Winter Event Medley |

I) A Chill of Dread. (Dec 6th)


[Salieri, at first, felt it only reasonable to second guess his choices when the first flurry struck his cabin and stretched onward throughout the city. Go out into the blizzard, help those who are in danger and so on. Such acts are far too admirable for someone like himself– someone who can only stake claim to his music and nothing more. As much as he did want to help, he was certainly not suitable for such a task.

But now as he swiftly stalks through the snow and wind, Salieri finds... that this isn't all that bad.

Or even difficult, for that matter.

It's cold, of course– but he's already adapted to the chill and the wind is only a brief distraction from everything else around him. His hefty paws and thick fur coat are undoubtedly to thank for this. His heavy tail balances his steps and thick round ears swivel at the slightest sounds about him.

He's made his way straight into the Outer City. Most of the residents have thankfully evacuated but there are still others who apparently have not yet made it to safety. Salieri searches for them– using every sense known to him to try and find their obscured figures in the howling wind.

It's only when he hears shuffling inside a nearby shelter does he err on the side of caution. Approaching the threshold Salieri breathes warmth into his open palm until a flicker of flame blossoms there. It's small but it will do.
] Who's there? Show yourselves. [Humans? Someone in need of help?

The fire's wavering light illuminates the figure– a lone Shade, coiled to strike.

Of course.

The Chimera rears back just as the Shade lunges. Once at a safe distance he unsheathes his cross dagger.

Time to do what he traveled here for.
]

II) Warm Company. (Dec 6th)

[It's only when Salieri has left the Outer City and back into his own District does he realize how things are faring there as well. Once again, he wills himself to conserve as much energy as possible– continues from door to door and provides the use of his novice fire abilities when he can. Several fire places, lanterns, wooden stoves and pits later, Salieri finds himself still out in the thick of it. He's covered in a fine dusting of powdered snow and even if he looks like he's freezing, he's really just craving a hot cup of cocoa...

And that's when he spots you out and about as well. His silvery brows pinch together.
] I was begining to think I was the only one foolish enough to still be wandering around. Are you in need of help...? [Or warmth, for that matter??]

III) Eat, Drink & Be Merry. (Dec 12th)

[Now that all that is taken care of...

It's time to drink.

Maybe.

Salieri can do plenty of that later. It is a lively celebration for sure. There are warm, kind faces all around and plenty of fun and mischief (mischief for ones like his Bonded) to get into. He's already taken it upon himself to keep vigil over them when they decide to show up, but for now he's taken to coveting a certain spot at one of the tables were foods and sweets alike have been graciously lined up and served. This time he isn't going at every dessert available– instead, he's brought his own dish to place down along with the others. With a contented smile Salieri removes the dish rag from the pan and reveals what he's brought... which is:

Cinnamon rolls with mascarpone cream cheese frosting.
] Please help yourselves. Once you've had a single bite, I can promise you won't be able to hold back.

[By the way Salieri smiles smug and assured, it looks like they might be worth a try!]

IV) Kiss-tletoe. (Dec 12th)

[Keeping an eye on his two Bonded and enjoying himself turns out to be a full time job sort of task... and it also proves to distract Salieri quite a bit. So much so that he doesn't realize he's walked straight underneath one of the enchanted sprigs that have been strategically hung everywhere.] Ah— Well—

[And now he's stuck under it... with you??]


Holiday Cookie Making | (Dec 14th)

[It truly does help to have friends in high places.

Or in this case, friends in delicious places.

Which is what Salieri has, and how he was able to reserve a small section of a bakery's kitchen to himself. He prided himself as a loyal customer, surely— dedicated and always eager to try their latest creations and treats. But baking sweets such as cookies all by himself?

Well, he's just a bit less confident about that.

Which is why he's recruited help, of course. By now Salieri has familiarized himself with the locations of the ovens, sinks and supplies they'll need to bake and decorate. It's an old-fashioned kind of kitchen, but it'll certainly be enough for more than one person to be running around in. He's laid out most of the ingredients, and even has a pre-made ball of dough sitting on the counter top. As far as he's concerned he isn't missing anything. Hopefully. He occupies himself with slipping on his kitchen gloves in a painstakingly slow manner.

Now all that is left to do is wait for his help.

Wildcard!

[ Shiro picks up one of the cinnamon rolls - it really does look good - and takes a bite. It's not overly sweet which is what he'd been concerned over. ]

Wow. [ He smiles. ] That's really good.

[ ooc; sorry for the late reply, holiday season is taxing. ]

Not really, but I like it. It isn't too sweet.
