[...and Chibita is not a great ice skater. Not for a lack of trying, though! He's determined!! So determined, in fact, that despite falling several times, once he finally gets the hang of it, that overabundance of newfound confidence means he just...bites off a little more than he can chew. Though at first, when he started to pick up speed, he was practically cackling with delight and pride in himself.
Unfortunately, this overabundance of confidence also means that he's not exactly watching where he's going...and it's not until a split second before collision that he actually notices that someone's in his way--either on purpose or on accident. Either way, he can't exactly stop, so all he has time for is something like a squawk before he's colliding with whomever happens to have unwittingly wandered into his path.]
[The Evenin' star is shining bright, so make a wish and hold on tight.]
[It's absolutely freezing outside but well worth it by Chibita's estimation. He's managed to wrap himself in warm clothes and a couple blankets and find a nice spot on the beach to spread out a blanket and settle and watch the northern lights. It's not exactly something he's ever seen, and he's certainly endured far worse cold for far less worthy causes. Besides, with the cup of hot chocolate he's got combined with the personal pot of oden on a small single burner, he's pretty cosy. He looks almost small and solitary, sitting there by himself, still and for once rather quiet as he stares upwards...but there still plenty of room on the blanket for any visitors.]
[Elsa? Is that you? - Ice Maze pt 1]
[Chibita....is lost. He is very lost. So lost that he's starting to get rather frustrated, jogging from one dead end to the next, his swearing getting more and more colorful with each wall he runs into. In his agitation, he's stopped in the middle of one of the pathways, stamping his foot angrily] Goddammit, the hell, ya idjit! How do I get out of here?! [he scowls at the ice walls around him, his eyebrow twitching as it offers him no solution] Let me out! [and he's going to...er...try and kick the wall. Unfortunately, as he pulls his leg back and swings it at the wall, he fails to calculate that he's standing on ice. Which predictably happens to be the time that his other foot slips out from under him, and he yelps as he falls onto the hard ice floor.]
Ow! [he sure is clutching his head now, having banged it pretty hard on the ice] This sucks!
[Thanks for the memories - Ice Maze pt 2]
[with great difficulty and with mishaps, Chibita's finally made it to the center. He frowns as he starts to approach the pile...that is, until he spots a familiar piece of equipment poking out of the side.] Eh?! [he immediately runs towards it--nearly slipping and falling on the way there, flailing momentarily to keep his balance--before he skids to a stop, grabbing for a...bazooka.] The hell?! My bazooka! [he grins widely, hefting it happily in his grip as he cackles] Kekeke! I've been wanting this back!
[WILDCARD: There's something to be said for predictability.]
[It's winter. It's cold out. You know what's awesome for winter and cold and all things quite chilly???]
[THAT'S RIGHT NERDS IT'S ODEN CART TIME!!!! Chibita will be out with his cart almost every day/evening near the skating areas, the beach, the castle...wherever you are, you will likely be able to catch a glimpse of his cart with it's 'Hybrid Oden Stand' sign hanging out front, along with a bench and a large turien of bubbling broth with various ingredients inside. Cold weather is a perfect time to drum up business, after all!]
