Event Fourteen.

[awashmods]

Roses bloom and cease to be, But we shall the Christ-child see.

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.

[Amusedly:]

It could play Christmas movie reruns.

[queenofminiskirts]

But only the good ones!

[...isn't she being too picky now?]

[messianic]

... I don't know if we're in a position to be picky, Kaoru-san.

[YEAH--]

[queenofminiskirts]

You can't concede an inch! It's the only way to negotiate with criminals! [Firstly. wut. secondly, since when did Mr. F go from being a shut in to a criminal!?]

[messianic]

...What criminal are we negotiating with, again?

[Not that he disagrees, Kaoru, but also.

What?]

[queenofminiskirts]

Mr. F, obviously! Charged with probably a hundred counts of kidnapping, endangerment of minors and stalking!

[messianic]

... Ah. Well.

[WELL...]

You know, that's totally fair.

[He can't even argue that at all.]

[queenofminiskirts]

[Because she's right.]

I bet we could add animal cruelty to his list of crimes! [What else...?] Harassment! Um. Reckless driving!

[messianic]

[...Well. May as well roll with it.]

Cruel and unusual punishments. Cyberbullying. Um, jaywalking...?

[queenofminiskirts]

[She nods because all those sound reasonable to her!]

I bet we can pin even more crimes on him! Do we have any lawyers here who can help?

[messianic]

... That's a great question. I actually have no idea what everyone's profession is here.

[It's kind of weird to think about.]

[queenofminiskirts]

We can ask on the forum! And if no one can do it we can ask Shiho.

[Because Shiho can do anything.]

[messianic]

[Minato believes that, so it seems legit to him.]

Sure, why not...? That sounds like a good plan to me.

[Either way--]

For now, let's keep moving. We have to survive this mess first so we can get back to the forum.

[queenofminiskirts]

Yeah. And Shiho will be mad if we just stay here and wait for the snow knights to come back.

[messianic]

[... Huh.]

You think so?

[queenofminiskirts]

Yeah. Especially if we left her out.

[messianic]

[Oh.

Yeah.

Solemnly:]

I would definitely never leave Shiho-chan out of anything. that sounds like a bad idea.

[queenofminiskirts]

I definitely wouldn't recommend it.

[messianic]

I'll take your word for it. You're the expert, after all.
