⫸ 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!)

Thayer bounded on ahead, often slipping and stumbling on the icy ground. At one point he bounced he snout off a rock, earning an involuntary yip. Yet the lure of adventure was too great to turn back now. Crawling up the last few feet, Thayer emerged in an upper cavern high above the main grounds of the feast. Funnily enough, he could still hear everything going on below as if he were still on ground level.

The curious golden wolf sniffed his way forward, marveling at the massive crystal structures adorning every wall of this area. As he came around one particularly large structure, he stopped short and wagged his tail in delight.

No wonder he could hear everything so clearly! There was no wall separating them from the main room here. They had a terraced view of the entire gathering.

This is so cool! You need to come see this, the golden wolf called to his companion.

"wow this is gorgeous!" Greybone puffed breathless after catching up. He looked around in awe.
