⫸ EVENT: The Winter Gather Exchange!
⫸ NOTES: This is a general info post and a place to RP with one another and with the host, the enigmatic Noya Fosse


Part I: Arrival
You find yourself drifting off to sleep, or perhaps merely daydreaming, with the faintest sensation of a cold breeze tickling the back of your neck. Then, as darkness subsumes you, you feel the brush of hundreds of heavy flakes of the most beautiful, crystalline snow. This snow glints in all the colours of a frozen rainbow, prisms of sourceless light that blind you until you push your way forward into... into what, exactly?

The place you arrive is nothing like home: a frozen den of sharp pillars of ice support a mirror-smooth roof. Like the court of a powerful ruler, this place is fit to impress. Treasures of every kind and shape are frozen below the floor and along the walls: look but don't touch, please! The main hall is artfully littered with places to sit for creatures both large and small, and to one side is a never-ending buffet of cold and hot food (and drinks, and of course you know there are marshmallows) attended by little icy creatures not completely unlike flitters.

But what takes your first impressions and blows them away is the owner of this odd little place. A sinuous dragon of crystalline grace rests upon a raised dais on a throne molded of snow. Her scales seem to reflect the globes of light gently shining down on the room, and she is currently in deep conversation with a very furry creature made, it seems, to exist only in the deepest cold.

A chubby little flitter wings over to you (or perhaps it's a small fleet) with a pelt of heavy fur.

::Welcome to the Winter Gather! Noya chose you to partake in her riches and get to know one another. The Nexus is back! The Nexus is back!::

That thought fades from your mind as the flitter scoots off to its next duty, though it sounds like a triumphal cheer.

Welcome to the Winter Gather, it seems. What do you do next?


Part II: The Revelation
(To be posted on December 19th! For now, feel free to post a mingle starter and tag others, get to know them, etc!)

As Greybone snags some meat, a trio of glassy flits catch sight and they begin shrieking, circling around and trying to chase him out by divebombing his tail-end.

What's a wolf to do when he's being heckled?

[cmoonwolf12]

"owowowow Hey Hey sorry I was just hungry." he darts away then turns back to them. "aren't you guys so cute!" he laughs trying to be charming. Then he bows to them.

Two of the three flits leave off as the wolf speaks, as he laughs and bows. But one, a glossy black colour like the slick ice over pavement, dives at his head one last time and boops his wet nose with its tail, an unkind smack before it swoops away.

Of the other two, a pale green beauty flutters down to the ground in front of Greybone. She perches on her back legs like a squirrel and cheep!s at him, both hands bumping up against her muzzle over and over... as though mimicking eating. It's hard to tell, but it seems she might be asking if he's hungry...

[cmoonwolf12]

Greybone nods adoringly at the lovely critter and sits beside her.

And thus the flit takes wing again, flapping one circle around Greybone's head, then two, then flying off in the direction of a tunnel hardly fit for a human. For a wolf, though... it's a cozy fit, but one could make it through if she hunched a little!

As the tail of the flit disappeared into the tunnel, a quiet "pop" sounded nearby. A young man with vibrant golden hair and a goatee trimmed to a perfect point appeared next to the wall. He crouched down as the wolf approached the tunnel entrance and deposited a small, mottled egg onto the stone floor.

Take good care of this one. The words came into the wolf's mind without a visible source, but as the young man winked and vanished again, the playful words seemed to fit his character. And so Graybone received the first of the IGPC eggs.
