 Another miss. High Frost did not usually find himself in a position to be stubborn, but he was filled with determination now. He wanted so badly to hit the target, and he was willing to try it a few times to get it right. He was sure that, eventually, he could figure out if there was a better angle or some sort of finesse to the drop that he was missing...

And still, if there was a trick, it eluded him. But he was not faint of heart. He would continue to try...

And yet, the icicle landed in the same place. High Frost snorted this time. He was sure he could figure this out, though by now his tongue was becoming a bit cold...

First to Strike was back with a vengeance. If only Never Misses could see him now, he thought.
Of course, his first strike was a dud. That was okay.

That was a close one! But not close enough... It was at least enough to refresh him a bit to get so close.

His next one would fly true, because he was a badass. What had he done last time, again? Closed his eyes? He could do that!
...it didn't land anywhere near the target.

Okay, okay. That was only two icicles gone. It'd taken him fourteen before. He could beat his own record.
Maybe he had to focus a bit more, though. On what?

"Grumble, wish me luck!" he called. The bear, who at least did recognize his own name, merely grunted.
Grumble really was a lucky charm, though. The throw flew true, and First to Strike jumped off the log in exhilaration. "Yeeeeeah," he grinned. "Check! Me! Out! I think I deserve a prize, good sir," he told Licks Icicle. "But Gurmble deserves one more, so I'll let him take it. This time."
At least Grumble was becoming accustomed to carrying around tokens now.
"Good luck to you!" he called, to the other kiokote who was still trying his luck. "Kiokote power!"

Aaaand yet, the next was still off. That's okay, just getting close didn't guarantee that the next would be a win. He would just have to keep trying...
It helped to have a fellow call out some luck to him. Startled at the acknowledgment, High Frost turned and called back, "Oh! Th-thank you!" Giving a solid snort of refreshed determination, he turned back to the task at hand...

Buuut it was still disheartening to have so many go astray. Nonetheless, he had several chances left! He could, perhaps, still land a good shot...

That was better! But it still wasn't what he needed. He took a moment to lick his lips, trying to warm them up a bit before his next go...10/15

High Frost grunted. This was certainly more difficult than he had anticipated, but he was going to keep trying -- at least he had a few more chances. Perhaps a new approach? Maybe he needed to stop thinking about it so much... Sighing, he stepped up to the log and decided to... not look at the target so closely to line it up. He hovered around where he thought maybe the target would be...11/15

Aaand that didn't work nearly as well as he hoped. But, what the heck. For the next one he decided to give the icicle a little wiggle before he let it fall~12/15

He was so close! But so far... Only a few more chances... High Frost scrunched his nose in consideration and decided that perhaps he should try being a bit more precise again...13/15
