second snowflake / action / winter winds

[ Hello, Haven. How's it going? Is it chilly enough for you yet? No? Well, Prima's quadrant won't notice too much of a temperature shift, will they? Nah, not really. Around the edges of the mountain, where structures aren't built in, a nice, empty area lends itself to a small, still rather shy Queen.

So if you're in Prima's quadrant today, yes, that castle on the smaller side is new.

And yes, it's completely made of ice. Will it make the side of the mountain a little cooler? Perhaps. But for now, it's someone's permanent home, away from everyone else in hopes of keeping them...well. From freezing.

She's not adverse to chatting with anyone on the comm today, not like before. But for now? She's figuring out all the lovely details of her home that she didn't have the time for before. ]

[Being that he lives there, the castle is kind of hard not to notice.]

I'm guessing the castle is you?

<small.[And for the record, there's nothing even resembling a lecture in his voice right about now. More than anything he's kind of impressed.]

Yes. It's mine.

[ Aw, someone cares. That's a feeling, a good feeling! ]

See? N----Not so far away as we thought.

[ That goes for her too, cause dang, making trips into the mountain would've been difficult. ]

Glad to hear it.

[You can almost hear the smile. Believe it or not, he does that sometimes, and now, when Elsa doesn't seem to be quite as terrified of all of this, it seems like a justified reaction.]

Gotta say, I'm jealous. Even if it looks like it might be just a little cold for me, it looks a hell of a lot nicer than my apartment.

The cold---the cold doesn't really bother me, withstanding.

[ OBVIOUSLY RIGHT ]

....Thank you.

[ SHE'S NOT USED TO THAT UGH the only people who knew were either confused or plain ol scared of it in person. Compliments were met with that same confusion. Unless, you know, it were Anna. ]

Well that's...new.

[Definitely not difficult to notice either, especially for someone that's trying to keep a tab things around here.

It's pretty amazing, and so it's no surprise that an overly curious boy will be found mounting the steps of the icy palace to see just who might live here.]

[ Nah it's cool, who knocks anyways?

She's nowhere near the entrance hall, no, nor the stairwell, she's instead only a wall or so away, under a chandelier that was growing with twists and cracks from the ceiling.

But she's heard him, and she's wary. ]

Hello?

Who's there?

Err...hello? It's me, Ventus.

[Because everyone knows your name, right kid. But she did ask... Technicalities aside, the boy peers around as he tries to figure out what direction the speaker came from. Doesn't seem to occur to him that he's intruding, but then this is hardly the first ~~Disney Princess's~~ castle that he's invited himself into.]

Is this your castle? It's really beautiful...

[ Ventus, I don't know a Ventus---

But she peers from around the corner, the colors of her dress warping behind the glass like wall. Obviously he didn't mean any harm, so. She stands, far away from where he is, nodding softly. ]

Yes.

Thank you. I---I made it.

[The boy looks over at the first sign of movement, smiling brightly, which doesn't seem all that unusual for him.]

It's amazing! Um...so what's your name? Have you been here very long? I mean...well, I know this castle wasn't here the other day...

[ How to have normal human interaction??? ]

Two weeks.

I've---only just now decided I couldn't stay in that temple anymore.

[ NO SHE DECIDED THAT DAY ONE. ]

My name is Elsa.

That long..? Wow, I'm sorry I didn't notice sooner, then.

The temple- do you mean Prima's? Ugh, I'm really doing a great job, aren't I...

[He looks sheepishly at his feet before finally glancing back up at the young woman.]

Um, it's nice to meet you, Elsa. Like I said earlier, name's Ventus. I'm one of Prima's initiates, but I guess I'm off to a lousy start if I can't even notice when new people are around.

No, it's fine, really.

[ She's rather animated, gesturing nervously. ]

Yes. I---I think so.

Initiate? I...I don't understand.

[The boy nods, trying to reassure her with a smile. He's never seen anyone so anxious!]

Kind of like...an official helper of his, I guess you can say?

And...Prima.

He's like a leader here, isn't he? A First-forged or some such.

So you're like...a knight?

[ Four for you Glen Coco. ]

Yeah, he and the other Firstforged. They're not here right now, though.

Uh, I wouldn't consider it like a knight. [He smiles sheepishly.] I'm not even sure what knights do.

They're exactly as you said, official helpers to kings and queens.

[ She quietly shrugs. ]

Though I suppose that wouldn't be correct either, then.

I guess not....

Well, anyway, if you need any help with anything, I'll be happy to do what I can.

Oh..that's really pretty.

[Cinderlla got a pretty good view of the castle as she was going out and about.]

Someone's been decorating...

[But the ice makes her a bit nervous, thinking that Lumi may be here in Haven and that it was her doing.]

[Have some applause from Knock Out.] You weren't lying when you said you would build your own place.

No, I wasn't.

[ She purses her lips, inbetween a smile and---not. ]

It was going to be much further away.

But everyone did...raise a rather good point about distance.

[ Robots = big. Long distance to a robot = HELLA FAR for a human. ]

Really impressive.

The further you go from the Haven the more in danger you are. Never go to the Badlands either, Queenie.

It's ALL made of ice?

[She clearly needs to build herself an awesome ice bike.]

So everyone keeps reminding me.

[ HUFF PUFF. Badlands her hiney. ]

All of it, yeah. So far. I mean---it doesn't mean I couldn't go and find a nice rug or...something.

It's because we are used to people not listening to us. [Knock Out is very used to that, sadly.]

It's certain an innovation when it comes to interior and exterior design. A berth for you to recharge wouldn't hurt. Or a tv either if you are going to spend most of the time in there.

I know that feeling.

[ BECAUSE ANNA. ]

Berth? TV?

I'm not sure what either of those are.

I'm still...well. Working out the details. There's no lack of material to work with.

Terribly irritating, isn't it?

[Finally someone who knows his pain.]

Berth is the place where you recharge. Humans use the term 'bed' I believe. How can you now know what's a TV? What's all your furniture pointed at?

Lady you clearly need some personalized advice.

Sometimes.

[ Sour face, behold. ]

I know what a bed is. But I don't know what a TV is.

One of your people's things?

In a castle, furniture has a purpose or it doesn't display at all. Its put away.

Yes.

[dont' be grumpy.] Just like Rapunzel then...It's a box that shows you pictures that move and talk. As if you were watching a play through a mirror. It's really entertaining but not always real.

Entertainment it's a purpose, a really important one at that. Tv are a good alternative when you want to have fun without going outside or see anybody.

Oh----so then like this box then?

[ She thinks about it momentarily. ]

I do prefer books over plays, but...

[ She'd never been to one. ]

Yes, like that box but bigger. You can see movies in TV, I have some recorded that I could send you, then we only have to get you a screen.

Then you will like Trion's giant Library.

There's a library here?

[ That is literally all she got from that. TELL HER. D:< ]

A huge one. Probably half of Trion's temple is the Library itself.

[There, there, he can even drive you to the temple if you ask nicely.]

[ Oh, it's christmas. ]

It's a temple? Like the one down there?

It's not---[ No, that was Prima's. ]

Where is it? Exactly. Would you know how to get there from...here?

[Pretty much.]

It's the temple next to the lake. I know all the Haven, It's a long way from where you are if you have to walk. Not so much if I drove you there.

Could you---

[ Elsa. ]

I mean, perhaps---

Would there be anything small enough for someone like me to read?

Go on and ask, it is so hard? [He will say yes anyway.]

Yes, there is. I've been there before, there's books of all sort of sizes.

I---[ Wasn't! She totally wasn't.

Okay she was. ]

You---when you're free. Would you---show me where it is?

[Uh huh. You, emotionally constipated lady, needs to relax.]

Wait for me in front of you ice castle, I'll pick you up and can drove you there. I might as well pick up some databooks for myself.

And---you're sure?

[ I'm sort of a walking ice storm buddy. ]

I wouldn't offer if I weren't.

Don't be late.

[He got that nifty device from Solus that blocks extreme cold and extreme heat.]

Don't worry----I won't.

[ OH SHE'S EXCITED, WOW WHAT IS THIS FEELING ]

[I think the common folk call it happiness.]

Very well, see you in a bit.

[And he goes out to change into a car.]

Cold, cold, cold.

[Is it any surprise Rapunzel has been sightseeing? There's so much to take in with this new world, and she wants to see it all. It's pure coincidence that she happens upon Prima's quadrant and Elsa's palace, but it's breathtaking enough and signature enough that she can't help but make her way up to it.

Barefooted.

As soon as she makes it to the front door, she pulls her hair in front of her and stands on it. Much better. She raises a hand and knocks on the door.]

Elsa? Are you in there?

[ That's Rapunzel. That has to be Rapunzel. The doors open of their own accord, but Elsa isn't behind them, no, she's further up her new set of stairs, much shorter than the ones she raised on the North Mountain. Her train fell lazily behind her, and she looked slightly concerned. ]

Rapunzel?

Yes? Oh, come in. I---I didn't---

[ I DIDNT THINK ANYONE WOULD VISIT? I DIDN'T THINK ANYONE WOULD NOTICE???? ]

[You're not exactly the master of subtlety at the moment, Elsa.]

Wow...

[Give Blondie a minute to catch her breath; the beautiful decoration and elegance of the palace has taken it away.]

Elsa... you made all this? With your own two hands?

[ OUCH THIS HURTS THIS IS THE LAST CONVERSATION SHE HAD WITH ANNA ]

Oh--this?

[ SHAKE IT OFF SNOWFLAKE. ]

Yes, I---it's really. It's nothing, it's just someplace to live.

[ Pulling her concern away from Anna, she brings it back onto Rapunzel. ]

I-I'm sorry, it's...I don't have anything else to offer you right now.

[ She winces, her gaze at her feet. ]

You don't have shoes?

Oh, don't worry about offering anything! It's a real treat to see architecture like this! I never really got to see anything but my own tower, and coming here, well... everything is so strange and grand and I'm pretty sure nothing on Earth is like it. So this... this is kind of like being able to finally see what was beyond that forest. It's... it's wonderful.

[She smiles and sighs with a dreamy air, completely awed and humbled by how beautiful it all was. However, that touched complexion shifts as her lips take on a much more bashful curl and her cheeks turn slightly ruddy with embarrassment.]

Um... nope. I never really had a need for shoes back home despite the fact they would have been handy on my little trip... A-anyways, I wouldn't even know where to find shoes here. So barefoot it is, I guess.

[So she'll manage by slowly traversing across the ice by laying a line of hair out, walking across it, and repeating.]

[ Elsa opens her mouth to speak, but she's silenced suddenly by remorse. She was obviously Rapunzel; but she sounded so much like Anna. It almost, physically hurt. She forces another smile, trying to see the light in Rapunzel's new situation. ]

I've heard of some places that might be able to help us find something. They're quite a walk though.

I'd---offer to make you some, but they wouldn't really solve the problem.

[ Her mirth peeks out in that sentence, rather proud herself of the shoes she's made so far; too bad she couldn't really share. ]

I'm not sure if I'd have a seat available for you either---perhaps I should look into some suitable furniture.

[ She focuses on the poor girl's hair, the way she goes about handling it---it looks like she's comfortable having all of it around her. What different worlds they shared. ]

I'm sort of feeling the same way, I just---Well. I don't think I'm ready to explore just yet.

Edited 2014-05-21 12:17 (UTC)

Oh, don't worry about the shoes! I'll manage just like I have been. Though, if you'd like, I can keep an eye on the junkpile and see if any nice furniture drops through. I could probably refurbish it too for you if it needs a little tender love and care.

[Crafts and home decor are kind of her thing.

She momentarily stops her scooting to stand up straight and offer Elsa a slightly lopsided and sympathetic grin.]

And I definitely don't blame you, either; exploring is something you really have to feel comfortable with doing. If it makes you feel better, I didn't do much of it when I first got here. I still haven't done a whole bunch, even with my peeking into the other sections of the city. Baby steps, I suppose.

[Speaking of, she's back to walking across her hair and making good progress towards a wall; she wants to get up close to admire the detailing.]

Everything is just so... sharp out there. I don't think it's... well, that it's safe for me to go exploring outside the city. Not without help from one of the robots.

[For all she knows, a "rock" could completely sever her hair if it got caught on the formation.]

I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's better if you do whatever you feel best doing. No one likes to be shoved out of their comfort zone against their will. Especially when this planet isn't really made of us to live on.
