Winter Wonderland [Event]

”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.

Despite himself, Fingon's mouth twitches into a small smile at Kaito's confidence.

"Is it, now?" he can't help but ask. "And how would you go about doing so?"

A grin and a pack of cards appears in his hands, Kaito starting one of his playful, elaborate, physically improbable shuffles.

"Well. Wanna see a card trick? And then you can try and work out how I did it~!"

One eyebrow rises at the question.

"Very well," he nods. "Go ahead."

"An easy one to start, and we can rack up the difficulty, if its too obvious."

He grins, fanning the deck out to show Fingon that it's a normal set of cards.

"Okay, here we go." He shuffles into a neat pile, and the pulls out the top three cardss in a fan, without looking.

"Pick a card - one", he points to the one on the right, "two" the middle "or three" the last one.

Fingon's eyes flicker between the backs of the cards and Kaito's averted face.

"Alright," he agrees, then takes the third card. He turns it over, only to find the card has a design he doesn't recognize.

Not so much of a surprise, now that he thinks of it. Different worlds must have different games.

"Ok, memorise it, and then put it back."

He instructs, and once Fingon does, he shuffles and then flips the top card over.

"Is this your card?" It is, of course.

That it is, and Fingon nods in confirmation. Now to figure out how it was done....

"Card counting?" he asks. "Or did you remove the card from the pile?"

"Closer with the first guess than the second!" He grins. "It does involve counting, but it's not QUITE that simple."
