Three ❅

[subzero]

[So today outside of 1651 Albright Lane, you are going to see quite the sight if you pass by.

Ice sculptures all decked out across the front lawn. Yes someone has been busy and he's still working on one as you nay come by. All of the sculptures vary in size, but the shape is consistent - the figure of a woman, with hair up to her shoulders, carved in all different manners. The drone wife ended up putting something sweet with his dinner and now Victor has reverted back to the days of his youth. A young man in boarding school, studying cryogenics and lovestruck over the woman he wants to marry someday. And finding the freeze gun, one thing led to another and ultimately to the creation of all these statues. All of them nicely made, for his assumingly amateur level of sculpting.

Gawkers and onlookers are welcome, along with anyone who may want to speak to the strange acting man with a heart of ice, but no touching of anything is permitted. Less you want to have consequences, then by all means. While Victor has not yet reached his breaking point and turned into a villain, he is not going to be appreciative of someone trying to break apart his mini-monument garden of Nora. Also he's wearing a pair of spectacles, as seeing without them can be rather difficult, and is dressed in a dark blue winter coat. Needless to say, something strange is occurring.

ooc: I'll probably end up using some younger looking icons in this post, but Victor is not aged down for this candy event.]

Mr. Freeze, did you decide to take up a new hobby?

[subzero]

[Oh, that was Tsukihi wasn't it? He doesn't take anything wrong into account with his name - it is "Fries" after all - and nods.]

I always thought ice sculptures were beautiful, so I thought I try to make some myself. What do you think?

[thebirds]

Hmm... [She walks around inspecting them closely.] Not bad, not bad! For an amateur, these are definitely on the level of decent at least.

[subzero]

[He puts a hand on the back of his neck and gives a sheepish smile. Getting compliments was so rare for him, but he's glad someone likes them.]

Thank you. They're all modeled after my...ah, lover.

[thebirds]

[Oh my god why is he so uguu now this is really disturbing...........]

Oho, a lover? [WHO WOULD HOOK UP WITH THIS GUY I mean.] Could that be the reason for your sudden change in mood?

[subzero]

[He will torture you when this is over, so no word of this will ever come out...]

Well, no, I don't think so. [He frowns momentarily.] What do you mean by 'change in mood'?

[insanefrenchman]

[This...actually seems like a healthier version of what Nox does regularly. The connection is enough to make him pause his investigation of the town. He stands on the sidewalk, a contemplative observer]
Thinking of happier times? Something lost to the past?

[subzero]

[He pauses and turns his head to the stranger.]

Well... [He turns to the sculpture he was working on.] She isn't here. And I admit I miss her.

[thebirds]

[If only she had her immortality regained by then...]

You know, you're way happy now! Platinum happy even. [BADUM-TSH Tsukihi why...]

[subzero]

[He tilts his head a little.] Platnium happy? What does that mean?

[insanefrenchman]

Separated lovebirds, how romantic.

[thebirds]

Just think of it as being as happy as you can possibly be!

[subzero]

I see nothing romantic about it. [He pushes his glasses up.] I thought to practice a new hobby with the spare time I have.

[subzero]

[He nods.]

I don't think I've reached a level of happiness akin to that, but my progress on these sculptures do make things better.

[thebirds]

Then for now I'll call it... hm... Silver happy! Still a bit below platinum, but you're getting there.

[insanefrenchman]

I guess you can take spare time for granted in a dull prison like this. How awfully complacent of you to make hobbies for yourself here.

[Fortunately, Karina has not eaten a chocolate yet. This is going to change soon, but for now, she's strolling up to the yard, looking very amazed by all the ice sculptures. Don't worry, Victor--she's only there to admire, not poke or prod or anything.]

[notmyalice]

[ ....aw :c
well, he's sort of happy, right? ]

Good afternoon, Victor! I see you're keeping yourself busy!

[ he stops to look at the sculptures, smiling awkwardly. this just makes him think of his alice (but she isn't his alice, is she? she isn't anyone's, she is just alice and she should be his but--)

He shakes his head, and looks at the sculptures arranged on the lawn. ]

[Passing by is precisely what Clover was doing until the bizarre sculpture show stopped her right in her tracks. What the heck? What are these even...? Ice?

She'll just be poking one at random now.]

[subzero]

I'll do my best to get to gold, I guess. [Tsukihi you sure are a strange girl. But since she's outside for once, maybe he can get her to stick around for company's sake.] Do you want to try making a sculpture?

[subzero]

[He narrows his eyes.]

Just because I'm making sculptures doesn't mean I'm complacent. I don't have the technology to break their walls at this moment.

[subzero]

[He pauses working on the current sculpture and steps away to observe his work, when his periphery catches sight of Karina. The candy has fogged up some memories, but the sight of the girl in the factory will not likely vanish until he does.

So he waves at her once.]

Good day, Ms. Lyle. Everything going alright?

[subzero]

[As happy as he can be. Even though after this he'll want to freeze whoever caused this mess.]

I am. I thought that I try something different and you can see the results.

[subzero]

Stop, don't touch that!

[Victor doesn't notice Clover at first, but as his head turns and he sees her poking the sculpture he immediately walks over.]

[insanefrenchman]

And I doubt you'll ever, if thermodynamics is your only field.
