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.

I keep it on my lawn, over the Loki district. [ the house probably hides it. But it's not really important, kaworu figures ] It belonged to elves, when they first came to aid Asgard, during an attack from Thiazi.

[ he nods, though. he is glad he isn't hurt ] I have healing, last level. So I can heal small wounds, too. [ because even if a wound is small, if there are many small ones, it ends up being bad, right? ]

That's pretty cool. Did you own a robot before or something? Robot fanatic? Or juts decided that robots are cool and that you wanted one. I mean, any of these options are totally valid.

Naw. I rather you save healing for when people really hurt. It would suck if someone totally ate it and you were tired because you continuously healed small little things like papercuts. [He's pretty good at holding his own for long periods of time. Got the tar beat out of him by his Bro for years man.]

Own a robot... something like that. I was meant to fight with one. [ it wasn't really Kaworu's, but they came from Kaworu. It's difficult to explain and he doesn't think Dave would care ]

Alright, then. [ kaworu smiles and nods. He understands why he'd refuse, though kaworu has plenty of energy right now ]

Must be nice having one here then, huh? [He wouldn't so much say he doesn't care (it's pretty cool anyways), but Dave isn't really the type to pry.]

I'll be fine. Promise. Striders are stubborn, especially when it comes to kicking the bucket. [Even if both Dirk and Dave may have kicked it...more than once.]

[ well, cool. Talking about Evangelions isn't really the same thing as talking about robots. There is so much about them... and they are actually living beings YEAH COMPLICATED EVA STUFF. ] I liked them. They were part of me I suppose. [ being VERY literal here because evangelion man ]

Hm. So I have heard. Dirk says the same. [ only Davesprite hasn't said it, but Kaworu has a feeling he would ]
