"Capture what you believe to be the beauty of winter!"
// How To Play // ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The rules are pretty simple. If you'd like for your character to participate in this contest, all you have to do is post as your character. Your first post must be your character signing up. The following posts are your character "creating" the Ice Sculpture; there is no minimum or maximum amount of times you need to post in order to create an Ice Sculpture. Posting as your character is mostly for show and doesn't have an influence in the Contest other than saying "He/she made an Ice Sculpture". This contest is actually a Drawing Contest, where you (the player) will send a picture drawn by you to any of the Crew members. We will then post each picture with no names attached in order to keep the voting fair. You can create whatever you like, but you must follow the number one theme: Winter.This contest will end before the Final Round of the Tag Team Tournament. The voting will take place during the Final Round of the Tournament.
// Extra Rules // ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
● Once you post your character entering the contest, he/she must stay in this thread until they have finished "creating" their Ice Sculpture. ● There is only one entry per player. Any member with multiple characters may only have one character join this contest. ● We are looking for Original Art so please do not take an image from the net and claim it as your own because doing so will ban you from this contest. ● The art does not have to be an Ice Sculpture. You can draw or create whatever you want so long as you include the Winter theme. We want to see what your opinion of Winter is so be as creative as you can.

The idea of snow was absolutely weird, and Nirav made sure to take photos of the district as he went. His brothers would want to see photos of this stuff, given none of them had ever seen it before either. In a way, Nirav felt a little guilty that he was here enjoying himself. While he wandered around in the snow, his family - nay, his whole community - was working overtime to prep for the tourist season that was beginning. Nirav sighed, pulling himself into the school's jacket. He was incredibly grateful that Kirsi, Koru, and Cyril helped him out. He couldn't think about it much as something caught his eye.
A sign saying Ice Sculpture Contest caught the boy's attention, so he walked up to the booth. Behind it, kids and adults were building all sorts of things that Nirav didn't recognize. That's when he was told more about this. All they had to do was build something out of the ice and snow that revolved around the theme "Winter." 'What's winter to me definitely isn't to everyone else...'he thought, yet again reminded of how different home was. Nevertheless, Nirav gave it a shot, signing himself up and moving behind the booth to create something. He was certainly going to make home, but maybe he'd have to change a few things to fit the theme...

Ray noticed a big sigh that said 'ice sculpture' on it. He was curious, and he remembered making all kinds of sculptures back home. He looked at the ground, sighing. Home. He missed it, he missed his parents, and he missed Rina most of all. He hadn't realized it until now, but his feet were moving his towards a spot. He looked at the ground, the ice visible. His hands itched, his arm aching. This would probably be really hard to do on his own, but maybe this would help him take his mind of everything. Yea, he just wanted to escape somewhere that he didn't have to worry about anything. So he let go, his mind clearing as his hands moved the ice and snow. He sculpt something cool, at least he hoped it looked cool. With that in mind he focused on nothing else but the sculpture, ignoring the outside world as he worked.

Honestly, Nirav didn't quite understand why the snow didn't melt in his gloved hands while he formed it into various shapes, but he didn't question it at the moment. Instead, he just built and constructed the snow into a figure. In a way, it was a little like sewing. You had to take what was in your head and make it happen through a lot of effort and thought. There was no machine to make the process a little easier here, but it still gave Nirav a chance to play around in the snow.
Looking at the finished creation, Nirav was happy with it. While it made him think a bit of home, it wasn't completely against the theme of this competition. It made him pretty happy. Nirav took a photo of it to show his family when he got back. Although he felt guilty that he was here enjoying himself while they were preparing for the tourist season, he wanted to tell them all about his friends and adventures while he was here for this half of the year. In the meantime, the boy stood up, brushed the snow off his pants, and made his way around the district to find something else to do.

Evelyn had managed to lose Ichiro on the way to the stadium but she did find a place with an ice sculptor. Wandering over to investigate, the dark haired Kingdra noticed it was an ice sculpting contest. She slightly wondered how easy it was to actually do. Sure she’d never done it before but she was a good at sketching things. So use a chisel and go at a piece of ice. Yeah how hard could it be? Evelyn certainly wasn’t about to think it was easy though. Never underestimate an art form.
Looking at the sign up for it, Evelyn wondered if she had time before the contest. ‘I should be able to do this before all that.’ She thought to herself. Adjusting her glasses the girl signed her name onto the list. It was official she was doing this. She just hoped it wouldn’t be overly complicated. The theme was winter. What was winter? Snow…? Ice…? Holidays…? Evelyn would have to give a lot of thought into this before starting.

‘Winter… what am I going to do to represent winter…?’ Evelyn tried to think of something anything that would work for it. With winter came snow. With snow came snowballs and snowmen. Then there was Christmas. Okay, she really didn’t know where she was going with this but it was a start.
Going over to her block of ice, Evelyn studied what she had to work with. It was enough to do something simple, nothing over the top. Course she’d never done this so she wouldn’t be able to manage anything over the top. Evelyn’s mind wandered continued to wander about as she thought hard on how to make her sculptor work. With each moment she chiseled away at the ice attempting to turn it into something unique and real. By the end she tried her best to add some detail to her work but that was hard since too much could cause her work to be ruined.
One slip and it was over. Luckily Evelyn managed to keep things going smoothly enough to get through her ice sculptor and finish the job. With a smile the Kingdra knew she needed to get to the stadium and find Ichiro. Hopefully he was there if not well he’d hopefully find her.

Ray continued to create the sculpture, and was pretty much done. However, the earth shook and loud noises started popping up all around him. He stumbled a bit, head snapping towards the sounds of fighting. What was going on? Surely that wasn't the tournament, it couldn't be... there weren't pokemon nearly that strong form the students that could cause noises like this. He saw some smoke from some areas, and panicked voices rushing by. Then he heard an announcement of sorts talking about angry dragons running around. He swore he heard something about eggs being stolen, that couldn't be good. He tensed, heart accelerating. This wasn't serious right? The adults could handle it right? His thoughts drifted to his aunt, wasn't she here too? Another boom, and his eyes moved towards the area it came from. His breath hitched, wasn't that the direction his aunt went to? He was still mad at her, but... but he still laved her deep down. He never wanted anything bad to happen to her, he couldn't lose anyone else. Not like... not like Rina. His mind numbed, Rina. Rina, what if his aunt ended up like Rina? A strangled noise left his throat at the thought, panic swelling in his chest. He abandoned his art work and looked for Rey. He noticed the little bird going through his bag and eating something. When Ray noticed it was the candies he had, he wanted to yell out and tell him he could get sick. For Arceus sake he ate all 19 of them!
However, Ray just shook his head. He couldn't dwell on that right now "I... I know that I've... been neglecting you but... but Elaine... she's... she could be..." he couldn't breath, he was panicking at the thought. Dead, she could be dead like Rina. He couldn't, he didn't want that. He started hyperventilating, but something slammed into his chest and made him lose his balance. Tears dripped down his cheek, as he noticed Rey was nuzzling into him crying as well. Ray's eyes softened, and he hugged the bird type closer to him "Right... ok... calm down... we need to... need to check on her" he said, body shaking. He stood up slowly, still shaking. He was hurt still, a boot on his leg to help heal it. That didn't matter, he couldn't just stay here. So he grit his teeth and endured the pain as he moved towards the raging dragon that was near his aunt.
