CHAPTER 5
CHAPTER 5
Almost half of the non-fairy population of Aira Niluc is gone.
Some may be feeling the absence of their fellow participants in this story. Others will stay focused on the wish they want to get. What never changes is that the story goes on, bringing you closer to the end -- and to another chapter. What will it bring this time?
Snow!
Snow as far as the eye can see, a cold blanket covering the new area. Some winter amenities are now available, ready for perusal! But that's not all there's to find: everyone also will find reminders of their homes, of people they know, of happier times.
Of their wishes.
Who will try to reach their wish this time?
[[Welcome to Week 5! Feel free to make top levels at your discretion, and remember to note it in your header if you plan on investigating any locations. However, please try to keep investigations to Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday! You can also privately contact Hamelin at your leisure.
In addition, a reminder that any Murder Proposals for this week are due by Tuesday 3:00 PM EST/12:00 PM PST! However, please note that you have the option of submitting murder proposals for a later week as well.]]

Tenn lets out a sigh and squats down so he can try to help him back up. He shouldn't be surprised that this is happening, but somehow, he is?? ]
You didn't break your nose, did you?
no subject
No, thankfully, or I don't know if I'd ever fully recover.
[ Okay, Huaisang is being dramatic here, but he will allow himself to be helped up. Tenn you are a good friend. ]
...But, you said something about finding balance first?
no subject
[ That would've been bad... Tenn helps Huaisang steady himself first, and then: ]
Yes. Try to stand straight on your skates first, and when you think you feel more stable, let me know. I'll show you how to start moving your feet after that. Understood?
no subject
Then he continues to wait some more.
His legs are definitely wobbling like he's afraid he's going to fall over any second. ]
That...might be awhile.
Are you used to all this? You seem well familiar with moving around the ice like that. We have nothing like this in Qinghe even if it does get cold...
no subject
[ This is a very long waiting period, and Tenn's look falls a little flat, but he'll at least give Huaisang a nod. ]
I am. A lot of people where I'm from ice skate for fun. There are professionals who do this, too. It's not easy to do, obviously, but with practice, you'll get used to it.
no subject
It's not something we do in Qinghe. In fact, I haven't heard of anyone doing this at all...
[ Another beat passes. ]
Okay I think I am ready, so...show me?
no subject
[ He looks at Huaisang with a look that reads are you sure, but he ends up just nodding and slowly starts moving backwards. ]
Okay, don't move. Just glide and get used to how it feels.
1/2
...um.
[ He can do this (?) ]
2/2
...
Accidentally takes a step forward and falls down. ]
no subject
[ Oh my god. Huaisang........
Tenn sighs again and will hold out a hand to try to help him up??? ]
...maybe we should take a break...
