When the announcement came on that they would be docking soon, Ebisu went back to the room to wait for the others. Ijemaru finished writing a few notes in a little black journal and started packing up his various belongings, making sure to clean the room of any lingering toxins or chemicals. Battler closed his book, which he was now reading for the second time, and went to pack up his things as well. When the second announcement came, they had all converged in the main room.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">“Everyone ready?”</span>Heather asked.<br/><br/>Battler had his winter clothes on. It was thirty below zero now. He had a puffy white coat on, as well as a scarf, mittens, and a hat. Just because he was a fire user did<span style="font-style: italic">not</span>mean he was immune to the cold. In fact, it might have made him more vulnerable, since he was used to dealing with heat. "Ready as I'll ever be," he said, giving a thumbs up.<br/><br/>Ijemaru was wearing his winter gear too: a thick, dark blue coat, black mittens, and a black scarf and hat. "Yeah," he said, agreeing with the student's sentiment.<br/><br/>Ebisu was wearing his usual attire, no additions were necessary for the Graecian. They came off the ship into the frigid air, their shoes crunching on the small layer of snow atop the ice. "Alright!" he said. "I've got a quick detour for us to make before we really get moving. Keep up, okay?" The native lead them to a little house and knocked on the door vigorously. It slammed open after a minute. A Graecian woman with long ice blue hair stood in the doorway.<br/><br/>"Dammit, Ebisu. You don't have to always be so..." she trailed off, noticing he had company. "You didn't come back alone, huh?"<br/><br/>"Hey Nigi," Ebisu grinned. "I need to borrow your skater."<br/><br/>The woman sighed. "Yeah, fine. Take it. Just... bring it back in one piece, okay?" She tossed him the keys.<br/><br/>He grinned. "Sure thing." Nigurai went back inside and Ebisu lead them somewhere else. They came to something like stables, except instead of horses or something there were snow vehicles. Each would seat two, so between his and Nigi's they could make good progress toward the void.<br/><br/>"Still remember how to drive these?" Ebisu asked, tossing Heather Nigurai's key.
