[ upon kogami's suggestion, akane's taken it upon herself to find a suitable (ha ha) way of celebrating her 23rd birthday! she found the chilling cave by coincidence while patrolling the streets once and decided that she wants to try ice skating.

so after texting the guys (brother, mom, and dad), as well as a couple of friends (really, it's just a couple. she doesn't have much friends) if they're free on the 17th, she waits outside the chilling cave, hoping to meet up with her friends.

it's time… to chill! ]

I didn't expect it to be snowing, myself...

[ Hello, another potential female friend?? Otome's moving on over with a thermos. ]

Would you like some cocoa to help you warm up?

[hoasen]

It is very beautiful, but a little bit inconvenient.

[Potential female friend!! But more importantly, Otome is her saviour right now?! She brightens up at the offer.]

O-oh, is it alright for me to have some?

[mombastic]

Of course! I brought it for this exact purpose.

[ Including styrofoam cups in her bag and a handkerchief in her pocket and-- yeah, you know what, she's just going to pour Vietnam a cup. ]

Here you go.

[hoasen]

[Holy music sounds as Otome pours the hot cocoa in slow motion, the steam rising from the cup all alluringly.

Or at least that is how it would be in anime land?! Vietnam gratefully takes the offered cup, even just holding it is warming her up already.]

Ah, thank you so much! Your good idea has saved me too. [She blows gently on the surface before taking a small sip.] Mmm, and it's very invigorating.

[mombastic]

Something sweet is good to invigorate the senses-- in moderation, of course. [ But she's relieved that the idea's coming in handy. ] I'll have to remember to bring more layers next time!

[hoasen]

Aha, that is true. Too much of a good thing can be bad. Though in this case! I am sure everyone would love to indulge. [Because it's delicious?!] I will as well. I didn't know it was actually going to be a winter cave. [But she shouldn't be surprised, it was Jack Frost's doing.]

[mombastic]

I thought it would be your average ice rink, myself. I wonder how they got it to snow in here!

[ Fans? Snow machines? ]

[hoasen]

Yes! Myself too! But I should've known. This is Jack Frost's establishment. Have you met him? He's all about theatrics and fun. He probably made the snow himself!

[mombastic]

Jack... Frost?

... Like the little blue and white demon?

[ ??????? ]

[hoasen]

[BLINKS.] Blue and white demon...?

Ah no, this one is a young man with white hair.

[mombastic]

It's not a very common name, where I'm from... well, I suppose it'd make sense if he had ice abilities.

[ But does he say HEE HO THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. ]

[hoasen]

Yes, where I am from, the name "Jack Frost" is commonly used to give winter a form. And then here he is, someone we can meet. Is it the name of a demon for you?

[GOOD QUESTION...time to make Jack say HEE HO.]

[mombastic]

I've heard of that first explanation, too-- but yes. There's... Jack Frost, King Frost, Black Frost...

[hoasen]

King Frost, Black Frost? [She's picturing these are different variations of Human Jack Frost.] What do they all look like?

[mombastic]

... Well, King Frost is incredibly large, with a crown... and Black Frost is black and purple, instead of white and blue. You could say he sort of looks like an ice cream mascot? Ah, and Pyro Jack is a floating jack-o-lantern with a witch's hat.

[ So not as bishounen, no. ]

[hoasen]

[Ice cream mascot...that just sounds...cute...]

I'm...kind of curious.

[mombastic]

... I might be able to pull up the Compendium, but I won't be able to summon them. Is that all right?

[ THIS IS NORMAL GIRL TALK... ]

[hoasen]

Oh! I do not know what this Compendium is, but if you can!

[YEAH THIS IS TOTALLY NORMAL GIRL TALK. JUST A NORMAL DAY.]

[mombastic]

[ She's just going to pull out a simple-looking yellow cellphone, and press a few buttons, before she waves Vietnam closer and shows her the screen. On it, a picture. ]

This is the Jack Frost I know.

[hoasen]

[She slides on in to look at the screen, what is this Compendium and what is she about to see?]

Let's see...

...

[She's staring for a moment because this Jack Frost is super cute. What the heck.]

[mombastic]

What do you think?

[ HE IS MEGA CUTE, NO? ]

[hoasen]

He's...he's endearing!

[HOW CAN THIS BE.]

[mombastic]

Isn't he? Dangerous, if you're not careful, but very cute!

[hoasen]

Oh! So he is an enemy? You cannot befriend him? [Because...look at him.]

[mombastic]

Well, you can, but most demons aren't very fond of humans, so they generally try to kill you on sight.

But as allies, some of them do make very good friends!
