A Visit from the Magical Snow Fairy

[whyarewehere]

This comm has been quiet for TOO LONG.

The ship is now full of snow. Seriously. It's in the hallways. It's in your bedroom. It's all over the mess hall, the sensoriums, and of course the city. How did it get here? WHO KNOWS! It's just everywhere snow should be and then a whole lot more.

NOW DEAL WITH IT!

(Meme is, as usual, open to literally anybody. Ever.)

Meanwhile, in Engineering...

[morphitudinous]

"Our computers are full of snow. Our inventions are full of snow. The gears are frozen and liquid's ruined just about everything else. What a perfect day."

Billy was not a happy camper. He was sloshing through the snow-covered laboratory in dismay, taking note of all the things that couldn't be salvaged. What an expensive loss this was.

"...I guess now would be a bad time to tell you 'keep a cool head', wouldn't it?" There's a half-hearted grin on Tommy's face as he says this, though.

Goliath hasn't played in snow (much) since he was young enough not to be required to be doing guard duty.

Thus, his guard is down.

[puny-parker.livejournal.com]

A snowball is flying straight towards you head Goliath...

[newyorkbynight.livejournal.com]

[Elisa was armed with a mischievous smile and an ample supply of snowballs when she crept across the battlements towards Goliath.

She had an excellent aim and, when she threw the first snowball, she didn't miss.]

This is not going to stop Grif from getting breakfast. Did anyone really think it would? He's shoved an entire table clear of snow and is sitting stubbornly on the bench, eating mess hall slime like a pro. There are other open, snowless spaces at the table so perhaps somebody else could take advantage of that instead of having to clear their own.

"Don't you do anything but eat that crap?" Church is not happy with the snow, bad memories.

[atadiscoverer]

And that's what Carson is doing. He takes a seat with a tray and some notes in his hand and just sits there.

Reading.

What do, Grif?

[halfa-hero.livejournal.com]

And then Danny dumped snow down his back.

[atadiscoverer]

"It's snowing..." Carson is walking down the corridors, staring up at the cieling.

"...Why is it snowing?"

"It does this in the cold season. But usually not here," says a wolf. Well, a werewolf. But there's no real sign that this is anything but an animal that just happens to talk. Whatever the case, she seems completely at peace with this.

Aside from all the fun things one can do with snow, one can also use snow for meditative purposes.

Nima is using her staff to draw a labyrinth on an undisturbed patch. The labyrinth is growing quite large.

[warriorraceguy.livejournal.com]

N'tho is from a warm planet, and he hates snow. He hates winter in general, and the best way he's found to keep warm is to keep moving. His impromptu jog has brought him down to the City, and he can't help but notice this odd behavior.

"What are you doing?"

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Kaya, who is totally enjoying this random madness of the ship (how could she not?) notices that Nima is starting to do something with the snow itself. Curious, she walked over, trying not to hop a little in her step.

"What are you up to?"

[withteethbared.livejournal.com]

Snow may be extremely inconvenient for most people on the ship, but Bella is not one of those people. She has four sturdy legs and a pelt that's been built to keep out snow since the dawn of her species.

She is bouncing along the street of the city, leaping in snowdrifts and flopping around on her back in the least dignified manner possible.

Clearly, she is having the time of her life.

[victory-howl.livejournal.com]

A white wolf padded up toward Bella, but was interrupted as one of the trees dislodged its burden, dumping a drift of snow straight onto Ammy. After a moment, she broke free of the drift, shaking herself vigorously and sending snow flying in all directions.

[governorkang]

It was not supposed to snow inside buildings, but somehow the floor of the tavern, and the stage, was covered in it.

At least Kang'd kept the fireplace in. He'd managed to find a good amount of wood from old, abandoned buildings around the City, and stockpiled them a few feet away. He added a few more pieces of wood to the flames, muttering a curse underneath his breath.

[whyarewehere]

Hey Kang.

Hey.

Kang.

SNOWBALL!

Jorge has his helmet on. He doesn't mind spending time with it off, but it's cold, man.

"Whoever thought of snow inside..." He mutters.

[whyarewehere]

"Obviously? One of the AI's," Grif replies, casually turning the remark into a conversation.

"Has anyone ever told you that you are really tall?"

And in the Hangar, from the TARDIS...

[butworthit.livejournal.com]

"Oi, what've they done to you?"

A rather peeved Doctor sprinted from the control room, hopping and sliding over snow drifts to return with a shovel a few minutes later. Finding the thing took longer than usual with all the rearranging others had done, a fact that irritated him even more.

"First they change the theme, then they leave their things all about, and now snow? Snow. In the TARDIS. In my TARDIS. Will wonders never cease? No, don't answer that. That road only leads to misery for all of us."

Hardly comforted by the gentle thrum of his beloved ship, the Doctor slung a shovel over his shoulder and got to work. The usual inhabitants of the place would find themselves moving out of the way of a rather irritated man in a leather jacket. He was determined to toss this mess out that door, shoveling as furiously as his arms would allow.

[has-arrived.livejournal.com]

Out the door, and into the face of an equally irritated red fellow, who sputters and wipes it off with the utmost haste. "WHAT THE HELL?! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE SHOVELIN' THAT CRAP!"

A beat.

"Wait... Why is there snow in the booth?"

[lionesschampion.livejournal.com]

Snow. It was snowing. How was it snowing and why was it suddenly so cold? ... And where was a nice warm coat when she needed one? She hated being cold!

Even being inside hadn't helped given that she'd been inside when all this nonsense started and it had been snowing as hard inside as it was outside. Alanna had finally come outside when she decided that being out and about where she could move around would be better than staying inside. At least she could be busy while she froze.

[theboywhodied]

Cedric was just as baffled. It had to be an enchantment of some sort. Snow was nice, but here? It was completely disrupting his training routine.

He jogged up to Alanna, peeking out from under a hat. "Wild weather, isn't it?"

[hates-deadites.livejournal.com]

Suddenly SNOW! Cold, crisp little white flakes of snow gently drifting down atop Ash's person nearly the moment his hand touched an enticing (read: remotely pornographic) looking title in the media library. One could imagine his immediate groan/whine of displeasure as he held his hands skyward. Or. Meatward.

"Come on Stacy, really? Just when I was about to sit down and watch a movie?" Another movie that was probably as misleading as the last one.

"Why wouldn't you make it rain butter and popcorn instead?"

Ash might of ordinarily had fun with the winter weather in good company, but said good company was long since gone. For now he was going to stomp around and be a big grump, trying to find any place on the ship that wasn't quickly gathering inches of snow... which was quickly proving to be an impossibility.

[killervocab.livejournal.com]

Snow and cold were no big deal - in fact, they were quite welcome to Ginia, as it was something familiar in this strange, strange vessel. Skyrim was quite cold and snowy in parts, many of which she'd spent a reasonable time in during her travels.

However, snow on the inside of a building was definitely quite odd and a cause for question. At least, normally, but she chalked it up to the strangeness of the place.

[prettycoolguy]

"...Huh."

This was... surprising but not necessarily alarming. It was Stacy. John knew Stacy something approaching well by now.

His money was on GLaDOS as he stepped out onto the Obs Deck to survey the "damage".

[noble5.livejournal.com]

There's another SPARTAN out on the deck, staring at the snow. He's been there a while because there's a bit collecting on him.

"What the hell...?"

[snarkingscribe]

Whoa. This was... a lot of snow. Enough that she'd wager there was more here than was in all of Jacobstown. At least it looked kinda nice, for being as weird as it was... Veronica would have bet on the city having simulated weather, if she hadn't woken up surrounded by snow in the bunker.

...

"If this is normal, it's gonna suck if they have rain here..."

[greatergone]

Meanwhile, while fulfilling the Tau'va...

...wait, Kais is a Firewarrior, not a Snow Warrior. At least he knows what the frosty stuff is, despite coming from an arid planet that's mostly warm. But one thumb and three fingers isn't exactly conductive to making large snowballs. Halp.

[noble5.livejournal.com]

That's an odd configuration of armour...

Jorge has only been awake for a bit, something about saving his soul or something... Either way, he's eyeing Kais up from a considerably safe distance.

He might not have his stripped-off tank turret, but a 7'4" Human Supersoldier is still something to be reckoned with!
