Cold as Ice Event Start

[plungeintofire]

In the forest, a chill started to blow through the trees and slowly making its way towards the city. The chill only getting colder and colder as the day ran on until eventually, it was cold enough that ice started to form along the ground seeping out from the forest, slowly creeping along the ground and up the walls.

As soon as the ice started to form howling along with other noises one can only guess as to what animal it came from started to echo. Within hours the city soon found itself with ice and icy like creatures roaming the streets.

What is going on? Where did the ice come from? The only way to know is to figure it out.

[OOC: I will be tagging in depending on what people do to either give hints if it seems to be going that way or anything else.]

Prompt A. Containment

[After the ice settled in, it became apparent to Satou that this was an issue isolated to Fayren City: Not something that would likely creep through the Archway into Genessia. So she's arrived to help investigate and contain the strange ice as best that she can.

At first, by setting up magic barriers around parts of the city in hopes of keeping them ice free.]

I don't know if this is going to last... [She looks to a frozen home, and its iced over door, with worry.] There's got to be something that we can do to at least help people get in and out of their homes.

Prompt B. FIGHTING

[Her confidence is much higher when it comes to fighting the icy animals. Satou's wand is in its scythe form, the blade being a warm, pink glow of magic: Something that can easily slice through ice.]

Hm. Destroying them is so violent, but they don't seem reasonable either...

A.

My, my, Fayren's got quite the cold reception today.

[Gale walks up from behind Satou. He was another Guardian on the case to lend his aid, having left Grievous in charge in Nova City in his absence. Gale himself was decked out a little differently for this one. The mask was likely going to prove useful. He folded his arms, looking at the same frozen home Satou was.]

First order of business was seein' if we can get through the ice. I did a bit of experimenting already.

[He held his arm out and blue flames traced around the door frame. Slowly but surely, the ice melted away from the door. Dispelling the flames, Gale looked at her.]

Mages that can safely control fire magic may be key players in gettin' people access to their homes.

DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

[Today's not at all surprising fact of the day is: Bakugou hates the cold. He despises it, almost as much as he despises inaudible mumbling, people not doing their homework, and water. It's too hard to work up a sweat in the cold, which means he has to work twice as hard to blow up the icy insides of the animal he's fighting.]

They're animals, Pink Cheeks. They don't understand reason.

[priceofmagic]

Katsuki-san!

[Satou twirls around to face him, red eyes bright with awe. Leave it to Bakugou to bring a ton of energy to such a cold and dreary place!

His comment stings, but she can't deny the truth in it either. They're made of ice.]

Mm, I suppose that's true... How should we do this, then? Got a formation in mind?

[hot_handed]

What? Did you forget I work here?

[He scoffs at her before eying the ice animals warily.] They'll just keep coming if we attack, there's no guarantee that they'll stop. And I have to be careful about property damage... Think we can make ourselves a path? We have to find the source.

[priceofmagic]

I didn’t forget!

[She pouts, briefly childish and teasing. Then snaps back into focus.]

I can fire a beam to clear a path. It won’t hurt you, so you can lead with me taking the rear. Sound fair, Deputy Bakugou?

[hot_handed]

Tch.

[He smirks a little.]

Whatever you say, Guardian Satou.

[priceofmagic]

Then let's roll! Which way is that frostbite coming from?

[Satou looks over her shoulder, imagining the trees around them. The windtail of the icicles is her first hint, but she points in her suspected direction for confirmation.]

You okay with heading that way?

A

[im_gonna_heal_u]

[ It looked like a healer's work was never done.Not long after she had noticed the cold, she spied what looked like an ice creature lurking nearby. It attacked her. Her Umbreon Yuunagi made it regret trying.

She saw Satou showing up around the time she also started noticing homes freezing up. ]

I don't know any heavy fire spells, but...

[ She chucked out a Pokeball, and Torracat emerged. Slightly annoyed but ever so happy to see opportunity, it didn't waste time belching fire at the frozen door, melting the ice. ]

I hope that can help us rescue people.
