[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!]

Comments

[computations]

Did I ask you to comment on the situation?

[ritsu_kouyou]

I would have thought you better at this.

[computations]

What would give you that foolish idea? You are more than aware that I am from a desert environment.

[ritsu_kouyou]

And yet your grasp on physics is better than mine.

[computations]

This and that have nothing to do with each other!!!

[ritsu_kouyou]

Are you sure you're not just making excuses for your failure?

[computations]

There is nothing here to excuse!

[ritsu_kouyou]

Glad to see you admitting that you're just not good at it.

[computations]

Do not act as if that comes as a revelation. People tend to not be decent at things they have never done.

[ritsu_kouyou]

Little Miss Perfection not so perf--ACK!

[That would be Akiha losing balance and falling down.]

[computations]

[ Sion would be smug. Except for the fact that she's still lying down in the snow feeling cold and pain. ]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Akiha struggled to her feet, wedging her skis so she won't move... in theory. She then holds her hand out to Sion.]

[computations]

[ This is no good. Sion can sense a disaster in the making but she reaches up to take Akiha's hand. ]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Akiha thought she had her skis well wedged. Taking Sion's hand she pulled, trying to get her girlfriend up to her feet.

...and then a ski shifted and down she went. Again.]

[computations]

....I predicted this course of action.

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Brushing snow out of her face, Akiha glared.]

Then why did you take my hand?

[computations]

If I did not, you would have been offended. Triply so if you had fell attempting to reach for me.

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Shut up, Sion. Stop being right.]

[computations]

Well? No comment to make?

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Her comment comes in the form of a handful of snow shoved into Sion's face before Akiha scrambled to get back up and away from her girlfriend.]

[computations]

[She starts spitting snow before practically burning in rage and embarrassment.]

[ritsu_kouyou]

I'm sorry, did you say something, Sion?

[NOW SHE'S GOING TO MAKE HER GREAT ESCAPE.

...by snowplowing her way down the slope. Hopefully she won't fall again.]

[computations]

[No, Sion won't be able to catch up.

Too busy falling over more in her frustration.]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[When Sion finally gets to the bottom, Akiha is waiting for her.]

[computations]

[And Sion huffs on by her, pretending like Akiha isn't even there.]
