Winter Wonderland [Event]

[voidtreckermods]

”Good Morning passengers. Today is day Twenty Four of the month of Catfish. You may wish to look out of the window.”

As passengers wake in their beds they will indeed notice something different about the light. If they look out of the window, instead of the ever changing void they will see white slopes of mountains, flakes of snow alling down around them and frost covered trees zipping past the windows. If they glance at the ICP on the table they will see a message.

Investigating the dressing cart they will find the drawers and cupboards unlocked once again. However, instead of the fantasy-esque clothing of world #25768 they will find thick winter coats, hats, gloves and scarves. There are heavy fur lined boots and even some ice skates.

Entering the garden carriage they will see that the glass dome of the roof has opened, leaving the carriage exposed to a bright blue sky. Any nonsense of the past few weeks has vanished, leaving the carriage pristine. Not that that is easy to notice as it is covered in a thick layer of snow. The paths are clearer, a light dusting of snow but easy to talk through. Around the paths the drifts are high, perfect for snowman building or a snowball fight.

The streams and the pond in the centre are solid ice. Anyone brave enough to try to find the ice holds their weight for ice skating.

And the ICP message was correct. There is hot chocolate in the stores.

Lan Wangji is a freezing mess from being pelted with snowballs. It was an engaging battle out in the field. But it was fun, and so the victory is for everyone.

Seeing the tray of hot chocolate, he takes one mug while it's hot. "Thank you. You made it?"

[kumoko]

'Nope!' comes the cheery flicker of silk. 'That's why it's good.'

Seriously, if she'd made this it would be all lumpy and probably bitter? Who knows how to make hot chocolate? Not her, that's for sure! Who knows how to get tall, stern-looking elves with thumbs to make you hot chocolate? Definitely this spider! It's easier when they're avoiding their beautiful, very cool wife, or whatever Feanor's doing in the kitchen. She didn't ask.

Infused with the snow-day spirit, she generously adds,

'Take another mug for Red Ribbon.'

[inquiryguqin]

Lan Wangji takes a sip from the mug. Chocolate is something he never tried before. It was never invented back home. So chocolate, he discovered is a divine sweet.

"Indeed, it's really good." He said, beaming with delight. Taking an extra mug, one for him, and one for Wei Ying. "Hm? Red ribbon? Oh you mean Wei Ying? I will."

[kumoko]

Ah, Wei Ying! Okay, that's a name. She won't remember it, but sure. Congrats on him and his red-black whatever. Once he's taken the other mugs, she brings out another premade sentence.

'I'm going, see you around!'
