First Icicle Fall

[baka_jyanai]

-Hey, you know that upcoming winter? Boy, doesn't it feel like it's coming early? And the lake sure has gotten misty all of the sudden.

Like, no, seriously, it's friggin' COLD near the lake, and the cold just creeps into the village in the form of cool breezes. Some might find this refreshing. Others might find it annoying. But really, the weather is doing some funky cool stuff.

Care to investigate the lake? y/n?-

It's not winter! It's November, winter doesn't officially start until late December!

...Wait, did you say "Gensokyo?"

[baka-jyanai.livejournal.com]

Whatever!

And yes, I did!

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

Got news for you. This ain't Gensokyo.

[baka-jyanai.livejournal.com]

Liar. This is my lake.

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

There's one thing you should know about me, Cirno. I don't lie.

This isn't Gensokyo, and if you had a lake there, I can tell you this isn't the same one.

Did you even bother to look at your journal when you showed up here?

[baka-jyanai.livejournal.com]

How do I know you're not a liar? You're just saying a bunch of stuff I don't even understand.

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

All right. Well. Did you always have wings? And were they made of feathers?

[baka-jyanai.livejournal.com]

Um, no? I have ICE wings!

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

...Then you might want to double check them there. Because I'm pretty sure they're not ice right now.

[baka-jyanai.livejournal.com]

You're just trying to trick me into turning around!

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

Oh, for the love of the Netherworld...

You can just reach around your back and feel them, you know!

[baka-jyanai.livejournal.com]

NETHERWORLD?!

ARE YOU A GHOST?!

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

No, I'm not, relax! ...My name's Adell.

Just... just trust me on this. Check your wings.

FINE! -She reaches back, feeling for the familiar wings of ice...-

[baka-jyanai.livejournal.com]

-And then promptly freaks the fuck out.-

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's the reaction a lot of people have when they end up in Luceti.

[baka-jyanai.livejournal.com]

THIS IS HORRIBLE!

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

[He can't tell if she's overreacting or genuinely that distraught. He'll lighten up a little and stop trying to sound like a smartass.]

Cirno, just try to relax. And whatever you do, don't try to pull them off or anything, that could kill you.

I NEED TO GET BACK HOME! BIG SIS IS GONNA SCOLD ME SO BAD!

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

Big Sis? ...I thought you were the Strongest.

...Unfortunately, though. You're not going to easily be able to get back...

[baka-jyanai.livejournal.com]

SCOLDING STILL SUCKS! AND BIG SIS IS A MASTER!

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

All right, all right. Take a deep breath and try to calm down.

I can tell you about this place if you want.

[baka-jyanai.livejournal.com]

NO NO NO! I DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS PLACE! I WANNA GO HOME!

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

[Adell's voice grows firmer.]

Most of us do! But it's not as simple as going out and kicking someone's ass and being allowed to go back to our old lives!

Freaking out won't help you get home faster. You need to focus and figure out how to put your strength to its proper use!

[baka-jyanai.livejournal.com]

Shut up! You don't know anything! I'll find a way out even if it takes me a hundred years!
