Redstar has posed:
The new girl, the one with the dragon wings, has made many peoples day at the school. The lake hadn't really frozen enough for ice skating. But Vicky had turned up today with a smile, looking for Rikki.

When she couldn't find the speedster she had sat by the lake. Many had told her the ice was to thin, some grumpy about it, and she had gotten an idea. It only took ten minutes time for her powers over cold to relegate the ice to perfect skating fitness. As soon as she stepped out, using her wings to keep her moving and not falling, people had grabbed skates. Now a small group is playing hokey on one side while others play and skate, or take a breather with frineds.

Glacier has posed:
Maya Caldwell steps out into the backyard, her eyes quickly drawn ti the skating rink. She blinks a few times, then glances around to spot anyone with blatantly frosty powers. "Who, uh..." she calls aloud to nobody in particular, but she drops thebsentence quickly. Instead, she steps over to the corner of the pool and slowly kneels down, bringing a hand to touch the icy surface and, with her water-manipulating abilities, just feel how far down she has to "reach" before coming upon unfrozen water.

Rift has posed:
Rift heard about the ice rink. She doesn't have skates but doesn't really need them. She just throws on a T-shirt and shorts, lights up her Aura, cracks the window open, and zooms out. The cold doesn't bother her while her aura's up as she flies to the lab and descends to slide around on the ice - it's even easier than on ground as she giggles.

Redstar has posed:
Vicky doesn't have skates but she has flats and wings and it makes it similar to skating. But she doesn't do it long and eventually retires to the edge, passing a concerned Maya. "You okay?" She asks, pausing in her tracks. When she sees Rift she waves and smiles, "Hiii!" She calls to Kitora.

Glacier has posed:
Maya Caldwell lifts her head up toward Vicky and quickly stands up. "Huh? Oh, uh, just...wondering who did this. I-I mean, it's not cold enough to freeze a pool this solid, so...I guess some mutant did it?" The tall, skinny woman's skin was a frozen blue-gray, as if suffering hypothermia, though it doesn't seem to be bothering her. Light flecks of frost could be found across her face, too.

Rift has posed:
Rift shrugs. "Oh, you didn't do it?" she asks, blinking. "Well, there's three people with ice powers I know of. You, Vicky, and Bobby Drake. Any of them could do it - but I do see Vicky here so..." She smiles as she just slides along at pretty high speed. "This is much more fun on ice..." she muses. "BU I can 'skate' on any surface..."

Redstar has posed:
Vicky grins at Rift as she skates past and then looks back to Maya. "Yeah. I did it. A bunch of people kept saying the ice was too thin, or making comments about wanting to skate too...so I froze it," She shrugs her shoulders and her wings flutter too. "I'm Vicky," She says to the blue-skinned girl, holding out a hand. Her own skin is cool, but not cold, and just pale not hypothermic.

Glacier has posed:
Maya Caldwell slowly, almost cautiously, takes Vicky's hand in hers--she's freezing!--and shakes with an uncomfortable, robotic motion. "Um...h-hi. Maya Caldwell. You can...ah, freeze stuff, too?" She briefly nods toward Rift in acknowledgement, before turning back to Vicky.

Rift has posed:
Rift trails back to be by the other two. "So - oh, don't either of you worry baout me. I'm literally just wearing a T-shirt and shorts. While I'm lit up, the weather doesn't bother me." She giggles as she flops down on the ice then rolls in the snow - then with a smirk she rises up, hovering, as snow starts gathering around her, compressing into snowballs as a dozen of them start to orbit her, moving faster and faster. She then looks around, considering targets.

Redstar has posed:
Vicky doesn't actually seem to be bothered by the cold hand though she notes it. "Yeah. Just temperature though. I can't make ice or snow. I can make liquid nitrogen though!" And even as Rift is showing off she brings a globe that is a bluish-white and ripples with contained liquid. It is only about the size of a soccer ball, but she tosses it from hand to hand. "Show off," She says fondly to her friend and then tosses the globe at her. It shouldn?t harm her, as she said. The liquid nitrogen splashing harmless into the snow.

Glacier has posed:
Maya Caldwell blinks a few times, then squints. "But you...uh, -did- make ice. I mean, uh..." She gestures over to the ice rink. "Or did you mean, er, making it out of nothing? Because, I mean, I-I can't do that, either..."

Rift has posed:
Rift just stares at the ball of liquid nitrogen. She holds her hand up as the globe suddenly freezes (figuratively) in the air, shimmering with a red glow. "I... I'd rather not test my aura's limits with something so dangerous..." She then lets the liquid nitrogen fall into the snow and splatter. She then grins as she fires two snowballs at Maya nad Vicky each, and the rest at other random students - all at once. She grins as she gets some return fire and tries to dodge, but a few hit her.

Redstar has posed:
Vicky grins and laughs, "I suppose I did," She agrees. "But not out of nothing. I...mmmm...people or environment, I can take it to sub arctic temperatures. I don't use it on people though. Cold kills..." A shadow crosses her face and then the smile returns. Then a snowball hits her in the shoulder. "Oh it's on!" She says with a grin, bringing a wing up to block more blows as she crouches, grabbing handfuls and making Maya and her a selection to return fire.

Glacier has posed:
Maya Caldwell is suddenly pelted with snowballs from all sides! She helps and reflexively hunches over, arms out to protect her, then kicks the snow around her (with her feet being oddly bare). With a sudden lift of her hands, a six foot tall, four foot wide barrier of ice suddenly forms out of the snow, blocking incoming snowballs. "H-Hey, stooop!!" she cries out.

Rift has posed:
Rift stares, a few snowballs hitting her but she uses gravity powers to stop a few of them. "Ummmm... I don't think she wants to play, Vicky..." she muses softly as she scratches her head as she descends to land on the ground. "Sorry... we were just playing around..."

Redstar has posed:
Vicky watches the shield form and raises her brows in Surprise. Wings folding and lowering she smile apologetically to Maya. "Sorry," She says and the whirls, two balls in hands, sending them hurling at Rift.

Glacier has posed:
Maya Caldwell lets out a heavy sigh. "I mean...You two can play, I-I just...don't wanna. I-I deal with snow on a regular basis, it's.. nothing special, to me." She stays behind her barricade, however.

Rift has posed:
Rift holds her hand up as the snowballs heading her way stop and fall. "Yeah... I lost the mood..." she states as she slides around Maya's barricade to stand by her. "Let me know if there's anyting I can do..."

Redstar has posed:
Vicky pouts only briefly then flops down into the snow, as unaffected by the cold as the rest. "And I haven't had a good snowball fight since I was eleven and nailed my dad so he fell on his butt and slid down the icy driveway,? She says, making random little lumps and clumps in the snow. "Hey Kit, guess what?" She looks over at her with a secretive smile.

Glacier has posed:
Maya Caldwell sighs and slouches a bit. "Nooo, d-...don't let me stop you guys from having fun, I just...don't wanna play." One of her hands goes to grab at the other arm.

Rift has posed:
Rift shrugs. "I'm fine - supporting a friend is always good..." She ponders. "Plenty of snow days left in the year. Is something bothering you, or just bored of snowball fights?"

Redstar has posed:
"You look upset," Vicky points out as she draws a heart in the snow, freezing it so that it stays pit. "I wanna know what we did so I don't upset you again,? She smiles shyly. ?I tend to prefer keeping people happy," If they only knew...Vicky smiles to herself as she draws a V and a plus sign in the heart.

The Zelda digital sound suddenly goes off. Vicky leaves off her highly indicative heart with initials to pull out her phone. She smiles happily and bites her lower lip. As she stands she leaves the frozen snow heart lacking a second initial. "That's him I gotta go!" She says excitedly. She swipes a reply to the text and pockets the phone. "See ya ladies!" Vicky is in the best mood Kitora has ever seen. Glowing maybe? Vicky heads off and once away from people runs and leaps, wings beating great gusts of snow into flurries as she takes off. In the direction of NYC.

Glacier has posed:
Maya Caldwell huffs at Vicky's insistence and turns her head away. "It's -fine-, I just don't li--" She's cut off by the Zelda chime, and Vicky's sudden departure. Ah, well, all's well that ends well? She glances over toward Rift. "I thought I was being pretty obvious..."
