[022. Do you wanna build a snowman?]

[When Lydia wakes up that morning her bed is much bigger than she's used to. Her room is the same, but different and it's colder than it should be at home.

Once the lights in her room are on, after she takes a peek out the door and doesn't find the rest of her house, she finds the phone there and has an urge to start the video.

She appears on the camera with hair uncharacteristically out of place, and still in her pajamas.]

Mom? Dad?

[Lydia decided to explore the place she's at. It's not grandma's house but she feels safe enough in this place and she knows her friends are out there. So she dresses herself and makes her way around the ship until she finds the deck. And snow!

She'll start with building a snowman.]



(ooc: Lydia is obviously affected. Replies will come from pricessariel. Although she doesn't remember exactly what happened or what the Barge is, she'll know if people she's friends with approach her and will be inclined to trust them.)

[He sees her get distracted and looks up before quickly looking down again. It's wonderful, but it also makes him a little queasy.]

Yeah, I guess. It's huge, though.

[princessariel]

[She's right back on her task a second later, though.]

It's really huge, I wanna go explore. But I wanna play in the snow more.

[Scott lags a little longer until looking up starts making him feel a little queasy. Then he's back to making his lopsided snowman's head.]

We can do both! It's probably not gonna melt if we go look around.

[princessariel]

[That's a good point, Lydia eyes the snowman for a moment then grins at him and nods.]

Okay! It's cold here, anyway.

[mostlynormal]

[Scott grins, abandoning his misshapen snow man's head and jumping to his feet. He shakes the snow off, crossing his arms to warm his hands.]

Maybe there's a fireplace!

[princessariel]

Maybe! I think I saw one. [She glances at her snowman one more time then stars back into the ship, rubbing her hands together.]

Aren't you a boy from my school? [He looks familiar.]

[mostlynormal]

Um, yeah!

[He sticks his hands under his arm pits, then half skips, half jogs toward the door.]

I'm Scott, and you're Lydia.

[princessariel]

I know your name, Scott.

[She actually did, she was just trying to make sure it really was him first, though.]

Where do we go first?

[mostlynormal]

Oh. Cool. [He wants to say he thought she didn't notice him, but that doesn't feel right either. So he swallows it and just smiles instead.]

I dunno! Wanna see if there's a kitchen?

[princessariel]

[She knows most kids names, she just doesn't talk to them much.]

Yeah, okay. I'm kinda hungry.
