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.

Hmm--she could still make out the presence but it was harder. So they could hide themselves; that narrowed down who it might be. Raven smirked to herself under her cowl, keeping a shield handy and letting herself levitate to get a better view.

Murmuring "Azarath Metrion Zinthos" softly to herself and gesturing with one of her hands, several snowballs formed and encased in dark-energy levitated near her. "Do you really want to do this the hard way?"

[faithfulson]

Oh ho... this was going to be a challenge. Luke spared himself a grin, before closing his eyes, reaching out to the Force, and wrapping it around several snowballs and lifting them up all around the area, careful not to betray his location.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

Raven tried to run through the passengers she knew of on the train who would be capable of levitating snowballs like she did. Sadly she really didn't know as many of them she could eliminate or confirm as she'd like. Keeping herself alert and ready to dodge or strike out with her own snowballs.

"I guess we're doing this then."

[faithfulson]

Luke carefully peeked around from where he was hiding, biting his lip in just barely controlled excitement. Was this a bad idea? Almost assuredly. Did he really care at the moment? Not really; once the inevitable bruises healed, he was going to look back on this fondly; he knew it already.

He took a deep breath, sinking his focus into the Force, and the snowballs moved accordingly, zipping after Raven's bright presence.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

Dealing with an Empath meant that brief moment of excitement--even if it was controlled--stood out. Especially as Raven was looking for any hint that might reveal the other person. Her snowballs are flying Luke's way, thanks to dark energy, while she's busy turning to look.

Of course, almost immediately Raven is then also busy trying to dodge Luke's own onslaught of snowballs.

[faithfulson]

Luke bit back the urge to swear, ducking behind a tree, though not fast enough to avoid the spray of a snowball that hit it. He clamped down on his emotions as he skidded around a snow bank, ducking down as he called on the Force, discreetly rolling up a few more snowballs for ammo.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

Oh very good! Raven didn't smile, but she was amused all the same. Not quite agile enough to dodge his own snowballs, and with him tamping down his emotions it was harder to place him away from others.

Raven half-dived behind another snowbank, and used her powers to make that snowbank even more solid and good cover. Ready, in case more fire came immediately. She might also be rolling up more snowballs of her own.
