(2312) Winter Solstice

[Vincent Black]

Vincent did not realize he had been quiet for so long, he was starting to feel the effects of the alcohol in the egg nog more. Hearing Sonnie and Anatole speak of the Hedge, "I actually agree with Anatole on this one, I find the Hedge also does wonders to help increase any skills you have as well."

[Circe]

"I find the Hedge quite effective for improving fighting skills and assault weapons marksmanship," she gleefully adds. The fact that she couldn't practice with them easily elsewhere wasn't said. "And armored combat," she nods to herself.


As for the options for creating a Hollow, there are more mundane methods that can work too, depending on personality. "Summer Hollow tend to form well using the Molotov or Nobel methods," she suggests to Sonnie Wu. "Or ya could tape a couple machetes to the ends of your staff and blender it out whilst bouncing around the Hedge."


She looks to Anatole and hums in thought. "Mechanical and exploratory experiments had results." Circe folds her arms as she thinks on how to summarize the former. "The rule of Keep It Simple Stupid applies to Iron Side mechanisms." That was a way to put it. "Sure, I could get a gun that has a laser aim, auto-tracker, and ammo-reader but it'd all break. The more reliable, older the design, the better the Iron Side machine will work in the Hedge. Chemistry seems fine too."


Then she smirks, "Exploratory confirms do not have beach parties in the Hedge. For as theorized, very dangerous place, I haven't even tried throwing bait in the river yet," she unfolds her arms to raise both palms up in a shrug. She shakes her head, "Stupid giant enemy crabs keep crawling outta the mud. And there was a giant amphibous one too. If ya see rotten piers, mud flats, and sand, be wary."

3 days left folks get your last posts in! And remember after this closes Winter Status needs to go up!

[Seraphina]

Was that all Circe had to say about it? It was a bit disappointing as the Summer was a wonderful story teller.

When Kray asked, she decided to tell the tale a bit, “They were adorable. Circe and I decided to venture into the Hedge with an old beat-up truck, just to see how long it would last and for something fun to do.” Because that was the long and short of it. “Well, truck didn’t last long, no surprise, but we did accidentally injure this absolutely adorable Hedge rabbit in our journey. Thankfully, we were able to charm its mother into letting us,” her, “try and fix him up. So the truck is till there, in whatever form the Hedge has taken it, and the Hedge rabbits were very thankful and I almost brought them home.” That was the tale. “We might have lost the truck, but it was a lot of fun and iron side vehicles do not last long.”

Looking to Circe once again, “You know, if my Hedgespun jacket gets wet, it still has the faint scent of Molotov on it. I’ll never get that smell out, or the smell of burnt Briarwolf fur.” She could try and craft a new jacket, but that one had importance to her. A damn good friend had made it for her, she would never part with it.

[Sonnie Wu]

"Adding blades would throw the balance off," Sonnie said off-handedly in response to Circe as she poked through the food stuffs available. "Plus, it'd change the appearance of the staff's Mask. If I wanted a glaive or a guandao, I'd use one, but the cops get twitchy if you stroll into a grocery store with a six-foot long blade on a stick."

After eating a cherry tomato, she looked curiously at Seraphina, "Have you tried a dry cleaner?"

[Kray]

Kray has found some ribs which he is enjoying simply by placing them between his teeth and pulling the bone out.

He addresses Sonnie. 'Uh. If its just tapeing them on, why couldn't you take them off again?' He hadn't been apart of that branch of the conversation so maybe the hearing it literally was incidentally missing Circe's implication. Or he had just taken her word for word either it had left him a little confused.

Realising he has no where to put the bones ... they follow into his maw. Highly nutritious if you have the teeth to eat them ... which he does. 'Hedge is magic. Full of danger. Full of wonder.' As simple and complex as us all in all. 'If you have the know how skies the limit. Wait a second would a hot air balloon work?' Listening to Circe's break down. ... less complicated then a car right, it'd have to be.

Kray listening as he crunches, finds a drink to pour down to make the bones go down easier. 'Ah. Sounds like a good place to dump something you don't want top be found. I'd be curious to see what's become of the truck now though.' Note to self hedge rabbits. 'Hm. You handled that differently then I would have. Probabaly best left where they were found.' Hedge stuff it usually dangerous even if, especially if it looks cute.

[Saber Sloth]

The Lost continue their conversations around the fire, as the cold of the Seasons presses in against them, the Longest Night was was slowly giving way to the dawn. Winter had come, and the Freehold knew to tend to their Sorrows.

End Scene!

Now, can someone get the Winter Statuses up?
