† 22

[so earlier, Abel had started making a snow-duck with Ten. which had slowly transformed into a snow-duck parade...

there is now a line of snow-ducks. they all look sort of... deformed... not proportioned correctly, or perhaps a little lopsided. regardless, Abel is sitting atop the largest (the size of a car, at least) sprawled atop its back with Esther the duck - a real duckling, thank you - resting on his stomach, curled in a nest of his scarf.

it looks like he's been there some time, since he's fast asleep!]

--E-eh? What's that... AAH!

[...or rather, was.

the back of the snow-duck collapses from his weight and body warmth, and he falls right through to the middle. there's some muffled noises of protest, some crunching of snow as he tries to free himself... and finds he can't.]

Esther, go get help! N-no, don't... sit there, that's... Now I can't see, either...

[care to stumble upon the priest stuck neck-deep in a snow, with a duckling on his head?]

[ooc: open post is open for whatever :)]

[Ky was taking a walk out in the snow, when he heard the sudden cry, which causes him to rush over to the scene. And he spots what happened, and hurries over to Abel.]

F-Father-!?

[Abel strains his neck to try and see, but the scarf is obscuring his view. however, he recognizes the voice, and offers a quiet]

Mr. Kiske...? Is that you? Yes, I'm-- I'm in here, somewhere... [more crunching as he tries to wiggle himself free]

[rideslightning.livejournal.com]

Y--Yes, it's me-! I-I'll get you out, just a minute! [Ky seems pretty frantic about it, dropping his sword on the ground and is working on digging Abel out of that snow pile.]

[priestish.livejournal.com]

E-Esther, please stop moving so much. You're going to--

[AMG KY THERE'S A DUCKLING SQUAWKING AT YOU from Abel's head. you're disturbing her hair nest, ok guy]

[Pit is simply walking on by when the group of ducks catches his attention. What happened to that big one, there?

Time to investigate!]

[priestish.livejournal.com]

[Pit! My hero!

the crunch of snow as Abel tries to wiggle his way out is obscured by the indignant squawking of one duckling who is now perched atop the white-haired priest's head; he gives a soft sigh]

I'm going to turn into an icicle, Esther. I'm doomed. You might as well go and save yourself...

[dafiteison.livejournal.com]

[Wh-- is there someone in there?!

Heroing is what Pit does best, so he jogs up closer to start digging. He calls through the ice, though--]

Hey, are you alright?

...Snow ducks. That's different... [she approaches the broken mommy duck and peers inside - and muffles a laugh]

Abel?

[priestish.livejournal.com]

[Abel peers up at the sound of Kate's voice - and, shaking his head to free the duckling from the entanglement of white hair, he offers a sheepish grin]

A-ah, Kate, I... Seem to be stuck, you see, and I...

[not-hawkingbird.livejournal.com]

[nods, smile wavering with suppressed laughter] I see that. [she'll scoop up Esther first, and set her on a smaller duck] Can you raise your arms?

[Just off on his regular stroll, one Kyouraku Shunsui was not in the habit of happening upon such an... interesting array of not-so-feathered friends. Especially not an array harbouring a special guest and what seemed to be his very own pet faceplant. So it really would be a poor show of him if he didn't make the most of this first time experience, right?]

What's a little thing like you doing out here all on your own, hmm?

[If you happen to feel a vibrating duckling in your face, Abel, Shunsui apologises. But the little thing was just sitting there begging for pets.]

[priestish.livejournal.com]

E-Esther?! Who's there? Are you al--

[he wiggles vehemently, though that only seems to make matters worse; some more of the snow duck collapses, burying both duck and priest. :|]

Formatting fail oh god self whattttt. /facepalms forever

[flowersandsake.livejournal.com]

[...Pfffffffffff~ But oh dear but pffffff~ However, being the kind, selfless person he is, he couldn't possibly let a poor little duck suffer such a chilly fate. So he'll just wade on in there and...]

Ah, Abel. Fancy finding you in here~! [Because, clearly, Abel had been invisible before this and he isn't just pointlessly teasing a now probably very cold priest... >>]

[Look who is finally out and about again! Dressed up in around six coats and taking it slowly.

...Was that... Abel? With a duckling on his face? He'd like to help, really he would, but he's laughing just a touch too hard at the moment.]

[s-sob... this is so...

funny?]

[priestish.livejournal.com]

... [someone is laughing? familiarly, at that.]

I'm going to die. I'm going to freeze to death and die in a snow duck. I always knew when I finally kicked the bucket, it'd be in some utterly humiliating and undignified manner, but this? This is simply pathetic! And to be laughed at... my life, my life! [chokes a dramatic sob]

[thirteenth.livejournal.com]

[Laughs a little harder, and begins digging Abel out, wading into the snow.]

Max will kill me if she knows I'm messing around in the snow with you.

[dutyandpride.livejournal.com]

[Of course Abel was asleep in the snow, why wouldn't he be? Looking down at the other man, he speaks firmly.]

Wake up.

[from his snowy prison, he can recognize the crunch of footsteps approaching. finally, someone to rescue him? he perks his head up...]

[finally... puts on... a terse smile]

H-hello, Mr. Byaku...chiki. How are you this evening?

[dutyandpride.livejournal.com]

[Reaches down and pulls Abel out by the collar.]
