[Here is a fully bundled Aerith, blue scarf wrapped loosely around her face as she smiles.]

Speed run! Don't try this at home. I'm a professional.

...Not really. But I've been practicing, and I think I'm getting better!

[This is about all the introduction given before the journal gets set down to show wide open sky, but once Aerith throws herself in its direction and sets things into a blur of motion, it quickly becomes apparent what she's doing: enjoying her toboggan present from Christmas. She seems to be quite childishly pleased with herself on the faster runs, and pouts when one bumpy ride ends only halfway down. Finally:]

All right, now for the obstacle course! [Tucking the journal under-arm, Aerith drags the toboggan ba-a-a-ck up. This time she turns it to a different position a few feet away and a very different angle. She starts out more slowly, letting gravity lead the way, and steers the tobaggan around trees and rocks, her expression turning focused as the wind whips back her hair. And then--] Oh, no, no! Move, rabbit, run! Hey--ah--!!!! [After wildly veering, once she hits a fallen tree, Aerith and journal are airborne. Too bad they have to come back down, but at least it's in a snowdrift, right?]

...Mmmf.

[...FEEL FREE TO ACTION IT UP / BE SLEDDING WITH HER? She's on the lower part of the mountain slope, closest to the village. Or just shake your head at her from afar, whatever.]

Oh, yikes. That sounds unpleasant.

Just a little. Hold on.

[...Wrigglin' and a-shakin'... snow falls out! she calls back to the journal:]

Have you ever gone sledding, Buffy?

Never. It wasn't on my to-do list last year and before then, I'd only ever seen snow once before.

How's your to-do list look now? --Oh, wait, you don't like snow. Hmm... [/DISAPPOINT.]
herotypical: [ wtf ; uncertain ] (✝ i was hoping i could just blame you)

[personal profile] herotypical 2011-01-18 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
I could start liking it. Y'know -- briefly, for some fun.

You think so? Yay! [Her face is so bright right now.] Come on out!
herotypical: [ neutral ; snark ; angry ] (} give me half as much)

[personal profile] herotypical 2011-01-18 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Where can I find you?

[identity profile] gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com 2011-01-19 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
I am a little ways out, but it's the mountains closest to the village! [I-insert more specific description here IDEK]

[ eventually -- perhaps in about twenty one minutes -- buffy shows up in full snowsuit regalia. she waves a gloved hand. ]

[Aerith waves back, smiling.] I think you're a biiit over, but I won't count it. Look, it's big enough for two people, see? [Messing with her toboggan.] This must be really fun for kids, I bet three could pile on.
herotypical: (} let go in small doses)

[personal profile] herotypical 2011-01-20 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I can just see all the toboggan-related accidents now. [ but she's smiling, and happily joints aerith by the sled. ] You've done it before, so maybe you should go in front. I mean -- that's where you steer from, right?

[ she looks a little unsure. do you steer a toboggan? buffy doesn't know. ]

Re: [ action ]

[identity profile] gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com 2011-01-20 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I just showed everyone one accident, so we should be good to skip the rest. And that's right! [THIS (http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=sled&hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&tbas=0&biw=1280&bih=503&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=3372567898888870783&ei=oKkPTemFGcWRnwePo_m6Dg&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=result&resnum=6&ved=0CGwQ8wIwBQ#) toboggan is made to steer the mun has no idea about others, and Aerith raps her knuckles on the front.] Maybe... you watch once, then give it a try yourself? I'm sure you'd do fine. Probably better than me.

Right. Consider me your student in sledding.

Time to follow your sledding instructor~ [Back up the hill!]

The place you come from is really warm, right? Midgar had snows, just--not the hills.
herotypical: (} get a little work done)

[ and so she begins the trudge up the hill alongside aerith. ]

I only saw snow for one day, in California.

Must have been a surprise.

It was one of those days stuffed full of all kinds of things. The snow ended up almost...incidental.

Re: [ action ]

[identity profile] gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com 2011-01-24 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
All kinds. Sounds hectic.

[She puts the toboggan down, fussing with it a bit to get it at juuuuust the right angle.]

So -- Aerith. What have you been up to other than crashing your sled?

[ action ]

[identity profile] gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com 2011-01-24 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
The usual, you know--taking care of the flowers? And, um, a lot of riding my sled, actually. But I usually don't crash it! [She smiles at that, but it fades as she looks down at the sled, fiddling with it.]

You know something? The mountains are the farthest out I've been from the village so far. I figured I tried my hand at the barrier last time I was here, but what if I didn't? I should try it. Even if it probably won't work, there's always a small chance.

I think we all try the barrier at some point.

No harm in trying. [Alll riiiiight we are hopping on this sled, in the front!] Like this!
