[dated to Sunday morning! because most of this stuff wouldn't be happening at night. it's an overcast morning, and chilly enough that there could be snow if those clouds get any heavier!

prince_number_7 is heading home with a small bag, having gone out to grab a few things quickly. the bag contains a few things from what looks like a hair salon.

shellsandlight is seated in the park, looking a bit underdressed considering the temperature. he doesn't seem very bothered by the cold (living at the bottom of an ocean means having to deal with it, after all), and is currently enjoying a variety of candies that are likely to make him end up sick, more from the rate at which he is consuming them than for their contents.

fadedsketch is having a bit of difficulty pushing a fair-sized "portable" generator down the street. he's heading for his naga friend's den, wanting to give him something to power the electric heaters he's going to be bringing by as well at a slightly later date. he's already brought no doubt dozens of blankets by now.

paopuspirit is stringing tinsel garlands around the old paopu tree near the beach. it's already had some lights strung around it, all the way up to the leaves. how he managed to get it up so neatly is a mystery however.

cheeryskies has just entered the library, a bag slung over her shoulder. she seems set for a day indoors, just reading!

beforeitburned has found his way to an outdoor ice rink that he's never noticed before. there are cubbies full of skates of every size near it, and he's given into a sudden, overwhelming urge to try skating.

he's not doing very well.]

Entirely your fault.

[He shoves at her lightly, just because he can.]

Not entirely.

[She'll try and pull herself up. Carefully. To her knees, anyway.]

About eighty-five percent, then.

[He gets up to his knees as well, then gestures to his shoulder.]

If you need something to help you up.

Thanks.

[She'll plant a hand on his shoulder and very, very slowly pull herself up, and then freeze in place.]

You good, or do I need to stay here longer?

Nah, I'm good.

[She'll even offer him her hand.]

Alright.

[Oh, he'll take it, not willing to wobble his way up to standing on his own.]

[She'll try not to slip or slide at all while he does. Fortunately, she won't.]

Sorry.

For what? Sucking at skating? Not like I don't as well.

[He'll get standing then, stretching carefully to remove any kinks in his back.]

[She rolls her eyes.]

For falling on you.

You're forgiven.

[Even if it wasn't on purpose.]

You're so gracious.

[And she is so wobbly.]

I try.

[Sometimes. Not very often.]

Want to see if we've done enough to get rid of the compulsion?

[Liar--]

Yeah. Think you've got enough bruises for it to be satisfied?

I don't know about bruises. Pretty sure my back is just one giant bruise at this point.

You should put something on that.

[Wobble wobble down she goes.]

Sadly, I don't have a heating pad the size of my back.

[Maybe he'll put Serein on his back. Does she count as a heating pad?]

You could put some hot towels on there. Or ice, but that won't feel as good.

[She totally counts. Riku's been curling up with her more since it's gotten cold.]

That would probably be a bit awkward.

[Except not, since he can do the skeletal hand thing. But still.]

[She gives him a flat look.]

I was going to help.

Oh, were you? That sounds like an alright plan, in that case.

I figured you'd say that.

[Wobble wobble she's never going to make it to the edge.]

[What if he pushes her. In a way that doesn't immediately make her fall on her ass or face, that is.]

[She will flail and reach to grab him for stability, that's what.]

[Dammit woman, he was trying to help you get to the edge!!! Hopefully they won't fall again. Red will just try to move with the momentum of the push so that doesn't happen.]
