Spindizzy Winter Olympics 2026 Snowman Contest

Mako shouts "Behold! We shall begin muster for the Olympic Snowman Contest shortly, please come to the Endless Winter, at N11 e!, and bring warm clothes! :3"  (Public-shout)
Tss'Renia .wavs, "n11 e1 I suppose."
Tss'Renia street luges away!

Kiree shouts "Everyone prepare and get frosty!"  (Public-shout)
You sit on a street luge (it resembles a long skateboard) and zip directly there!
Endless Winter [N11 E1](#14643RLJ)
The northern lights shine like rainbow curtains in the sky, turning the landscape of snow and ice into technicolor neon.
 
An open park-like area mirrors the idylls of greeting cards and children's books with fluffy white snow, a glassy frozen pond suitable for ice skating. A elliptical courtyard of sorts has been cleared an de-iced for safe and easy walking, though its pavement is a flat, milky crystal that might be mistaken for ice. At one focus on the ellipse is a crackling fire pit set about with skewers of marshmallows, meat, vegetables, or fruit for roasting. At the other focus a fountain of transparent quartz flows with super-cooled water, decorating itself and any object held in the spray with a shining coat of rime in floral and geometric figures.
 
All around are evergreen trees glossy and richly colored with health as well as smaller, including holly bushes with bright red berries. More exotic plants grow among them, including the [firesap] tree, its fruit hanging like iridescent globes encasing pale, swirling flame.
 
Behind the courtyard is what looks like a castle built to a grand scale from ice, its pointed spires glistening in the aurora.
  
As one moves out from the center, the forest grows denser and darker.
        The cold air is still and crisp.  Bright stars illuminate the eerie winter wonderland.  It's about 2 am from the way the place feels.

Mako waaiver
Crys zooms in and screeches to a halt!  Street luging.
Crys has arrived.
Crys pads in
Tss'Renia .wavs, "Hello Crys!"
Crys waves a paw, smiling
Tss'Renia .wavs, "I heard good things about you."
Crys takes their robe off and hangs it neatly on a tree branch, then dives into a pile of snow, wiggling around into it and popping out, eyes brighter, tail wagging faster.
Crys says, "You did, Sparkheart?"
Crys bows to Tss'Renia, rather than curtsying, now that they aren't wearing a robe.
Crys says, "An honor to see you again."
Tss'Renia .wavs, "I am neighbors with Belinda. We talk often. She tells me you are a good kid and how much she looks forward to seeing you."
Crys smiles, "Thank you."
Crys offers Tss'Renia a hug, too.
Mako shouts "Behold! We shall begin muster for the Olympic Snowman Contest shortly, please come to the Endless Winter, at N11 E1, and bring warm clothes! :3 (Sorry for the location number error!)"  (Public-shout)
Tss'Renia hugs Crys, carefully given the size difference, "Are you going to make a snowperson with us today?"
Niny'ah zooms in and screeches to a halt!  Street luging.
Niny'ah has arrived.
Niny'ah changes into a Sheep Satyr (bluedress).
PatchO'Black zooms in and screeches to a halt!  Street luging.
PatchO'Black has arrived.
PatchO'Black opens up the concessions stand!
Mako allows time for people to arrive.
Mako says, "While we wait, who is taking part, who's spectating, for what team, and are there any aspiring judges?"
Athares waves, tailswish. "Athares here for team Mystics and Misfits. Nice to see everyone again."
Tss'Renia .wavs, "Critternet represented by me, under the banner of the Monsters team."
You wroo, "Patashu, Team Dragon."
Crys says, "I am going tomake a snowcreature, yes!"
Crys says, "Oh, should I be on a team?"
Tss'Renia .wavs, "Are you aligned with a team? Could join mine."
Crys scratches behind their jack, "I am not. I'm not sure if I'm more unnatural or magical."
Tss'Renia .wavs, "There is dragons, misfits, monsters, and I forgot if there are other ones."
Mako says, "Don't have to team either if you really don't want to"
Crys says, "I know I'm not a dragon. I will be an unnatural monster."
[OOC] Patashu says, "prewrite done"
[OOC] Patashu doesn't feel alive unless he does it during the event
[OOC] Tss'Renia says, "I thought this was not prewrite?"
[OOC] Athares says, "Doesn't mean you can't. I wrote mine up yesterday"
[OOC] Patashu pauses. Oh, actually, it isn't prewrite isn't it
[OOC] Mako says, "No prewrite needed, but I said you could if you wanted. I don't reccommend it due to how I run things"
[OOC] Patashu cracks knuckles dramatically
Crossblaze zooms in and screeches to a halt!  Street luging.
Crossblaze has arrived.
Crossblaze looms over the audience stands to spectate.
,Kandra zooms in and screeches to a halt!  Street luging.
,Kandra has arrived.
Mako looks around. ".... I'm not sure we'll get anyone else. Pity. all right! So, if you good folk would direct your attention to the giant snowfield before us.....
Crys turns and watches the snowfield, looking like they're expecting to be quizzed on it.
Athares earflares, surveying over the field, picking out a prospective spot for what he has in mind.
Mako says, "And to the table over there>>>>> (just out of frame) of various bits of coal and clothing, buckets, chisels, etc......"
Athares . o O ( Nothing more convenient than a quantum supply table. )
Mako says, "Your goal here is to contstruct the best snowbeing you can, within the assigned time frame! You are going to be judged on the following qualities: Quality: How good your item is structurally. Originality: How clever you are! And Technique, how well you put it together! (Ie, how well you describe it, how clever you are, and how well you can pose actually DOING it. Process can matter!)."
Featherwing zooms in and screeches to a halt!  Street luging.
Featherwing has arrived.
[OOC] ,Kandra will almost certainly be too sleepy to participate.
Mako FW-waves. 
Mako says, "Participating or just spectating? :P"
( A gaggle of kobolds inspect the Goods, tails wagging. )
Featherwing thinks he's gonna try his paw at it for Team Dragon. He has a design in mind.
Mako Will verbatim, sec
Crys rubs their paws together with anticipation, not turning their gaze from the snow field.
[OOC] Tss'Renia writing!
Mako produces a whistle. "You have an hour! (No pose limit but please do not make my head explode)
Athares looks around. Who's taking front stage (Going first)? He tends to be polite and defer.
Patashu has a look of 'an hour? easy' on him as he walks out into the snow field leisurely, accompanied by a gaggle of kobolds and a tarp-wrapped cart containing something tall. Seems he's bringing something from out of field! He dramatically announces to the audience! "Snowman building, a pasttime of suburban kids and avant garde art exhibitions alike. Naturally, such an illustrious field is ripe to be automated with TECHNOLOGY!" He rips the tarp off the cart, revealing the Weather Machine!
drop weather machine
Dropped.
l weather machine
A white marble statue stands here on a pedestal, 25 feet tall, of a feral oriental dragon, fur flowing down its curled back, scales etched in diamond and vertically underbanded belly patterns, whiskers and antennae rushing back as though held in some strong wind, standing upright on its hindlegs and gazing down with a regal and wise face, the eyes glowing warm purple. A raised platform on the front of the pedestal commemorates it as 'Zephyros, God of Storms' and ends in a touchscreen showing a list of weather conditions, with text-to-speech and braille accessibility options. (chweather #list to see the list, chweather name to swap to that weather)

Currently, the weather is Cool, powdery snow is fluttering down from the sky and accumulating on the landscape around you.
[OOC] Mako says, "Technically I don't have a pose order in mind but if people wanna take turns it helps. :x"
Featherwing rrs, "I make no promises on cranial explosions but will do my best!"
Crys, actual kid, goes about this much differently. They find a spot on the field carefully away from anyone else's and make sure to leave generous margins to avoid accidentally taking someone else's resources, and dives in the snow. They burrow and use their hindpaws like an arctic fox digging to move snow around. They jump up and get more snow and start pushing it around, getting a long, low hill together. Bounding around in the cold seems to suit them quite well, at least.
Somewhere on the muck, Yanheng has connected.
fluffy zooms in and screeches to a halt!  Street luging.
fluffy has arrived.
PatchO'Black sorts the t-shirts...
Athares picks a spot that's mid-rung, close enough to be easily seen but not hogging the front. He smiles to Patashu and nods; that's a utility we can all use! Nevertheless, he begins with a snow shovel, smoothing flat his workspace before piling and packing a nice vertical mound of snow, and more, and more. Just barely bigger than he is! He tosses the shovel back- catches it with his tail, and starts shaping the snow with his hands, using the tail-held shovel to add more snow and fling away excess when needed. He uses a bit of water shaping magic, a subtle bluish glow-trail along where he smooths down the snow marking where it briefly melts and instantly re-freezes into a solid ice shell over a still snowy interior, letting him start a snow-Xedwan with an ice sculpture's sharp features and details. Seems he's picked enough room for multiple works...
Niny'ah's just spectating this time. head isn't With It enough
Vahno zooms in and screeches to a halt!  Street luging.
Vahno has arrived.
fluffy patpetpots Vahno!
Vahno says, "Hoi."
Athares waves! We've already begun, he's shaping his first sculpture. (want a quote?)
[OOC] Vahno says, "Please!"
[OOC] Athares says, "Sent, from when Mako started things going"
[OOC] Tss'Renia says, "Ready, large verbatim when greenlit."
[OOC] Vahno says, "Well, guess I wasn't too lat.e"
Crys keeps hauling and climbing and nauling and climbing, clamboring up on the hill and packing snow down until they have a long, low hump taller than they are. Once it's solid enough it doesn't end up collapsing under their weight, they move back and forth over the top, patting and pushing, roughing in a roundish, flattish shape. They climb down, pushing snow in at the sides and packing it in, making soft growly-gekkery sounds under their breath as they climb and hop around.
Patashu grins, with flourish of tail and wings! "Witness the power of the Weather Machine! With nought but a localized blizzard, a snowdragon will be printed before your very eyes!" As he stands there, the kobolds are already operating the dashboards and switchboards, the statue's eyes FLASH and a howling snowstorm floods Patashu's part of the field! ... Including where Patashu is.
PatchO'Black checks on the hot dogs...
Athares notes the time and keeps pace. He plans to make a series; the first would be just barely taller than him if it weren't crouching down a bit. He gives this one full attention to detail, using his claws to run lines evoking the look of fluff in an otherwise glossy sculpture, the sculpture's head tilted slightly, tongue sticking just out the side of its snout with a pair of shiny green marbles serving as eyes- are they glowing a bit? Yes. A green and grey scarf goes on, a pen clipped to the right one of those floppy ears. Looks like the statue is, itself, posed to be holding or shaping something, given an expression of focus and meticulous care in its actions. He gives it a full set of clothes with each section, feet frozen into snowboots, grey baggy pants long enough to bunch up over those boots, a button-up blue coat like a parka up top. The statue's build isn't as fit as Athares' himself, more like what you'd imagine a desk jockey Xedwan to look like, though Athares adjusts the freeze to make gloss-line markings along its cheeks, arms, and hands, palms polished to gloss-glow with fingers ending pinched-to-point claws of shiny transparent ice, as though the statue itself were casting an ice-shell spell! Though it seems to be missing most of its tail?
Mako eyebrowraises. Whoops!
Crys scampers off to one side and sketches a little outline in the snow, studying it, then they sketch another, before climbing back up and moving back and forth over the sculpture. Eventually they manage to put enough work into the back that it looks like they've dug a little bit of a large, furred beast's hindquarters out of the snow, in a rough and blocky way. They don't worry about cleaning it up, and instead focusing on trying to rough in the rest of the back, climbing down to shape the sides. They leave the front mostly untoucched, and the very back, focusing on the middle.
[OOC] Tss'Renia says, "Verbatim incoming!"
<Verbatim start: Tss'Renia>
Tss'Renia calls all the nodes to attention. One marten, and 128 squirrels. Using heavy machinery and a metal dragon, the Critternet compact snow into a neat little square. While a marten starts sculpting from the snowy square, various squirrels make enormous ice cubes using a polyvinyl tub. The squirrels fill the tube with a garden hose, which was unfrozen by handheld devices that add kinetic energy into matter. The cube of water is turned to ice using the same handheld devices, but in reverse, removing kinetic energy from matter. All the squirrel scurry here and there, working together to freeze water into ice as fast as possible. Once aquired, the squirrels use a very fine anti-proton beam, the squirrels work in tandem to cut sheets of ice. One crew of squirrels hold the handheld anti-proton knife, and the other hold the dispersion and neutralization device. Here, this handheld device is singular, and "handheld" is relative. Handheld for a six foot tall creature? Yes. For 2^6 3cm squirrels? Team effort!
 
The marten and dragon sculpt what seems to be a snowman, sitting on a box and hunched over a table made of a large block of ice, assembled by the squirrels, left over from their construction. His face is gaunt. His facial features, realistic with sunken eyes and cheeks. Except for the carrot stuck on his nose, and the straight smile made out of pebbles along with the small rocks for eyes. The sculpture is misted with water, allowing the cold air to freeze and give the snowman extra durability. A trenchcoat is fitted on top of the snowman for completeness by the dragon, using a handheld emitter to materialize the item of clothing around the sculpture without disturbing it. A scarf along with a brain bucket are added to the snowman.
 
Onto the table made of a solid chunk of ice, an actual tablecloth with a ceramic plate. Onto the plate, real toasts with beans on top. The empty can of beans is nearby the plate on the table of ice. The scene is made complete by the squirrels assembling what seems to be a 'tent' made of ice sheets and features a large enough opening for dragon-sized creatures to inspect the interior and the main feature. The various sheets are held up by supporting wooden sticks, and glued together using the same technique of mist-spraying, using snow for mortar, and freezing as earlier.
 
The scene gives the impression of a soldier eating a rationed meal in the midst of a global conflict. The light shines through the tent of ice still.
<Verbatim end:   Tss'Renia>
[OOC] Patashu says, "Cool!"
Patashu looks shocked, and then 'oh, that makes sense' as he's frozen into a dramatic, impressive snow-dragon-sculpture! He tries to pull off a wing flourish and a claw rise and a tailswish as he's frozen in place but he clearly didn't have time to think this through. As the machine powers off, the kobolds giggle and place carrot horns and a coal horn stub on Patashu. Clearly there was a miscommunication here...
Athares . o O ( A clash of whimsy and somberness. Many statements could be read from that. )
Athares, looking at Tss'Renia's work.
Crys moves to the back and starts carefully moving away from of the blockier snow with both hands, using their tail to brush away an outer layer more carefully. They form the huge haunch of a wolf and the hindquarters, and a fluffy tail of snow (just a curved snake for now) next to it, and move around to do likewise on the other side. They pad down to the front of their creation and start working on the forelegs, paws stretched out in front of it. Not wanting to have to deal with matters of structural integrity, they start rounding a head out of snow laying on the forepaws. They pad up and down the sculpture, patting and pushing and brushing, increasing the level of detail using fingers and claws, before they run over to the table and pick up a butter knife and dental picks and start working on details of the paws, gouging snow out between the toes and hollowing the insides of the ears.
Athares' next sculpture is made under the first's hands as though the first were making it- ah, a snow-robot half as tall, like an ice golem if with an unfinished ice-shell and so without sharp details. Handy the classic tank-tread bottom doesn't need solid feet to stand up, a thick torso section given just enough definition to look like there's plating over a battery pack, the head shaped vaguely like a Xedwan's with divets at the eyes; Athares adds some ash to blacken the front of the eyes before giving them an ice gloss to look like camera lenses. It has two arms with just enough shell to hold together, plated and jointed with three finger graspers, one looking like it should be holding a tool of some kind.
Vahno holds up a pair of snowballs. "So, Niny. Think I should make an addition to Pata's... ah... sculpture?"
( A kobold yanks Vahno onto the field. "Audience participation!" As the other kobolds cheer! )
Mako says, "Please refrain from interfering with the contestants. Unless they're really asking for it. :x"
Athares looks to Vahno, Pata, smirks a bit.
Athares . o O ( He kind of is, by proxy at least. )
Vahno acks?! "W-wait, what?!"
( The kobolds look to Mako. One says, "If it wasn't Vahno, we were going to do it!" "This is more fun!" )
Tss'Renia pads over to Crys and looks over the snowwolf.
Crys breaks off the tip of one ear and gekkers with annoyance. They stare at the snow and scoop up another handful, spitting on it and packing it together and putting it atop the creature's head again as they start packing and building the ear, keeping one hand behind it so they don't break it again while they scrape out the inside, using the curved side of the butter knife. They switch to it and the dental picks to do a bit more detail on the creature's mouth and paws. After fussing a good bit, working from the top down so they don't have to climb on stuff they've just detailed, they pad back over to the table and pick up a broom and a rake, and pad over to use both to start giving the snow a 'furred' texture. They go a bit too hard with the rake and end up having to sweep things back into shape and try again
Vahno says, "...Y'all have no idea what I was planning."
Tss'Renia offers Crys its misting bottle.
Vahno glances around... then addes the snowballs to Pata's chest.
( While Vahno is doing that, some kobolds cheer loudly to distract him, the Weather Machine getting powered on once again, whirrr... )
Crys smiels, "Thank you, Creature." They take the bottle and try to mist the more detailed areas so wind is less likely to blow them away. And they follow up every combing that they're more or less happy with with a light misting. They then run off to the table and get a chisel before wandering far afield, and returning with two icicles. They pad back and install them in the wolf's mouth, one on either side for fangs, though one is notably about four inches longer than the other.
Athares takes an actual laser evaporator to an ice block for the next sculpture, reverse-laser-printing a small raptor-esque spirit-in-ice- one leg remains unfinished, ice block for a foot. It's posed leaning forward with a happy fluffy smile, feathery arms reaching into the snow as though to make a snowball. Once done, Athares puts the laser in the grasper of the prior robot aimed at the unfinished leg.
Vahno grins and patpats Patashu. Gotta make sure nothing falls off. ...wait, what's that sound?
( Vrrrrr-FWWWWOOOOOOOSSSSHHHHH. Vahno is buried in snow and cold and flash frozen. )
Crys pads around and repairs the tail, taking a bit of time to brush it and make it nice and fluffy looking. They had, uh, stepped on it a few times when fixing the rest of the wolf. The tail isn't very detailed, snow curved partway around and made to look like stylized fluff. THough once that's done they return the tools to the table and stand in front of the sculpture.
Athares' raptor isn't just making a snowball though; between its claws is-
( The tiniest snow-rodent. )
Athares deliberately leaves it vague to what they're meant to be, the one in its claws only half-shaped but there are a few already done in front of it. A few complete the circle back to the snow-Xedwan, ferrying cylindrical chunks- oh. Tail sections. To build the snow-Xedwan's missing tail, a snow mound piled up towards it with tiny snow-mice-things working like ants hoisting a section into place.
PatchO'Black hugs Borris, afar!  
Athares finishes by writing in the snow in front of it with his tail: 'Recursive Creation'.
Vahno is frozen solid...
[OOC] PatchO'Black says, "I'm going to need to head out."
[OOC] Mako hugs a patchy. Okaythen!
[OOC] PatchO'Black hugs cousin Mako!
( The kobolds delicately put coal 'eyes' and a carrot 'nose' on Vahno and high five each other. :3 )
Athares crosses his arms a moment, smirks. Looks to Crys and work, "Raising a wolf-sphinx with only kitchen and yard tools. That actually is decently impressive, good work." Then to Vahno. Just, smirks. The temptation is there but- nah. Wouldn't be good conduct to mess with another's entry.
PatchO'Black takes out his calico flute and play a short tune, taking him away...
PatchO'Black has left.
Tss'Renia noses Crys, "Well done, creature!"
Crys says, "Thank you, Creature!"
Crys bows to Athares for the first and says to Tss'Renia, "Thank you."
Vahno wobbles slightly.
Patashu frozenly gives Vahno a look like 'this is what you get'
Mako says, "When you are complete, please flag me, by the way, so I know to review properly. :P"
Tss'Renia .wavs, "Oh, mine is done."
Athares nods, stepping aside from his. "I think we all are?"
Crys says, "I am done, Creature."
( The kobolds ahem, "I believe Patashu is done." :3c )
,Kandra falls asleep.
Dawnwing aaaas Patashu, from afar!  Can I watch it get built?
You eeee Dawnwing, afar!  
Somewhere on the muck, Dawnwing has connected.
Vahno . o O ( Dang it! It was just a prank! )
,Kandra wakes up.
Austin arrives from The Aethereal Tundra (N11 E0).
Austin has arrived.
Featherwing has disconnected.
fluffy nesets Austin!  I suppose it never even occured to you that he might be French.
fluffy transitive-verbs Austin!
Featherwing has connected.
Austin says, "Hey there.  Sorry to run late; had RL stuff dragging me away."
[OOC] Featherwing acks, buffer cleared... :( Reworking.
fluffy says, "Oh, were were all supposed to be building our snowpeople in parallel?"
fluffy says, "I wasn't sure what the queue conceit was."
Somewhere on the muck, Yanheng has disconnected.
Athares nods to fluffy. "I think most of us weren't until we just started doing it like this."
fluffy says, "I see."
Mako says, "I was not holding to any specific order, no. If I missed you wantin g to participate, I'm sorry. o.o Still time! I just need to know, and what team if any you represent, and I verbatim the rules."
Mako waves to Austin too. "No worries, still in progress tho some have finished.
fluffy hms, and gets out three ice cream scoops of different sizes from her The thing your aunt gave you which you don't know what it is. She uses each one to scoop up a ball of snow, and then stacks them atop one another.
fluffy says, "Oh, I came in late is all. I'm on Team Otherwise Other."
fluffy opens up a bag of superpositional Smarties and uses them to put a little face on the smallest, topmost ball, with little eyes and a nose.
Mako jots it down! Roger!
fluffy puts a cute little felt hat on top of the head, and attaches a couple of twigs to the middle ball, resembling the saddest little spindly arms.
fluffy takes a step back and looks at the little snowfiend, and then sits down, satisfied.
fluffy pat-pet-pots the little snowfiend.
[OOC] Tss'Renia says, "undertale fan detected?"

Featherwing sets out a holotemplate of a certain new Mega Pokemon and begins packing it with snow from the machine. After the packing is finished, tools come out to form the bits and pieces of a Mega Dragonite! From the beaded tail to the giant ear wings, no detail is missed! Once the design is complete, out come the spraypaints! From cream for the bellyridges, arm and earwings to the orange of the body and cerulean of the tailbead. The finished product glistens in the light of the area. "Phew!"
[OOC] Tss'Renia says, "Also, hOi. hOives. 'Hi im bob'. chOives. WHOMST. Though, I think Whomst might have been fantrash because I could never find the original."
Mako watches all the creations.... FW's is last, she thinks.
[OOC] Mako says, "Is that everyone? This is kinda tough. @.@"
[OOC] fluffy says, "whomst was a big Tumblr thing for years"
Crys seems happy enough to stand in the cold wind. They even flop over and roll around in the snow for a bit before springing back up, bouncing on their paws
[OOC] Tss'Renia says, "I still use whomst. At work even. I know it is incorrect. I care not!"
[OOC] Crys says, "'Whomst' isn the superlative form of 'whom', and it is correct to use it in, for example, "To Whomst It May Concern" if it concerns /themst and themst in particular/."
Athares thankfully in his case he's dressed warm and fluffy as ever on top of it. He looks to Patashu and Vahno though... eh they're not going to get any -more- frozen.
[OOC] Tss'Renia says, "For real? o_o"
[OOC] Crys says, "No ;)"
Patashu FW-approves, naturally!
[OOC] Crys says, "But when I see 'whomst' my brain parses it as some weird superlative probably because of 'most'."
[OOC] Crys says, "And 'best' and whatever"
[OOC] fluffy says, "whomst'ven't"
[OOC] Crys says, "However, notice the quotations https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/whomst"
[OOC] Austin says, "Huh!  The Muse in Many Moods, how about that?"
Mako takes notes.... "Who is still waiting?"
fluffy fusses with the little snowfiend's cute little hat.
fluffy says, "I guess I'm done."
[OOC] Tss'Renia says, "Oh, so it is archaic, but not incorrect."
[OOC] Tss'Renia says, "Had, well, plays well into my linguistic constraints, really."
Mako hovers along, giving each creation a look as she goes. They're all good! o.o; tough choice...
Tss'Renia eats some of their Calico cat candy.
Somewhere on the muck, Voksa has connected.
[OOC] Mako is rereading backscroll, so forgive, this is why I leave extra time. Also since I'm the only judge I'm trying to be fair. o.o
Tss'Renia  opens the box flower and reaches within before plucking a nugget from the bunch, the nugget is then eaten swiftly, it seems like they enjoyed it!
Mako claps her hands together. "OKAY! I Thiiiink I have a decision here. This is a tough call, to be honest. o.o"
Austin claps preemptively!
( Kobolds lean in? )
Mako says, "BunnyHugger will be distributing medals a little later, possibly tomorrow or the day after, as I am given to understand she is running a tad late due to some potential technical difficulties, but we still have to give you the awards, such as they are, so!"
fluffy picks up her little snowfiend and holds it in her lap.
Austin says, "Oh, they're not potential.  They are actual technical difficulties and she is a very _cross_ BunnyHugger right now."
Featherwing nods.
Athares ohs, "Goodness. May they be swifly resolved."
Mako gestures to Tss'renia! "A clever tableau using snow and ice in a way I hadn't thought of, and a veritable army of small critters! Today, you get the Gold!"
Tss'Renia :O
( Kobold applause! )
Mako snaps her fingers and places a little ice sculpture trophy in front of the tableau in lieu of medal for now. :x
Athares smiles, applauds!
Crys leans back and howls quietly in appreciation
Austin nods, unfortunately not something fixable tonight, but by Wednesday absolutely.
Austin claps!
Tss'Renia .wavs, "Thank you" ;;
Somewhere on the muck, Voksa has disconnected.
Featherwing yays for 'Renia! ^w)
Spool zooms in and screeches to a halt!  Street luging.
Spool has arrived.
fluffy spools Spool!
Somewhere on the muck, Voksa has connected.
Mako says, "Next up, a wolfy creature made with effort and dedication! And more or less just by hand. o.o Crys's Wolf in sphynx position. Wolphynx? A most excellent wolf. I do believe you shall get Silver today. :3"
Tss'Renia offers Crys a big hug, "Well done, creature!"
Athares applauds, "Well deserved!"
Featherwing playfully eyenarrows before grinning and applauding. 
Mako says, "For Bronze, no less impressive but I don't want to split the points, we have the snowception scene. ... if we gave you enough time would you go down to the microscopic level? ... micescroscopic? no, that sounds like a rodent thing. Still, well done. Athares, with the bronze. :P"
Crys says, "Thank you."
Crys smiles and hugs Tss'Renia
fluffy hugs her rapidly-melting little tiny pile of snowball scoops. "Hey, at least you tried," she says to it.
Athares grins goofily, steps over, and bows- partly to accept the, well, no medal at the moment, but the appreciation at least. "Eventually it'd go from 'recursion' to 'fractal'. Thank you."
Patashu is being slowly thawed out by kobolds with blow dryers. =w= Guys the weather machine does HOT too. Geez.
Athares . o O ( That would make too much sense. )
Mako then distributes temporary participation ribbons. "Nice try though!" She pins one on Pata. And on the tiny snowfiend. And on the pokesnow. :3
Austin ooohs.  Frozen robots?
fluffy yays! and patpets the snowfiend.
[OOC] Patashu says, "and uploaded https://wiki.spindizzy.org/index.php?title=Spindizzy_Winter_Olympics_2026_Snowman_Contest"
Mako says, "I'd offer to help, pata, but I'm told that for Insurance Reasons I can't go fireballing people. :x"
Athares . o O ( I would help, but, I don't want to ruin those kobolds' fun. )
Patashu thumbs up, understands fully
Featherwing feigns indignance. "No one appreciates simple art these days. Ah, well. Good work, all!"
Vahno Wobblewobbles... and falls over.
[OOC] Tss'Renia says, "Thank you for the wonderful event, Mako! Now, I will turn into a pumpkin."
[OOC] Athares says, "Indeed, thanks for hosting!"
Tss'Renia has left.
