[Open] Hit the Slopes

[topgun_textiles]

Characters: Everyone!
Location: Mount Hood, Oregon
Rating: Varies
Time: July 28th - 29th
Description: Skiing! Hot chocolate! Snowball fights! Hiking! Folks of Death City say 'screw the heat' and decide to take a frosty vacation a few states away. COMMENCE MISCHIEF.



The discounted price came at a surprisingly good time. With the temperatures in Nevada climbing and no end in sight, it seems the owners of a Pacific Northwestern lodge took pity on the Meisters and Weapons of Shibusen and offered them a break from the heat. Despite it being July, the snow was still plentiful for skiing, snowboarding, sledding and innertubing! Dress warm, rent some gear or bring your own and have at it, they say!

From dawn to dusk, the mountain is lively on all sides, boarders and ski nuts to ski newbies enjoying a mid-week break while nature buffs take hikes over the trails on the greener side of the mountain, reachable by a short bus ride from the main lodge. Whether you're more into the powdery white or the vivid green, there's a spot for you to take a breather on Mount Hood.

The question is, where do you even start?



[I volunteered to put up the log for the Oregon trip, and here it is! Tag in to one, two, or all three of the areas noted and start your own open or closed threads within. Tag yourselves in (you guys know the drill), mingle, and enjoy!]

[prosecutory]

Not without placing others in danger, I imagine.

[pishirogane]

No. She took the opportunity though so we had to clear the area out.

[prosecutory]

[He takes a sip of his tea and sets aside the documents he has finished reading.]

She could have easily targeted you both while you cleared the area out.

[evokes]

[She stares back at him, smiling still but mildly confused. IT SEEMED LIKE A REASONABLE SUGGESTION TO HER.]

Haven't you ever seen a girl in love? Not giving up is practically their motto!

[evokes]

Right? If a lot of people want to go, there's no way it can't turn into a party!

[unbreakably]

[ IF YOUR NEXT TAG IS AT SHIT O CLOCK AGAIN I S2G LIKE I JUST SAID!!!

But thank you Minako for ignoring this much at least his dignity is saved at least a little bit... ]

Huh? [ That's not exactly the question he expected all the same though, so he blinks a little at her since it caught him off guard. For a moment he thinks, but then he lightly shakes his head. ] Nah, not really.. well, maybe a lil bit, not like my clothes're made for this kinda weather.

[ He smiles at her though, his skiing concerns forgotten, if not just for a moment. ]

But I'm a tough guy, yeah? Some cold isn't gonna beat Josuke motherfuckin' Higashikata!

[evokes]

[hey brole guess what time it is :))))]

You should've gotten warmer clothes before we came here! [Never mind that Minako is hardly bundled up for the weather herself SHE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE GLOVES.] But I guess this works out in my favor...

[pulling out from.... somewhere..... (is it even safe to take shit out of your pocket on a ski lift WHO KNOWS THAT ISN'T THE POINT HERE) minako takes out a HANDY-DANDY scarf!! it's probably hot pink or neon green because jojo's can only wear funky ass colors, and hearts and peace signs have been knitted in on the ends.]

Why don't you wear this?

[prosecutory]

I...have seen more obsessed members of the female masses, yes.

[It is very clear from his face that he wishes they would just give up. Please. THIS MEANS YOU, WENDY OLDBAG. GOSH.]

[scatterflower]

Yeah!

... Wow, I'm really excited for this now. I guess I'll ask to see if people want to start setting something like this up a couple of days after we get back or something. I mean, even if we can't have it really, really soon, the sooner we get started the sooner we can actually have it happen.

[pishirogane]

She did.

[It was bad... and annoying.]

[topgun_textiles]

I think you should do what YOU think feels right, and quit lyin' to yourself and bottling shit up.

I've been there. It sucks, man. If I wasn't honest with myself when I was lookin' all the bad shit goin' on in my life in the eyes, I never would'a woken up.

...I'd'a still been stuck in a dark place.

But I took on how I really felt, accepted it as a part of me, and now? ...I'm happy. I'm happy as hell.

I want you to be happy, damn it!

[evokes]

Then there can only be one answer, right? That lady must have a thing for you. [It's time to face the unfortunate truth, Edgeworth...!]

[evokes]

Seriously, this is pretty exciting to think about! The sooner the better we start planning too, since I'm guessing it's gonna take a lot of planning.

[scatterflower]

Okay then! I'll make sure to go ahead and ask around the network and stuff soon. Like... the type of food that people like and if they're interested and stuff like that.

[ No use having a party if no one liked the food somehow, after all. ]

[prosecutory]

How did you counter her attack?

[Why no, of course he's not gathering info on how you rolled with your witch attack. What'chu talkin' 'bout, Willis?]

[prosecutory]

...

[Staring at you like you just told him he grew a second head, Minako.]

[unbreakably]

[ punches you into bed

But wow that sure is convenient, a scarf out of nowhere that even seems to suit him since how many scarves out there actually have his dumb hearts and peace signs on them, right.. it's why he stares at it for a while in surprise. ]

Huh? Where did you even find that?! [ Not like those scarves are sold everywhere, he's sure. Or he would've bought one already probably.. ]

[pishirogane]

We fired back upon her spells. Of course, we couldn't hit all her attacks before one or two reached Kanji.

[draculabackwards]

*Alucard wasn't expecting to be yelled at by someone shorter and younger than he was.*

So you are advocating that I tell him? Even though that might cost me his friendship?

[topgun_textiles]

You guys've been through so much shit. Why would he throw away partnership n' friendship just 'cause ya fessed up?

Worst that happens is he says no, man. And that ain't as bad as ya think.

[vintage_magic]

Oh, why's that? Are all the sorcerers in your world so ethical that you'd worry about noble folks without the ability to cast spells more?

...Um, most likely. [But the answer was a little hesitant. Being a good liar wasn't one of her talents and she sort of had to summon a demon herself in order to exorcise it, the same one that had made an inopportune appearance on the network while all the strange things had been happening the other week. Dag nab it! What if he had seen that message? There were sure to be awkward questions in that case.] You've seen a demon summoning ritual performed? Did the person doing the summoning lose control over the demon?

[evokes]

Great! And if you get enough responses, maybe we can go shopping around together to get all the supplies when the time comes.

[evokes]

[Staring back... before she sighs and pouts.]

Oh, come on! It can't be that hard to imagine, can it?

[evokes]

[THAT'S NOT ENOUGH TO STOP ME]

Oh, I knitted this myself. I figured that what with going on a trip to somewhere cold, it'd be a good chance to get back to knitting and make some stuff suited for the weather.

[recitings]

Still. Well, at least back then you were relaxing. When do you assume you'll be done with all that, anyway?

[Dealing with Edgeworth and his work made Genesis think of his past just a little bit, knowing someone else who once was such a workaholic.]
