I finally saw it sob so late. also hi bandwagon?

[arendelles]

Sooooo, um. Glad you finally saw it? I know, I know. You can stop being so grumpy about having to wait an extra month and avoiding spoilers now. It's all totally fine now!

And I know it's kind of hard to choose between me and Elsa; I'm...well, I know I'm not really just the spare, but....you know. So, thanks. I don't suppose I can see her here? You said she was here, right? I mean, it's not exactly Arendelle but so long as we're together and she isn't shutting me out that's....that's good. Yeah.

And I'll see if I can't change your mind about taking me to one of these 'games'. I like games! Especially if Elsa wants to play. Oh, do you think they have snow? Of course they have snow. Why don't you have snow? So....we can't build a snowman?

Around? [Elsa smiles, putting one gloved hand to her cheek] I might be.

[arendelles]

Elsa!

[And oh, is that Anna rushing over and possibly maybe awkwardly stretching her arms out for a hug? Maybe. But after so many years, it's natural that she misses Elsa being around. Wants to spend time together to make up for it all, if possible. She's ecstatic to see her older sister again.]

[prettygoodcop]

We're up to our ears in it 'round my neck of the woods, hon. 'Course, it's not the sticky kind on account of it being so dang cold out, but what are ya gonna do?

[arendelles]

Oh. She said that some places it was....pretty bad. But um. That's not....not because of Elsa, is it?

[prettygoodcop]

Oh, no, that's just how it always is. Our theater of seasons going through another act. Not so much snow this time as the cold. Colder than usual, but not the coldest it's ever been.

[arendelles]

Oh. Oh! Well, that's. That's not so bad then? I guess my player is kind of jealous since she has had snow like once outside of skiing and all. Which is kind of hard for me to imagine.

[prettygoodcop]

Well, not just anybody can handle it, ya know. If they could, everyone would live here.

[I mean, why wouldn't they? It's obviously better than everywhere else.]

Elsa's a friend of yours then?

[arendelles]

I guess. It's just that she lives down in the southern hemisphere so it's a lot warmer there.

Elsa is more than a friend. She's my older sister, actually.

[prettygoodcop]

Well, if it helps her any, some folks think it's more trouble than it's worth. And dontcha know I sometimes think that, too, when I've gotta shovel it out of the driveway, or wash all the dang road salt off the prowler.

Oooh. And she can control the weather, can she?

[This isn't said with even a hint of sarcasm. Earnestness is the rule rather than the exception. Not that it should ever in any circumstances be mistaken for stupidity.]

[arendelles]

She's never had to deal with all that so it's still just this sort of wonderland and building snowmen for her really. If she did have to shovel the driveway to get her car out she probably would be spoiled for it though.

She can make it winter, you know, ice, snow?

[prettygoodcop]

Well, there's all the good stuff, too. Snowmobiling, ice fishing - all that fun stuff. Ya take the good with the bad, ya know?

Gosh, that's a heckuva neat trick. Can she do it the other way round, too?

[let_it_go]

My Mundane is going through what she says is "withdrawal", though I have no idea what she's talking about. She says that the "film" is no longer in the theaters where she is and it's making her upset.

[A sigh. Her lip twists a moment into a frown before - ]

You are not "a spare". You're Anna, Princess of Arendelle, and my sister.

I'm not shutting you out again. Not this time.

[A smile.]

[lookingfordragon]

My mun has to wait for the DVD whatever that is...

The game I'm in has snow, it just turned up one day. I've never been able to play in it before without it melting.

[Really giddy about that. Even if she can't aim and just got buried in snow.]

[withthewindandsky]

[Oh Anna. With how this place works and how these people are - where are you from? Does she hug? Would that scare her?

Elsa makes up her mind after a moment and jumps forward in an uncharacteristic move to hug her - and step back. Sheepish after it's done. Look Anna, she did it! She's not doing it wrong right?]

You'll never be a spare, and your mun has excellent taste.

[arendelles]

True. Everything has its good and bad points.

The other way around? As in reverse it? She says she can't, but I believe in her.

[arendelles]

Oh. I guess mine was kind of lucky, but she had to wait an extra month before it came to theaters where she is.

[A pause, and Anna looks to Elsa almost hesitantly at that. 'I'm not shutting you out again'. How many years has she dreamed of hearing that?]

Elsa....you mean it?

[arendelles]

Yeah, my player will probably get it on 'blu ray' when it's out? Why does yours have to wait for that? Did they miss it in the theaters?

Snow! Really? Oh, you'll love playing in it! Making snowmen and skating and sleighs....

[arendelles]

[Her player hasn't entirely decided on a point to take her from. But a hug from Elsa would never scare her. It's what she has wanted for years, to embrace Elsa again after years of distance and solitude, pleading with her older sister to come out and spend time together. She can't help but be thrilled at the brief hug.]

You think so?

[prettygoodcop]

So does that mean you have to wait for spring to come round, or does it stay that way for good?

[arendelles]

Um, well....I'm just. Going to talk to her. See if she can change it back or--we'll figure out something.

[lookingfordragon]

Mun hasn't been to the theatres since she was little, turns out most of them closed or moved years ago. They built a new one not to far from where she lives, so hopefully she'll get to see it.

I'm taking part in a snowball fight at the moment, I'm not very good at it to be honest.

[arendelles]

I see. Hopefully she does.

Maybe I could teach you? You need to get your aim and make them really big! Of course, Elsa always wins our snowball fights, but I'm not too bad.

[prettygoodcop]

Aw, geez. I sure hope so.

How long's it been goin' on?

[arendelles]

I actually think she could kind of always do it? I just never knew until the coronation. But the freezing Arendelle in eternal winter thing is kind of...a lot more recent.

[prettygoodcop]

Aw, geez.

[The inflection of this "Aw, geez" grants it an entirely more urgent meaning than the last one. It's less "aw, heck" and more "Jesus Fucking Christ!"]

Hoping you can help her think this through then. If it's always winter, no one'll be able to eat.
