Summary: to cheer everyone up after the event and to celebrate finally getting her act back together, queen elsa is using her powers to create a winter wonderland mini celebration, to bring a little, fun reminder of winter fun despite the hot weather. feel free to tag each other, too!


The Story:



( tea rooms! frozen desserts! )

[ the idea comes to her when it becomes clear that all is well again. or, as well as it can be. it is also clear that many people were as afraid as her. she walks among them and wishes she could do something to help. she has done all she can do to keep those who wanted to hurt others in bay, has kept the ice wall in her floor up as much as she would but now -

elsa is a queen and as such, she thinks she should know what to for morale but that always seemed to be anna's territory rather than her own.

and then the idea comes to use her powers for something - something - well, fun.

those who will wander to the tea rooms will find trays of ice creams scoops, frozen milkshake and other such frozen desserts and one snow queen, graciously waiting. ]

help yourself to whatever it is you want, I thought all could use a treat.


( ice skating )


[ the next day, she will go a bit further. the weather would remain hot but out in the grounds, a make do ice skating rink will appear! at the side, there would be pairs of skates just waiting to be picked up. she asked for several pairs from her own wardrobe but feel free to ask for a brand new pair of your own from yours. either way, get a pair and join the celebration! ]

( snow day! )

[ the last day, she will come out to the garden and grounds and with a swirl of hands, they will be filled with soft, cold snow that won't melt for hours and hours. it will be warm enough but there will be enough snow for snowball fights, snowmen and even to slide around at! elsa herself would be seen going between everyone and every now and then, adding a little more snow it it does melt ]

[thneedifestdestiny]

[He looks up the second he hears someone shouting about a baby pig, and it takes him a minute to figure it out until Mabel pops up, and somehow, he feels like he shouldn't be surprised.] Pfft. Of course he found his way over here.

[He's in good spirits about it though, and he heads right over. For all intents and purposes, he really doesn't look like someone who should be wrangling piglets in the snow. It's actually warm enough outside that left his signature green coat in the greenhouse, but he's still in his nice dress shirt and tie, and he has his green gloves that go all the way past his elbows.]

Yeah, that'd be him - looks like he still remembers you, even after all that weird event craziness.

[Naturally, the Once-ler hasn't paid much attention since then, which is why he's not fully aware that Mabel doesn't remember either of them. Whoops.]

[powerofmabel]

[Mabel looks from the (very) tall guy to the piglet in her arms and she laughs awkwardly. Crud. She knew this would happen. Just play it cool, Mabel.] Yeah, he... sure does remember me. And I remember him- I mean who could forget such a cute little guy. And I definitely remember you... you very tall man with flawless fashion sense.

[thneedifestdestiny]

[The Once-ler raises an eyebrow at her. As flattered as he is by the mention of his incredible sense of fashion, he's not buying the rest of it.]

Uh-huh. You sure sound like you do. I can tell you totally know who I am already, because you definitely remember.

[Honestly, he's more amused than anything. People leave and come back forgetting all the time, and it's not like they knew each other beyond that one event anyhow, so he's not offended or anything. Just teasing her a little for it.]

[powerofmabel]

Hey, I do remember! [Now she's just arguing with him because he's teasing her and she's twelve and she has his pig in a cuddly hostage crisis.] I remember we.. we bonded about having pigs for pets!

[That's just good deductive reasoning Mabel.]

[thneedifestdestiny]

Oh yeah... His name was Wiggles or something, right?

[Something cute and adorable like that. Either that or he's pretending he doesn't know to pick on her since she doesn't clearly remember him....but, honestly he probably just forgot. He hasn't talked to her in like two months so really he's lucky it even sounds anything at all like the pig's name.]

[powerofmabel]

Waddles. [Phew. He doesn't remember much either. She can keep this up.

Or she could get sad about missing Waddles again. She looks down at the baby pig.] It's stupid Wonderland didn't bring him here too. He's the best pig ever. He deserves Wonderland, too.

[thneedifestdestiny]

[Sensing that she seems kind of sad, Boris starts attempting to burrow in her sweater. ...Or, you know. Maybe he just wanted more attention. That could be it too. The Once-ler frowns a bit though.]

Uh. He probably doesn't actually. I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you haven't actually been back all that long, but it's not all baby pigs and snow days in the middle of summer here, kid. This place can get pretty bad. He's safer at home.

[powerofmabel]

[she responds to Boris's snuggling by cuddling him even more.] Wow. Someone's a big grumpy grump. Have you ever been to Gravity Falls? My Grunkle Stan punched a dinosaur in the face once, and we almost got eaten by a monster made out of gross candy. I'm sure I can handle anything "dangerous" here. [She balances the piglet under one arm so she can do the scarequotes.]

[thneedifestdestiny]

[The Once-ler looks surprised by that, and considers it for a moment. Then, he shrugs, giving up.]

Eh. Probably. That sounds pretty on par with all the stupid stuff that happens here.

[powerofmabel]

See? Dipper and I are probably the most prepared people in all of Wonderland. [She gives Boris one more snuggle for good measure and hands him off.] We got this covered.

[thneedifestdestiny]

Eh. You'll probably be alright then. We've definitely had monsters and stuff but that doesn't sound like anything new for you.

[The Once-ler reaches over and takes his piglet, and Boris is okay with this, burying his face in the crook of the Once-ler's elbow.]

I'm the Once-ler, by the way. We didn't know each other well before you left, but we spent like, an entire event knitting sweaters and throwing ball pit balls at unsuspecting people. It was pretty fun, until I got mauled by raccoons.

[She might recognize him as that guy who got banned from the ball pit.]

[powerofmabel]

Oh yeeeeah! That guy. [she really wondered how ANYONE gets banned from a ballpit, but she was also too occupied throwing balls at amethyst to care] Well, anybody who loves knitting, pigs, and ball pits sounds like someone I need to get to know right now.

[thneedifestdestiny]

[Well, he doesn't exactly love ball pits (especially now that he's banned), and Boris just sort of wound up in his care, but knitting has always been a passion of his and that's enough really.]

You should've been here last winter - I'm pretty sure I did like nothing but knit sweaters and scarves and anything I could think of for a whole month. Boris wound up with at least a dozen little pig sweaters alone.

[powerofmabel]

YOU KNIT YOUR PIG SWEATERS??? [EAT IT, GRUNKLE STAN. SHE ISN'T THE ONLY ONE. He's too tall for her to grab more than his pant leg, but she does so with gusto and wide, awed eyes.] I thought I was the only one.

[thneedifestdestiny]

[Her enthusiasm is a little weird, but it's enough to make him chuckle. She's a sweet kid.]

Yeah, I do! If I'd known someone was gonna make it start snowing I would've brought one of them outside with us.

[powerofmabel]

[she releases his leg and shows off her current sweater that has a white rabbit on it.] That's why I always wear a sweater. They're appropriate for any weather!

[no they're not, mabel.

no they're not.]

[thneedifestdestiny]

[Sure they are! Or at least, that's what he used to tell people back when he was selling Thneeds. But he nods along, looking down and appreciating her sweater when she lets go of him.]

Well, it's definitely appropriate now. [Both because it's Wonderland-themed and because there's currently snow everywhere.] This one of your Mabel originals?

[powerofmabel]

All of them are Mabel originals. That's what makes them the best. I've already been making tons of 'em. [Sweaters for every occasion. Every sweater.]

[thneedifestdestiny]

[Back home, he used to get teased for knitting, so it's pretty nice to see a kid embracing it like this.]

Well, that's one way to get good use out of the everything-you-want-for-free closets. [He waves an arm.] Infinite amounts of yarn in every color!

[powerofmabel]

And every kind of fiber! I have chenille sweaters now. And cashmere. [she sighs dreamily.] So soft.

[thneedifestdestiny]

Yeah... [He wavers for a moment, not sure if he should bring this up or not.] ...Back home, I used to work with this material that was softer than anything - even silk! It's uh-- it's not around anymore, and it's a little too rare to get from the closets, but it was the most comfortable thing you could ever imagine. It was like, "rolling around in a pile of kittens" soft.

[powerofmabel]

[her eyes go wide] That is soft. [her lips purse.] But why's it so rare? Is it made from the wool of fluffy unicorns?

[Leave it to Mabel to go to fluffy unicorns before anything else. That sounds suitably rare enough not to be able to get from a closet.]

[thneedifestdestiny]

[Alright, that makes him chuckle a little. Fluffy unicorns would be great.]

No, they uh-- they came from trees actually. These super soft trees that looked like tufts of cotton candy. ...But they're not around any more. All the Truffula trees are gone.

[powerofmabel]

[Mabel's eyes light up, because they sound like the best trees ever, only for her face to fall.] That's so sad. What happened to them?

[thneedifestdestiny]

They...someone cut them all down.

[And that someone looks very guilty as he says it, though he decides not to explicitly say who did it. He's usually pretty upfront about what he's done, but it's pretty difficult to make the words happen when Mabel's looking at him like that.]
