[passes a blitzball from foot to foot. that's not what it's intended for, but it'll do.]

Not that lively in here ...

[he's staring down an empty hallway. lately there seems to be a lot more than usual.]

[he's wrapped up in a blanket as he wanders down the hallway, shivering a little and sporting a red nose -- Sora will never understand how exactly it's able to snow constantly in one room.]

[shoreliner.livejournal.com]

[... that's peculiar.]

Hey.

[atotalsap.livejournal.com]

[even if he's used to peculiar things in this place, he's definitely not used to the cold. Sora reaches up to beat some snow out of his hair, then grins.]

Hey.

[shoreliner.livejournal.com]

[you'd think that Sora's grown a second head or something, what with the way Riku's looking at him.]

[shoreliner.livejournal.com]

I'm not gonna ask.

[puts his hands in the air.]

[atotalsap.livejournal.com]

[looks confused for a few seconds.]

... What, the snow?

[shoreliner.livejournal.com]

... there's no snow in here.

[atotalsap.livejournal.com]

There's snow down the hall. Want to go see?

[shoreliner.livejournal.com]

That's impossible, Sora.

[atotalsap.livejournal.com]

Probably.

[reaches out for Riku's hand.]

[shoreliner.livejournal.com]

You're gonna catch a cold.

[and yet he's taking it anyway, so what does that say about him?]

[atotalsap.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[sounds like Riku will probably catch a cold along with him, because Sora's leading him down the hallway to a door that's shut tight, with frigid air seeping from underneath.]

[shoreliner.livejournal.com]

And then I'm going to have to be the one who takes care of your sorry--

[oh, that's new and uncomfortable. the temperature drop in the dressing room as a whole was bad enough, but this? really?]

[atotalsap.livejournal.com]

We'll take care of each other, then.

[and he pulls open the door, whether Riku's ready or not -- there's a short burst of cold air, and past the door is a room blanketed entirely in snow.]

[shoreliner.livejournal.com]

[not only has Riku never seen before, but he hasn't brought along a jacket, either, rubbing over the gooseflesh rising on his arms.]

... ...

[atotalsap.livejournal.com]

[Sora doesn't seem to mind the cold, or he's too interested in heading inside to care -- he pulls the blanket off his shoulders and moves it to Riku's before stepping out into the snow.]

[shoreliner.livejournal.com]

[well, at least he's warmer now, though not by very much.]

... this place is so weird.

[he shouldn't be so surprised by now.]

[atotalsap.livejournal.com]

Isn't it great?

[scoops up a handful of snow, although he's not very discreet in how he's forming it into a snowball.]

[shoreliner.livejournal.com]

It's freezing.

[atotalsap.livejournal.com]

It's not so bad.

[tosses the snowball casually, grinning.]

[shoreliner.livejournal.com]

Are you insane?

[atotalsap.livejournal.com]

You'll warm up if you move around a bit.

[or, have a snowball fight as it were -- Sora's eyeing him like he's taking aim.]

[shoreliner.livejournal.com]

[... it's awful hard for him to resist a challenge.]

Like you could really hit me.

[atotalsap.livejournal.com]

Maybe I'll get lucky.

[that grin's a shade of devious as raises his arm to wind up.]

[shoreliner.livejournal.com]

Yeah, right.

[atotalsap.livejournal.com]

Then maybe I won't need luck.

[he can't resist a challenge either, so he reels back and pitches the snowball right at Riku.]

[shoreliner.livejournal.com]

[later on, he's going to blame the ice -- and why is that indoors, anyhow -- for slipping and falling. however you slice it, though, it's a clumsy move.]

[atotalsap.livejournal.com]

[it's such an effort not to laugh, and Sora can't really stop himself from it when he reaches a hand down to help Riku up.]

[shoreliner.livejournal.com]

[shrugs it off, shakily getting back to his feet. score one for Sora in the record books.]

this is me failing at checking tags ):

[atotalsap.livejournal.com]

[throwing a snowball almost seems pointless now -- he bats the snow off of Riku's shirt.]
