[Roleplayer001]

The magierprinz nodded at Eith's first question. "That is correct: this is far outside of normal occurrence." Of course, the moment the hellhound mentioned food all hope was lost of having any sort of meaningful conversation. "Just give me a minute and we'll be off."

Soon enough, the Prince had thrown on some elegant black robes and Swen gave the puppy a quick pat on the head to indicate he was ready. Without waiting for a response, the man walked out the door towards the tavern Luna and him had met at previously. As soon as Eith left his house, he would lock it magically behind her.

The kitten started waking up as she felt her arm being pried off something warm, and in her half sleepy state the girl wasn't exactly sure what was happening. Maoin was just about to fall back to sleep when she heard her mistress shriek which woke up the loyal follower in a second.

"What? Mistress!?" In record time for her owner, the woman had shouted something about snow and was already preparing herself to leave. After blinking once or twice, the familiar hopped off the bed and between her owner and the door. Her ladies excitement towards snow wasn't surprising - after being together for a year, Maoin had only been waiting for her owner to lose her final connection to reality. "Mistress. You haven't eaten breakfast, and your hair looks less than proper. Are you trying to leave in this condition?" Some time of peace had passed, but the black haired girl was still a traditionalist.

And today, her mistress would probably prove very frustrating. The neko's foot tapped on the floor, crossing her arms and tail swishing low behind her. "... I SERIOUSLY doubt that you are this excited about heading to classes, my most gracious owner."

Fia listened to Livia's words intently, and after thinking about it for the moment the crimson haired girl's head tilted in mild confusion. She was a little nervous, but the headmistress had told her to be honest and ask questions if she wanted to learn things.

"... what is ...'play'...'fun'...?" In her readings the girl had come across the word a few times, although they still seemed to confuse her. Lyssa had tried to offer some sort of demonstration, and it seemed to involve playing cards. But as the crimson haired girl looked outside, she didn't see any at all.

[Pyromania99]

Lunalel Lightsword

Sorcha didn't want to wake up it seemed. Well, she gave Luna a chance to escape at least and Luna took it. She stood and took a look outside. It was as she feared, snow was upon the land. She wasn't sure how, but the proof was right in front of her eyes and the cold didn't help the feeling at all. She had a feeling classes weren't going to be as scheduled today. As much as she'd like them to, flash snows were never good. . . Especially at this time of year. It was the warm time of year, not the cold. "I should wake Sorcha up. . ." Luna thought aloud. "First though, I'm going to get dressed." The dragon did ask for five more minutes after all. A couple of minutes later after Knightess dressed in her pants and tunic, she shook the dragon a few times, more roughly than before, to make sure she woke up.

Katherine Lindall

Katherine had made great progress on her little trip into the school yard itself, though more her dolls urging her along and wanting to do so herself. "This snow came much too sudden and I had little time to prepare." She gave excuses to her dolls that practically chided her back. "Oh quiet, you thralls." She replied irritatedly. She knew they were right in their meaning though, she was a teacher and she needed to act like one. . . Though her mentor wasn't the best model of a morally right teacher. . . Neither was her father for that matter. The old man was probably dead by now though, so what did it matter about him? "Oh joy, shelter." The woman quietly cheered as she got to the building housing the classrooms.

Eith, Shellagh Alpha

Eith wanted to bite the man's hand off as he patted her. Lesser beings ought not touch their superiors after all. . . But she refrained. There was no need to bring harm to him for now. She followed him out into the cold air and falling snow that instantly steamed away as it touched her. She disliked water. She was just glad it wasn't a rapid downpour of rain or else she'd be like some sort of steam monster moving through town.

???

The girl twirled and twirled until some mean spirited soul hit her in the face with a snowball. She was highly unprepared for such a thing and went with the blow, spinning and falling face-first into the ground. It didn't seem like she responsive until a few seconds later and she had processed what had actually happened. "Owwie. . ." She mumbled, raising her head off the ground and trying to stand up again. "Is that how people greet each other around here? Or is someone just being mean?" She asked aloud as she turned to the culprit. . . At least, whoever it was that she assumed was the culprit. She raised a hand and made a few motions as if she were playing with water in a bath, feeling how the currents acted, as a few snowballs formed in mid-air. After a point where they seemed to be the same size as the one she was hit with, she brought her hand back and pushed it towards the girl and the snowballs lauched at the girl. Either she returned the greeting or she was giving the girl her just desserts.

[Rune_Alchemist]

~Lyssa~

"Ah..." Lyssa could only stare at the gathering pile of snowballs being formed by the girl. It seemed she had awakened a terrible beast. Well, she would at least face her cold, icy fate head on unflinchingly. "Welp gentlemen, tonight, we dine in frozen, tasty snow-filled pastry hell-mmmf." The first snowball pelted her right in the mouth, drowning out her words by the number of snowballs pelting her. The force of which, knocked the demon over and buried her under quite a bit of snow.

Silence for a few moments, before she sat up and started brushing the snow out of her hair. Immediately afterwards, she bounded over to the woman, giggling brightly.

"Wooow, you got me good!" She greeted. "Hehe, that was fun, though! Not every day you take snowballs to the face, ehehe...I'm Lyssa, nice to meet ya! You a new student or something, I haven't seen you around here before"

~Gwynn~

Gwynn turned on her heels, looking at Maoin with what could only be described with child-like excitement. Two of her hands were held together, almost in a pleading fashion. Really, if she wanted to go out she would rather Maoin wanted her too or not - but she would still much rather have the Neko's approval. It'd only be half as fun without her there, after all.

"Come oooon, Maoin! Snow! It's snowing! For the love of the seas you have to let me have this!"

Sorcha

Sorcha only pulled the covers tighter over her as Luna shook her, grumbling tiredly to herself. It was obvious the dragon decidedly didn't want to get up so early, but it seemed at least she was making a somewhat good effort of waking up. She yawned loudly, in a fashion that almost sounded like a small roar. A few seconds later, she sat up on the edge of the bed, looking slightly disheveled and much less elegant - her hair was a mess, she looked decidedly grumpy and a deep frown was being worn on her face as she seemed give Luna a small glare.

"For the love of the Norns...I'm up, I'm up." Another yawn as she stretched her limbs and a flap of her wings. "Aw, most people would have let me continued sleeping...was I not cute enough?" despite her obvious sleepiness, she didn't seem too upset thankfully. She pulled her wings around her tightly, holding herself with her arms. "Hrm...it's cold...did I sleep all the way until winter?" She yawned again. "Urgh, I hate winter...so...cold...Luna, warm me up."

~Livia Fiore

Livia sighed, sitting back in her chair. This girl was completely new to such concepts, wasn't she? She had hoped Lyssa might be able to teach her the meaning of the words, but that had gone rather poorly.

"...hmm, it is difficult to say. Everyone has a different definition of 'fun', Fia. Lyssa for example, enjoys meeting new people and being around others. She finds that to be 'fun'. She enjoys it. So, Fia, let me ask - is there anything you enjoy in particular?" Perhaps not the best definition or way to go about it, but it was all she had in the way of what she could define it as.

[Roleplayer001]

Soon the Magierprinz and the hellhound were off to a place to eat, and a brief glance back towards the demonic girl reminded the Prince of the fight they had where she was constantly stuffed in water. Steam was literally rising off her skin, and for a moment the man resisted the urge to laugh. It was a little funny to see Eith just walking forward casually, steam trailing in soft wisps behind her.

"Eith, do you enjoy the snow? It'd probably cool you down nicely if we remained out here for a few hours!" Of course, it was probably a good thing for the girl's body temperature to be so high, but it would be fun to hear her response.

Maoin watched her owner ... beg? The childish voice and posture her mistress gave off were rather adorable, and reminded the kitten of how she asked for things sometimes. Still, the posture could use just a little bit of work. The cat considered saying no, but the constant slight bouncing of energy the older woman was giving off convinced the neko.

The kitten sighed, ears lowering slightly as if this had been a hard decision on her. Truthfully, Maoin knew she had zero power in their relationship and her owner would do what she damn pleased. "I suppose classes would be cancelled or at least delayed today anyways ..." The kitten put a hand against her chin, rubbing it as if deep in thought. After a few seconds of posturing, the black haired girl approached and started tugging various parts of her owner's winter clothing and brushing her hair, adjusting everything just slightly for her satisfaction. "... why don't you go out and have some fun, mistress? I'll make something warm for us to eat then I'll join you, alright?"

Truthfully, the kitten would appreciate it if she could get her mistress to remain inside long enough to keep her company and finish the meal before going out and burning all her energy, but attempting to delay her frustrating lady would prove to be an impossible task.

Fia thought deeply for a few moments, trying to understand exactly what the headmistress was trying to say. After a while, the crimson haired girl seemed to find something that she enjoyed, and nodded just a bit. However, she still seemed uncertain, and gave off a somewhat nervous tone as she tried to make sure she was doing this right. "... fun ... not being ... beaten daily ...?" The girl did enjoy not being tortured on a daily basis, although the freedom and the mannerisms of the outside world sometimes were scary.

As her mind drifted back to her daily life in the tower, the girl shuddered slightly and Livia would probably feel a slight feeling of despair and panic run through the girl as she thought about the past. Fia was still breaking down on a regular basis, although none had been as bad as the one with Lyssa.

[Pyromania99]

Lunalel Lightsword

Luna sighed. She'd never imagine a legendary dragon to be someone that had a hard time waking up. "No, we didn't sleep that long. It's snowing out for no explainable reason." Well, she didn't exactly have a good reason for there to be snow in the first place, but that was besides the point. "It's something weird." She wasn't too sure what to do. Snow shouldn't be a stranger around here, but it was definitely out of season. "What to do. . ." She asked herself aloud. They could go see the headmistress, or perhaps she should just try classes out for the day.

Doll #69

The doll that always hid itself in Livia's office sat in one of the many cracks and crevices of the room, making a practical home out of it. It was always more comfortable to have a nice place to sit, even for a spirit stuck inside the body of a doll. Katherine sent a message to it, "Hello dear little one. As sure I am that she knows already, but could you mention to Livia that campus is much too cold? I might just camp out in the class building if it keeps like this. Much appriciated." It could feel Katherine magically seeing through it's eyes and listening through its ears now as it left it's nice little place and climbed up on Livia's desk like it were scaling a mountain.

The headmistress seemed to be having a conversation with that firebird girl, so the doll took a seat on some open space and pretended to be cold with crossed arms and shivering constantly for when Livia decided to pay attention.

Eith, Shellagh Alpha

"I don't hate the snow since it's pretty, though I hate the water and steam the snow become. It reminds me." The Shellagh said with a bit of disgust trailing in her voice. She looked at Swen and breathed out a little fire from her nose, perhaps to make a point. Still, there was no use antagonizing him further. . . It still really annoyed her though. "Let us go eat, I'm hungry again."

???

"It's a pleasure Lyssa." The girl said, glad that Lyssa didn't react negatively to taking a number of snowballs to the face. "You can call me Mugi. It's a pleasure to make your aquantance. I don't think I'm a new student necessarily. . . I came here because I heard this is a place for all types of people and creatures to get along. Am I in the wrong place?" She asked, cocking her head.

[Rune_Alchemist]

~Lyssa~

"Wah? Wrong place? Nope! I should know, I'm not human, hehe!~" Lyssa giggled, giving Mugi a bright grin, before placing a hand over her mouth. "I mean, I'm human! Yep, adorable little human, indeed! Hehe! My mom's totally not Satan!" Lyssa clapped her hands together. "But anyways, dang, you're pretty good in a snowball fight! I can't even throw that many snowballs that fast. You an ice mage or something?"

She liked to think of herself as the queen of snowball fights, so unless this girl was she didn't exactly have much of a way to get a leg up on her in one. Not that it'd matter, she'd have fun either way.

~Gwynn~

At Maoins' response, Gwynn gave a small squeal, gave the kitten a tight, full body hug and making sure to give her a rather vigorous petting on the head.

"Thanks a bunch, Maoin! I'll behave...more or less, probably." She chuckled. "You should come when you're done! I'ma find a place to set up a tactical snow fort..." And by that, she meant ice fort to pelt unsuspecting fools with snowballs. Also, ice skating! The lake would probably be frozen over and she hadn't been able to actually practice it in quite some time, not since coming to Sappho. It was pretty annoying, really.

With a friendly, playful salute to the neko, Gwynn bounced out of the room.

Sorcha

Sorcha stared blankly at Luna, seeming mostly completely uninterested in her pacing and thinking. While the cold weather helped keep her temperature in check if she was having a bad day, she couldn't say she was a fan of it. Snow would pass, and it'd one day be warm summer again...she really just wanted to sleep through it, but she doubted Luna would let her. She yawned, before replying.

"Maybe Livia knows. You should go see her."

~Livia Fiore

Livia simply chuckled.

"I'm sure you do, Fia." Livia replied. "But...that's not quite what I meant. Do you have something you enjoy doing? Reading? Playing games, perhaps? If you're like me you simply enjoy sitting outside on a rainy day with one of your favorite students and flirting a little, hehe." She turned her head, noticing one of Katherine's many dolls trying to get her attention. "Speaking of favorite students...Cold, isn't it? Whoever is doing this does need to stop..."

She hummed, placing a tea cup on the table which Cynthia quickly picked up and placed it on a tray. She'd take them to the kitchens to wash.

"But considering how busy I am...Katherine, be a dear and find the source of it. If you get to cold, just come find me and I"ll make sure to warm you up."

[Roleplayer001]

The pair of Eith and Swen soon arrived at a tavern the pair of them digging deeply into the food they found. For now, the two of them were unaware of the snowball fight that would soon be taking place around the establishment they were resting in ...

The phoenix looked down for a moment, deeply in thought. She wasn't paying too much attention to the interplay between Livia and the doll, knowing that they would work on whatever problems came up.

Was there something she enjoyed, more than just waking up every morning not being beaten? Truthfully, waking up with a nice warm and comforting arm around you was one of the things Fia found safe and ... consistent. The girl finally answered in her usual soft tone. "... sleeping ... with you ...?" The crimson haired girl seemed genuinely to hope that answer was acceptable for the older woman, not seeking to displease her.

[Pyromania99]

Lunalel Lightsword

"You're not coming?" Luna had to ask. She would imagine. . . "Still, I'm hungry, so I might eat before I go and figure anything out." She had to add before walking to the door. She needed to check on her armor as well. It might not be finished by now, but she would love for it to be. "Are you more tired than wanting to go get food, Sorcha?" She had to ask before leaving.

Katherine Lindall

Katherine cursed the woman. She never did like to dirty her own hands if she could help it. She muttered a few swears that transferred to the doll, practically causing it to blush, but Livia would have had no idea what was said. She really hated the cold. For now, Katherine decided to play passive. . . She was going to camp out the class building and hopefully Livia wouldn't come out to find her. Someone will figure it out. . . Probably.

Eith, Shellagh Alpha

Eith ate as quietly as she did. . . Which, to be fair, wasn't that so considering the tearing sound of meat and the clanging of tooth meeting tooth. It was time to fill up as much as she could. . . And put a hole in Swen's pocket.

???

"Ice mage?" Mugi had to ask in return. She had no real idea of what this girl was talking about. "I'm a Yuki-Onna. . . A, umm, Snow Woman, as I believe you would call it?" She was hoping it would make sense, but since this wasn't just beyond the pond, but the whole damn ocean, communications could be tricky sometimes. "I don't know about an Ice Mage, but we naturally can control the flow of the snow and cold. Is there nothing similar in this area? It wouldn't be all too surprising to the girl that there were entirely different types of species over here, but it didn't exactly click.

"Well, maybe not. This is suppose to be the other side of the world after all." The Snow Woman continued, looking to Lyssa.

[Rune_Alchemist]

~Livia Fiore

Livia had to resist laughing. Oh yes, sleeping with her was always fun, but they meant that in two entirely different ways. The headmistress sighed, shaking her head with a small smile. How to explain this? She had no idea. This was not a subject she felt she was qualified for, but she'd continue to explain to the best of her ability regardless.

"Hmm...well, I'm not going to say that I don't enjoy you by my side when I sleep, but," Livia stood, heading for the door. "I meant something perhaps you can enjoy by yourself - or preferably with people other than I." That was all she had to say on the subject before kneeling next to Fia with a smile. "Think about it a bit, if you want but for now, I am going to make a few rounds of the campus. I want to make sure there isn't anything particularly bad going on." She gave Fia a small pat on the head and left the room, expecting Fia to follow.

Sorcha

Food? well, she could always get out of bed for some food...but it was just so...cold. Sorcha had to shake her head, she was sitting this one out unless Luna had need of her. She just wasn't in any condition to be doing anything in this sort of weather. She yawned again, pulling the covers over her followed shortly by folding her wings around her and falling sideways on the bed.

"No, I'm good." She finally replied. "Bring some food back please."

~Gwynn & Lyssa~

"Hmm, I dunno, I'm not from this area." Lyssa replied with a shrug. "I just love snow. It's so cold and fluffy and fun to play in, hehe." She fell backwards into a pile of snow, giggling loudly. "Not even cold! I do kinda wonder where everyone else is though...no one should be inside on a day like this!" Lyssa sighed, somewhat annoyed that there weren't more people about. Certainly the cold wasn't for everyone, but snow! Who didn't like snow! Grumpy un-fun meanie pants that had no lives, that's who!

meanwhile, some distance away Gwynn had already made her way into town and with the help of her rather awesome, and rather amazing abilities, had already set up a formidable snow fort. Wasn't that difficult to do at all. From atop the small ship like structure's crows nest, spotted a playful head of pink hair and a woman next to her. Prime targets for some snow-pirate antics, hehahah! Smirking, she picked up one of her stockpiled snowballs...and lobbed it right at Lyssa's head just as she attempted to get up.

"Wah!~" The snowball hit her right in the head, sending her face first back into the snow. She recovered quickly though, shaking the snow out of her hair and jumping up. "Ack! We're under attack! Mugi, man the defenses!"

From atop of her post, Gwynn laughed.

"Wahahaha, build ye defenses all you want ye landlubbers!" Gwynn shouted. "You'll be handin' yer precious treasure over to the Pirate Queen when i'm done with ya!"

[Roleplayer001]

Swen finished his meal far before the puppy did, knowing that he would normally be surprised if this wasn't the devourer's normal behavior when it came to food - he was rich enough to afford the hellhounds hunger, but that was only because the two of them ate fairly cheap.

"So where does all the food go? Your stomach can't be that large?" Did hellhounds have sort of extradimensional entrance in their stomachs so they would always have enough to eat? Either way, it was a way for him to start a small conversation.

The Phoenix listened to Livia's words carefully, giving the older woman a curious look as she kneeled down and patted her hair for a few moments. It wasn't a bad feeling per se - it seemed that it was intended to be a little comforting. The crimson haired girl resisted the natural inclination to recoil until the tall woman decided she was finished, and started heading out the door.

The crimson haired girl followed obediently, her soft steps falling a little behind and just to the right of the headmistress. Her mind mulled over Livia's words - still seeming confused about the concepts Livia was trying to teach. Was this one of those things she would have to find out on her own?

[Pyromania99]

Lunalel Lightsword

"Fine, it might be a bit before I get to actually bring anything back." Luna said as she shut the door behind her and headed off towards the headmistress' office. Sorcha was going to be no help it seemed. Oh well, there might be nothing to be done about the situation anyhow other than waiting it out. Still, it was pretty cold. It was a bit annoying, but her outfit was for all types of weather, so it wasn't all too bad. Now she just needed to march through the cold and snow.

Eith, Shellagh Alpha

The Shellagh took a bit of more food and tried to answer Swen's question. "Ift fwall gwifts chwaarrd an' baurned." She realized that it came out as gibberish and swallowed. Finding her mouth empty now, she continued. "It all gets charred and burnt. As far as can be assumed." She took a large bite and savored it for a few seconds before swallowing and continuing. "I think it works like a firepit. It burns until nothing is left. Those devil-women described it as such, though 'with some exceptions' as they put it as well."

Mugi, the Yuki-Onna

Treasures? Mugi had no such thing. Was this woman. . . Delusional? That was the word yes? Still, she said build defenses? "Build defenses? Like this?" Mugi raised her arms and snow from the nearby area gathered together to make a wall between her and Lyssa and this "Pirate Queen" as she called herself. She was not all too sure about what she wanted. She hadn't met many people around, but the ones she had were weird. . . Probably. They were different compared to all the girls from her village.

[Rune_Alchemist]

~Gwynn & Lyssa~

"O-oi! What gives!" She was the only one around here that had any control over ice and stuff, wasn't she? Or at least, she was the best at it. She wouldn't let this slight go unpunished! And she most certainly wouldn't go down without a fight. They wanted to play hardball? Fine then, she'd play hardball. Lyssa though, was much more amused by the development. Her jaw could only drop in amazement. Well, she had quite the teammate here, didn't she? With a giggle, she clapped in excitement. Gwynn though, seemed less than impressed.

"Wooow," she said picking up some snowballs. "I don't think we're gonna lose as long as you're here, hehe." She poked her head around the corner of the wall...only to be pelted in the face by an icy snowball again.

"Hahaha! Yer fancy defenses aren't gonna last you long! Best surrender before I sick the Kraken on ya!" Gwynn shouted excitedly. She was already reinforcing the snow-ship-fort with ice in order to prevent it from being easily overrun or taken over.

"Wha!! That's bad!" Lyssa shouted, sitting up and shaking the snow out of her hair again. "Hey hey, think you can sink that ship of hers? We need as much firepower for that as we can!"

[Roleplayer001]

As Eith spoke with her mouth full, the magierprinz had to raise his sleeve to try and hide his laughter behind. Although, these exceptions made the magierprinz a little curious. "So, what are these exceptions?" The man's quest for knowledge wouldn't be ending anytime soon, and if the hellhound was willing to surrender information herself the prince wasn't going to argue about that with her. "And by devil women do you mean succubi? Or something else?"

[Pyromania99]

Eith, Shellagh Alpha

Eith shrugged at Swen's question about exceptions. It was when she was younger and not nearly as wise as she was now. They never explained what exceptions they meant. "Sorry, I've never really bothered opening up my stomach to see how it works." She took a bit again before answering his next question. "Maybe? There are a lot of things that have horns in the world and it was a long time ago."

Mugi, the Yuki-Onna

"Sink the ship?" Mugi wasn't all too sure what she should do in this situation. "I can make you a bunch of snowballs. Would that work?" Mugi asked as she made a lot of snowballs for Lyssa. Other than just making the entire structure collapse, but where was the fun in that? What was she wanting her to do? "Did you have something else in mind?"

[Rune_Alchemist]

~Gwynn & Lyssa~

While Mugi made some snowballs, Lyssa poked her head around the edge of the defenses once again and lobbed a snowball right for Gwynn's face. The projectile met its target, slamming her right in the face. The blond gave a small yelp, but remained steadfast on her perch as she brushed the snow off of her face.

"Argh, you'll be payin' for that!" She shouted across the street. Fine, if they didn't want to surrender, she'd just unleash snowball hell at them! Controlling snow was similar to ice. She couldn't exactly make it herself - it was too fine for her too. Required more finesse rather than brute force, but she could control it with some difficulty. She lobbed ten snowballs towards Mugi and Lyssa, the latter of which barely had time to duck for cover back behind the defenses.

"Wah! Pirate lady has some serious firepower." Lyssa groaned. "We...need...a cannon! That's what we need. Hey, hey, mugi! Make the biggest snowball you can and launch it at her!"

[Roleplayer001]

The magierprinz nodded when the hellhound seemed to dismiss the conversation. It wasn't exactly a surprising thing, but the mage did have hopes for further academic pursuits in the future. "So how old are you, exactly? You make it sound like as if you have lived far longer than you appear to have." The hellhound's wording made the creature seem far more advanced in years than she let on, and the prince wanted to know if there was a secret he was missing out on.

As her mistress left the area, the kitten set about making a fast meal in the oven while she fixed herself up for the day, dressing in a thick black dress and adding thick thigh-highs, a scarf, and a coat for added insulation. The black haired girl had to search some time for the things, but she let out a satisfied sigh as she managed to find the various pieces.

Soon she had quickly finished a meal of warm biscuits that practically melted in the mouth, and a little beef to go along side it, and just a tiny bit of fish on the side. Fish was perfect for every meal in the kitten's humble opinion. And her mistress seemed to enjoy constantly getting it for her.

After finishing in the kitchen with some hot chocolate, the girl threw the various things into small magical containers and then put those into a larger satchel before heading out the door (and taking a small shovel as she left, just in case). After a quick conversation with Tiaza, the pair of familiars set out together into the town. The tigress was simply seemed to be bored and glad for the company.

It didn't take long for the kitten to find her mistress, battling with a few other students who were cowering behind a wall, screaming various things in French pirate speak, and standing at the top of an icy crows nest. Maoin started casually heading onto the ship silently, but paused when she saw the tigress staring for a few moments.

"Is ..." The taller girl seemed to be wondering if this was a normal occurrence.

"After you've been with my mistress for a year, nothing surprises you anymore." The teenager spoke matter of factly, answering the other familiar's question.

A second later the black cat started to climb into the crow's nest with ease, joining her owner in the small space. "Mistress, how is the battle treating you?" The cat was soon intelligently was taking cover from their enemies, trying to avoid a snowball to the face. The large ears twitched as pink hair mentioned something. "Also, I heard them planning something about a 'biggest snowball'. Just thought you should know, mistress." The kitten had a calm expression on her face and spoke with a fairly flat tone, as if this was something she had been expected and had mentally prepared for.

Tiaza had backed up, watching the battle with no small degree of amusement from the sidelines.

[Pyromania99]

Eith, Shellagh Alpha

"At the least sixty I think?" The Shellagh replied questioningly. She wasn't all too sure herself. Not like she was completely sentient at first. She served under an Alpha once, before she stole her rightful spot and became the only of her pack. But that was a long time ago. "I also believe there is a saying, 'Never ask a lady her age?'" Some other devils taught her that one, though she herself didn't care too much.

Mugi, the Yuki-Onna

"Cannon?" The Yuki-Onna asked in return. She had no idea what a cannon was at all. Still, she understood "launch" so she complied with the girl's request. She made it from behind the wall, and made one of impressive size. At least as big from top to bottom as Lyssa. She launched it as if she were a trebuchet, but wasn't exactly aiming too well. At the least it'd hit the snowboat somewhere. She really wasn't sure at the point. She was just trying to please her acquaintance. She still wasn't all too sure what was going on.

[Rune_Alchemist]

~Gwynn & Lyssa~

"Argh, get down!" Before Maoin could say anything else, she tackled Maoin to the ground. The snowball Mugi launched flew over their heads, slamming into the ground behind them...and taking the small mast with it. "This battle is no place for green horn kittens like you!" Gwynn stood up, running over to the railing and glaring at Mugi and Lyssa. "Oi! I spent five minutes building that!" Before she could say anything else though, a flurry of snowballs was tossed at her from across the field. Lyssa had picked up as many snowballs as she could possibly carry and started lobbing them all towards the pirate and kitten.

"Wahahaha, eat that! Your reinforcements won't do ya any good here! Mugi, another!" Gwynn dove to the side. It was quite likely this exchange was going to continue for some time.

The magierprinz raised an eyebrow at the hellhounds comment on not discussing a ladies age. "To be fair, I don't think fine ladies set fire to taverns or eat nearly in the quantity that you do." Sixty though? That seemed significantly older than what the woman seemed like ... did she age at a third of the speed, or was she simply capped out at a certain limit? The Prince contemplated his options as he finished his meal. "So, I don't know if I have classes today. We should probably figure that out."

As the kitty finished giving off her warning, her mistress felt the need to suddenly tackle her to the ground. It was uncomfortable, and seemingly unnecessary until the mast collapsed from a gigantic snowball. The girl's eyes widened.

Her mistress was in danger. That was simply unacceptable.

Despite her owner's warning the neko regained her feet. Scooping up a snowball into each hand and attempting to dodge their enemies with her catlike agility as she charged towards them, she flung one towards each of their faces. "Do NOT attack my mistress!" It seemed that the catgirl was loyally going to protect her mage despite the chaos that was occurring, and that she had every intent to bring these fools before her to their knees. The glory for house Foghlu ... and the pettings from her mistress ... would be worth the sacrifice.

Eith, Shellagh Alpha

"That's for you to figure out. I ate, so I might go lay down somewhere and take a nap." Eith said, ignoring the boy's comment about her not being a "fine lady." When was it her duty to follow Meal-Ticket around like a pet mutt? Really, it should be the other way around right? Regardless, she was still hungry and ordered some more.

Mugi, the Yuki-Onna

"More?" The Yuki-Onna questioned. Still confused, Mugi did as Lyssa bid and lobbed another snowball, partially made of the ones the small cat-like person threw. She knew she wanted to meet people, but this was well beyond her skills of comprehending in a foreign land such as this. The snow-cannon-ball launched and flew somewhere into the front of the ship this time. She still tried to play along with them, in the hopes that she would better understand this human realm.
