The sun silently beats down on the grounds, waves of heat radiating off of everything. But then, a soft rumble begins. It grows louder and louder, starting in the mountains and crashing down down down until a great roaring avalanche of snow arrives...
The calm returns but the blistering heat is gone. "How's that, Autor?" Mia asks.
The boy smiles shyly at her, his warm, knitted scarf demonstrating a clear gradient of skill from raw novice to advanced beginner. "It's lovely," he says, squeezing her fingers in his gloved ones. "Thank you, Mia." Releasing them, he turns and places a hand on his hip to watch the next step.
At the mouth of the inlet a narrow cliff juts out into the water, covered by a thin layer of soil to which a mat of short grass is clinging, littered with demon bunny droppings. On this ledge, Korra stands, her feet planted firmly against the ground. Starting with that wide stance, Korra moves a foot and then pushes her arms in front and up, causing the lake bed to shift, and the waters to part as a narrow ledge of earth divides a smaller pond away from the larger lake.
Turning into the inlet, she leaps onto the surface and slides out into the center on a shelf of ice that stretches out in larger and larger crystals as it thickens beneath her. In the center of what will be the ice rink, Korra stops, and takes one calm, centering breath.
And then with her eyes closed she moves again, this time much more fluid in her motions, turning a slow circle on the ice with her arms in front of her, swaying as her weight shifts from foot to foot. A bubble of water rises in front of her, and as she pushes out, the bubble expands, passing through Korra so she's standing in the center of an ever expanding air filled bubble of water, stretching further and further out so by the time it hits the shore any onlookers will feel the cool sensation of water vapor from a fountain. She shifts her movement again, and the snowflake patterns of ice crystals appear at the top and the spread around the bubble, crystallizing and solidifying in a lattice of clear ice.
Then Korra opens her eyes, and finishes the rink as she slides back to the shore. There, a further turn and a sweeping gesture towards one side shatters a large hole in the side, perfect for a double door.
"Neat trick, Avatar," Autor says, accompanied by a saucy grin and an informal salute. With a few simple words, Mia sets a flurry fluttering down in the dome.
Once the rink is complete, the boy heads off to help an industrious ten-year-old set up the food and drinks table. There are some things too heavy for Rae to lift.

Re: Ice Rink!
Re: Ice Rink!
She examines one of the loosened wheels. It immediately pops off its axis.
"Awwwww.... I hope Bar has something to fix that with."
Re: Ice Rink!
Re: Ice Rink!
Really Scootaloo you ought to do something about your habit of acting before thinking. Then you wouldn't have loose wheels.
"Guess I should go get the tools and fix it out here."
Re: Ice Rink!
Re: Ice Rink!
Scootaloo just got an Idea.
Without preamble, Scootaloo loosens and removes the other two wheels from her scooter, grabs them all up, and finds some place to put them.
Then dashes into the bar to get a pair of blades, tools and a set of instructions from Bar.
"Why didn't I think of that?" she says, fixing the first of the blades onto the bottom of the scooter. "This'll be wicked awesome!"
Re: Ice Rink!
"I bet it will!"
He's going to hover nearby, though, just in case.
Re: Ice Rink!
Hoof magnets. Lots and lots of hoof magnets.We're not sure how it's done either.
Now done, she examines the underside of the scooter.
Yeah, they look good and secure.
Off to the rink to give it a test run.
"If this works, I'm getting a second scooter just so I can have one with skates on it."
Re: Ice Rink!
Wait. That's already a word.
Re: Ice Rink!
She places the modified scooter back on the ice.
"Maybe it'll come to me while I'm riding it."
Firing up her wings, she's off like a rocket.
The chaos that ensues is a lot more controlled now that she's got blades not wheels.
"WOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
Re: Ice Rink!
Re: Ice Rink!
Whizzing this way and that, and nearly sending one skater crashing to the ice for the fifty-sixth time today, Scootaloo is making an important discovery.
The best obstacle courses are the ones where the obstacles themselves move.
"WOOOOO-HOOOOOOO!"
Re: Ice Rink!
Re: Ice Rink!
"Okay," she says, skidding to a stop and sending a shower of ice shavings in the opposite direction. "I've gotta get me another scooter to skate with. This is just too cool. But I don't know where I'll get enough bits for it."
Ponyville is a bit short on paying events for the younger set at the moment.
Re: Ice Rink!
He's pretty sure she doesn't mean units of binary data.
Re: Ice Rink!
Clearly not on the same page.
Re: Ice Rink!
Context, Enzo, examine the context. "Oh. So that's, like, your currency?"
Re: Ice Rink!
"Curr. Currrrr... Oh. You mean money? Yeah. Bits is money."
Re: Ice Rink!
Possibly the most straightforward currency ever.
Re: Ice Rink!
She examines her modified scooter.
From the looks of it, the biggest expense will be in buying a second scooter. She's already got the blades, and can pay for them easily enough.
"How does one get money here?"
