Sabine was right, ruining the moment was priority negative infinity, not priority one. So she pushed forward and picked up speed, content to whirl around the field of ice with a super sexy blonde mentalist at her side. She surprised herself with how easy this seemed. Balancing all of her everything on two razor-thin blades without them snapping underneath her, or even just wobbling too much wouldn't have been shock, but it turned out that a lot of the skill in swerving around this fast came down to [i]standing still.[/i] Leah didn't move that much, she leaned left and right, and occasionally pushed one leg in front of the other to maintain momentum, but it was mostly just doing very little on purpose to avoid fucking it up. And Leah was pretty damn good at standing her ground. So this was pleasantly simple. As they made a lap around the rink, a thought occurred to Leah. [color=ffcb00]"...Jotunheim's colder than anything on Earth, constantly. I bet they do a lot more skating back there. A lot more than us."[/color] One day, she would have to get some proper clothes for that frozen planet she was born on, sooner or later. Maybe she'd learn how to enchant things with her runes to make them emit constant warmth. [color=ffcb00]"I'm a fucking genius- One day, I'm going back there. When I do, I'll find out."[/color] She flashed Sabine a grin like that of a golden retriever. [color=ffcb00]"Imagine. Biggest ice rinks you've ever seen. If they don't? I'll cast some spells and fucking make one, [i]right in the middle of Jarnvidr.[/i] Then I'm wrapping you up so you don't freeze, and I'm giving you the coolest fucking date I can think of."[/color] Holy shit, her heart was thudding. Leah felt gay as fuck.

Flaming bees, just out of nowhere, spawned by someone's powers going weird? That was certainly chaotic, she couldn't imagine being there in person. What the hell kind of superpowers could just spawn swarms of incinerating insects? [color=b940da]"That sounds like a lot, yeah. Don't blame you for stepping out, I would've done the same."[/color] The Contest was fine as a spectacle, but Marlena would be lying if she said it was fun watching that giant magic thing appear. And the rock girl just going for the throat- literally- for reasons known only to God. (Or Odin? Or... Loki? Aegir? Fuck if she knew.) [color=b940da]"I'll keep the advice in mind, though."[/color] She had to wonder if Vicky was just a pessimist. Other people who had been around the block a few times seemed enthusiastic, and Vicky just admitted to abstaining on moral contention. And, on top of that, she really didn't need another reason to dread this. Thankfully, though, a distraction came in the form of a whole crowd of barely thirteen year old girls, all screeching about Millie. Fame had a way of turning people into black holes for attention. They accosted the three older girls and immediately shoved a bunch of sharpies in Millie's face, asking for them to sign their... Faces? [i]What?[/i] [i]Taylor Swift and Katy Perry???[/i] Oh, these kids were crazy. Marlena flinched when the sharpies were jabbed in [i]her[/i] direction. They didn't even know her! Or Vicky, if her assessment of the girl's connection to Excelsior was accurate. What did she have to do with this?! Did they just think she was a famous superhero because she happened to be hanging out with a semi-famous superhero and Millicent Broadway? That idea made Marlena a little uneasy, she got along easy with people so she already liked Millie, and April seemed nice too. If this was how anyone even vaguely in their orbits was going to get treated, Marlena wasn't going to be very happy. [color=b940da]"Woah- Ladies, please. You've got the wrong girl. I just go here, and happened to chat up these two. I dunno who I look like, but I'm definitely not a pop-star, sorry to disappoint."[/color] [hider=Held roll] Marlena's trying to convince these kids to not demand an autograph from her and be sane and normal. Charisma skill applies, making this a held roll because it's dependent on what NPCs do." [/hider]
