WINTER VIRUS: And the winner is...

[tripled_mods]

Attack of the Deranged Killer Mutant Monster Snow Goons! is our winning winter virus! (Original description.)

So what does that mean? Snow for everyone, climate-support or not. If it'd normally be raining? It's snowing. If you live in the middle of the desert in the middle of the summer? It's snowing. If you live too far below ocean level for it to snow, it's still snowing! No other consequences to that except for snow, just go have fun in it-- for the first day.

If your character built a snowman/snowoman/snowchihuahua/snowanything, then the next day it will come to life, super pissed and super indestructible like a killer army of, well, psychotic snow monsters. No, you can't warm their hearts with a hot island song, and yes, they are multiplying by building buddies.

This virus will last from December 17th to December 19th, so you've got a full three days of icy terror! Details about the New Years Party will be released toward the end of the virus or right after. That said, it's a pretty open virus, so good luck, good fun, happy holidays, and use this post to plot or ask questions!

Welp. Too bad about that snow horror-terror Feferi made on LOBAF.

Sollux might be needing a place to hang out for a bit.

[unknownrival]

enter into the ranks of people with a revolving door to Issei's house, Sollux

/jiiiii

[thekidsare0kay]

Why is everyone looking at me?

[unknownrival]

Oh, no reason.

[unknownrival]

Issei's home is open as a safe house for anybody. Boundary field protecting against killer snowmen? Aww yeah. And Diarmuid can handle whatever makes it up the stairs.

[mastercosplay]

If Issei doesn't mind a little babysitting he is more than welcome to take in Hiiragi since odds are a wooden sword won't have much of an effect against an army of Pandacats.

[unknownrival]

Welcome to the temple, Hiiragi!

[mastercosplay]

Expect her to dress appropriately...like a monk.

I've made a mention of this on my plurk but should mention it here as well. Yayoi is going to convince Tsubomi to host a snow day party at the Hanasaki Botanical Gardens for the magical girl squad and anyone else who wants to come by for some fun. This place becomes a bastion of safety when the snow goons finally start attacking in the next day, and will be mostly protected by two things:

A. A Legion of Magical Girls and anyone involved

B. Coupe-sama. Don't ask, just go with hit. He's a very powerful legendary fairy.

Anyone who wants to jump in can do so, having got a ride or whatever. I'll be throwing up a log in the Events page if possible.

[shadow_spread]

Technically Sayaka is not one of the magical girl squad yet, but she would love to come by for some fun!

[pikapikapikarin]

Of course! Everyone's invited to this!

[chuanifrinn]

This is going to be one of those Lancer in distress kind of viruses, isn't it? With Lancer creating his own legion of hounds designed to resemble Culann's original hound in his honor. Even if he wanted to he couldn't destroy those beasts so odds are he'll spend half of the virus up a tree until the monster snow dogs decide to knock him out.

Masamori lives in a place with a lot of kids around, so yeah he's going to have a problem, but he'll actually be able to deal with it by putting a kekkai around each snow goon. He can help two or three people on the community in a similar way, buuuut after that he'll collapse from overextending himself. SO. Anyone want to deal with Masa in one way or another?

Anthy will be trying to insist that the snow goons are cute. From the safety of her dorm room where saner heads are ordering her to stay, but still.

If anyone who has a science window from Roxy wants to stumble through Roxy's place and into Michael's loft, I am up for that.

[brokethecamera]

Well Mai's not going to worry about him one bit. No sir.

And by that I mean ALL THE WORRIES.

[shadow_spread]

Would it minimize her worries if he collapses in her world?

And by minimize I mean maximize.

[brokethecamera]

Why yes. Yes it would.

we are terrible people forever and ever

Ravage is so going to be making several snow critters on day one. Probably a bit deformed because he is a cat. Expect him to go "HALP" the next day.

Cindy lives in New York, so snow is nothing different for her this time of year, and she's not the type to make snowmen. She'll probably tell people to cool their tits over the excitement of it snowing.

Rose lives in the desert where it's always hot. She'll be going "WTF" over this. And some of the children in the town she lives it will probably make some snowmen.

[makewayforroze]

Roze will make only a single snowman but she won't know what to do when it comes to life. Neither will the other people in town...

Raenef will make a lot but he has the powers to handle it, at least.

Edgar's not making snowmen. Tay, did you want to plan anything?

...Same question for Sena. I can see them making snowmen as a friendship exercise or something.

[shadow_spread]

Masamori is more than willing to help out Roze!

[makewayforroze]

She'd be grateful for the help!

[structuraldefect]

Kirei wouldn't build a snowman. But... well. Tokiomi and Rin? Probably would. Does that count for tripping the virus condition?

Marceline would make one flat out. Hope they're not immune to the power of rock.

Regulus wouldn't make one, so I guess spniverse!london is a safezone for now?

[starblaze]

Neither Shooter nor Aya will be making snowthings in their worlds. But! If anyone wants either to come over they're both available (well, Aya moreso since she'd wanna harass people for photos/interviews and shit) since both of them can worldhop now.

Shooter'd try to help people hold off the snowthings while Aya would... fly along and take photos and mostly be unhelpful.

[thats_brutal]

... first trolls... now giant snow demons. This is not Nathan's year. XD
