Ariadne • 003 • Skating Party!

[buildingreality]

Who all of Somarium!
Where Lake Meridian!
Style first!
Status open like my arms!

[when Ariadne discovered that the lake was frozen over quite solidly for the winter, she had told herself that she would have to go skating at least once. Of course, she didn't really want to go alone, and as much fun as just going with Arthur and Eames would

[So he's trying his damn hardest to skate, but he's fumbling pretty badly trying to keep his balance. He's determined, though, to learn how. Blue Rose would probably like to skate with him, and Bunny used to skate when he was younger... not to mention, his daughter could out show him on the ice without even trying.

If he knew a couple moves, it might impress her. She might actually think he's cool or something.

Too bad his display is near pathetic. Anyone want to help the old man out?]

If I threw a snowball at you know, would you fall over? [he's not a lot steadier on his feet than the other man, but at least he looks confident]

[fiveminutefail]

That wouldn't be very nice, you know!

[It's enough that the sudden appearance of the other nearly knocked him over, a snowball would send him careening into a snow pile.]

[cut_and_kill]

Hm, nope~ But it'd be an easy win!

[forgetsyounot]

Kotetsu!

[Hey, a familiar face! Phew, that's always good. Since Lulu's still sleeping, she couldn't even ask if he wanted to come with her...so she's pretty much on her own at the moment.

No need to think about such trivial things though. She smiles, waving to him from the side of the frozen lake.]

...What's the matter? You look kind of down...!

[She doesn't even notice that he's doing so poorly--perhaps because she wouldn't really do much better. But it's all about the fun, isn't it?]

[fiveminutefail]

Shirley!

[He waves, not really paying attention to his footing.]

Nothing's wrong, I'm fi-- !

[And because of that, as he tries his hand at manoeuvring closer, he ends up slipping, gracelessly landing into a pile of snow off to the side, not far from where she's standing.]

[forgetsyounot]

Ah--!!

[...!!!

She watches, something of a shocked expression on her face as he tumbles to the ground beside her. A gasp escapes her lips, as she bends down to get a close look at him--

And offer him a hand.]

A-Are you all right?

[nolessthanseven]

[she remembers this guy. He was Snowball Guy.

[So as she skates around, watching him with a devious little smirk, she manages to scoop up a handful of snow, packing it lightly and throwing it underhanded at him. Not enough to throw him off-balance - she just wants to alert him to her presence.]

[fiveminutefail]

[It nearly does throw him off balance, but he catches himself with flailing arms and kicking feet. He has to stop himself to look around, and when he notices his assailant, a familiar face from before, the pout he makes in turn isn't exactly as huffy as it could be.]

Coming back for round two, eh?

[nolessthanseven]

[she grins, offering a waggle of her fingers by way of greeting.]

You know it. It was fun the first time around.

Mr. Kotetsu! [Kay promptly skates over to him - nearly losing her balance when she glides a bit too fast but picking herself up in time. She positions herself beside him, smiling and very happy to see him again.

Even if his display does need a little work. But hey, she'd be glad to help!]

[fiveminutefail]

[His hands hover over her until he's sure she won't fall, and then he retracts them and flashes her a grin.]

Kay! How ar-- w-whoa!

[He slips a little, but promptly throws a hand out, grasping onto whatever he can to not fall, which just so happens to be her shoulder.

Poor guy really sucks at this.]

[dedikayted]

Aaaaah!

[Kay was not prepared for that - so prepare to go down. She just did - ow.]

...I'm...fine.
