let it SNOW.

[So much for the necessities. So much for the orchard. So much for all the lovely places that have been created here--

--the only thing visible this morning is a thick coat of snow, white everywhere, broken up only by ominous shadows and lights.

Aren't you lucky to be inside? Inside a plain little stone house, with a sleeping bag and at least one other person. There's a bathroom, but it's not very good at giving you hot water. Everything's cold.

And outside, the wind howls...]

[OOC: As of 7:18 EST this morning (yeah, we're late), the solstice event has begun. Refer to these three posts for more information! You are welcome to either create action posts or logs of your own or use this post to play things out.]

Nero and Satsuki

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

[Little known fact: Nero just clung to whatever was next to her in bed. For cuddles. Pillows, people. In this case, Satsuki. She shook her head as she started to wake up, nuzzling a shoudler--]

[That's strange, she wasn't sleeping with anyone--]

[The body... it's cold as the dead--]

[Nero abruptly sat up in the sleeping bag, which had the rather awkward effect of shifting Satsuki with her. Where were they!? Why is there a corpse in a body bag with her!?]

*Even though Satsuki was a pretty heavy sleeper it's hard to stay awake when her sleeping bag buddy just sat up. Slowly, the so called corpse rubbed her eyes and let out a yawn before she noticed Nero. But once she had Satsuki will somehow get from the sleeping bag to the corner of the room in a split second. She'll just be over there huddled up with her head to the wall.*

I'm very sorry! I didn't mean to invade your personal space!

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

You're alright?

[She takes a deep breath] I thought you a corpse!

[isntthatsad.livejournal.com]

Of course I'm not! I-I just w-woke up next to...

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

[Yeah she's more bothered by not knowing how she got here and in bed with you than she is by the act of having been in bed with you]

[She quickly steels herself, appearing to regain composure]

You're fast. What manner of being are you?

[She can tell she's not a servant]

[isntthatsad.livejournal.com]

Ah, um... just a normal girl, that's all.

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

Don't lie to me!

Is this your doing? Why have you taken me to this drab hovel?

[isntthatsad.livejournal.com]

No, I wouldn't do anything like that! Maybe I was lying before but I wouldn't have anything to gain from being stuck out here with you, right?

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

I will give you the benefit of the doubt if you speak honestly.

[isntthatsad.livejournal.com]

*Bravely, Satsuki turns around to face Nero. But she's not coming out of that corner, nope.*

Well you promise not to tell anyone?

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

[Nero may or may not have poisoned people. Her word is suspect.] On my mother's grave.

[She executed her mother for being a traitor, but.. she did like her.]

[isntthatsad.livejournal.com]

... Hm, well... I'd be easy to understand if I told you that I'm a vampire, right?

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

No. What is that?

[isntthatsad.livejournal.com]

A vampire is someone that lives off of blood instead of food like normal people...

Ah, but I won't drink your blood or anything. I've already fed this week so I don't need any...

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

So you're some kind of mosquito in human form...

[isntthatsad.livejournal.com]

That's an interesting way to put it... It makes me feel kind of bad.

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

... I won't apologize. I spoke my mind and nothing more.

[isntthatsad.livejournal.com]

Yes, of course. Well it's as I've said. You have nothing to worry about.

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

Well. [Looking out the window.]

We need to determine a plan.

[isntthatsad.livejournal.com]

The cold won't bother me... but the snowfall itself might slow me down.

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

I don't know how we got here, but the weather changes from region to region in this land... we just have to get to the edge of this one.

[isntthatsad.livejournal.com]

That's pretty dangerous considering we don't really know how big this region is.

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

I have yet to see a single dangerous thing in this land.

[isntthatsad.livejournal.com]

... I-Isn't sticking us out here like this a hostile action?

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

I said nothing was dangerous. Know the distinction.
