[Today, if you're out wandering about town, you will likely spot... tiny snowmen. They're fairly simple: two balls of carefully packed snow stacked on top of each other, with little sticks for arms, and pebbles for the eyes and smiling mouths. They're scattered... well, everywhere around the village, usually in groups or pairs

Hello, Minato-kun. [Ryoji doesn't seem too surprised to see Minato there -- but he is happy. Doot, doot, making a tiny snowman... without any gloves. At least he's wearing his jacket?]

[lemonscarf]

Out for a walk?

[... only a little!]

[...what the heck are all of these. Shiki's just going to gawk at one of the little snowmen before she starts wandering, spotting the various groups of them scattered. She keeps going until she ends up in the middle of town and spots a really bright and kind of awkward in her opinion yellow scarf and matching wings crouched down in the snow making snowmen.

So. She has no idea what to say yet, but she's not trying to hide. She's openly just staring and watching him.]

[Ryoji is none too observant, so he won't notice Shiki until he finishes his latest little snowman and stands up, brushing the snow off of his fingers on his pants. His jacket's unbuttoned, so Shiki is free to notice his even more awkward looking suspenders, and the fact that he's pretty much wearing a winter school uniform.

Of course, once he's faced in the correct direction, there's no way he could miss a girl as cute as Shiki, let alone not say hi to her; he smiles and waves.] Hi!

[Kid, you are a walking fashion disaster in Shiki's book. She's just going to tilt her head and wave back, though she's still fixated on the snowmen.] Hi. What's all this for?

[lemonscarf]

[Ryoji is a walking fashion disaster in just about anyone's book.] Nothing, really. Although I hope they'll make someone smile.

[Despite the cold weather, Lymle here is out and about, wandering the village at random just to keep herself occupied. ... Which is when she spots the little snowmen. Curious about who's making them, she keeps wandering until ... well, until she spots Ryoji in the act of making a new one. Wandering on over now.]

What are you doing, huh?

[lemonscarf]

[Ryoji turns at Lymle's voice, and smiles.]

Making snowmen. [With that said, he pokes some arms in the one he's working on.] Would you like to help?

[drawingkay]

[Headtilt, then looking over at the snowman he's making ...... eh, why not. This guy doesn't seem bad. She nods.]

Yeah, okay.

[lemonscarf]

[He moves over a little, so Lymle can work next to him.]

What's your name? Mine's Ryoji.

[skulljokelol]

[Walking around town some more. He has pineapples and orange juice from the grocery store and should be heading home, but he's been getting very distracted.]

What's this? [Eight foot skeleton will stare at a snowman before noticing some of the others] Ah, there's so many! What a sight!

1/2

[lemonscarf]

[Ryoji turns around, and --

......

Is ... is that an eight foot skeleton?? That talks??

...]

2/2

[lemonscarf]

[... whatever, he's seen weirder things.]

Do you like them?

[skulljokelol]

[Yay! People not screaming makes it so much easier to have a conversation]

Oh yes! Did you make them all?

[junesbrand]

[Yosuke might be wtf-ing at all the randomly-placed snowman pairs]

[lemonscarf]

[... but he worked so hard on them...]

[junesbrand]

[he walks and walks, and keeps finding more of them! Jeez Ryoji how many did you make]

Miniature snowman neighborhood?

[lemonscarf]

[... you expect him to keep track?]

Something like that. [doot doot, starting work on another one...] Do you like them, Yosuke-kun?
