CHRISTMAS IN JULY, PART TWO;
Days 478-479 (July 13-16th)

Day 478 (July 14)
Following a network post announcing an impending attack by ice giants and Thiazi's declaration to the city, the fight begins when a small swarm of pixies descends upon the city, no more than eight inches tall and the definition of "glass cannons." They create chaos however they can: shaking snow onto people, carrying off weapons, and attacking directly if approached without an easy exit. Their teeth are curved like fangs and razor-sharp.

While the pixies stir the city up, the frost giants begin to load the golems up into the catapults. Two by two, the massive ice creatures come crashing - literally - into the city. They land hard and inaccurately, as the engineers' defenses on the city walls keep the giants from approaching too quickly, and some golems seem to be damaged already by the same defenses as they land. The pixies seem to lose interest around sunset (though you may find one or two hidden and sleeping in a snowbank if you look hard enough - they'll attack aggressively if woken), but the fights with the golems continue well into the night, until all in the city are dispatched. Where the pixies turn into snow, the golems transform into large hunks of ice after they are killed.

Day 479 (July 15-16)
At sunrise, the pixies ascend from their hiding places and scatter, doing their best to break into homes to attack people directly. Today, anyone who finds himself bitten will begin to feel and act strangely.

Ice golems continue to come crashing into the city throughout the morning. All of the original ones slain, Thiazi begins creating more on the spot: while they may be more numerous, they are weaker, and many have odd physical defects. Some are missing arms, and others have extra heads. Following an attack by the strike team, the number itself will begin to thin considerably as one of the catapults is damaged and the other is destroyed completely.

Just before sunset, Thiazi delivers a final message and makes a hasty retreat with her entourage of frost giants. The spell responsible for the odd weather breaks the moment that she passes the threshold a half mile out, and all remaining pixies and golems in the city immediately, mid-action, turn to snow and ice.

By midnight, the city is thawed completely.

That's what they told me. It was kind of vague. [ It made sense though. He wasn't even going to contest that.

Riley's House definition makes him laugh though, for some reason utterly unsurprised. ]


A trickster god? Sounds interesting.

I know, right? I mean, I haven't met the guy yet but I'm told he's pretty awesome.

[And hey, that's good enough for her.]
robosnack: (daaamn gurl)

[personal profile] robosnack 2014-07-18 11:44 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds like more fun than mine, anyway.
everysecond: (Coolest Girl In School)

[personal profile] everysecond 2014-07-18 11:51 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, what kind of video games are you into? Fighting ones are my thing.
robosnack: (i was told there'd be free food)

[personal profile] robosnack 2014-07-18 11:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ Killua perks up a bit at the change in topic. They'd definitely have to check out the arcade soon. ]

I like fighting games! Some RPGs can be fun too.

[ He pauses, looking over at her suddenly with a little smirk. ]

You know, I was actually in a video game not that long ago. ...I really need to get back.
everysecond: (Sure.  That's Cool.)

[personal profile] everysecond 2014-07-18 12:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[She blinks at that. In a video game? Like not just staring but actually in one?]

Wait. How?
robosnack: (laaaame)

[personal profile] robosnack 2014-07-18 12:11 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a long story. And I suspect it's not a different dimension, but a part of the physical world made to have rules like a video game...

[ He glances away. Man, these people had better be right about the fact no one will notice his absence. He can't keep Gon waiting. And he'd been in such a hurry to get back, too, speeding through the Hunter exam-- Killua bites back a sigh, shrugging again. ]

But for all intents and purposes, it's a video game you can enter physically. It's supposed to be really hard to beat.
everysecond: (Wanna Be My Friend?)

[personal profile] everysecond 2014-07-21 11:08 am (UTC)(link)
Obviously it's not and the other people just suck major balls at it.

[Seriously, some people these days. Why join a video game you can play physically if you're just going to suck at it? That doesn't make any sense at all to her. But, people will do all kinds of stupid things apparently.]

We don't have games like that so we'll have to settle for staring at screens.
robosnack: (u lil shit)

[personal profile] robosnack 2014-07-21 11:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ What a refreshing interpretation. Killua laughs, shooting her an amused look. ]

I think, somehow, I can deal with that. Better than nothing, right?
everysecond: (Coolest Girl In School)

[personal profile] everysecond 2014-07-21 12:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Now seriously...this kid needs to laugh more.]

You have an awesome laugh, Killua. You should totally do it more. And yeah, way better than nothing. Trust me. I've done the whole not having a working console thing.
robosnack: (oh gosh what)

[personal profile] robosnack 2014-07-22 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Huh--?

[ The compliment catches him off-guard and Killua falters, turning away quickly and walking faster, to nowhere in particular. ]

Whatever. I'm just glad there's something to do while I'm forced to be stuck here.
everysecond: (It Was Easy)

[personal profile] everysecond 2014-07-22 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
There's probably all kinds of shit to do. You just have to go look for it mostly. And if all else fails...prank people.

[Riley is the best role model.]
robosnack: (yeaaah buddy)

[personal profile] robosnack 2014-07-22 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
Prank?

[ He looks immediately interested, perking right back up. ]

That could definitely be fun. Have you pulled any good pranks around this place?
everysecond: (Up To No Good)

[personal profile] everysecond 2014-07-22 10:19 am (UTC)(link)
Maaaaybe. I do have some advantages because of my telekinesis. So we should get you practicing yours so you can pull shit too. It's fucking great.
robosnack: (tch)

[personal profile] robosnack 2014-07-22 10:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, yeah. The powers. He's been too preoccupied and disbelieving to bother with them, and it wasn't like he got that much info in the first place. ]

Hey, what do you know about these 'powers' you're supposed to be given here? I'm pretty pissed off about it, actually.
everysecond: (What's The Harm?)

[personal profile] everysecond 2014-07-22 10:37 am (UTC)(link)
I know that every House has them and the powers are unique to a House. So there are two to a House and then you get one or the other. You start off small but you can start to grow stronger with them the more you use them. Also, you pretty much just have to think about them and they happen. So you might accidentally do shit with yours the first time, though maybe not since I warned you, then you can just go with the flow from there. But I know everyone has to have a power from one of the Houses. It's just how this place rolls for some reason. Better to use the tools you've got though.
robosnack: (i was told there'd be free food)

[personal profile] robosnack 2014-07-22 10:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ Killua listens patiently, memorizing everything she has to say and making mental notes to research more later. While he's got Riley here and willing to offer information, though, he'll be asking lots of questions. ]

I was told I have something called 'shadow control' but not what it does beyond the obvious. So that must be one of the powers specific to Hel. There's one more for my House, then.

And if each House has two and there are-- How many Houses? Nine, right? That's a lot of variety. Do you know where I can find information on all the different powers? There's gotta be a record of this stuff somewhere.
everysecond: (You Want A Piece Of This?)

[personal profile] everysecond 2014-07-22 10:51 am (UTC)(link)
I think powers are supposed to match the legends and personalities of the gods or something. Like Loki has telekinesis and telepathy, if I remember right. And Sigyn has healing and plant powers. I don't know what Hel's other power is but you could probably learn some things about the gods and find out what their shit does.

Or just ask people. Most people just sort of spit that shit out. I can tell you a little about your powers though. I've seen those in action before.
robosnack: (are you sure tho)

[personal profile] robosnack 2014-07-22 11:00 am (UTC)(link)
Hm, okay. I'll ask around...

And any information you have that would be useful about my powers would be really good, actually. Thanks.
everysecond: (Rubbing The Neck)

[personal profile] everysecond 2014-07-22 11:04 am (UTC)(link)
So basically? Shadows are your bitch.

You move them around and make shapes with them and can make them solid to do things. Like picking shit up or whatever.
robosnack: (tch)

[personal profile] robosnack 2014-07-22 11:18 am (UTC)(link)
Making shadows solid?

Any shadow? Like I could make a box or a chair or whatever, and it'd be corporeal?

[ He looks skeptical at best. Sure, reshaping matter could be done lots of different ways, but shadows aren't even real. That makes no sense. ]
everysecond: (You Want A Piece Of This?)

[personal profile] everysecond 2014-07-22 11:22 am (UTC)(link)
I think so? I mean, I don't know all the details but that's what I understood from watching someone use them once.

[She shrugs a little because she knows that it's not the most helpful but really he's going to have to figure that part out on his own like she did with hers.]
robosnack: (pweh)

[personal profile] robosnack 2014-07-22 11:27 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, okay...

I'll try it out later. It's not like I need powers to take care of these oversized flies anyway.
everysecond: (Comic Time!)

[personal profile] everysecond 2014-07-22 11:46 am (UTC)(link)
Nah. These losers are easy. Mostly it's just handy for the big guys later. Or for pranks.
