Frost Fair

Frost fairs are festivals held on rivers that have frozen over during the winter, sometimes in conjunction with Christmas markets.

( how to play )
Top-level posters, please provide a few options as to what your character is doing at the fair. What type of booth are they running? What kind of performances might they engage in?

Prompts:
1. Booths - The booths and vendors of the frost fair are one of the greatest draws of any festival. Warm food and steaming drinks can be bought, along with handcrafts and rare imports from across the realms. Plenty of fairy vendors are here, and one of them is creating little ice sculptures for sale upon request.
2. Performances - Plays and hand-puppets can be found throughout the fair, along with jugglers, acrobats, and all types of musicians. Be careful not to slip on the ice, if you're performing, unless that's part of your stunt!
3. Sled-races - If you're feeling competitive, there are several races to be had along the frozen course of the river! Find a sled, find someone (or something) to draw it for you, and join the race!
4. Ice-skating - Simple ice skates that can be strapped to the bottom of your boots are available at several stalls on the edges of the festival.
5. Sleigh Rides - Sleighs led by reindeer stand waiting near the edges of the fair, ready to take you up the frozen river and out across the snowy landscape. Some of these reindeer even fly!
6. Within the Tents - There's a tent city spread out across the frozen city, with plenty of rugs and braziers to help warm you. Many of the tents are set up as conversational salons and artist studios. Rumor has it that a few of these luxurious tents are being run as brothels.
7. Snowball Fights - There are plenty of drifts about, if you would like to play in the snow, build a snow person, or just leap into the biggest drift you can find.
8. Ice Sculpting Contest - Try your hand at sculpture! There are large blocks of ice and tools available for anyone who would like to make an entry into the ice sculpting contest.
9. Frost Fairy Mischief - Some of the fairies at the festival are out and about with mischief. You might find your possessions frosted or your hair turned white as snow, or you yourself might begin to turn to ice! It's said that the only cure for frosty mischief is a kiss.
10. Wildcard! - All manner of wintry magic and fun can be found at the frost fair, if you so please.

((You know I was just thinking of Frosta for this! Any preferences?))

[anything but the brothel tent is go!💙]

[This 'Princess Alliance' has provided many unexpected opportunities. The sheer variety of environments could keep any scientist busy for years.]

This.

Is.

AMAZIIIIIIIING!

[With a loud whoop of joy, Entrapta flings herself into a towering snowdrift. Eager to get some hands-on study done!

Sorry to anyone caught in the spray?]

[ Ooh! ]

[The trio lands in the area on a tip?]

[Pretty sure the Providence River has frozen over a few times, or maybe he's travelling abroad for a change.]

[ This is probably a bad idea. ]

[Memes like this bring out all the winter spirits, don't they?]

[ooc:Up for an artificial god meeting a real god? ]

[Ack, sorry, I was at work all day. Yes, I would be good with this! Any specific scenarios in mind?]

[It's fine! School got me for a little bit! Finals are a killer! I was thinking 4 or 5, do either of those sound good?]

(Voice Testing)

[How nostalgic...Catch him ice skating or trying his hand at ice sculpting.]

[ For being born in Salamand, Firion is a child of Fynn through and through. And part of that - a great deal of that - is a complete inability to deal with cold. But he adores celebrations like this and wouldn't miss one for the world, cold or not. There's too little joy in the world recently.

He's wrapped in furs, nose and cheeks and ears red with the frost, as he catches up to Maria with a hot cup in each hand, offering one out. ]

It's spiced tea. You ought to stay warm. [ He grins. ] Berries and honey in yours.

Thank you.

[Maria really is grateful, though really, she can take care of herself, she has to. But Firion is an important friend, and they've been through a lot of hard times together. So she can only be grateful, if it's him.]

[OOC: Voicetesting. /ooc]

[ fire user having a miserable time at a frost fair? maybe! character info on journal ]

[[Crow is pretty anti-cold, so any excuse to bundle him up and get him out for the festivities would be really fun.]]

Find him visiting the booths, for food and drinks, or looking at the little knick-knacks and souvenirs.

Or he could be teaching someone else to skate (or someone could be teaching him to skate).

Or he could have been roped into watching the kids (considering that he is Best Daddy) in the tents, or joined them in a snowball fight.

(Or toss another idea at me!)
