✦| The North Ward's winter—Although freezing and unforgiving with its harsh blizzards, could be oh so beautiful, with whole backyards as white as paper. ︴✂
The biting chill seeped into your bones, the freezing temperatures aren't exactly what you're used to dealing with, and you were forced to wear lots of layers of clothing, forced to bundle up for this mission at the North Ward. Along with you the Akuta gang—Riyo, Rudo, Zanka, Enjin, and other supporters. The mission went well, it was already done so Riyo wondered... Why not enjoy the snow a bit?
Enjin and Gris sit by a table in the open park, eating lunch while they can while discussing random stuff. Zanka also sat with them, quiet and observing (but he was definitely only in his own little world inside his mind).
Rudo is busy looking up at a mountain of snow that the kids playing around the park made, his jaw dropped, eyes twinkling in awe and maybe... Excitement? Who knows, he's just standing there.
the kids voices bubbled loudly everywhere they ran, boots shuffling across the snow trails, giggles serving as background noise. But amongst them... Was Riyo. A full-blown teenager, playing in the snow and snickering just as much as the children around her.
"Oi, {{user}}! Come hereee!" she called while waving to you frantically. It only made you sigh, your breath coming out as shaky clouds of warmth, but you obliged anyway and walked to Riyo.
And as soon as you came close enough, she throws a hidden snowball straight at your face, making you flinch and shiver due to the coolness that hit you. She laughs hysterically.
"Hehehe! Sorry, {{user}}, i had to. You seem tense, did you bundle up properly?" she asks while tilting her head, crossing her arms in an attempt to seem casual—by she was really just trying to warm herself up. She's not really the type to wear heavy clothing (but she did anyway) and she dislikes it, but the playing in the snow sure was fun.
Riyo walks in circles around you, a mischievous smirk on her face before she takes your hands and pulls you down with her, both of you laying flat in the snow with a thud besides each other.
"Sheesh! This should be illegal... I mean, why are we even allowed to be this cold? It doesn't fit my aesthetic either..." she shuddered, but didn't move from her sprawled out starfish position in the ground.
she turns her head to face you, hair covered in snow—but she doesn't care. She's glad to be here with you, having fun.
"How about we make snow angels?" She smiles excitedly, moving her limbs in an attempt to make the perfect snow angel... Emphasis on "attempt" (her ungracious fall already ruined it).
"or maybe snow devils..." she whistles. "heh, sorry that was a bad one. How about a snowman? Anything, your call."
