the snow isn't snow. not all of it.
the flurries taste like mint and there are things blending with them. the elders said they sound like ice pixis.
i couldntc atch anything the melt right onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
,e
me
ate on e
but i heard compla;ning

[ obviously someone would complain if they got eaten! a few moments later: ]

the elders have stories about them being part of The Courts, changing the seasons. nasty, mischievous, know how to hold a grudge if you don’t like the cold, but nothing’s happened to me, at least.

does anyone know more about these? any try to catch them to confirm? if they caused this storm, makes a lot more sense.

Eren
what the fuck

[usurpers]

what is it?

Check yourself in to see a medic.

[usurpers]

If I feel anything abnormal, I will. What’s your concern?

[ not hounding her, just genuinely curious. maybe she knew something about these buggers. ]

[guillotine]

”the flurries taste like mint and there are things blending with them”

[usurpers]

Almost sure those things were pixies. Do you know anything about those?

[guillotine]

I’ll tell you if you get checked out for what you may or may not have eaten.

[fiddlestick]

[ Yeah he can only make half of that out. And he can feel the cold coming from the bond ]

Eren please go inside before you freeze.

[usurpers]

I have tea.

[ he's AWAKE and warm now!! no! ]

[usurpers]

[ hm . . . there is little to lose here. ]

Sure. Thanks for the concern, even.

Stop eating pixies, Eren. That can't be good for you.

[But joking aside, the next part... really catches her attention. Courts? That brought the change of seasons?

That's familiar. A little too familiar.]

It wouldn't surprise me if they caused the storm, creatures like that tend to care for little besides their own entertainment. Maybe I'll try to catch a few myself to ask.

[A beat, then another message follows.]

Did you hear anything else about these Courts?

[fiddlestick]

I don't think the tea's helping that much. I can't understand what you're saying.

[usurpers]

Because I just drank it.

There're pixies in the snow and they might've cause the blizzard.

[fiddlestick]

Okay.
Least it's not Dorchacht again then.

[usurpers]

It didn't do anything.

[ . . . let alone eating a pixie doesn't phase him as much as it should. huh. ]

Good luck. They'll run from you, too. And I don't know how many words it actually spoke. [ fire dragons, and all! and squeaky tongue. ] Only the basic stories from around here [ and a little extra ]. Do you know those?

what did it taste like?

[The pixie. And someone needs to ask, right?]

Don't go around eating people. Pixies?

[usurpers]

It’s not for certain. Not even completely sure they really are pixies. It’s just what matches their knowledge more.

Feeling any better?

[usurpers]

Sharp mint, stronger than the flakes. When you inhale your mouth feels fresh, almost icy.

[usurpers]

Not usually.

[ usually ]

They made it sound like lesser faes, but they sound the same to me.

[fiddlestick]

Is there a way to check? If it's real pixies or not?

A little? Fevers not as bad.

[usurpers]

Catching one, probably. They’re translucent and fast. Too fast for me to get another right now, plus they avoid me. The flakes melt almost instantly.

On me, at least.

[fiddlestick]

I see...

If my magic was working properly, I could try catching them with an ice spell. Maybe a monster with ice element?

you what

[How is he even supposed to respond to "I ate one".

It's a while before he offers more of a reply]

i caught some in a jar

the coven told me about the same

their language disappeared when the courts did so nobody could understand them

[rightfoot]

... Yeah. I mean, people don't usually eat people.

[ the fuck, my man ]

I mean, it doesn't really matter what they are. Should you really be eating them?

[ why are people ]
