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.

Maybe actually good in Inigo's case, considering the harshest 'no' usually just.. makes him cry. But he can't admit that in front of this guy book!

"S.. Surely it can't be that easy! You make it sound as if that's no effort at all!"

"It isn't if you think you're worth a damn thing. Oh, I get it!" The book perked up, then smiled wickedly. "You're constantly overcompensating by dumping tons of flattery and praise on chicks because you think you've got nothing to offer and have to oversell yourself that way!"

[flatteries]

Zetta, please! You can't go in on his weakest spot that hard! What are you, a therapist from the school of hard knocks?!

Inigo's face is turning so red that it may just start to turn his hair purple as well at this point. "T.. That's not true! What kind of ridiculous scenarios are you making up?!"

[badassfreakingoverlord]

"Scenarios can be ridiculous and true all at once! I mean, look at me, I'm a book."

Nothing could be more ridiculous than that!

[flatteries]

"Your physical appearance and my behaviour are two different things entirely!"

Are they really, Inigo? Because they both have to do with things not quite being as they first seem..

"I-- I am a warrior! I've slain countless bandits by myself! Why should I ever feel like I have nothing to offer?"

[badassfreakingoverlord]

"Yeah. Good question." Zetta fixed the kid with a firm look. "Why SHOULD you?"

[flatteries]

"I shouldn't!"

.. There's a small pause, where he suddenly seems to realise he forgot to add something. Which means it arrives comically late.

"Which is why I don't, obviously! I don't feel like that! I have never experienced a single moment of that feeling in my entire life..!"

[badassfreakingoverlord]

"You haven't, huh?" Zetta said, merrily handing the kid more rope for him to hang himself.
