sirenspull | Fourteenth Wish -- [Video]

[The view is a little rocky at first, and doesn't seem to point at anything in particular. In fact, it's just open sky right now. But before long, a voice pops up at least, though the owner of the voice doesn't seem to realize just yet that the feed is already on.]

Hm. Do you think this is far enough away that we can get it all in one shot?

[There's a 'hmm' coming from Nelliel, and some of her turquoise-green hair comes into view as the wind blows it in front of the camera.] Maybe we should move back a little more.

Right a few more feet, maybe. [Not much in the view changes at first, except the clouds, giving the impression of movement. When something else does make it into frame, it becomes clear that this video is coming from somewhere up in the air -- because it's looking down somewhat on a snowman. A gigantic snowman, tens of metres tall at the least. Looks like a couple of somebodies have put the excessive snow to good use.]

Aha! There, I think we've got it.

[It's just then that Nelliel opens up her NV and figures out that they're live.] Oh. Ah, yes. It looks like we have been recording for a little over a minute, actually.

Huh? [Checks his NV for a second.] Must've accidentally turned it on while trying to get the good view of the snowman. Oh, well.

[And now he addresses the network directly. He'd been planning on doing that anyway.] Hey, everyone. I know it's been pretty rough out there lately, with the blizzard and those cyborgs. [He's not in frame -- the camera is still pointed at the enormous snowman, towering above a nearby three-storey structure -- but he frowns a little at the latter, knowing who was behind that and that he'd been living in the same place as the guy for weeks. Still, he keeps his tone perky.] Anyway, I thought maybe this might cheer people up. Isn't he awesome? Miss Nelliel and I used up a lot of the snow for him.

[This was a good way to take Nelliel's mind off the cyborg incident. She's still annoyed about it, really, but she had enough fun with this distraction with Gohan that she's feeling a little calmer and happier now. She's never built a snowman before, although she had seen them before on people's lawns. The snowman on the lawn of Nueva Las Noches is far larger than any of those snowmen. She and Gohan made use of the overabundance of snow, and there is now a nearly 70 foot high snowman.]

[[OOC: Backdated to the 22nd. Orange is Gohan, green is Nelliel. Enjoy your giant snowman, Siren's Port!]]

[Have an eyebrow arched in approval... not that it's visible.]

Nice snowman.

[The strange thing is she sounds as though she actually means it.]

[No one can deny the awesome of the 70-foot snowman. Not even Franziska.]

Thanks. Miss Nelliel and I put a lot of work into him.

How did you manage to create him to be quite so... tall?

Oh, we dug out a lot of houses and used the snow from that.

[He just might be missing the point.]

[Indeed, the presence of available snow isn't the problem.]

But what was the process behind... building something of that size?

Well, we rolled the bottom part of it around the yard for as long as we could, then packed on a little more just to even it out. Then we pretty much did the same for the upper sections and just lifted them up on top.

[It's totally a simple process, Franziska.]

But it's at least ten times taller than you are!

[But of course, the answer is obvious to her as soon as she says it: powers.]

Oh, more than ten times, definitely. It's about seventy feet high.

And Miss Nelliel and I are both really strong and can fly. Well, actually what she does isn't technically flying but she can stand in the air. It wasn't too much trouble getting everything in place.

[Now that she's had some time to adjust to the idea, she's unsurprised.]

So, she can hover. It's nice to see that your superpowers are being put to great use.

Sort of. [He wouldn't really call it hovering, either. But he supposes it's close enough.]

Your voice sounds kinda familiar. Are you a friend of Miss Nelliel's?

Yes. [She doesn't even bother with her full-length default answer, which usually includes some manner of 'you could say that' or 'in a manner of speaking.']

Franziska von Karma. And I'm assuming that you are as well...?

[He'd see through the default answer anyway. His best friend at home is an antisocial grump who doesn't like admitting he has friends.]

Son Gohan. [He'd bow in greeting here, but it's voice, so . . .] It's nice to meet you, Miss Franziska. Yeah, I've known her for most of the time I've been here. She took me in after everyone at my old house got sent back.

They were all sent home?

Yeah. Not all at the same time, but eventually they were. One is back now, but he doesn't remember anything from last time he was here.

Well. It certainly is nice of Nelliel to take care of you like that.

Uh, Nel... What're you trying to do, scare away birds?

[Hi there, friend of Nel's! Have a perplexed little boy replying.] Why would we want to scare birds?

Farming, I'm guessing.

We don't grow anything here, though. Except in Miss Ivy's old greenhouse, and obviously that's closed in.

Then you've stumped me.

It was just fun to make it this big, what with how much snow there is.

Well, I've certainly never seen a bigger one.

Definitely the biggest one I've ever made. It's about seventy feet.

Seems like a lot of effort for something that'll melt soon.

[Why so gloomy, Raven?]

But we had fun doing it. That's what counts.

[Why so cheerful?]

If you say so.
