Tales Of Winter: Snowfall

[Jing]

The bright morning sun reflecting off of the snow was only that much brighter as the clouds cleared it's path allowing each and everyone of its rays to glint from the snowy scene that was Nevil park. Each time you passed the spectacle it seemed as if it gained even more beauty then the previous time. This was the town of Rien Grad, every winter.

Snow flakes seemed to glisten softly to the ground as the snow began to fall. It wouldn't be long before the entire town was covered in a thin layer of beautiful snow. Schools were shut down, businesses closed, and even the local police force took a day off. It was the most beautiful day in the history of man kind. No problems, no crime, just people coming together in peace and playing. It is said that on that day, the entire town reveled in a snow ball war in the school field, That was over 100 years ago. There hasn't been a day like it since. It was called the day of snowfall, Every year now, the town gathers in the school football field in November for the Annual town snowball fight. It has become nothing short of a tradition. Everyone participates, there have not been any problems to date on that day. It is a day of joy, compassion, and adults reliving their childhood times. This is Rien Grad.

Name: Luca Spears

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Bio: Luca is a rather shy kid when it comes to girls. Even more so when it's girls he likes. He hasn't participated in the snowball fight ever really, he usually just sits by the sidelines and watches other people do it. His thing is more of recording what happens, and how silly it looks then actually participating. Though given the right motivation he would probably join in, he isn't much of an athlete. Usually he sits at home writing his poetry when he isn't in school, he doesn't really have that many friends either. He has his mind set on waiting for that one special someone that is able to move him from this trance he has stuck himself in. someone who can make him do things he wouldn't usually do.

Most of the time however he gazes out the window, not focused on writing poetry. The ideas come to him, and the snow is his inspiration. It snows nearly year round in Rien Grad which makes for a good setting for most of his inspiration. However , inspiration for some of his poems comes from simply thinking about one girl in particular. All he is out to do is make a friend. Just one friend. Thats all he wants.

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Bio:

Majime is a young shinigami with a lack of interest. She lives alone in a small appartment at the edge of down. People often look at her as different, because of how she lives, rarely coming out. Maj wishes for a person who can make her happy...though she doesn't believe that she will find one. Or who knows, perhaps she will? She is a very lonely creature, who doesn't take part in much of anything...not the town snowball fights. Though long ago...she was present at one...just watching quietly. The snow is one of the mysteries of earth that confuse her. At her previous home it snowed ash...but in the town of Rein Grad...beautiful lace flakes of pure white fall from the sky with a chilling cold. Majime enjoys just watching it..from afar. She can be quite out-going and fun when you get to know her...maybe she'll actually take part in the snow firght..sometime.​

Because of her difference in species, she doesn't have many friends...she gives off a sort of strange aura...and keeps to herself. Majime acts much like what her name means, "reserved." But as said before she can get a little crazy at times. Majime has no parents nor family...but she still survives..."Be My Escape."​

Appearance:

Bio: The town of Rien Grad had recieved but a spectacle of a being rising within his pulpit. The name of Hekikuu given that name by his mother meaning azure sky. Eyes filled with hope, he sees the snow for means of communication with those who roam on it. With each dropping snowflake, a grain or moment in time passes with something he has done or could've done. More into his background he excells in his core academic courses, and is decent with conversation but has trouble with eye contact. Most often not, Hekikuu lets his tension get the better of him and he submits to a timid nature.

He sees the others that are capable of better communication than his own lucky. By the window on the second floor on the right side of the Rien Grad High School he would sit everyday even with the snowfall. As his selfless desires have often gotten him nowhere he strides to be an open-minded soul to fight one person to hold dear. Yet this comes to an immpossiblity everynow and again when words escape without being spoken.

Gender : Female
Appearence :

Bio :

Isabelle has just arrived to Rien Grad. The town seems perfect in her eyes, she has never seen such a beautiful snowy scenery so It’s just a dream place for her.

She is a bright girl who loves to laugh and have fun. Being curious and outgoing she gets along with everybody and the most important thing for her is to make as many friends as possible.

Isabelle is used to be the new girl in town because she has lived in many places since she was a little girl. She actually enjoys the fact that she never stays long in a place because she loves meeting new people. Yet, this time she feels like she found her place in the world, the place she had searched all her life. And what she wants right now is to find new friends in town. Friends that make her feel at home for the first time in her life.

(Um wow... so many people on only the second day. I guess we can start.)

Luca grabbed his snowboard, heading out to the hills at the base of the mountain beyond the town. It was still snowing outside, however it was lighter now then it had been the previous day. He slammed the door to his house, putting on his jacket as he left the house and head for his destination. So many things were running through his head. How good would the ride be today, would there be anyone else there, was today the day he would get hurt horribly, or maybe it would just be a perfect day. No one there, light snow, and a perfect ride. As he trudged through the snow he sighed, putting his goggles on and beginning his march up the hill. The hill was not far from his house, only about a quarter mile down the street beyond an open field on the right.

As he neared the top he began to feel a sense of happiness for the first time in his life. He was alone, it was snowing, and most of all he was about to do what he loved to do. Ride down Lip hill. Lip hill was a level 3 ride, an intermediate ride. It was what Luca loved do do, though sometimes he enjoyed the challenge that a level 5 like mount stick posed to him. Snowboarding was his life during the winter, poetry was just half of it. He had already written about 4 poems that day and was working on another when he decided it was time to take a break.

The wind swept through his long hair, blowing it behind his face as he stared down the hill, looking out over the beautiful sight of Rien Grad. The little town was breath taking, almost that you nearly suffocated from it's beauty. there was nothing like it for miles around, in Luca's eyes it was perfect.

He pushed off, beginning his decent down the hill, speeding fast and leaving cuts in the snow drifts he crossed. It was exhilarating.

A butler rushes through the mantion in a hurry, "Lady Mizuki are you here?" Called the butler with worry. The Butler was so wrapped up in his worries he bumpped into one of the Maids.
"Ah, so sorry, Here let me help you up." Siad the Butler as he help the Maid up.
"Why so worry, Mr.Gno?" Asked the Maid as she dusted her self off.
"Its Lady Mizuki, She seems to have wonder off again. That Girl is gonna miss her lessons." Siad the Butler as he rubbed the sides of his head as if he's having a headache.
"Lady Mizuki is always the wild Spirit, one. She might have wonder into Rien Grad." Siad the Maid.
"What!? Oh dear, I must go and get the car, Lady Mizuki is far to Delacted for the City." Siad the Butler as he ran off.
The Maid Sighed and went back to her job.

Mizuki a Young girl of 18 wasn't in the city this time she was near the hills that was close to the city. Mizuki was standing on a hill top watching the Silent snow fall, she smiled as she took in the sight before her. "Its so cold but I love it." Siad Mizuki as she took in a deep breath.

 

[Lalaith]

Isabelle was walking through the snowy streets, a smile of contentment on her features. It was such a beautiful morning; she could feel the cold wind messing her hair and and she put her gloved hands inside her pockets. Her breathing was coming out in small clouds as she walked slowly through the white streets.

She was completely lost in thought, she had arrived two days ago and she was already sure that Rien Grad was the place where she wanted to live for the rest of her days. It was a small and beautiful town, people were nice and she felt really comfortable there. It was not like all those big cities where she had lived with her mother. A shadow of sadness crossed her features as memories haunted her mind.

Her mother had always liked to travel due to the fact that he was a writer and, even though Isabelle liked travelling, she missed someone who really cared about her. Her dad had died when she was 10 and her mother had hidden herself behind work. Isabelle had soon learned to take care of herself.

She shook her head wanting the sad thoughts to go away, everything would be better now, she was in the perfect place at the perfect time of the year and she was going to enjoy each moment of her life from now on.

Isabelle looked around and noticed that she had reached the end of the town, she was in an open field near the base of the hills. She nearly laughed with joy at the sight. The hills were simply breathtaking and she took a deep breath, enjoying the cold air. Everything seemed perfect in the peaceful silence.

She looked up the hills, still smiling; the snow was so white that it almost blinded her. And she blinked a couple of times, too amazed to avert her eyes from the hill. It was then that she noticed that someone was up there, it was a boy. She tilted her head, putting one hand over her eyes as she took a few steps forward. He sure was good at snowboarding and the mere sight was making her dizzy; heights and speed were not for her. She just stood there secretely admiring him as he kept going unknowing of her presence.

 

[Jing]

Luca felt himself begin to slip, cutting right hard as there was a large rock coming his way. He barely missed it, clipping the bottom of his board and sending him tumbling for a moment. He was able to slow to a stop at the bottom of the hill, brushing himself off and turning around, heading back for the top of the hill.

His feet seemed to feel a bit numb but for him that was normal. Especially on a day like today when he was out snowboarding. He felt so good when he was alone, he didn't have to impress anyone, he didn't have to put on some kind of act. He could just be himself. The climb back to the top of the hill took all of three seconds as to he was running as fast as he could to the top of the hill again. He stood up on his board again and pushed off, this time starting out a bit slower then the other times. Something was diffrent. Looking down he noticed a bend in his board. His contact with the rock had been more severe then had given it credit for. He got off his board, kicking it up a little further on the hill" Not again" he said to himself examining it closly" I don't have the money for a new board dammit" He threw it on the ground and stood up, knowing fully well it was destroyed. Looked like snowboarding for him this season was over.

HE walked over and laid down in the snow near a higher point on the hill. he just kept looking at the sky now, hoping that an opportunity would arise for him to get a new board. His family always had been kind of on the poor side. sure they had a house, a two stories house at that, but they didn't have money to fix small things like his board. He sighed, closing his eyes and thinking about things. For the moment he felt as if he was being watched. He didn't mind however, he was just sitting there now anyways. He felt a small pain on his knee and looking down noticed that it too had been damaged. He didn't care however, threw some snow on it, and laid back down.

Majime smiled at the sight of another dreary day. The snow falling from the sky seemed like a small remniscent peace. Her legs quivered as she jumped from her bed, yawning and stretching. She made her way to the bathroom where she dressed herself in a purple and white kimono. When done dressing and finishing her morning tasks, Majime left the house.​

Majime made her way down the sidewalks to a small cafe called Pure, where she ordered a warm cup of hot chocolate and sat down. She stared into the damp, snow stricken streets, sighing. Majime had been in the human world for almost 3 years now...and was beginning to grow familiar with it. The rainy spring, warm summer, blissfull fall, and cold winter...all an interesting thing to a Shinigami such as herself. Before she came to Rein Grad she had been living in a hot, dry, sinister desert...a grave yard...practicly. She sat there drinking her coco...and staring into the abyss of the cold city.​

The office room was quiet this evening. Most of the employers had decided to take their sick days for this day. Those who had stayed were spread out to the individual areas of the company. This did not matter to Vanier, not at all. For he was the head of all the company, and his place was alone in this office. He sat there, the lights dim, his face lit by the computer screen in front of him, as he typed away at his next project.

"I've been working three days straight now." He thought to himself. "Even I need a break sooner or later. The deadline isn't for another couple of weeks." Vanier got up and looked out the window of his large company. Yes, he was but 19, but already he owned all of this. Vanier looked down to the hills at the edge of the city, and saw a girl watching the snowfall. He looked closer and noticed she was the head of the gaming company he provides technologies for. Vanier turned and saw his secretary was already at the desk.

'I have your coat ready sir.'

"Good, I'll just be out for a walk, I'll return later." Vanier grabbed his trenchcoat (form his picture) and walked to the elavator and out to the street a few moments later. He headed for those same hills, because the view was nice from there, as he was sure his business partner was thinking the same.

Mizkui Yawns as she felt relaxed, "Okay, time to explore some more." Siad Mizuki full of energy. Mizkui turn towards the forest behind her the cool Winter air blew her hair. Mizuki giggled and flip her hair back.

Mizuki enter the forest and looked at the Snow covered trees around her. As she looked at the sparkling snow on the Green Trees Mizkui gave a big smile, "Wow, soo pretty." Siad walked throught the forest.

Mizuki came to a clearing and sat on a stump there, She daydreamed as the nature around her was pure and white.

An open window with a figure sitting in it from the Rein Grad Memorial Highschool. Normally the school was closed yet someone sat in the window. Dressed in an all black school uniform he sighed as he was watching the snow fall down flake by flake. Silvery eyes watching them nonchallantly in the drift he was watching the town. Silence would be an understatement being that the roads were still being plowed even in the though it continued to trickle down carelessly. It warmed him to see them attempt but it would be in vain seeing as it would be back to the same within the hour.

"I've never been so bored..."

He let out his breath and sighed now standing up on the rail protruding from the school. His foot slammed onto the fire escaped and it began to slide down with him riding it to the snow surfaced ground. His foot steps were swift as they left marks of his presence across the courtyard. Thoughts befuddled he stopped to stare up at the school flag just for an instant, stricken with stillness he couldn't stop watching it wave in the wind.

 

[Katsu]

Majime left the money for the drink and walked outside. She lifted her hand catching small, detailed snow flakes within her palm...they melted instantly, and she felt a chill run down her spine. For a few moments Majime stood still and silent in the street just watching each special flake and thinking. She'd never seen such a sight...
​

"Amazing beauty this earth has...If only I could have ventured here sooner..." Says Majime as she walks down the side walk.​

She inserts her hands into her pockets and sighs. Watching her breath in the cold air - perfect puffs of heat. Majime laughs a bit and continues on her way with no particular destination.​

 

[Lalaith]

Isabelle just stood there watching the boy, she didn’t know why, she just did. Maybe it was because she felt fascinated by that kind of sport even though she’d never tried it; or maybe it was because she was new in town and was eager to meet new people. The fact remained that it didn’t even cross her mind to go back home.

As she stood there, lost in time and space something happened that made her heart almost stop in shock. The boy barely missed a rock and she put her hand on her mouth refraining to scream. And she sighed in relief when he finally stopped and lay down on the snow, that was starting to look dangerous.

It was then that Isabelle snapped back into reality and smiled to herself wondering what he would think of her if he found out that she had been watching him the whole time. She shook her head and laughed, it sounded strange even to herself. But that was how she was. She just acted the way she wanted without caring about what other’s thought of her. Her heart and mind were free.

A cold breeze messed her hair again and she put a strand behind her ears, shivering from head to toe. It was getting really cold over there but Isabelle wasn’t one to give up easily. She was there and he was there, she had nothing to lose. Those were her thoughts as she started her way up the hill with only one thing in her mind. She might as well get a new friend.

 

[Jing]

Luca heard someone walking up the hill where he had been, the light sound of snow crunching underneath someone's feet grew louder as the sound grew closer. He kept his eyes closed, thinking it was probably someone who had saw him snow boarding, or one of the usual snow boarders coming to ride. He rubbed his knee, allowing the red snow to fall from it. His knee wasn't bleeding that badly, just enough to look bad. The same thing had happened many times before, only his board had not been injured. He glanced over at the board once again, seeing the tip of it bent outward, a piece chipped off of it. That must have been what cut his knee open. The sound of footsteps grew ever closer.

He opened his mouth to say something, closing his eyes again as he felt he knew the person, or didn't care to know them" .. If your coming to ride then go right ahead, I'm done for the day so i wont get in your path" his words came out kind of depressing. But of course, the fact that he was not able to buy a new board was rather depressing unto himself." But watch out there is a rock down there near the bottom, tore my board up along with my knee." He kept his eyes closed, hearing the footsteps extremely close to him. Did the person not here what he had just said? Was it not getting through to them?

The snow was beginning to fall harder now, he was going to have to be home in about 6 or 7 hours, It seemed like such a long time to spend alone in the snow, but it was his normal life. Tearing his board up on the first run had single handedly made this one of the worst days this year.

Luca could feel the snow falling on his knee, each flake seeming to singe the wound as it remained open. He sighed and dropped his hands to the ground, pulling the one over his eyes off, his eyes however remaining closed. There was just something different about today however. It felt different then all the other days. It felt rather good. Even though he had destroyed his board beyond repair, and cut his knee open, he had a weird feeling inside of him. He didn't know what it was but it felt good, he wished he could keep it forever.

 

[Lalaith]

((Hmm, I think I'll post now... let me know if I'm posting too many times, lol.))

Isabelle kept walking up the hill enjoying the peaceful silence; it was something she was not used too. It felt so good to be in a quiet place for once, the only sound she could hear was her steps on the snow and her heavy breathing. She looked up to the place where the boy was and smiled inwardly, she was feeling elated that morning and she couldn’t even explain why. She just was.

When she was almost reaching him the boy talked all of a sudden making her jump slightly. For a second she pondered if she should get back, what if he just wanted to be alone. And after all who was her to break the silence in that undisturbed white paradise.

Yet she kept walking until she was only a few steps from him; something was pulling her to move forward. Isabelle glanced at the board and then at the wound in his knee, it looked bad and she bit her lip worriedly. She was starting to feel terrible with the whole situation; she had been just down there, secretly admiring his skills while he got hurt.

She pulled a strand of hair away from her eyes feeling that she needed to say something to make him feel better. But she was unsure of what to say; for the first time in her life she actually didn’t know how to start a conversation. She just looked at him for a short while trying to find some comforting words and gathering the courage to speak them out loud.

“You’re good, you know?” she said at last, smiling as she looked down on him “I’m so sorry your board is broken…” she paused a second, still breathless from the walk “Well, I didn’t come here to snowboard.” she laughed at the mere thought “I’d probably kill myself in the first attempt. If you really want to know…” she took a deep breath while gathering her thoughts “Well I… I was just taking a walk and saw you snowboarding here so… I just thought I might join you.”

Isabelle fell silent for a short while, just feeling the snowflakes falling gently on her skin and started trembling. It was even colder up there but she didn’t really care.

“Anyway you should take care of that wound or it’ll get worse.” she whispered sitting down next to him.

 

[Reiku Rinsagi]

Vanier got to where he had seen the girl, to find her gone. He looked to see her skirt disappearing intot the forest. He followed slowly, in hopesto talk to her about his project, and even have time to chat with her a bit. They had never really gotten the chance, with their jobs over working them. He takes a look back at the view of the snow fallen city, it's skys darken clouds dropping thousands of ice crystals onto the buildings and skylines. It was like the city had come to a peaceful still. Vanier looked back into the forest and followed the gil to whereever she was. He came to the bushes of the clearing and rustled them accidently, most likely alerting anyone around.

 

[Jing]

Luca was surprised, caught off guard by the voice which came from the person. He had not expected it to be a girl. after all, a girl would never talk to him. They simply had no reason to. Luca rustled around a little bit, situating his seat in the snow, the took his arm off his eyes, rolled down his pant leg and opened his eyes again." It'll be fine, it happens all the time.." Luca looked over to see the girl, She looked different however. He had never saw her anywhere in town before.

Rein Grad didn't get many visitors. Yes it was the only link between the city and the urban sludge pile that was Raguen industrial complex, however most of it's visitors were only passing through on their ways to work. this girl however said that she was taking a walk, which implied that she lived around the town. The thing is that the last visitor before this girl, was the man who started the snowball festival.

" I am sorry you had to witness such a bad run, had my board not been broken i would show you how to ride this hill...but obviously from the looks of things, it is broken" he sighed a little bit" .. oh.. and My name is Luca, i don't really talk to too many people, so sorry if i don't know who you are. " he pushed a smile" you do have a point though i probably should get that fixed up" Luca's leg was now streaking blood down his calf and out onto the snow beneath him" ... sorry we had to meet under such rushed circumstances, but i should probably be getting home" Luca lost his balance a little bit on his injured leg, dropping to the ground for a moment" ... or maybe you could help me get back home.... seeing as how.. ow.. well it would help a lot" he pushed a smile grabbing his leg and beginning to walk down the slope slowly.
