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.

"Yukizaki-san, good evening!" She waved. Toshimi herself had at least decided it had gotten cold enough to bundle up; she was wearing her puffy red-and-gray ski jacket that looked like it was made in the 1980s (because it probably was), although it had never been that great for keeping out the cold.

She looked pleased to see Seiko; maybe her sense of direction would help. But as Seiko spoke her face fell a little; they were both equally lost. She should have figured. Now that she thought of it, Seiko didn't seem like the kind of person who would be good at this sort of thing.

But somebody was better than nobody, at least. "I thought I would be able to figure it out easily," she told the other girl sheepishly. "But all the walls look the same and I've made too many turns to keep track of."

She fished out her cell phone to check the time out of habit, but shrugged. She hadn't actually made a note of the time she entered. "A while. 40 minutes, maybe?" She watched Seiko stomp around. For a second she wasn't sure if the other girl was mad about something but then she realized it was because of the cold. Toshi was wearing thick socks under her sneakers, but her feet were getting on the cold side, too. "It's cold," she stated.

"Have you seen any landmarks, other than the pagoda?" she asked. "It might be nice to get there, but honestly I'd be happy to find the way back to the entrance at this point."

Seiko shrugged. "It is harder than it looks, I thought it'd just be a simple one you know? But they always go all out for the festival." She felt a little better to know that Toshimi had been wandering around almost as long as she had.

"I had been on the verge of calling someone to try to get help out of here, bits of me are going numb."

She rubbed her hands together, as attractive as her gloves were they were not exactly keeping her hands warm. She had hoped maybe Toshimi would have a better idea of how to get out. After all it was pretty clear out of the two of them she was the more logical and down to earth.

"Nothing really besides the pagoda, these walls are pretty high, I tried to retrace my steps back to the entrance but I just ended up even more lost." She frowned. "I guess we just have to keep heading for the center."

"I guess we should start walking," Toshimi said. "Maybe if we stayed along one of the walls..." She started walking along the right wall, although she didn't have gloves, so she didn't actually touch it.

It was true that they had gone all-out for the maze. "I've never seen anything quite like this, actually," said Toshi. After a moment's reflection she added, "Well, in Paradise, once. The atmosphere was totally different, though." And there it was again; another disturbing experience that was just failing utterly to disturb her.

"I don't know," she said, toying with her phone as she walked. "I can usually find my way around just as well as anyone. Wouldn't want to get anyone else lost. Although maybe Sonozaki-san or Sagaki-senpai might be able to figure it out." But she wasn't 100% on the idea of inviting Renju to an ice maze, and what exactly had happened with Seiko and Tom? She looked at Seiko. "Someone else?"

"There's probably a quick way out once we get to the middle," she nodded.
