Second blossom ❀ Video.

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

[The feed opens to... well. Snow. And the Heimdall snowman in the far background, with one Kuchiki Byakuya peering down at the "camera"  with a puzzled expression on his face.]

Is there a point to making these... snow sculptures?

[They remind him of sand sculptures. But those hadn't really had a point beyond entertainment either. It doesn't seem to be the case, here. Y'know, what with them talking and moving and all.]

Probably to annoy...

[PERMAVIDEO]

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

Under a certain mindset, everything in this city is designed to annoy.

[mane-priority.livejournal.com]

And?

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

And my question remains still unanswered.

audio.

[turkishly.livejournal.com]

Somethin' mystic, something mysterious--shrouded in it even! Either that or it's just a game, some kind of trick.

[There is a grin in his voice.] Shame on them.

[PERMAVIDEO]

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

Do you find yourself entertained by this?

[turkishly.livejournal.com]

Do I? Of course I do! It's kind of funny if yah think about it.

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

I fail to see the entertainment value of it.

[turkishly.livejournal.com]

You fail t' see how walking and talkin' snow sculptures are funny? [A pause.] Do yah have a sense of humor at all, m' friend?

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

[Sharply.]

You are overly familiar, and I am not your "friend."

[:| Does too have a sense of humor, damnit!]

[turkishly.livejournal.com]

[Not that he can see, my dear.] Friendly, would be the key word there.

Because yah never know where you can find a friend, hm?

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, you kinda need heavy duty construction machinery to dig it out, but it's there, damnit! It exists!

Also, yeah. This look is answer enough.]

[turkishly.livejournal.com]

[There is a small pause before he speaks after receiving that look.] The cold shoulder.

So unfortunate.

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

I dislike wasting my time on trivialities.

[turkishly.livejournal.com]

Do yah? So what's not trivial t' yah then?

[persistantsong.livejournal.com]

I thought they were kind of cute. As for a purpose? I'm not too sure.

[PERMAVIDEO]

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

Cute.

[Do not speak of cute with this man, his vision of cute is. Unique.]

How so?

[persistantsong.livejournal.com]

[Leans back and takes a second to answer.]

Well, they are moving and they do things. That's really cute! Especially since they are snowmen.

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

Is abnormal behavior enough for you to consider them cute?

[GASP, have you no concept of aesthetics!]

[persistantsong.livejournal.com]

Well, it's kind of hard to explain. Seeing them come to life is really interesting, and their appearances are cute.

But maybe it's just because they are snowmen that they are cute?

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

Then what is the appeal of these... snowmen?

[persistantsong.livejournal.com]

I think it's different for everyone, so I can only speak about why I think they are cute.

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

It is true everyone has a personal sense of aesthetics.

[persistantsong.livejournal.com]

I guess you don't think that they are cute, do you?

[Video]

[sora-wo-koete.livejournal.com]

Snowmen...? People build them for fun-

[ There's a pause as she looks past Byakuya at the Heimdall snowman. ]

...

But they don't... usually move.

[PERMAVIDEO]

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

I see. I will admit I do too find their... antics unexpected.

[PERMAVIDEO]

[sora-wo-koete.livejournal.com]

Do you think this is the result of... someone using their power?

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

Our... guests, you mean? It is quite possible.

[sora-wo-koete.livejournal.com]

... I really hope this sort of thing won't be the norm throughout the year.

...and by guest, we'll helpfully pretend I typed "host". OTL

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

As far as inconveniences, they are fairly tame. Perplexity is preferable to outright irritation, I believe.

[sora-wo-koete.livejournal.com]

I suppose you have a point...

HAS that snowman done anything, Kuchiki-san?

[notbyakushi.livejournal.com]

...it has been asking for a button.

[He's aware of how bizarre that sounds. He cannot believe he just said that.]

[sora-wo-koete.livejournal.com]

[ Chihaya's been getting used to Asgard, so she just- blinks. But takes it in stride. ]

... did you give it one...?
