[The mirror opens up to Sol trudging through the snow, hands shoved in her pockets. For those that were (un?)fortunate enough to catch her while she was wildcarded, she appears to be back in her typical mood now — that is to say really, really grouchy.]

[Even more so than normal, actually. On top of everything else, the presence of even more snow irritates her. It gets in the way, and she can't think of a damn thing it's actually good for. Between this and the wildcard incident, she's in a bad enough mood now that she feels a fleeting impulse to kick it, if only because she thinks she's alone and there would be no one around to see her do so. She realizes that this won't do any good long before she makes any motion to do so, though, even if she does stomp down on it a little harder than necessary as she walks.]

[Ultimately, it doesn't take her long to notice the Vine has been tracking her progress. She scowls at that. Her lips purse together for a second, and then she declares:]

Queen's got a real shitty sense of humor.

[ ooc: Feel free to catch in person as well as respond over the Vine! ]

...

You look like you need a hug.

[dragoninstalled]

[Dammit, Dizzy. If she were anyone else, she'd snap at her, but she doesn't especially want to take this out on her. Still, she folds her arm and scoffs.]

Don't think that'll help much.

[imperial_ray]

It might help a little...

[dragoninstalled]

It won't.

[Her voice is sterner than perhaps even she meant it to be, but she isn't in the mood for this.]

[imperial_ray]

-That... made her visibly flinch.-

[dragoninstalled]

[...Shit. She looks away, immediately feeling guilty.]

Not in the mood now.

[The response is mumbled.]

[action!]

[reverentresistance]

[Oh. Good. Sol looks back to normal. But Ky still doesn't know what was wrong with her in the first place.]

Sol?

[dragoninstalled]

[Ky is pretty much the last person Sol wants to see right now, so she doesn't give any outward indication she heard her voice beyond maybe gritting her teeth a little harder as she continues to trudge through the snow.]

[reverentresistance]

[Sol really worried Ky while she was acting all weird now, and Ky doesn't give up easily.]

Are you feeling... worse now?

[dragoninstalled]

[Realizing that Ky is not going to be deterred so easily, Sol does the rational thing.]

[She whirls around and tries to punch her.]

[reverentresistance]

[That is definitely a punch headed towards her, so Ky does the sensible thing and raises a hand to try to block it.]

I see that the answer's yes. I'll leave you to it, then, if you wish.

[dragoninstalled]

[Sol doesn't try again, even if she feels weirdly unsatisfied with just that. She folds her arms over her chest.]

Hn.

[Normally, she would take that opportunity in a heartbeat, but—]

You realize I wasn't myself, yeah?

[She has to make sure, okay.]

before the dress fiasco...

[spacejumping]

I agree.

[dragoninstalled]

[Well, shit. She isn't entirely sure how to deal with someone who met her while she was not herself. Ultimately, she decides to just not bring it up unless questioned.]

Like there hasn't been enough of this.

[spacejumping]

Not enough for her, it looks like.

[dragoninstalled]

Hn. Guess so.

[Grump grump grump.]

[spacejumping]

Are you going to be alright?

[dragoninstalled]

As alright as you can in this place.

[cleaningstop]

What happened?

[nope. doesn't realize it.]

[dragoninstalled]

The snow.

[Among other things, but. She won't talk about that unless asked.]

[cleaningstop]

Oh... Yes, I feel the same way! I really thought that we'd finally be able to welcome the new season.

[dragoninstalled]

And it's a real pain in the ass to walk through.

[cleaningstop]

I don't suppose you could just fly over it?

action because always

[loveloveattack]

HEEEY!

[ Excellen sees Sol and recognizes the GLOOMY FRUMPINESS has returned. So, of course, this means she makes beeline for her! ]

You're back to your old stick-in-the-bud self!

[dragoninstalled]

[Woah wait what. This is sudden and also awkward.]

[But never mind that. Sol might not be sure how to handle this situation, but she can still play it cool. Or play it grouchy and unsociable, but whatever, that's close enough.]

...Yeah.

[Because, really, what else is there to say to that?]
