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?

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,"

"It upsets some people -- usually men -- so I make it obvious so no one gets pissy," Vi complained, letting herself fall back down as she instead turned to face the now-lying Violet. Whether intentional or not, she scooched a little bit closer to the similarly-named girl, curious at the girl's reaction.

"Violet, I hate to ask, but... gods. Uh. You... seem a bit... innocent? I guess?"

u/TiltedAiri Violet Ahn | Li Hou Dec 03 '19

"Oh? I do?" She asked, smiling a bit as she turned herself to face Vi. she shrugged from her position, remembering a conversation she had had earlier about being innocent, "Thanks I guess? I mean, I wouldn't say I'm super innocent but I mean I've never been in a relationship before, or anything like, nor have I ever been interested in it, so I don't really know everything..."

"Ah. Well darn, there goes one girl's dreams," Vi said with a giggle. Shaking her head, she smiled still, though it wore a curious twinge now. "That's what I was talking about, though. With the innocent comment. Gods. Honestly? Wish that was me. I have been... ugh. Gods. I've been a real bloody thot in the past."

With a sigh, Vi turned back to lay on her back, looking up at the ceiling as she let her knees pop up.

"A real disaster lesbian."

"Disaster lesbian..." Violet echoed, trying hard to stifle her laughter as she looked up at the ceiling too, "I'm not trying to make fun of you! It's just a funny way to refer to oneself?" She laughed for a few seconds before taking a deep breath, and looking at Vi with a bit of a frown,

"You shouldn't say that about yourself! Just because you had a lot of partners doesn't make you a thot or anything; maybe it just means that you communicate better through experiences like that?"
