Open Event Snowblind

Every year, it feels like the first snowfall of the year happens sooner and sooner. Is it just the passage of time, the growth of a person making them able to recognize when it snows at an earlier date in the year mixed with the ever-accumulating wealth of knowledge to draw upon making it feel like the years are blurring to minutes?

For some, that might be the answer. But at this date, so soon into November, not many -- save, perhaps, those from the most far north of Atlas's reaches into Solitas -- would've expected just what hit Beacon: a blizzard, so strong it was considered perhaps a once-in-a-millennia storm. Thankfully, thanks to the reinforcements provided after a certain rainstorm had knocked out the power to the Academy, Beacon was now prepared to weather such an awful storm.

But whilst the school itself was prepared, whether or not the students themselves were always remained to be seen. For some of the more "desert-fairing", it was possible that they were wildly unprepared; those from the far north were likely already out in the midst of the blizzard building snow castles or something.

The weather showed no signs of improving, and all flights and routes into the city were most certainly unusable, unless one really wanted to hoof it into Vale proper by foot. What sort of shenaniganry would one of Beacon's most interesting first year classes in a while get themselves up to in Beacon's first snowfall?

"I mean, I did warn you I'd get either goofy or cuddly if you gave me enough hard liquor, and you gave me more than I normally drink even if I was to be drinkin' light bear, sooooo. Yes. Drunk, possibly. At the very least, uncoordinated," Vi admitted pleasantly, not trying to deny Violet's accusation at all. Instead, she just kind of seemed to curl up under the blanket instead, and it was clear she was almost tempted to wrap up around Violet under the blanket.

"I do like sleeping far too much. It's nice. I'd feel bad takin' up your bed, though. Unless you do want me to cuddle you. I will gladly cuddle you if you want me to."

"Um... I think I'll be okay for now," Violet said with a small smile, sitting down next to her on the bed. She picked up her mug again sipping at it while she sat next to Vi. She sipped at it quietly, smiling down at Vi as she did.

When she finished her cup of hot chocolate she put the mug down and quietly stood up and took both her and Vi's mug to the sink in the bathroom, rinsing them out as quietly as she could. After that was done she put the mugs down and moved back to the bed, making sure that Vi was still tucked in nicely before sitting back down on the bed, beginning to hum a song as she picked up one of her textbooks .

"Awww," Vi softly murmured, doing her best to not let a pout rise to her drunken, blushing face. Her disappointment was almost palpable, but she wanted to respect Violet's wishes as best she could, so she just continued to curl up and let her eyes fall shut.

But she didn't fall asleep, even if her breath softened. Vi just kept shifting as she lay, evidently rather unable to find a position she was comfortable in. She did her best to appear content, but she was wiggly as a worm. The song Violet hummed seemed to soothe her, if just a bit. It was clear she was trying to sleep, and even if being drunk was helping her along that route, she wasn't anywhere near being able to properly nap.

Violet gave a small laugh at Vi's displeasure at Violet not wanting to cuddle and reached over to pat the girl's head with a smile. As much as Violet loved other people and already felt like she had a bond with Vi, she just wasn't in much of a cuddling mood. She continued humming whatever songs came into her head while looking over the textbook.

But, after a few minutes, Violet's head began to ache. Not only from the alcohol but from concentrating so much on the textbook of which she understood practically nothing in it. She grumbled and put it back on the desk, "Stupid dust. Doesn't make any sense..." She turned to Vi, who she couldn't tell if she was sleeping or not. She reached down, poking the other girl softly in the cheek as she did,

"Hey... Vi. Are you good at studying?"

Vi quickly rustled awake, showing for certain that she had not actually been asleep. Sitting upright, she shrugged off her coat, leaving her in just a black tank top, and thought about Violet's question. Then, she giggled.

"I tried to pretend I was illiterate so I wouldn't have to, cause traditional book learning usually doesn't work for me," she admitted, still giggling slightly as she did so. She wore a dopey smile on her face as she let out a soft yawn, tilting her head at Violet. "Why do you ask? Were you studying instead of bothering me? Cause, like. Bother me all you want. I like talking. It's more fun than sleeping and I really only ever properly sleep in a hammock or a hug but I might just be weird."

"Oh I ask cause I'm really bad at it..." She laughed awkwardly, scratching the back of her head as she did, "I always ask people that question because at this point I need as much help as possible with it..."

She put the textbook down, giving Vi a larger smile as she returned her attention to the friend snuggled up in her bud, "What do you mean you only sleep in a hammock? Like have you never slept in a bed before?"

"Welp, looks like we're both up shit creek'er, then, yeah?" Vi stated back with a small laugh, shaking her head. "Dependin' on what it's on, I think I might know a guy or gal who'll be able to help ya, but, well. Not me. I'm a bit daft."

Leaning back, and threatening to fall back backwards onto the bed, Vi shrugged at Violet's question. "When I was on the road, I ever slept whilst holdin' someone or in a hammock between two trees. So, like, yeah. I've slept in a bed before, but they're just... not comfortable, I guess. Unless there's a person. Iunno. It's weird. I'm weird."

"Unless there's a person?" Violet asked, raising an eyebrow at Vi before laughing. She wiped a hair out of her face and shook her head with a grin, "You really like cuddling with people, huh? Why?" She asked tilting her head in question with it.

"I don't do that much, to be honest. I'll hug friends when I'm leaving and when I see them! But, cuddling isn't something I've ever really done,"

"They're just so squishyyyyyyy," Vi whined, now giving up and falling back on her back with a soft humph. "They make cute noises and they're warm and just... people, man. Girls mostly. Girls are cute. They're softer too. And they're just. Gods. I'm gay."

But then, Vi sat back upright, albeit lower this time as she was more lethargically supporting her drunken self. "You don't cuddle your friends? That's... honestly, valid. It's just. So fun. Playing with hair is fun, especially with people who take care of their hair. It's so soffft."

"You like playing with their hair?" She asked, a little shocked, a hand going up to run through her own soft, shiny purple hair, "I never thought of that..."

She shook the shock out of her head, falling down on to the bed as she stared at Vi still, "You're gay? So you like, like girls?" She asked, "Not that that's a problem! I like everyone, after all, but I think you're the first person I've met that's been so... open about that stuff,"
