Action

[Winter's last chill has almost passed.  Light and warmth are returning to the land.  And, of course, love is in the air.  All over Union, happy couples walk hand in hand, eating Luvdisc-shaped chocolates and enjoying other candied novelties and various expressions of sappy sentimentality.

But of course, every February also comes with the lonely, the heartbroken, and the very recently dumped.  Chie happens to fall into that third category, and while she's mostly made peace with it and doesn't really blame Maki at all, she's still feeling mighty glum on a day mostly filled with couples enjoying each others' company.  She's kept largely to herself about things with the exception of a recent girls' day out with Yukiko, not wanting to rain snow on anyone else's parade, but today she feels just a little bit like self-indulgent moping.

And so, she can be found lying down in a snowbank in one of Union's parks, just reclining on her back and staring up at the sky thoughtfully.  She's not dressed for the weather at all in a tank top and shorts, but being half Ice type, this isn't the sort of weather that bothers her at all.  She lets out small sighs every so often as she lets her mind wander in thought, utterly blind to the fact that the light snowfall that eventually starts is localized entirely to the area right above where Chie is lying.  She also doesn't seem to have noticed that her skin has turned blue.

It's not frostbite or hypothermia or anything of the sort, but a very quiet evolution brought on by zen-like contemplation while surrounded by one of the elements composing her natural typing.  She evolved for the first time while engaging in strenuous physical training - a nod to her Fighting type - so perhaps it's only appropriate that this time it's immersion in the Ice element and quiet thoughtful solitude that triggers Chie's second evolution.  Either way, she'll be lying there in the snow with her thoughts for a while, so anyone who happens by can see the effects.]

[Rise had her own commitments for today, but before flying south, she had intended to hand out a few treats to her friends, or at least the ones she knew weren't getting such from anyone themselves.]

[Then she finds Chie looking like she froze to death in a snowbank.]

CHIE!

[Give her a sec, her Analyst powers are vying for her attention as we speak.]

Ah!

[Wait a second, she was still in perfect health.]

Oh uh...sorry, you looked...dead.

Not that I've ever seen anyone who froze to death...or that you can freeze to death that easily...
celebrity_commentator: (uncertain)

[personal profile] celebrity_commentator 2015-02-16 02:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Well yeah, but you're like...all blue.
celebrity_commentator: (uncertain)

[personal profile] celebrity_commentator 2015-02-17 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh, but...

[How do you even say this?]

Well, anyway, what's got you moping? Or meditating, or whatever you're doing today?

I'm so sorry, Chie. Being dumped is the worst.

[Says the girl who's on her first boyfriend. She's just played enough jilted lovers on stage or in song that she's used to the emotional context.]

What happened?
celebrity_commentator: (this picture needs senpai in it)

[personal profile] celebrity_commentator 2015-02-20 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm.

[Rise sighs. Not much she could say to that. It's not like she had much in common with Chie either, but that's one difference between friendship and romance.]

That sucks. Is there anything I can do to help? Girl's night? Chocolate? I should have some spare chocolate...

[Rise reaches around in her handbag and pulls out a couple of small foil-wrapped chocolates.]

Here you go! Actually, I'd gotten these for you anyway, but I figure you could really use them now...
celebrity_commentator: (perky)

[personal profile] celebrity_commentator 2015-02-23 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rise smiles at that. Even if she didn't know what to say, she could still help.]

Well, I need to go hand out a few more of these, but call me if you need anything, okay?

[Especially if it's tomorrow, seeing as she has plans she'd feel awkward mentioning today.]

Glad you didn't freeze to death!
