So this is the meatship

Tora Olafsdotter was new to the ship and it's people but she made finding her way around a top priority. She wandered the streets and began to familiarize herself with the twists and turns of this odd cityship. It was not completely unlike the Watchtower really, there were similarities.

Gently Tora's fingers ran over the living walls of the ship, if she tried hard enough she could feel the life in them, feel all around her that the ship was a living being as much as a technological entity. Such was common for those connected to nature, and being essentially a spirit of nature herself that was innate in her.

Her wanderings lead her down through the tall buildings to where things grew open, a wide space as Arha had told her there would be. Moving to the center of this open square Tora took the chance to center herself as well. Her eyes slid closed and her hands drifted up from her sides, fingers uncurling to free her upward facing palms. She thought of home, her real home, her family and all those who she now knew to be lost. So many she would miss, so much unnecessary death, yet there was hope.

In everything there was at least the smallest ray of hope, and that was what Tora focused on. She had lived through a crisis before, and now she was needed to aid in helping others put things in many universes to right. Hope was a powerful thing, and hope was the shining force behind the gentle fall of clean white snow that fell around her, covering the entire open area in a slowly deepening blanket of fluffy white powder.

"Cool powers!" Sonic had decided to see what was up with the sudden drop in temp in the area, but he really hadn't expected some human girl to be making snow fall. It was pretty cool, and Sonic fully intended the pun he made as he spoke to Tora, leaning on top of a snowman in the shape of a Chao.

"What else can you do?"

She'd seen a good many odd things in her time, Sonic's form was no horrible surprise. When he spoke she opened her eyes and smiled sweetly.

"Well I could do far more than this, and I can create ice, or a blizzard if I liked, or fly." To be honest she'd never tested the upper end of her powers, there ight be a good deal more than that even.

"Okay ... the ice powers I get, but what does flying have to do with them? Or is that just a default superpower where you're from?" No, Sonic, that would be the Most Common Superpower (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MostCommonSuperPower).

"I'm not sure entirely, I couldn't always do it. But my powers were enhanced so that may have started it. I rarely use it to be honest. I use to fly mostly with Bea or Guy when we went places."

Ah, those were the good old days.

"Oh, that's cool. So now I know someone with ice powers who isn't a murderous wizard bent on conquering the world." Sonic really needed to make new friends, it seemed.

"Umm...well yes. I am no wizard and conquering the world sounds very mean and unfair." Her scowl and choice of words might let it be known just how deeply that sweet personality of hers ran.

"Anyway, hi! My name's Sonic. What's yours?" For someone who'd gotten the news that he had, he was certainly holding up rather well. To be fair, it was bad news to hear, but the hedgehog continued to hold out hope that Mobius could be restored. In the meantime, he'd help the crew however he could, and get to know the people that were willing to get to know him.

"I'm Tora, but some people call me Ice. It's very nice to meet you Sonic." She looked around a moment and then back to the walking talking hedgehog. "Your world is gone as well? I suppose all of them are, which is why we are here."

"I'm not worried," Sonic replied. Realizing he might sound callous to some, he was quick to explain what he meant.

"When Mammoth Mogul became a god and started wiping out realities, me, Knux and Tails all put the stop to his plans and restored all the lost realities to boot. It's part o' that whole 'hero' thing. Sonic Prime and all that."

His confidence inspired a smile, she liked to see such optimism. "Well if more on board have our spirit then we are sure to succeed. I would be interested in hearing more stories of your world and how you saved it."

"No worries!" Sonic said. "We've got, what, only the collection of the most epic and legendary heroes from around the multiverse gathered up in this thing? The Ohm are probably runnin' scared, knowing we're waking up more and more every month."

"I am happy to see such a positive attitude toward things. From what I have seen so far we surely have the best group of people we could ask for."

Surely with such resources they would be able to sop if not reverse the Ohm's plans.

"Hey, at this point, our attitudes are the only thing we can really control! I can mope about if I really want to, but then I have to dye myself black and add red stripes."

"Very true, as is frequently the case, but it is odd for me to see it in those outside the teams I've been on. I am thrilled to see it and I think it is a sign we can and will be able to see this through."

That thing with the black with red stripes? Yeah that got a blank look.

"It's a good way to look at things. Can you use this power to ... I dunno, make an ice rink?"

Dark Smoke Puncher didn't usually expect SNOW on the ship. Anywhere. After all, it was a ship. Why would their be snow?

But there was and he didn't notice until he was among it and standing out because he was in black, but the snow was, of course, white and had a light coating of white on everything he had been blending in with.

It was how he naturally moved around.

"Hey, what's with the sudden white out?" He asked aloud, looking around and focusing on Tora as she seemed to be the only one there who might be the cause or know the cause.

"Just taking a moment to remember those we've lost and give myself some comfort. I hope you don't mind. No one was around when I started." Tora was not looking to offend anyone, but the black clad man surely did stand out amid the pure white of her snowfall.

Ninja skills meet snow; your new nemesis.

"Oh? Snow is a comfort then?" Dark Smoke Puncher asked. Weird. Usually people avoided the cold. Then again, if she could make it...

Snow: 1, ninja: 0. It's on now.

"For me it is, I grew up in it." Quite literally, but that wasn't what he asked. "It reminds me of home and happier time I suppose."

Snow also gained Nostalgia points, hard to beat that.

"Well, guess I can't blame you for that. Guess I'll have to watch out for snow from now on," Dark Smoke Puncher said, rubbing his chin. That meant getting something white to wear.

Billy shivered a bit as he moved through the city buildings. It seemed just a tad strange to be wondering around alone, seeing as most of his team was here, but he wanted the time to think. Or to angst. Either way he needed to be alone.

So when he stepped into the city center to see it covered in snow he couldn't help but sighing. So much for being alone. Then again with all the people around he was bound to run into at least one person. He didn't want to disturb the snow on the ground so Billy started to float up into the air, flying over it so he could see the beauty of it. Something that he was sure he'd never see again.

"This is incredible." He floated towards the woman that he saw standing in the center of the snow. He'd never seen her before, so he was sure she was new to the ship and from one of the many other universes.

"Thank you! I'm not sure everyone appreciates it so much, but to me this is home, this is calming."

She offered a small sort of shrug with her smile. Not trying to do more than offer some serenity, some peace and beauty in the aftermath of hearing so many were lost.

"I'm Tora."

"Well I'm from New York originally, so I'm no stranger to snow." He smiled a bit and moved a bit of the snow with a wave of his hand. He then set himself down on the clear spot.

"I'm Billy." He held out his hand to her and smiled.

"I have been to New York! It was very full of people and lights! And they had a musical show about Cats! And the Icecapades!" Her expression was one of obviously delighted memory.

"Very nice to meet you Billy." She smiled and clasped his hand in a gentle grip, her skin just the slightest bit cool and soft as the snow around them.

"Broadway is wonderful. I've seen a few musicals there." He laughed softly and shook his head. "Where are you from?"

"Norway originally, but the Global Guardians operated everywhere, as did the JSA. So I guess I am from everywhere now." There was no Broadway in the mountains, and her singing and dancing for her father did not count.

"Norway? Wow." He shook his head and smiled a bit. "I have no idea who either of those two teams are. But I'm guessing you have no idea who the Avengers are either."
