[ SNOWED IN. ]

[trollingismagic.insanejournal.com]

[ Now that you have accustomed yourselves to the luxurious Isle de Bermuda, and settled into the guesthouses, it's time to ring in the Winter season with... Winter! Eureka's power has grown a little, what with Maria and the others talking about her, and with this extra boost of magic comes a change in weather, to something more... seasonal. You will awake to discover that a snowstorm has blown in and blanketed the island in festive white. Somehow, the mansion already has lights strung up for the occasion.

Snowmobiles will also be found in the adjacent garage, where no snowmobiles previously existed! Lastly, igloos. There are random igloos in the woods. ]

[Equally badass. She lived in a world where it snowed pretty much never.]

It's rather nice, really. It's so rare that I've gotten to see snow that wasn't some novelty I created for that little bitch...

[jumpsuited_rat.insanejournal.com]

[Well, that's good. She'd rather her new ally be as close to full power as she can at most times.

So she was in charge of most of the snow where she was from? That's rather odd.]

[destroyforlove.insanejournal.com]

[Pretty much. Not a lot of Ile involved in ice and snow. It wasn't a very common magic.]

It's almost like this Lady Eureka is trying to win my favor... Not quite working, but I"ll enjoy it none the less

[Okay that's a little conceited but Alcyone is Alcyone.].

[jumpsuited_rat.insanejournal.com]

[Not even during winter?

Whatever the reason for the snow, at least Alcyone was enjoying it. It doesn't really effect Chell either way.]

[destroyforlove.insanejournal.com]

[Nope you get one time of magic and that's all. Not that she even knows what "winter" is. They didn't have that in Cephiro.]

[jumpsuited_rat.insanejournal.com]

[So the only season is magic? That's pretty interesting. Wouldn't it get boring? Or does the magic keeps things interesting?]

[destroyforlove.insanejournal.com]

[It helps if you really really like the magic that chooses you. And if you have a decent job using it. She was a court sorceress, working directly for the princess, so she was pretty important and got to do all sorts of cool stuff for a while there.]

[jumpsuited_rat.insanejournal.com]

[How many different types of magic are there? Do you have any powers besides ice, Alcyone?]

[destroyforlove.insanejournal.com]

[Infinite probably. She's never really looked into the subject. She has a few creatures she can summon and she can apparently make poisons or something, but she prefers on just shooting giant icicles at people.]

[jumpsuited_rat.insanejournal.com]

[So she can do all sorts of magic, but specializes in ice?]

[destroyforlove.insanejournal.com]

[No, mostly just ice and then can sometimes do a few little other things, only because she had such a powerful teacher. Magic in Cephiro is dumb and weird.]

[jumpsuited_rat.insanejournal.com]

[That does sound rather strange. Chell isn't used to magic either way, so she wouldn't know the difference.]

[destroyforlove.insanejournal.com]

[Magic is dumb and whatever you're suited for tends to choose you. Unfortunately one of the stupid kids she had to try and kill had fire. Ice isn't good against fire.]

[jumpsuited_rat.insanejournal.com]

[So magic is sort of like a personality test? Fire is fairly strong against most things, except water.]

[destroyforlove.insanejournal.com]

[Sort of, except what magic chooses you doesn't generally say much about you as a person. It's weird. Magic is crazy stuff. Another girl had water, and she also kicked Alcyone's ass. Damn kids and their instant bonds of friendship and all that shit.]

[jumpsuited_rat.insanejournal.com]

[It sounds like it's rather ridiculous. Water beat ice? That doesn't make sense.

Chell doesn't know much about the bonds of friendship, her "friends" aren't really all that great.]

[destroyforlove.insanejournal.com]

[Yeah, sadly pokemon rules don't apply here. Getting all righteous and strong willed tends to boost magical power where she comes form and unfortunately, those kids got really serious about making sure each other didn't die. So Alcyone got the short end of the stick.]

[jumpsuited_rat.insanejournal.com]

[Apparently neither does common sense. Chell has plenty of strong will, so maybe she wouldn't have fared too badly.]

[destroyforlove.insanejournal.com]

["The strength of the heart the believes becomes magic." That's the only mantra. you don't need logic or common sense so long as you're blindly devoted to a cause.]

[jumpsuited_rat.insanejournal.com]

[Does staying alive count as a cause? Because Chell is pretty devoted to that.]

[destroyforlove.insanejournal.com]

[Well if killing yourself counts, staying alive probably counts too. So sure. Chell probably would have done rather well in Cephiro with her level of persistence.]

[jumpsuited_rat.insanejournal.com]

[Chell somehow manages to find ways to always come out on top, even if she has to go through a bit of trouble to do so.]

[destroyforlove.insanejournal.com]

[Alcyone really isn't that lucky, but that's what she gets for not being the main character.]

[jumpsuited_rat.insanejournal.com]

[Chell's a main character, but some people argue that the real main character is GLaDOS. Make of that what you will.

Still, she's stubborn enough to find her own way through things.]

[destroyforlove.insanejournal.com]

[Well that would put them in similar places. Sort of. Except that at the core of her actions, Chell wasn't trying to save GLaDOS. In a way, Alcyone hates herself for that, but she wouldn't change her decisions if she had the chance.]
