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.]

Ah, yes. You will need food and we could do with some firewood, right?

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

It's cold here, yes.

... ... [wonders if they could heat the water...]

[isntthatsad.livejournal.com]

Sorry... I guess I don't notice that kind of thing.

That would make me more suited to go outside, though.

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

I could assume spirit form as I go out. [Nero didn't really like spirit form that much, actually, being something of an attention whore, but, well, blizzard.]

[isntthatsad.livejournal.com]

Will that protect you from the elements?

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

I'll be intangible. [So yes]

[isntthatsad.livejournal.com]

We should probably head out now. If we wait it may just get worse outside.

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

I'll be near. [She disappears]

[isntthatsad.livejournal.com]

*Satsuki nods and heads out.

It's as she said. The cold does not seem to affect her all that much. The snow does slow her down but with her superhuman speed it slows her down to a normal walking pace. It's more like she's a human walking about on a sunny day instead of a vampire walking through a blizzard.

Slowly she'll find and gather firewood. Obviously it is damp and will smoke when burnt but it should still provide warmth. She also manages to find some nuts and berries but nothing substantial.*

[Follows along silently. Nero feels perfectly natural letting other people work for her, of course.]

[isntthatsad.livejournal.com]

*After she's gathered enough food and wood she'll head back inside. She's managed to avoid the baddies this time.*

How does this look?

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

It's not ideal, but what is right now? [She goes straight to trying to start a fire with her flint]

[isntthatsad.livejournal.com]

You're right... Sorry I couldn't find anything better.

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

There wasn't anything better. If there was, I'd have found it myself.

[isntthatsad.livejournal.com]

Yes! Of course! Sorry!

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

Don't be such a pitiful creature. Practice some composure.

[She manages to light it, and starts stoking the flames into growing.]

[isntthatsad.livejournal.com]

Y-Yes, of course...

*But that doesn't help her much. You've kind of scared Sacchin, Nero.*

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

[Quit being such a pansy, you're a vampire!]

[This look forever, Sacchin.]

[Starts to nom on gathered foods.]

[isntthatsad.livejournal.com]

*Sob just gonna be shy and get into my corner.

Isn't it sad.*

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

Stay near the fire so that when we sleep you'll be warmer this time.

[isntthatsad.livejournal.com]

Alright...

*She doesn't see much point in it but Sacchin will still join Nero by the fire. Also her socks and shoes are soaked from being out in the snow.*

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

[Starts taking those soaked shoes and socks off of her so that they won't interfere with the warming process.]

While it's good to know one's place, aren't you a bit overly docile? Passive? Where is your pride?

[isntthatsad.livejournal.com]

*She's a bit embarrassed that someone is taking off her shoes and socks for her but she won't object.*

I think I have a bit of that when it's necessary... We're friends so there's no need to assert myself here.

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

Pride is a good thing to display, but perhaps you are more of the background flower sort.

[isntthatsad.livejournal.com]

Background flower? What's that mean?

*Wiggling her toes! The fire is warming them up bit by bit and it feels nice to be by something warm.*
