*With a bit of free time on her hands, Nana decided to write a little bit in her journal. It had been quite a while since it had been used, and she figured if she had the time she might as well type up something. Originally Nana had intended for it to be weekly or bi-weekly but it didn't pan out that way. Hopefully she'd write in it a little more, and more often*

After the Vanguard, Omega, Zenogais, the citadel itself, the droid army, Zio, and numerous other 'unnamed' projects, Mastema was now faced with the easiest construction project he'd every undertaken.
An igloo.
With the citadel's bountiful supply of snow, getting materials wasn't much of a chore for Mastema. With telekinesis, he was easily able to gather large amounts of the stuff and pack it together to make firm blocks of ice. With as many hours as he was given, making a lot of them wouldn't take too long, hopefully. At least that's what Mastema originally thought. He'd just finished setting the last block of ice for the base of the igloo and was starting to levitate more snow for the next block when - "GAAH!!!" Mastema screamed and nearly fell to his knees. The same bout of emotion that had overcome him after talking to Micha struck again, only this time there was a sharp pain in the back of his neck, pain which Mastema shouldn't be able to feel under normal conditions. Reaching behind his neck, he felt where the pain had come from: there was a massive spider crack on the back of his neck. That shouldn't have been there unless Mastema planned to switch forms, but it was there and what was worse was that it wouldn't heal up like it should've. It took a good two minutes for Mastema to force the wound to heal, rather than the normalfew seconds it should have taken at most. Somewhat in light shock, Mastema stood up again and tried his telekinesis again. This time, nothing unusual happened.
Proto looked down at the ground in front of him. Before him was a large patch of cracked concrete and the sparking remains of a 1B type drone. The ground under it was lightly depressed and cracked, as if some massive force had hit upon it and the drone. With some hesitancy, Proto started to open the drone's head to retrieve its memory box. He needed to now what had destroyed this droid.

*After Nana had finished her journal entry, she had called up something else onto the holographic screen. A menu of things from the cafeteria, it looked as if cake wasn't the only thing they'd be nibbling on. The children would be introduced to a few new things. As always, when something revolving around the children took place, Nana took great care in the planning. It wouldn't be long now, the children and Thanatos would be up within a few short hours. Nana would need to send a message to Thanatos about the party, where the children would not hear about it. Nana was feeling rather... chipper at the moment, and her spirits were high*

Orias smirked as Tyrsais finally answered him. He had expected him to be angered with something he had done, what ever that would be.
"Fair enough, I suppose...look, I need you to do me a favor."

::Tyrsais would blink at Orias listening to him trying to ask for something certainly was not the normal thing he had become accustomed too. He took a few brief steps over to the wall and leaned against it. He chuckled for a moment nodding slightly at the demon::
Yes yes... favor eh? What do you want me to do for you Orias don't you know I'm just about useless around here?

*In Thanatos' room the children begin to stir. If Than was still asleep he wouldn't be for long. The children had no idea of what awaited them today, it would be a big surprise for sure. This would also be the first time they had seen the Peace. It would be better in bloom, but just as fun under the snow and an igloo built to house the entire party. Nana by now was getting Zio to teleport some mittens and scarves for the event, a thick blanket and under matting too so their heat wouldn't get sucked out of them by the ground and snow. She'd be heading to the Peace soon to help set up*
Trilla: =.--
Eecheb: ~.~
Micha: . . .

The moment Trilla crept her eyes open, she would feel a warm hand lightly rubbing the back of her head, holding her head softly into the nook of Than's shoulder. Letting out a light yawn of his own, Than had been awake for some while now. "Good morning, imouto," the greeting was specific to Trilla. The others likely would become, or in Micha's case already was, quite awake soon enough. Even if it was a special day, Than wanted to get at least some work done, and some more training. By this time, Mastema was on the verge of completing the not-quite-the-greatest-structure-he'd-ever-built igloo.
It was a somewha strange, but not first-time, experience for Proto to be looking at the world as it was just barely a few hours ago through the eyes of what was little more than a brainless drone. Everything Proto gathered from through the sensory records of the bots last few hours matched up nicely with what the citadel's sensors said: there was no intruder or potential threat in the vicinity of the citadel for this droid to respond to. Curious, Proto continued to watch the display. Although the sensors didn't show anything unusual, what Proto was seeing was indeed strange. Unlike most of the other droids who waited for orders from Zio, this one had started to act strangely, observing its surroundings in an erratic manner. Proto also picked up on something else; the droid's body seemed to be trembling slightly, something that was confirmed when, for one reason or another, the droid had looked at its own trembling hands before walking elsewhere. Proto fast forwarded through the walk, where the droid arrived at the east tower, just meters from where its destroyed body now lay. Over the next few minutes, Proto watched as the droid suddenly reached severe trembling as it moved up the elevator, taking it to the rooftop of the east tower. Then, as the elevator had neared its destination, the droid stopped trembling and exitted onto the roof. In a slow - too slow for standard - stride, the bot had approached the edge of the rooftop and looked down, more than 100 stories to the ground. After 10 long seconds of staring down, the robot had turned around, looking back at the elevator. Then, inexplicably, the robot had made itself fall backward, looking to the sky in the last moments before the visual feed went dead as the droid met its end.
Disconnecting himself from the 'black box' retrieved from the droid, Proto stood up from his kneel and started at the top of the east tower high above him.
What in the world could have driven a drone to willfully terminate its own existence?

Trilla: =.= || E~mow~toe~
*Trilla was still a little sleepy and repeated Than's words, though not precicely. Eecheb would yawn loudly, he still seemed to be asleep, then again he always did love his sleep. For the moment, Micha didn't seem to inclined to move unless it was needed, he seemed comfortable where he was otherwise. Trilla would make another groggly yawn before she slowly started snapping out of it, as her energy levels began to rise quickly. In all likelyhood she'd be the first to start running around and would no doubt wake Eecheb from his slumber*
>.>
<.<
Dear?
*By now Nana had made a portal to the Peace and had wandered into the igloo area. There would be a bit of snow in the master bedroom, but it would melt quickly soon after the portal closed. Nana had the mats and blanket with her to be set up. She looked around for Mastema, hoping to spot him, wearing black in white snow he shouldn't be too hard to spot*

It was a good thing Mas did wear black; his almost ghost white skin made snow ideal camouflage. Nana would only have the follow the rather resilient sound of snow crunching. Soon enough, she would find herself before an igloo easily large enough to cover the first floor lobby of the tower. Not far away, she would find Mastema leaning rather leisurely back against a nearby tree, blocks of ice floating here and there as he telekinetically laid them into place. It wasn't certain if he'd noticed Nana yet. In his building, Mastema had gotten creative and put bumps and dents in the ice blocks to hold them together more strongly and mechanically.

Ahh, there you are~ Its looking good. I think everyone will enjoy this experience.
*Scooting up beside Mastema, Nana would recline back beside him. It wouldn't be long now, and hopefully Mastema had cleared the snow from the center of the igloo. Being garbbed in white, having white hair and wings, Nana too blended in quite well with the snow. That made her dangerous in a snow ball fight, as Twilight was sure to remember well..... before being stabbed. (( sweatdrop ))*

*Another large yawn, and Trilla was finally up. She would blink at Thanatos for a moment or two before starting to look around the room randomly from her spot. Eecheb had rolled over and was teatering on the end of the bed, he could fall off at a moment's notice; a not so friendly wake up call. Micha remained as he was, as he had no reason to really move as of yet*
Trilla: >.>
Micha: . . .
Eecheb: ~.~ | z Z z Z z--

Trilla would receive another pat when she yawned. Contagious as it was, Than did the same thing before he sat up slightly and looked around as well, as if he was making sure that everything was still pitch black to him. Micha and Trilla could lay where they were for a long as they wished, but Thanatos couldn't see where Eecheb was."Is anyone else up?"
When Nana tried to relax back against the tree, she would find Mas's arm just waiting there to wrap around her back and hold them side to side. "I'm glad you approve. I never built one in the past, so I had to learn as I went." The inside was, more or less devoid of life, although Mastema had made a 'table' out of ice inside. It wasn't unfeasible for him to build stools either.

Trilla: >.> | Micha.
Micha: . . .
*The answer Thanatos had been looking for. Both Trilla and Micha were up, but Eecheb, not so much, though not surprising. Trilla would slide off of Than onto the mattress, snuggling the warm spots. Eecheb's tail flicked back and forth in his slumber slowly*
^__^
It really does look good. I should contact Thanatos too shortly to let him know. The children were with him last, and this morning still. I spotted them in his room last night and earlier on when I was collecting a few things for now. I guess I'll go ahead and start setting up.
*Unless Mastmea let Nana go, she wasn't going anywhere. Set up should be simple and quick; should but who could be sure. If there was a table, and seating then it would be more than what Nana would have expected, a plus to be certain*

"Ah," Mastema said, seeming to have thought of something, "I knew I had forgotten something....... the entrance....." Mastema let a small pause follow, before grinning back at Nana and giving her a pat on the lower back to send her off. "I was only joking." Of course he hadn't been that careless.
Than chuckled, his hand patting Micha on the upper arm after Trilla spoke. "I don't understand how you two know eachother so well." It really was a mystery to him. "Is Eecheb still here? He was sleeping against my leg when I fell asleep."

Hnn.
*The 'joke' was not lost on her, but it was perhaps a little dry. Scooting around the side of the igloo, Nana would find the entrance and make her way into the structure. It was very dark inside, something would have to be done about that. A magic spell for lighting should be good enough, so Nana began to cast one. At least then she could see where to put things, though what she had brought with her might no longer be useable. The snow was a good reflector of signals so Nana would have to move outside to be able to contact Zio if she wanted other materials. At the very least the table should have a sheet to cover it, and something should be placed onto the seats if there were any, to make sure no ones bottoms and legs got too chilled*
Trilla: Yes~
*Another reply to Thanatos, though a short one. Eecheb was still there somewhere*
