[color=a699ad]‘Alright, now listen,’[/color] Jelena said, focusing intently on her students on skis in front of her. On her own feet, Jelena had her own pair of recently formed metal skis. [color=a699ad]‘So cross your skis like this, and go slowly forward. There, cool. When you go downhill, lean towards the hill and press your weight down on the ski you want down the hill. So weight on the right leg to turn left, weight on the left leg if you want to turn right. Got it? So…’[/color] Jelena said, instructing at length on how to actually ski. [color=9c87c9]‘… Yeah, I got this already,’[/color] Victoria boasted, easily sliding down while in full control. She was already basically skiing all over the place with her ice-powers. [color=fc6828]‘Wo-ho, haha! This feels weird!’[/color] Mayra said, almost losing balance but constantly adjusting herself with tiny bursts of fire from her molten body. [hider=Mayra, Victoria and Jelena’s christmas pictures, but imagine them currently in ski-outfits and wearing skis][url=https://i.imgur.com/zUuFlVe.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/zUuFlVel.png[/img][/url][url=https://i.imgur.com/LDgjppL.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/LDgjppLl.jpg[/img][/url] [url=https://i.imgur.com/inzUfLO.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/inzUfLOl.jpg[/img][/url] [url=https://i.imgur.com/YuzlPlL.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/YuzlPlLl.jpg[/img][/url][/hider] [color=077ae6]‘U-uh…’[/color] Mariette hesitated, shaking, wide-eyed, staring down on her skis and then down the slope. Despite normally heading down way vaster distances and regularly standing atop platforms high above the cityline, staring down a ski-slope she was supposed to head down standing only atop a pair of interestingly-shaped twigs was way scarier. Still, she was trying to keep her skis crossed, and- [color=077ae6]‘Wait, no, AH-!’[/color] Mariette cried as she accidentally straightened her skis in a turn and then gained way more speed than she was comfortable with, and-! [color=a699ad]‘Ah, darn, I gotta-!’[/color] Jelena dashed into action, intending on rescuing the runaway leader-! Except that’s when a tentacle shot into the snow from Mariette’s position, grabbing a tree and accidentally flinging herself down the slope. She was about to crash again, when she made another tentacle grab onto the nearest tree, redirecting her but once again lost grip of the tree, throwing her further down. She sent a tentacle to a tree, and… and so it continued, Mariette unintentionally flinging herself down the hill. [color=a699ad]‘Hold on, Mariette, we’re not racing yet!’[/color] Jelena shouted after her. [color=fc6828]‘SHE’S GETTING A HEADSTART!’[/color] Mayra shouted in realization, grinning wide-eyed as she leaned forward and held both her arms behind her. [color=fc6828]‘YOU’RE NOT GETTING AHEAD OF ME!’[/color] she shouted, before bursting fire from both hands and rocketting down the slope, melting the snow as she went in a straight line. [color=9c87c9]‘Heh, can’t make them think they get ahead of me when it comes to speed in my own element…!’[/color] Victoria boasted, and dove downwards, freezing the snow in front of her so it became smoother and lost basically all friction, allowing her to glide down at [i]ludicrous[/i] speeds… which she could all the way until she was about to pass Mayra, who proceeded to shoot fire at her to prevent her from coming down first. Victoria, of course, replied by duplicating into numerous skiers and throwing ice in return, resulting in a battle of ice and fire heading down the ski-slope. [color=a699ad]‘Geesh, you guys…’[/color] Jelena sighed at them. She then took a deep breath, before setting up on a leisure skiing trip down the slope. She knew she couldn’t compete with the speed of her students, so she may as well simply enjoy this unique chance to do some happy skiing again. For once, she could just enjoy herself, taking in some speed as she enjoyed her time on the slope. This was what skiing was all about. Yupp. Giant metal arms and all. [hr] [hider=Eli and Deni’s current appearance][url=https://i.imgur.com/sy0PpIT.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/sy0PpITl.jpg[/img][/url][/hider] [color=55B7AA]‘Oooh, I’ve missed this,’[/color] Deni sighed out, smiling as she looked down the slope. [color=DC9495]‘There hasn’t been a lot of time for this as Magical Girls, huh,’[/color] Eli chuckled. The two were wearing a pair of matching snowboards under their suitable ski-jackets that they’d equipped for this purpose. [color=55B7AA]‘Well, I’m done waiting! Let’s go!’[/color] Deni said, giggling as she nudged her legs so as to point the tip downwards, starting to accelerate. [color=DC9495]‘Right behind you,’[/color] Eli said, pulling herself to follow right behind. And so, they were off. Having once upon a time been a single girl with two personalities, they both somehow had the same muscle-memory, and as such two precisely as skilled girls headed down the slope, smiling and laughing as they intentionally went close to one another, and used their Magical Girl athleticism for some fancy tricks and jumps just because, and headed down for fun. [hr] Somewhere else, a blonde girl and a spider-girl were taking a girl sledding. They were having a lot of fun.
