Eleventh Flake [Video/Action for Ecruteak]

[defyingfrigidity]

... Well. Hm. This is new.

[Not the sudden chilly rush washing over her, and the return of the pleasant coolness in her gut that she now knows is the signal that her powers are returning. She's been through this twice now, and to be honest, she wasn't even going to bother doing much today, assuming she didn't get zapped off to some other city miles away like she's heard others complain about before. She was just going to go about her day, maybe make a few flurries for her pokemon to enjoy while they spent time outside, and just. Not bother with the network much.

But this time was different. Only a few minutes after she left the inn, she was accosted by a bird. And not just any bird. A rather large, elegant-looking blue bird. But instead of attacking her or her pokemon, it just sort of. Cuddled up to her.

And it still is when Elsa records this video. It's making soft cooing noises as it nuzzles the top of her head. The poor snow queen just seems absolutely bewildered, reaching up every once in a while to try and fix her mussed-up hair.]

I've... never seen a pokemon like this before. And it won't leave me alone? It's not aggressive, as you can tell, but every time I walk away, it just... keeps following me.

[And right she is. All throughout the day as she makes her usual rounds around Ecruteak and chats with residents and visitors, the Articuno is there with her, either following right behind her or perching on nearby buildings and watching over her.]

[Dipper had been walking around, making notes in his journal about all of the different creatures he's seen around. There's a Cleffa waddling alongside him with a big smile on her face. He stops when he see's something catch his attention, looking up to see a giant blue bird following a pretty lady.]

Whoa! What's that one called?

[defyingfrigidity]

I actually... don't know.

[She lets out a small noise of frustration, but the bird seems blissfully unaware of it as it continues to cuddle up to Elsa. She sighs, caving just a bit and reaching up to scratch the bird's neck feathers.]

I've been here for over a year now and I can't say I've seen anything like it before.

[sneezelikeakitten]

[He nods and sits down, doodling the bird in his journal.]

So it's big blue bird... what type is it? That might help with figuring out what it is. What do you think, Mabel?

[The Cleffa at his side blinks and looks up at the bird. She gives the bird a big smile and a wave. Hi! What are you?]

[defyingfrigidity]

[Birds can't wave, obviously, but Articuno does spread its wings with a happy noise. With one light flap - just enough to ruffle Elsa and Dipper's clothes - a light flurry bursts forth, and Elsa can't help but laugh.]

Well. I suppose it answered that for you, didn't it?

[sneezelikeakitten]

[Dipper shivers, wrapping his arms around himself. His little Cleffa lets out a startled noise and tries to hide in her trainers vest.]

I-Ice type. Right.

[defyingfrigidity]

[OH RIGHT COLD IS A THING NOW. WHOOPS.]

I-I'm sorry! I mean... we are. Right?

[She looks up at Articuno, who does indeed look a ashamed as a bird can be.]M.small>

[sneezelikeakitten]

["We"?

.... come to think of it, this lady wasn't shivering... she didn't even look bothered by giant ice bird... could she be...?]

Are you a snow queen or spirit?

[That would be totally awesome.]

[defyingfrigidity]

[... Uh. Huh.]

I'm no spirit, no. [Sometimes she would doubt if she was human, but. That's not the point here.]

Ah... "Snow Queen" is indeed what my people called me sometimes, but it's just... a title. A nickname. I'm human, I assure you.
