no subject
[ Which means a realignment of priorities is in order, he thinks. Escape efforts being useless, they'd better be prepared to stay the duration. ]
There's food, at least. The cold is going to be the main threat.
no subject
[ Slowly, Vriska will sit up, folding her skinny limbs in front of her body to keep them closer to the fire. ]
Finding everyone will also be a challenge. I was thinking about it while I was out there. This backwards, primitive hellhole doesn't enable us to find each other easily. There's a risk someone could get lost in a palace of this size and the rest of us wouldn't know it.
