[Hangout] The Ice Palace: Come and chill
 

It seems some of our beloved NPCs have found something rather interesting on the outskirts of town this year: A luxurious Ice Palace.

~ Let's take a closer look, shall we? I bet it would make a super cool hangout. . .

Slowly they come across the once green meadow, not sure what to think of this strange, mysterious structure. One among them with a pure heart and true love of the season breaks the awed silence.

http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/d5...e49c754a1d.pngCecilia : WHOA! This is so COOL! Let's go exploring!
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/06...f92d6e886c.pngJeryck: Hang on, dear! Indeed, it is the very definition of cool, but I'm not so sure that we should go in there.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/1a...f360d12451.pngAimee: I'm up for exploring! Like, it's literally Brr out here!
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/06...f92d6e886c.pngJeryck: . . . Not helping.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/1a...f360d12451.pngAimee: Oopsie! Sorry.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/4d...406d423e2d.pngEmilio: I told you to go for function instead of fashion. *smirk*
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/1a...f360d12451.pngAimee: I'm going to totally pretend I didn't hear you say that.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/d5...e49c754a1d.pngCecilia : You guys!! Do you think snow faeries made it? Ooh! Or maybe a YETI PRINCESS!
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/06...f92d6e886c.pngJeryck:: I can't truly speak for who did or did not.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/d5...e49c754a1d.pngCecilia : *pouts* But grandpa, I thought you knew everything!
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/06...f92d6e886c.pngJeryck:: Not in this case, dear.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/0a...0fbe62ddc9.pngMagnus: But, just how did this all get here? Something this size doesn't ordinarily appear overnight.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/20...ec340b12bc.pngLise: I have my suspicions.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/e4...743fb14a25.pngNalin: We shouldn't linger. Something about this makes me uneasy.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/1a...f360d12451.pngAimee: Oh for goodness sake, let's just knock already! Before I'm the most fashionable Popsicle in the forest.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: Oh! I wasn't expecting you so soon Lise.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/1a...f360d12451.pngAimee: Hmm? Lise, huh... Been holding out on us huh girl?
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/20...ec340b12bc.pngLise: [blush]
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/d5...e49c754a1d.pngCecilia: Mister Magic!!!
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/06...f92d6e886c.pngJeryck: How do you know him Cessy? Do we have to have the stranger danger talk again? Wait you made this? Impressive.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: Yes, I had wanted it to be a surprise but it seems I underestimated Menewshan curiosity. Please do come in from the cold.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/1a...f360d12451.pngAimee: You don't have to ask me twice dark and handsome. Hi I'm Aimee.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/4d...406d423e2d.pngEmilio: . . .
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/1a...f360d12451.pngAimee: This is my boyfriend Emilio. And that quiet guy back there is Nalin our local florist.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/e4...743fb14a25.pngNalin Hello.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: A pleasure meeting all of you. And it's nice to see you again young Cecilia. Please follow me.

Demetri leads them down the corridors to a large open area. It's decorated in all manor of ice sculptures and at it's center sat a long rectangular table.

http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/d5...e49c754a1d.pngCecilia: Are you going to do more magic tricks in here?
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: Perhaps a bit later.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/d5...e49c754a1d.pngCecilia: Awesome!
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/0a...0fbe62ddc9.pngMagnus: It's quiet the set up you have here Demetri.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: Thank you, it's based on my home in the Shadowlands. I miss it. Its very bright here, and -
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/0a...0fbe62ddc9.pngMagnus: Do you mind if I ask you a few questions? Oh I'm Magnus -Long time friend of Lise.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: A pleasure Magnus. Do feel free to ask me anything. I want to get to know all of Lise's friends.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/0a...0fbe62ddc9.pngMagnus: Just how do you know her again?
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri:That's a rather long story.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/1a...f360d12451.pngAimee: We're SO listening!!

http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: Would you care for a beverage? Hot cocoa perhaps?
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/d5...e49c754a1d.pngCecilia: Yes please!


http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/e4...743fb14a25.pngNalin: Euphorbia pulcherrima -How lovely.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: Poinsettia? Yes they were one of mothers favorites. She, much like Lise, had a fascination with the light realm. She was always collecting new flora and bringing them back to our world. Of course they never could survive in the shadows, and died within a week. However she kept the dried blooms all the same. Father was good to entertain mother's many oddities those days.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/e4...743fb14a25.pngNalin: As a gardener I find that very disturbing.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/1a...f360d12451.pngAimee: Alright spill! what's the deal with you and Lise?
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/4d...406d423e2d.pngEmilio: Dude.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/1a...f360d12451.pngAimee: What?
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: It all started with a story of two nations.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/1a...f360d12451.pngAimee: Go on. . .
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/d5...e49c754a1d.pngCecilia: This is going to be good! *giggles*

http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: A long time ago when I was still a boy my father was under the threat of war from the Ice Realm.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/d5...e49c754a1d.pngCecilia: Ice realm?
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri:Yes there are many realms in creation. My shadowlands and your world are mere snowflakes in a Blizzard of existence.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/06...f92d6e886c.pngJeryck:I'm familiar with such things from my studies. I've even been to a few of them in my youth.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: The people from the Ice Realm are restless war bringers. Hearts so cold even their skins appear to be made from crystalline ice structures. They follow a powerful Ice Witch. She is absolute ruler of that land.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/0a...0fbe62ddc9.pngMagnus: Interesting, but I don't see what that has to do with how you and Lise meet.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: Well as I was saying at the time my father was on the brink of declaring war. -As such he started closing all border crossings and portals of entry, displacing some of the nomadic magic tribes in the process that crossed between shadow and ice. One of these tribes was Lise's.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/1a...f360d12451.pngAimee: Wait, so you're...a prince?
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: Yes, I'm sorry if that wasn't clear. I like to travel among the many realms and tend to keep a low profile for my own protection as well as my peoples. Since you're all friends of Lise I trust this information is safe.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/4d...406d423e2d.pngEmilio: Safe with me.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/e4...743fb14a25.pngNalin: Ya, no worries here.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: Good.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/d5...e49c754a1d.pngCecilia: So, If your a princey how come you wanna marry our Lisey? Shouldn't there be a shadow princess for you to marry?

http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: Out of the mouths of babes. I see why you like her Lise. However, have you truly never revealed to your full heritage to your friends? Or anything about us for that matter?
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/20...ec340b12bc.pngLise: [blush] Well, to tell you the truth no.

http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/20...ec340b12bc.pngLise: To be honest I could not tell them. Not without putting them in danger. In fact you have put us all at risk of attack by coming here. What if my aunt followed you?
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: Don't you think it time they knew?
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/06...f92d6e886c.pngJeryck: Your aunt?
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/0a...0fbe62ddc9.pngMagus: Lise, What's this all about?
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/1a...f360d12451.pngAimee: Ya spill girl!
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/20...ec340b12bc.pngLise . . .
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: The thing is Lise is the last of a line of royal ice mages. She was to young to take the throne when her aunt took it and threatened our kingdom.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/d5...e49c754a1d.pngCecila: Huh!?! But Lisey isn't an ice person! Mister Magic are you telling fibs?


http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/d5...e49c754a1d.pngCecila: Ooh! I get it now.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/20...ec340b12bc.pngLise: While it's true I'm only half Ice Person I'm still my mother's daughter. And by rule of law among the Ice realm I'm still ere to the crown. My mother chose love and adventure with a human man and his simple caravan over her people. She was a good woman. She never meant for her sister to go mad with power and start taking over other realms. Nor did she expect her betrayal or the assassins.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/e4...743fb14a25.pngNalin: Assassins?
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/20...ec340b12bc.pngLise: Yes, my fathers caravan was ransacked by my aunt's Freeze Fighters before Demetri's father could close the portal between our worlds. My father and I barely escaped with our lives. Mother managed to hold them off while father took me to the Shadow King.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/1a...f360d12451.pngAimee: Oh my gosh Lise I'm sorry.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/20...ec340b12bc.pngLise: It was for my safety.

http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/0a...0fbe62ddc9.pngMagus: This is sounding very serious.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/06...f92d6e886c.pngJeryck: Yes, The Mayor, Vicky, and Tesel Valentine should be told immediately to prepare.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/20...ec340b12bc.pngLise: No! Please don't. You don't understand the strength and nature of our magic.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/e4...743fb14a25.pngNalin: We can't just let her freeze Menewsha. How will anything grow?
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri:You misunderstand.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/1a...f360d12451.pngAimee: Ya it's not going to be a war!
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/4d...406d423e2d.pngEmilio: Seriously babe? How can you be so sure?
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/1a...f360d12451.pngAimee: OMG! DUH! Just what Demetri said in the beginning. A tale of Two kingdoms...Kingdoms unite under marriage!
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/d5...e49c754a1d.pngCecilia: Ooo so romantic!
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/0a...0fbe62ddc9.pngMagus: I mean, it would be so sudden?!
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/20...ec340b12bc.pngLise: Not really, we've been betrothed since my father took me to the shadow kings palace. We spent most of our childhood together. I would prefer marriage to the alternative of my aunts war. I detest violence. Her Freeze Fighter's swords and Ice Witches magic won't stand against us or the memory of my mother. And I -


http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/4d...406d423e2d.pngEmilio:Wha What's happening?
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/d5...e49c754a1d.pngCecilia: Grandpa I'm scared!
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/06...f92d6e886c.pngJeryck: It's ok Cessy I'm here.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/20...ec340b12bc.pngLise: She's found us!
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: Quick everyone follow me. Into the portal!

http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/0a...0fbe62ddc9.pngMagus: Come on Lise we gotta get out of here
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/20...ec340b12bc.pngLise: No, my friend you must go.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/0a...0fbe62ddc9.pngMagus: Lise?
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/20...ec340b12bc.pngLise: I can not run from this any longer. Make sure everyone is safe in town. And when this is over we shall have the best party ever. I promise.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/0a...0fbe62ddc9.pngMagus: But how can you. . .
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/20...ec340b12bc.pngLise: Just go! This is something Demetri and I have to face together.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/0a...0fbe62ddc9.pngMagus: I trust you Lise. Be safe my friend.

Magus slips through the portal just in time as the illusion of the castle fades. Demetri and Lise free fall to the snow below.

http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: Are you alright
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/20...ec340b12bc.pngLise: Yes I-
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/60...2ef212b6cf.pngThe Ice Witch: Ahh There's my pathetic half blood niece. Look at you, soft as flesh. I bet you get cold like a human. What could you possibly ever do to defeat me.

In the gentle town of Menewsha The Festival of Winter Nights is in full swing. People celebrate in their homes and enjoy the many feasts of the season.

http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/4d...406d423e2d.pngEmilo: Magus Where's Lise and Demetri?
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/0a...0fbe62ddc9.pngMagus: They're dealing with the problem.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/d5...e49c754a1d.pngCecila: Alone? I hope Lisey doesn't get hurt.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/06...f92d6e886c.pngJeryck: We should tell the Mayor.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/0a...0fbe62ddc9.pngMagus: No, I trust Lise. She thinks she can stop this without any harm coming to Menewshans and I believe her.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/1a...f360d12451.pngAimee: Surly there's something we can do.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/0a...0fbe62ddc9.pngMagus: There is. Lise said we'll have the best party when she gets back. So . . . Let's plan this thing!
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/06...f92d6e886c.pngJeryck: It doesn't seem practical. But I mean Menewsha has faced star eating gods before.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/1a...f360d12451.pngAimee: I'll start the invitations!
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/4d...406d423e2d.pngEmilio: Sent! Technology you gotta love it.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/d5...e49c754a1d.pngCecilia. I'll make the decorations... gonna need a lot of glitter glue. IT'S GONNA BE SO SHINY!
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/e4...743fb14a25.pngNalin: How about a few flowers too?
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/d5...e49c754a1d.pngCecilia: Sounds great!

http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/20...ec340b12bc.pngLise: I don't want to hurt you aunt. Please stop this.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/60...2ef212b6cf.pngThe Ice Witch: Hurt me? Foolish half child. Please.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: Don't underestimate the strength of human hearts.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/60...2ef212b6cf.pngThe Ice Witch: The shadow kings son? So I see. Looks like I'll have to get rid of two pests.


http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/20...ec340b12bc.pngLise: NO! You horrible woman. You leave me no choice.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/60...2ef212b6cf.pngThe Ice Witch: CACKLE! So come on then.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: Lise, be careful.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/20...ec340b12bc.pngLise: Look away Demetri.

http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/4d...406d423e2d.pngEmilio: What the heck was that?
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/d5...e49c754a1d.pngCecilia: *gasp* Lisey needs our help! Everyone close your eyes and think warm thoughts or she'll get a cold heart from the magic.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/1a...f360d12451.pngAimee: Cessy? How could you kn-
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/d5...e49c754a1d.pngCecilia: I don't know! I just know! You have to believe me!
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/06...f92d6e886c.pngJeryck: We believe you dear.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/0a...0fbe62ddc9.pngMagnus: Lise has been teaching you a few things hasn't she hon. Alright then you heard the kid. Lock them paws people.

http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/20...ec340b12bc.pngLise: Demetri I apologize you were injured. This is all my fault I should have taken care of all this long ago. I think perhaps my aunt was correct. I'm worthless.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: Lise I'll be ok. You know that. And your certainly not. Look how easily you defeated her.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/20...ec340b12bc.pngLise: Defeating her this way was never my intention. I failed in making her see reason. If I could not succeed in diplomacy with my own aunt, I would do the same with other nations. I would be the same if not worse than her.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: Some will never see reason. You are nothing like her. You are like your mother. Adventurous and well spoken.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/20...ec340b12bc.pngLise: Perhaps. However we need to get you home. Do you have another spell in you?
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: No I'm afraid not.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/20...ec340b12bc.pngLise: Well then I suppose we shall walk.


http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: It suits you. Even as children you were far more proper then me.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/20...ec340b12bc.pngLise: "Than I"
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: HAhaha! Precisely. Ouch!
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/20...ec340b12bc.pngLise: Let us go back to Menewsha, it shall be be dark soon and will take some time getting home.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: So we've saved a city and I nearly got mortally wounded. It's nice to go on a date with you again.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/20...ec340b12bc.pngLise: Date? I do not recall ever agreeing to such things.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: You don't need to agree when we're already betrothed.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/20...ec340b12bc.pngLise: I see. Should I leave you in the snow then and claim your kingdom?
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: HAhahaahaaa ouch haha oOch oh Lise such a cold sense of humor. Please don't make me laugh it hurts.

http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/0a...0fbe62ddc9.pngMagnus: I'm so happy you made it on time for the party.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/13...bfa405a37b.pngDemetri: Me too friend. However I regret I have no gifts to give this Winters Night.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/20...ec340b12bc.pngLise: You idiot. It is not about gifts.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/d5...e49c754a1d.pngCessy: It's about sharing with people.
