au milieu de l'hiver ♔ j'ai découvert en moi un invincible été

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[wheeeeee, snow! Tamaki is bundled up in his fashionable winter gear and in the middle of constructing a snowman. It actually looks quite good, and he's putting a scarf on it, a rather expensive one that would cost most people a month's rent. Of course he's not really even aware of the value of the thing. He's just having fun, because SNOW!]

Another great commoner's custom, and it doesn't even cost anything!

[he takes a step back, evaluating his work]

[bundled up against the increased cold]

And you didn't put Kuma-chan's face on it...

[this, Kyouya feels, is a mercy to the Plane]

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

I'm not finished!

[he studies the snowman, tilting his head to the side]

I'm stuck between Kuma-chan's face or a raccoon's face.

I know! I'll just make another. This one will be a raccoon and since you're so interested, you can help me make a snow-Kuma-chan!

[he makes the eyes extra large and gives the snowman a lineface. He seems satisfied with this, and steps back again, admiring his work]

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

It needs ears.

[Kyouya is going to be an art critic when he grows up]

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

Of course!

[and he makes two snowballs which he shapes into ears and attaches to the top of the snowHaruhiracoon's head]

How's that?

[Oliver is still wearing the coat he got from Kyouya, as well as a pair of gloves that look like they were made for biking rather than cold weather. he is grinning widely, showing his full approval of this use of the snow]

Nice snowman!

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[that gets a big smile in return]

I think so, too! It's not winter yet where we are, so it's really exciting that we get to come here and experience the snow early.

[stops, taking in Oliver's winter gear]

I like your coat, but your hands must be very cold.

[drops, and returns with proper winter gloves and a scarf and hat]

That will work better!

[oliverplus]

Oh! Uh...cheers. [scratches his head sheepishly before he accepts the items] Sorry, but I'm living in a desert right now. This stuff is hard to find! [gratefully puts the gloves on over his previous ones before wrapping the scarf around his neck. he's going to hold off on the hat for the moment] I'm Oliver, by the way. You?

[ Roxas, who has finally adorned winter gear when coming to the Plane (e.g., longer sleeves and a scarf), sees this! ]

Hey, that's pretty good!

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

I can see you have great taste!

Ah, but one snowman is so lonely. Would you like to help me make another so he can have a snowfamily?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Sure. I made one over in those snowfields a few days ago, so I've already got the practice.

[hostclubmoekko.livejournal.com]

How cute~!! Is it just going to be a snowman or something fancier, Tamaki-san?

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you like it! Do you have any ideas for something fancier, Renge-kun?

[hostclubmoekko.livejournal.com]

Snowman replicas of our hosts would be really cute, I think! It would be hard to make, though, so maybe when winter comes around, we should just arrange for a field of snow to be set up and hire someone to make those! It takes considerable skill to do something that detailed!

...Or, if you just wanted to try the likenesses still in the shape of a snowman, that would be funny, too! Like a little snowman sort of built on the back of a bigger one could be decorated to be Honey-sempai and Mori-sempai!

[lamb_of_gold]

[Mu is watching from a a few feet away, clearly amused by this]

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[looks up and squints for a moment, finally spotting Mu through the fog]

Would you like to join? It's much more fun when there's more than one person involved!

[lamb_of_gold]

I'm afraid I may be too old for such a thing.

[allmarbles.livejournal.com]

[walks up to the snowman and gives it a cute little hat to go with the scarf]

There. Now it's complete.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

It's perfect! You must be an expert at things of this nature I'm sure!

[allmarbles.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure about being an expert, but I've built a few in the past!

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

My Lord, look at all this snow! And the fog, which is a bit more like home. We never seem to get enough snow for me to build snow men any more. I always wanted to but hardly ever had the chance. Would you mind very much if I joined in?

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

How unfortunate! You must join me now. These things are always fun with a friend to help, too!

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

I concur. It's so nice to find someone so genuinely agreeable to the things I believe in.

[with complete disregard for his clothing, Sebastian starts rolling up a snowball, because wheeeeeeee snow]

[maturelildevil.livejournal.com]

[also bundled up in the Hitachiin's latest winter fashion line is a mischievous little devil who's sneaked up behind Tamaki with a small armload of snowballs. and of course, the first one he throws is aimed right at Tamaki's head.]

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[Tamaki sees this out of the corner of his eye, and bends his body to avoid that snowball. Unfortunately, Tamaki's snowman succumbs to the same fate as the vice principal did during the Hitachiin's food fight. The snowball hits the snowman, and a chunk of the snowman's head comes off. Tamaki stares wide eyed and shocked at the snowman, before he turns around to face Kaoru]

You unruly rascal!

[and Tamaki is quickly getting to work now building up his own snowball arsenal]

[maturelildevil.livejournal.com]

[to himself] Awww, he dodged it.

[but since he does have a head start...] Hey, Tono! [he throws another!]
