was this offensive? probably. she was no artist, but she prayed that this was closer to comedy than it was mockery. either way, she tried her best to make a snowman with her pokemon, although the vulpix seemed to have more fun trying to scratch around and sculpt the head.

... and a face on the hat, apparently.

nicole stares at it, slightly dumb-founded, then shrugs her shoulders. it looks like someone she knows..? someone who probably didn't land much an impression on her, anyways.

entry: fernando, who she thinks is the angriest person of them all.

Adrian stepped away from his snowman, swiping the sweat from his brow. His beanie made him feel stuffy and irritable. Letting his hand drop only to raise it up to his chin in appraisal, he gave his abominable creation a quick once over:

Yep. That's one angry snowman.

Which suited it perfectly, seeing as he'd built it around a tall tree stump. Try and wreck this, jerks.

As Aramis completed his masterpiece, carefully placing the baby carrot into the center of its terrifying face, all who beheld the snowman would know that peace had never been an option.

Ah, now this was a snow man. It was made in his own image and after what must have been hours patting down snow to sculpt the near comparable physic he finally put down his mirror and put on his shirt and jacket if only he had the hair.

He had no idea what the prompt was supposed to be he just wanted to look good in snow man form too.

why make a snowman, when you can make a snowwoman? right, they had to be angry-- oh! she had a great idea! we'll make her a pretty stantler, getting ready for a christmas party! she could be looking into the mirror, and be like "oh my gosh" and be SO angry with how long her friend's taking! this would work, right? exactly! and so, this beautiful, DASHING woman was born!

She gives herself a pat on the back. Good job, Maple! She tells herself, at least. None of her pokemon dare speak up.

"... What are we doing, again?" Ruby honestly was completely lost. At first, she thought the snowman was cold, so she ran off to get a jacket for him. Then obviously, a snowman wouldn't be a snowman without arms, so she stuck some sticks up the sleeves. Before she could work on the face, however, Pinky, her trusted Snowman Building Partner, or SBP for short, was already working away doing... something. They seemed excited and dedicated, so Ruby just let them work. But this was... starting to get a bit insane.

"I mean, you stabbed the jacket. His jaw is like, massive! How... where did you even get all the icicles? I thought he was just going to be angry because he didn't have pants! Not because he was like, gonna hurt someone." Pinky just seemed to laugh at her confusion, continuing it's dedicated intent to carve away it faces just perfectly. Ruby simply slumped back, sitting on a makeshift pile of snow. It was... something alright. Now, if only the top matched the bottom, it would have been rather cute, but there seemed to be no stopping Pinky from her dedicated cause to terrify passers by. At least, until they saw its shoes.

Whether or not Annie had made a snowman was up for debate. The beast stood at over five feet tall, and was more Pokemon than snow. As in, multiple Pokemon. Bubba stood at the base, his round body making him the obvious choice to hold up his team. He’d hold what he thought to be an angry face when the judges arrived, although it was just as likely that he was struggling under the weight of his peers.

Fortuna stood on top. Being a Blissey, she had to be taught what an angry face looked like, but attempt both comically exaggerated and unnervingly fixed. A Dragonair acted as the snowman’s scarf, bobbing up and down with the ‘wind’ and hissing at passer-by’s.

Finally, the crème de la crème. It was a team effort, Annie had told Frankie. “Everybody has to be involved in a Camp Annie activity.” ”You’ll be perfect for the part!” “Just stand on the top! It’ll be fun!”, she’d said. And yet, balancing atop the Blissey, bound by snow (but mostly by loyalty), the Type: Null didn’t seem to be having fun at all. In fact, it seemed to be silently fuming. To have a monster of its strength and status reduced to being a living prop, dyed white with whatever snow his rage hadn’t melted off its helmet, had left it feeling… a little displeased. Enough that it stared death into the hearts of the few that dared to meet its gaze. Or maybe it was just that good at acting.

It may not have been considered a snowman, but to Annie, it was a masterpiece.

Monty had been feeling rather fantastic over the past couple days. He was currently out in the snow with his eevee, playing around in the snow and beginning to build himself a snowman.

It wasn't hard, as a matter of fact, the only hard thing about it was the fact that Jericho had been ducking in and out of the snow, not seeming to care one way or the other if the snowman ended up just a pile of mush by the end of it.

Maybe due to overworking the snow perhaps because he was too busy laughing at his energetic eevee, but the snowman Monty came up with was... a little, sort of, angry or creepy. He couldn't decide which.

"What a weird dream," Mana awakened in the middle of the snow with no clue as to how she got there. She remembered she and her Pokemon were building a snowman and then she heard a lullaby... The next thing Mana knows is that she's waking up from a dream, or rather, a nightmare of a Jigglyman. Perhaps the singing Pokemon had some power over her dreams. She shuddered at the thought of seeing a Jigglyman in real life. Mana brushed off the snow and headed back to the warmth of indoors, nightmare forgotten.

“Wow Miss Cooper! You made a really good snowman!” Said one of the judges as they approached the dysfunctional member of the Elite Four, who was slurping down Peppermint Schnapps from a flask that she made no effort to hide.

“What are you on about?” Her breath burned from the mint and from the booze.

“Your... snowman,” and Bailey would let her eyes follow the pointed finger, over her shoulder, to the backdrop of snowmen and one that did not look like the others.

“Uh. I didn't make that. I'm just... standing here.” How did someone do those flames? How did they animate them? Its cold, burning eyes stared at them from the crowd... and when Bailey glanced back, she could have sworn it was even more intense than before.

And even closer?

"What the fuck?"

And that was when it bounced.

”Can.. I.. get.. some.. help?” Bo huffed as she heaved the head of her snowman up. How did this little thing get so heavy? She didn’t remember the torso being this heavy. Maybe she’d been out in the cold too long. Burke mosied over to help nudge the lumpy snowman head. Together they inched it further and further up the torso until it was, at last, settled at the top of their headless snowman with a solid thump.

”Geeze,” she complained, as she gently rubbed her arms. ”What’d you do to that thing, guys?” She shot the mudsdale and golduck a suspicious look. They had all rolled up the base of the snowman together but she left Burke and Bucky to roll the head by themselves while she took care of the torso.

She didn’t have much time to really get into it with their pair. Bellamy and Barr came whisking back -- well, Bellamy whisked and Barr floated at his usual leisurely pace. Bellamy dropped a pile of twigs at Bo’s feet with a proud screech while Barr hovered helplessly entangled in dried plants. ”Good work boys." She gave them a nod and piled everything together. She wasn’t really sure what she could do with all the dead grass Barr had brought back.

Bucky helped pack their snowman’s large biceps while she and Bellamy jabbed twigs and rocks into the angry face. As the pair worked out the perfect brow wrinkles, Bo realized what she just might be able to use that dead grass for. Bo instructed the murkrow to peck a sizable hole into the back of the snowman’s head while she gently sculpted two non-descript nostrils in the front.

She wasn’t quite sure if this would work but she packed the dead grass into the hole Bellamy had made and called out her Salazzle. The poison-fire type seemed almost scared of the snow -- really she seemed scared of most things. Bo gave her a big smile. ”Can you light this for me?” she nodded to the bunch of grass that was stuffed in the back of the snowman’s head. After a moment’s hesitation the Salazzle obliged and, perhaps, misjudged the extent of flame that was needed. Flames licked at the sides of her mouth and despite trying to let loose a little flame, she sent out a blast of fire.

The snowman’s head wobbled but held on for the most part. Bo sprinted around to see her master piece -- a melting snowman head with two glaring red nostrils and steam shooting right out of them. She laughed triumphantly at the group’s creation. Furrowed brows, jagged stick teeth, flared nostrils, and -- hey, were those rocks jutting out of his head?

[attr="class","spiral"] Fernando is by no means an artist but there is beauty in simplistic minimalism. His snowman is adorn with a carrot nose and enough pebbles to create a stony frown. He stands at a distance, judging his creation with an uncertain scowl.

"Well?"

Among the Pokemon has had out and about, it is the Vanilluxe that remains beside him, more than content with providing its own advice in molding a frozen sculpture. The ice Pokemon lets out a shrill cry of disapproval before shaking to and fro in a blunt dismissal of Fernando's half-hearted attempt.

Stubborn but willing to cave, Fernando takes a gander at those around him, soaking in their ideas by stealing their ideas and judging their own snowmen before his gaze rests upon one that looks disturbingly similar to his visage. "Ah," he whispers to himself, taken by surprise by @nicole's imitation. How flattering to have someone admire you so much that they create an idol to mimic your own likeness.

All wells until Fernando feels the punishing crunch against the back of his head. With an alarmed, "oof," he turns to the source only to spot his Weavile guffawing at his mishap. With a scowl, he's about to issue a command for compliance but instead decides to play into the scenario, blending in with a fake but intentional display of playfulness by responding with a snowball of his own.

Fernando entertains the farce for a moment but rescind his Pokemon into obedience soon after. At least until his Tyrunt comes barreling through his very own snowman, landing in front of him like an eccentric pup. A heavy sigh and red beam remove the pest and the councilman is left with what's left of his entry.

does he have to join? probably not, but kyle wants them participation reward that he's not really sure that exists.

still, the possibility is there since he believes that the creator of this event is a very generous human being.

he makes the base of the snowman, following it with the two other segments that makes the entirety of the winter creation. once it's created, he takes a look on the other entries, trying to take an idea or two since he's too lazy to think of his own.

in the end, he scraps the idea and leaves his creation at that. it's not like he's prepared to copy any of their ideas anyways. he rage quits because he can't think of any way to make it better without actually spending effort.

I Call It, Prometheus Enraged

He stepped back away from it to soak it in visually, a single arm across his chest as the other propped itself on top of it with its elbow. He mused on its composition. His decision to carve the bust from a pillar of hard ice was a good one. The lack of inventory to use anything but a whoopee cushion as its exposed 'liver' was regrettable. The watery ketchup staining the snow and meant to represent blood, however, was working surprisingly well. As for the sticks for arms, well... that couldn't be helped. All in all, anyone with a decent grasp of Greek mythology could likely tell it was the titan Prometheus and his punishment from Zeus.

Only one piece of the puzzle remained.

Turning down to the Noibat by his side, Remy dropped to a crouch and gestured towards the 'snowman' with a nod. "Go now— you're the eagle who swoops down to pluck the ever-regenerating liver of Prometheus. I will take a picture to commemorate this moment." He spoke, arming himself with a camera.

Confused, Guavafang the Noibat reluctantly placed itself beside the scary-looking ice sculpture.
