Up in the Trees

Amanda's day has had it's up's and downs. At the monet however she really is going up and down. She is playing in the trees and she looks like she is having a ball. The cold doesn't seem to be bothering her at all right now.

If you like you might be able to scare her into slipping. Afterall she really should be getting work done right now.

The bar's resident snow shuffler is around underneath.

[OOC: yeah opportunity to use new icon that I got from Snow-mun]

The blur of pink catches Amanda's eyes as she is tumbling to another branch. When she gets there she rests on it to get a better look at the figure. It's Snowball. "Hello Snowball." Amanda calls out to her roommate.

[ooc: AWWWWWW!]

Snowball stops and looks around. He looks left, he looks right, then turns arund in a circle.

"Comrade Amanda?"

"Comarade Snowball." Wow, that is going to take her a little getting used to. "I'm up here. Stay put, I'll be right down." Amanda makes her way down the tree. The bottom branch onthis tree is too far up to just jump so she flips off of it and lands as any gymnist would.

[OOC: Must slowtime to get dry cleaning. Be back ASAP]

Snowball moves backwards, startled.

"What were you doing up there?"

The bandage is gone and he is only limping very slightly now.

She looks up, "I was playing. WOrking out really. Practicing." she laughs, "Take your pick. Or perhaps it was all three."

"How can I pick something that already happened?"

She smiles and takes a seat. "Never mind. How is your leg?"

"Hank fixed it with a curious red light. I have to take it easy though."

He holds it up to show her.

She examines it. "It is looking much better. How have you been sleeping? I know I haven't been around much."

"Very well thank you. I am a good sleeper. Occasionally I dream about the dogs, but not too much."

"Yes I suppose there are a few dogs in Milliways. If any of them give you trouble just let me know...Oh, Comrade Snowball. How would you react if you came across a cheetah or manned wolf?"

"Oh no, not dogs here. Jessie and Bluebell's puppies, that were brought up by Napoleon and chased me off the farm. Nearly tore my throat out, and would have done if I hadn't run."

He thinks for a moment. "I could not outrun either of those creatures, so I would have to hope they were friendly, and if not, they would feel the sharp end of my teeth in their jugular veins."

"Oh thats horrible." refering to the dogs. She gives Snowball a hug.

"I was just wondering since there are some patrons at the bar that shape change." She wont say not to be worried because if he ran into one that wasn't Strahan or Sooty there were no gaurunties, "

"But how is that possible? It is most unnatural. I must admit to having run away on seeing a man turn into a bird the other day."

"It's not natural but supernatural. Many people and bein's in this place are magical and can use magic. One of the abilities that some magic users have is to change their forms."

"What is magic?"

Oh dear. Good thing she is sitting down.

"Well I have found that different people define magic differently." It really would be best for him to ask a mage. "Magic is the art that purports to control or forecast natural events, effects, or forces by invoking the supernatural. To give the dictionary definition." Because yes after meeting all the mages and other spellcasers in Milliways she was curious.

Snowball thinks.

"Like meteorology? What does supernatural mean?"

"Not quite like meteorology because meteorology is a science that studies the atmosohere and weather conditions. Magic can affect, change, and create weather conditions that con't be explained by a meteoroligist. And supernatural refers to things that are outside the realm of the natural." She is patient and calm while explaining. She actually finds it rather cute.

As either Lando or Barry said, Snowball brings a whole new meaning to the phrase 'brought up on a farm'.

Snowball thinks.

"Like a god?" he asks eventually, trying to link the new information with what he has heard before."

"God's are the more powerful beings that wield magic. But yes, like a god." she smiles as he seems to be getting it. She starts to breath a little more deeply as she works to keep her blood flowing.

"How does it work?"

Good luck Amanda.

"I don't know. That is a question you should ask someone that uses magic. There will be a number of such people at the Christmas party. I'll try to be sure to introduce you."

"Is it a form of energy?"

He nods. "Thank you comrade, that is very kind."

"From what I have heard that sounds about right."

"Your welcome." she stands up, "I am sorry Comrade Snowball but I think I should be heading inside to warm up."

Snowball nods. "Of course comrade. I shall see you later. Please have a hot drink on me."
