[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!]

[The first question... certainly it had been so, but a recent change in his world had left the kingdom with a new man at its head. And the fact that Ramza didn't have an answer- even yes or no- disturbed him.

but after a bit of quiet, he moved onto the other questions he was asked.]

...She was. But it was not their hand that selected her. She was 'chosen' by the host, or mayhap preordained so. [He tried to push aside all those memories of worry and loathing at having to chase her...] I could never have imagined such a thing would befall my sister, let alone wished it upon her...

[Its defeat, however, was another story. He raised his sight back to Lily.]

...Sent back to hell, if not slain where it rose. Doubtless it met its defeat.

This demon possessed your sister? That's horrible. If she was able to force it out, will she be okay? [Surely, mental trauma would come from such an experience and possibly physical harm too.]

Even if the demon was defeated, you must be worried and anxious to get back home.

[heretic_hamlet]

She was well the moment she'd regained her will... she was always a strong girl.

[But the second question was one that gave him pause and a moment's deep consideration... it shouldn't have been so difficult a question to answer, and yet...]

...I know not. But for my friends and allies I would have no love for it.

[vintage_magic]

...Other than them, you don't like the world where you came from? I always thought most folks would miss home and want to go back. [That was a bit of a surprise. Although if his world had just been through a war, it was likely a harsh life.]

I know I certainly do. [She gestured towards the snow pig.] To Oscar and my other friends. My shop and the things I have to do...
