I FORGOT THE MODJOURNAL PASSWORD SO IT IS SEIKOTIME.
Who: Everyone
What: IBURI SNOW FESTIVAL
When: Around IC 'Christmastime' evening.
Where: Central Iburi
Why: Funtime, slinks! Delicious threading.

Snow had fallen all over Iburi, thin enough to walk through but thick enough to transform Iburi into a 'Winter Wonderland'. The town was heaving for the snow festival, massive lit up ice sculptures took pride of place in the park, ranging from giant replications of famous buildings to contemporary sculptures of popular television characters. Hot food and drink vendors were on every corner and the streets were already thronging with people wrapped up in hats and scarves.

Fairy lights hung from every building and a few of the shops had opened late in the hope of luring in some customers. There was also the promise of fireworks later that night and people of all ages were running around throwing snowballs and making snowmen.

SCULPTURES.

Massive ice sculptures filled the park, including a huge lit up Eiffel Tower, an intricately carved Big Ben and the Statue of Liberty. Over the gate to the park a huge arch had been made, covered in delicately carved roses and vines and lit up in soft greens and pinks.

There were also slightly smaller but just as beautifully made replications of famous people, favourite television characters, though what was gaining the most attention was a huge ice maze with a large raised ice pagoda in the center for those that reached it.

	Toru had broken out the pink scarf for this. In previous years, he hadn't attended the snow festival- it was where the people were, it was scary, he had better things to do. This was the year his excuses broke down and he found himself giving in to curiosity. Now he wandered among the ice sculptures, utterly impressed by the handiwork and the beauty of the spectacle.

Tom was standing, hands in his pockets, he looked up at the statue, biting his lip. He almost wished he'd brought Max. Over the past few days he'd been dragging the puppy around with him, and thought it best to be able to move quickly.

But now he was reminded of home, of the life he'd lead, before personas and before what most of his current friends would call "the crazy." For a moment he felt nostalgic and kind of lonely.

	Kouchisei was impressed by the tower's size and structure; tipping his head back, he showed a level of interest in how far it ascended, till his stomach felt queasy and he had to look elsewhere. The lights were pretty and there was spoken and town noise - crowds and cars - everywhere. "You're been to the Eiffel Tower?" he asked Kiriko. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I've only been to China," he replied, shaking his head. There was something romantic about Paris, he'd heard. Except he didn't know what to think of it without seeing it for himself. Divertingly, he reached for his mobile and put a message on his journal. "Done." He put the phone away. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	THE STREETS. mellow_lellow 2010-12-18 11:18 pm UTC (link)
	Stalls selling many local and national delicacies line the streets, along with stalls selling hot chocolate, tea and coffee. Shops were open some of them having decorated their windows for the event or having special late night sales and promising impossible bargains. (Reply to this) (Thread)
