EVENT : Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

[caffeinified]

Starting a week before Christmas and into the new year, snow will start to fall. Amazingly enough, the city of Itinere never truly becomes snowed in. The snow continues to fall, but it remains in pristine perfect condition on the ground and in the air. One might even call it a picturesque gift from those who allowed people into the city. If you were dreaming of a white Christmas, you got one. The city is even decked out in garland and lights and ribbons and bows. The town square has a massive Christmas Tree that towers over the city. Don't ask how many lights it took to decorate it, no one knows.

Tis the Season, Itinere.

As with most things in Itinere, there's always a darker side. What would be the fun in a straight forward snowfall effect, after all? Build a snowman. Take a sled ride. Slip and slide in the wintry goodness. Catch snowflakes on your tongue. Wait. Hold the presses. Anyone who ingests the snow in any way will find themselves anywhere from unable to tell a lie to completely unable to stop over-sharing on everything. The effectiveness of the snow will vary from person to person. The amount of time the person is infected will vary too. Our gift to you: the special snow.


ooc: The snow will stop falling and melt away by the end of January. As always, feel free to create your own adventures with this snow either in this post or make your own post in the IC comm. There is a plotting post HERE if you want to make use of it. Also, be sure to look at the post anyway for ooc information you need to know.

"It's... a long story," Prim says with a sigh. "The Capitol and the Districts weren't happy with each other. The Capitol had such a strong hold over the Districts. Anyone who acted out was punished. Starvation was common, at least in our District. Then Thirteen reappeared and it was... more like a war, I guess."

She realizes she's saying a bit more than she usually would and so she stops, frowning.

It did sound like it was a long story, much longer than what little Prim told her. But even with that little bit of information, Claire's features turn to something with hesitant distaste. "I have no idea what you're talking about with districts and thirteens and all that but the starving and punishment sounds terrible."

She cants her head to the side. "So you came here from a society at war?"

Prim nods, wanting to stop talking, but finding herself unable to. It's like the words keep tumbling out no matter what she does.

"Yes. The rebellion turned into war against the Capitol. I guess it was a matter of time and it's better to overthrow President Snow while we can... But I still don't like how many people are getting hurt."

Like Katniss. And Peeta. And their entire team.
