Honestly, I don't understand how people don't love snow. It's cold, yes, but...overall, it's just very pretty, isn't it? How could you not love that?

[Well, here's a familiar face to some- Cheriour is standing on top of a snow pile, beaming and looking very proud of himself as his clock eyes tick on.]

[He tilts his head quizzically at the camera.]

But I have to say, I'm a bit confused as to what in the world some people do with it! You see, I'e been reading these books about what people do in the snow, and while some things are rather self-explanatory, others are...less so. For example, snowballs I understand, but what in the world is "snowboarding"? Is that like putting boards on snow, or...? And it seems a lot like skiing, too, by the sound of it! Except...I'm at a loss as to what skiing is, too. It sounds fun to say, though, skiing...

[A pause, before he shakes his head.]

Oh, oh, but there was something that I was very intrigued by in the books I read, and I don't really know if I did it correctly or not, but...I made a snow angel!

[And the camera pans over to show, well, this:]

What do you think?

[ that is probably the most literal snow angel luka's ever seen. ]

That's quite impressive, sir. [ and then a slight pause ] I don't think that's what the books are talking about, though.

[clockeyes]

Oh, thank you!

[he smiles widely at the compliment, before looking unsure at that next part.]

I-it's not? What are snow angels, then? I thought they were like snowmen, just more angel-shaped...

[circulates]

Let's see... children often make them, from what I've observed. You lay in the snow and you move your arms and your legs out to the sides.

[ she doesn't think she's describing this well enough, oh no ]

When you stand up, you should see the shape of an angel where you were just lying.

[clockeyes]

E-eh?? How is it?

[gandrtails]

What book were you reading? That's not a snow angel at all.

video

[clockeyes]

But...I mean, you have snowmen and all, isn't a snow angel the same thing?

[Voice]

[needsmoregreen]

Ah, that's really good! But...I don't think that's how snow angels are...

[Video]

[clockeyes]

Oh, thank you! Then how are they? The book didn't specify, you see...

[comeonthensexy]

Snowboarding means standing on a board and... well, sliding down a slope on it. Skiing is similar, except you stand on two boards instead.

Also, that's not the kind of snow angel they're talking about. It looks great, though.

[Video]

[clockeyes]

Why can't you slide down a slope yourself? Though, thinking about it, I guess boards would reduce traction...and skiing must be twice as fun, what with two boards, I reckon!

Yes, it does seem that way, people have been telling me...I don't regret making it at all, though!

Woah... [ That's better than any snowman Scott's ever made. ] Who cares if you did it wrong, that's an awesome snow angel.

[clockeyes]

Oh, thank you! Really, there shouldn't be a wrong or right way to do these sort of things. Every way is good!

[diviner]

[...wow what even-]

We don't have snow back home, in Orose. We don't really have much weather at all.

[clockeyes]

What, you don't?? Oh, dear, then you need to be introduced to it right away! It's quite a lovely thing, snow.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

That's beautiful, Cheriour!

[Video]

[clockeyes]

Ah, thank you, Euri! Always happy to brighten up things around here/

[sonofabitch]

[Dean has to laugh, because Cheriour is definitely the most entertaining angel he's ever met.]

That's not exactly right, though points for technique?

video;

[clockeyes]

[He tilts his head like a curious bird.]

Ah, points? What points are those? Like, what do you humans have, those game shows where people get points? Are you giving me some of those?

[Video]

[marrying]

[Daphne is trying really hard not to laugh.]

It's very... elegant?

[Video]

[clockeyes]

[Unfortunately, Cheriour can't tell, so he just smiles.]

Why, thank you! I did try my best.

[tumbled]

Well! That's certainly an interesting take on the concept, and some rather remarkable workmanship at that!

[clockeyes]

Ah, thank you! I know now I did it wrong, but...either way, I am rather proud of it, I haven't done anything like this in ages.

[voice]

[bitofajerk]

[ wow that is just WINNING BY FAILING AT SNOW ANGELS??? either way, jackson will let someone else explain that. ]

Snowboarding doesn't mean putting boards in the snow. It's a sport where you stand on a board and get to go down a slope or a mountain with it.

[video]

[clockeyes]

[a total win by failure how does that even work OH WELL IT HAPPENED.]

A sport? Really? I wouldn't think there is much skill in sliding down a board on a slope, but alright. Maybe there's just something in it I'm not seeing.
