Going Home || Closed

Being back in the city after being away for so long felt strange. Everything changed, all the time. It was so unlike Forget-Me-Not Valley, where everything was and stayed more or less the same. 

Jill had gotten lost several times in the way to the place she had spent most of her childhood. Once the familiar doors came into sight, the first thing she did was bolt over, checking to see if it was unlocked. 

It wasn't. Good thing she still had her keys.

Walking into the house, a twinge of nostalgia hit. She couldn't help but smile to herself a she looked around. Everything looked the same, just like the last time she was around. The all-too-familiar sound of her mom in the kitchen brought a smile to her face as she called out. "Mom? I'm home..."

Her mom's embrace was always warm, and the lunch she cooked was a million times better than anything Jill had ever made herself. 

Being home was nice.

After the surprise and the food and the hugs and tears, the two of them sat down in the living room and talked. 

"Don't get me wrong, darling, I'm so glad you're here but... what brought this on?"

Jill sucked in a breath, and explained the avalanche. How Muffy went missing. How someone had passed away, and two others were in critical condition. It weighed down on her. 

"I guess it just..." She sighed. "It made me think of dad. He was taken from us so fast, I- wanted to see you. In case it was the last time." 

Her gaze went down to her hands, which were clasped on her lap. It was so weird, being all sensitive like this, even with her mom.

Alice, you better not be outside in this blizzard with all of the other fools. I'm not going out in the snow to get you.

Quick Information:

People have been wondering how much time is passing by in the Hotspring Festival, so here's some clarity!

Everyone arrived to the Hotspring Festival the first day anywhere before 10pm. The blizzard hit somewhere between 10pm and midnight, causing an avalanche at some point. Everyone that's stuck in the mine after the fact will be stuck there until... Let's say the second day around 8pm. Almost a full 24 hours being trapped there! The event lasts until March 8th in REAL TIME, so you can still make starters for PRE-AVALANCHE and POST-AVALANCHE.

Here are some tags for you:

First Aid

 > Dorothy stood from the small bed she was situated on and put her phone away, not willing to just sit and wait any longer. She left her room, clutching Fern like usual but determined nonetheless as she found her way downstairs to the main lobby. She wanted to be of use, rather than just sitting and waiting for news on how many injuries or deaths there may be.  > She looked around in the larger room, shivering slightly even in her heavy winter clothes but resolutely ignoring it: she would much rather be a little cold than much too hot, right now. She wanted to do something - anything - to help the others trapped in the inn with her, but she wasn't quite sure where to start, short of somehow managing to gather everyone and convince them to keep warm together instead of being contained in their own rooms or spaces. Everyone needed to come together when disasters like this happened.

Chest Pains || Open

The blizzard was much harsher than Antoinette had initially anticipated. She was bundled up in layers upon layers of cloth, but still the freezing wind tore through her, whipping her skirt against her frail legs. Snow filled her boots and flew in her face, freezing her nose and rendering her near sightless, but she persevered nonetheless. She'd managed to drag her shaking feet all the way to the edge of the town, her stomach doing backflips all the while.

Her mind was racing with thoughts of causalities, buried helpless in the snow, thoughts of never again seeing those she held most dear. Her shoulders shook as she choked back sobs, but she'd been strong, determined, until now, when the pain her chest became too much to bear. Tears streamed down her cheeks like salty waterfalls as she dropped to her knees, doubled over and enclosed in snowy walls.

"I'm sorry..." she murmured. She'd originally sought to be strong, to go out herself, find her father herself, and take him home herself, but she could see now that was foolish. It was foolish, and now she'd proven herself utterly useless. Her sobs were as silent as her cry for help.

Every Step You Take (Into that damn blizzard) || OPEN

>Gill trudged through the harsh snow. This was a bad idea, he knew that much, but Luna was out there freezing. Who knows who else  was out there? The casualties needed to be kept at little to none. His vision was poor due to the weather, but he caught a glimpse of someone out there.

"Hey!" He shouted. "Are you okay?"

» "Dirk!" Muffy called out, crossing her arms to maintain warmth due to her lack of overall suitable clothing for the season. From his intoxicated posts, she assumed he was still drinking away her alcohol in the hot springs. She still wore her frilly bikini from her first engagement with him, underneath her normal striking red dress that ended before the knee. "Dirk -- where are you?" She called out again, briskly walking around the edge of the springs. Where was he? His alcohol sensitivity wouldn't allow that amount of bourbon to be injested in such a short time. Suddenly, a loud sound echoed from above, and the mountain trembled as something tremendous happened within a blink of an eye.

» Panicked by the commotion, which lasted merely seconds, she ran towards the cave entrance to find that a mixture of snow and ice blocked her way. Was this real? She was... trapped. "Hello?!" The frightful young woman yelled, solely to hear her voice reverberate throughout the cave. Muffy was... alone. And she couldn't escape. "... Hello?" Hopelessness surged within her, causing her to collapse onto her knees in front of the barricade of the winter elements. What if she never made it out?

Are we allowed to say our character was in there before the avalanche, or did we have to be in the middle of an RP?

You still have a chance to start a thread PRE-Avalanche and POST-Avalanche. Just be sure to get things started before March 8th! ‘u’ If your character(s) are stuck in the mine and you’re looking for someone to thread with, then make a starter and tag the following: #BokumonoOpen, #BB!Hotspring, #BB!POSTAvalance

That way people know who’s where and you guys can get started on those emotions!
