[There's a chill in the air and a smile on Mia's face as she gets herself ready for the day. For once, she isn't headed straight to work at the crack of wintry dawn; instead, she bundles up and puts a set of skates into her shoulder bag. Before she ducks out the door, she flips her journal open to leave the world a message.]

As Captain Sparrow has so generously provided a skating area in the village to use, I will be there this afternoon if anyone would like to learn how to skate. The weather is perfect for it today. [There's a break in the clouds - for a while - and a peek at the sun they haven't seen in days.] It's only a little tricky to learn, but I'm sure anyone can get the hang of it with a little practice.

[And off she goes! The morning is for Caius and Seto - one after the other - since she did promise them individually and neither is quite the type to learn while others are watching.]

[[ooc: This is set on the 18th, before the truly heavy snow sets in for the event!]]

Yes. Maybe I could have made that clearer initially. I hope it doesn't confuse too many people.

So what if I invited like my whole house out to try and do the lessons?

That would be a lot of people for me to try to demonstrate for all at once.

There's only like three people, but you think?

Have any of you done it before?

I don't think so? I dunno about Eyebrows though.

Three at once is still a bit much. But I would try.

Nah, I wouldn't wanna put pressure on you. But you're our neighbor, Mia, right? I'll ask Shiemi if she wants to go.

[As a Masterful Plan to get Shiemi more girl friends]

All right. Let me know if she says yes, so I can expect you.

[Alalalla.... and seven or so minutes later-] She did! ...So I'll just send her? [After all, Mia said more people would be more awkward]

If she wants to come today. More people than I really expected have been interested, so if another time is better for her, then it is for me, too.

Well if it's too much for you, we can just come some other day...? [He's really just trying to make it fun for Shiemi while being accommodating for Mia here. And really, it's not like there's a rush anyway] Like what, it's not like we're busy-- actually, hold on.

[Well that's Rin's journal shoved over to her. Um-]

E-eh... Hello?

Hello. Did Rin need to step away for a moment? [She has no idea what just happened.]

He- he gave me the journal! Um... well we're pretty much free any day...

What about tomorrow afternoon then? [She sounds so nervous! Mia doesn't want to throw skating at her if she's not ready.]

Su-sure! That would be great!

You know, you don't have to do it if you're worried. [Gently, like she thinks maybe an outspoken neighbor is pushing too hard in the background and wants to be polite about it.]

N-no! I can do it! Really!

Of course you can! I just did not want you to feel forced. I will see you tomorrow, then.
