[Action//Accidental Voice]

[Today Vash was out enjoying the snowfall. He hit the usual places, the flower shop, the bakery, Good Spirits for a drink. He did a little people watching near the fountain before finally hitting the item shop. Where he found a pair of skates that just happened to be his size.

He thought it over for a bit, then decided: what else did he have to do today? So off he went towards the nearest lake and strapped the ice skates on. Only he found out fairly quickly that ice skates don't work so well when the ice is covered in snow.

So after putting his boots back on, another trip back to the item shop, he returns with a shovel and clears an area. Alright! He can do this! He puts the ice skates back on, stands up, and-

-promptly falls over.]

WHAAAAAAAAAA! [Over and over again. He'll slowly start to get the hang of it, but feel free to come and laugh or help him until that point. At one point his journal will even fall out of his pocket. So feel free to also point and laugh at him from the comfort of your own, warm home!]

Yiyiayiyiaia Ow. That really hurt.

[goldenglasses]

Yeah, do you? I'll try to remember that Mr. Lion!

[redheadlion]

That's Simba!

[goldenglasses]

Sorry! Sorry! Simb-ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! [Opps, Vash has finally lost his balance. Don't mind him as he flails about for a bit before landing on his backside.]

Ow....

[redheadlion]

You alright?

[Simba scoots himself closer, lowering his head.]

C'mon, I'll help ya up.

[goldenglasses]

Yeah, I'm okay. I landed on my back and I stopped having feeling in that ten falls ago.

[redheadlion]

Hahah, come on, let's take a break and warm up, okay? This weather's just too cold for my tastes!

[goldenglasses]

Well, I kinda like the cold, but may I should take a break for today. [Vash slowly works his way back up to his feet.] Pick up again tomorrow with fresh bruises! [Carefully he skates, shakily and slowly, towards the edge where his shoes are.]

[redheadlion]

[Simba carefully walks his way across, thankful for his broad paws.]

Really? I can't stand the cold! Then again, I've never been anywhere this cold before.

[goldenglasses]

Me either, but that's why I like it! It's really interesting seeing all the weather changes this place has!

[redheadlion]

I guess. I liked it back when it was rain, and not snow.

[goldenglasses]

But the snow can be so much fun! You can do so many things with it!

[redheadlion]

Yeah? Like what?

[goldenglasses]

Build a snowman! Have a snowball fight! Build a snow fort! Make snow angels! Go sledding! And even ice skating!

[redheadlion]

Never heard of any of those!

--No, wait a minute, I got into a snowball fight once.

[goldenglasses]

You did? How was it? Did you have fun?

[redheadlion]

I guess, but I don't have a real easy time tossing stuff!

[He holds up a paw. Yeah that'd do it.]

[goldenglasses]

Oh yeah... I guess that would be kinda hard for you. Hmm, probably wouldn't be so easy for you to make a snow man or anything too, huh?

[redheadlion]

What's a snowman?

[goldenglasses]

It's a person you make out of snow! Usually you roll up snow into three balls and stack them on top of each other to make it look like a person... kinda...

[redheadlion]

Huh. You'll have to show me sometime, I guess.

[goldenglasses]

I could build you one now! I'd just need to change out of these skates first! [What? Don't you know all grown men love to play in snow?]

[redheadlion]

[Well, he's a grown lion and he likes dancing, singing, and swimming. And eating contests. So he's not judging, man.]

Alright. Show me what you got!

[goldenglasses]

Alright! Just give me a few minutes! [After a few shaky glides, Vash manages to get to where he left his boots and plops himself into the snow and quickly changes his foot gear.]

Right! So this is probably hard for a lion but you start with your first ball of snow and you need to make it REALLY big! [Vash packs together a rather large snowball before he starts rolling and pushing it around in the snow until he has a fairly large base for the snowman.] Just like this!

[redheadlion]

[He watches, deciding to give it a shot, himself. Simba rolls up a ball with his nose, having a slower start but starting to get a snowball going.

He gets himself a base, around the same size as Vash's.]

Alright, what now?

[goldenglasses]

Okay! This part might be a little harder for you. You need to make another ball! This one still big, but not as big as the first one! [Vash gets started on his own as he talks.] Then you have to put it on top of the first one like this! [With some effort Vash gets his second ball on top of the first.]
