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.

"Yes." She nodded and then he had set off so she had to catch up. Her legs were still a bit wobbly but she found that if she moved her body around as well as her legs. She followed him, though corners were a bit difficult and she wasn't sure how she was going to stop when the time came.

It was fun though, like roof running. But different. It still gave her the same feeling, that she might fall any time but the only way to not fall was to keep going and keep the momentum. She grinned as she skated, laughing slightly as she sped up.

Want to wrap this one, and let these two skate all morning?

Curufin didn't skate as fast as he could, since he wanted to give Little One time to become used to this peculiar and delightful way of traveling across that odd element, ice. She increased her speed as they circled around the edges of the pond, and so he increased his velocity by just a little, except when they were cornering.

He was delighted when she laughed. Obviously, she was having fun. They could skate like this all day, or as long as she wanted to, so far as he was concerned.

Sounds good!

She would happily skate all day, or at least until her legs gave up. She chased Curufin around the ice, doing her best to match his speed. Though she fell a couple of times she remembered the way of getting up again that he showed her and she was soon back to skating, grinning the whole time.
