[AW] EVENT | Do You Wanna Build A Snowman?!

[Adelheid]

Adelheid The once quiet plain quickly transforms into a flurry of motion and overlapping voices as each new onlooker approaches and adds to the commotion the young, cheerful stallion has started. It’s instantly intimidating to the dappled mare, all these unfamiliar faces crowding close, asking questions, making comments, too many to isolate and follow with any accuracy, impossible to learn or memorize for future use, and so few of them say any names to go with the voices! She shakes her head, ears falling out horizontally in either direction as her confidence flounders. Slowly her hooves shuffle backward, carefully extricating herself from the overwhelming stimuli when something altogether different happens, halting her escape. Is this magic? She wonders, staring dumbly at the suddenly very alive and very animated ‘snow-man’ as he laughs and gestures, but the piebald stallion that spent so much time assembling him appears just as surprised as everyone else, scooting a few paces away from the creature and glancing around in obvious alarm. For a moment no one speaks, and the quiet begins to soothe the mares frayed courage. She smiles uncertainly at the snowman, feeling sorry that his joke is so poorly received, only glazed stares and his own raucous laughter answering the punchline. She waits a moment, then clears her throat, thinking that whatever the creature may be, he’s obviously friendly and doesn’t deserve to be treated so inhospitably. ”What does it take to make an octopus laugh?” She posits, stepping forward slightly of the group. ”Ten-tickles!” A half-hearted grin struggles to curve the corners of her mouth up as she casts around the group of complete strangers for some kind of support, her eyes silently begging. ________________ ”speak” @Ipomoea No Matter How Far
