[glacio]

If anyone would like to go ice skating, please do feel free to join me in the unused gathering hall on the fifth floor of Caer Glaem. Skates can be provided for those who need them, as well as a quick skating lesson, if you've never had the chance to try before. I'll be here all day.

I hope to see you soon!

Oh, and don't forget to bundle up!



[ ooc: basically Elsa's taken one of the bigger rooms and froze it all over, so it'll probably look a little like this, only wider right yeah. big room. instead of putting up a log I'm just going to say go ahead and use this as an actionspam party post kinda deal, if you want! closed threads are cool ( even if they're not open to Elsa, though you can handwave that she gave them literal ice skates ), open to all that would have access to the Seelie castle. i just thought an ice skating party would be cute, haha. just label if it's a text reply or an action thread in the subject or whatever, yus ]

Do you mean to say that your castle is an ice castle? The seelie court?

Beg Pardon. But...what is ice skating?

[ she isn't in the castle. but she's curious. ]

[sundroplet]

Can we -- come and watch?

[ because while she wants to, she really doesn't see a way for her to skate with all her hair without killing herself or someone else.

Sigrid is awake before the sun rises, finding an extra-early morning gives her a little more time to herself before work begins. She has a recently healed leg wound and has been encouraged to exercise to avoid the scarred muscle becoming too constricted. Since she's a girl born on a lake in the sub-arctic north, skating on ice is nothing new to her. She's no Olympian, but she's certainly at home.

Her fairy entourage, on the other hand--three wee creatures who followed her here for curiosity's sake--look considerably unsure of this business. One is perched on her shoulder when she first takes off. It gives a meep and holds on for dear life. As she gains speed, however, it starts shrieking in wild elation. The second buries itself in the warm pocket of her patched, worn coat, while the third sits on her head, holding her hair like reins.

[ Apologies, Elsa, some asshole is skating (bare-foot, because what a show-off) over those geometric snowflakes and covering them in sprawling fern-frost like he owns the place. Whoops. ]

If you must do this, search your ice. The fishermen say it won't hold, if it's thin, and healthy men have lost lives to it.

[Alright, so Elsa's text had intrigued Hiccup. Recalling meeting her at the feast when they'd all first arrived, and remembering her ice magic, he can't stop himself from wanting to check out this whole skating thing she's set up.

Even if he'd gotten a sample of her powers when she'd frozen the soup, it's sort of a shock to walk into the room and find the floor covered in ice. It's...kind of pretty, he has to admit, and he finds himself smiling as he watches the others who have come by skating around.

He hangs back though, off against the wall, just watching. Skating isn't exactly something he can do anymore. Not with his prosthetic foot. He's had a hard enough time getting used to just walking on it, and he's kind of doubting that they make skates for peg-legs anyway.

So yes. Just hanging back and watching the fun. That's fun enough on it's own! ...Mostly.]

[he didn't remember there being an ice-skating rink in the castle -- hell, he didn't think they even had that kind of thing in vaguely-medieval fairyworld -- so the mass text invitation certainly has jason curious enough to go check it out.

of course, the actual thing looks less like an ice rink and more like a ballroom decorated by boreas while in a particularly artsy mood, so forgive him if he just stands stunned in the doorway for a bit.]

What's ice skating? [ she lived in winterfell, surrounded by ice, and never heard of it.]

Will had begun to tire of spending all of his time in the library. He liked it well enough, and some of the books he had found were fascinating.

But even an Old One could only spend so long in one place.

And so when he hears the message about skating in the castle, he was more than curious enough to come to see it for himself.

Tugging a bit at his heavy jacket, he steps into the room and moves into a quiet corner to observe everything.

You know, I'm pretty sure that hall isn't usually frozen over.
