Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

..."What's this then?"

Those were the first words that escaped Oni's mouth as he stepped outside his pod ship onto the... crunchy, white ground that was certainly different to the soft, green ground he saw when he was last here. Those words were followed by a good natured, curious grin as he bent down to scoop a handful of the stuff up and tossed it into the air, watching with fascination as it fell back down to earth with a dull 'thud'. It was a dense, white, material with the ability to fuse together under cold temperatures that was making his hands turn a faint shade of red.

Interesting.

The park around him was buzzing with people rushing to and fro with laden bags, none of them paying heed to the small bald boy with a strange device held out in front of him pushing through the crowd, trying to analyse the white compound to find what it was. Jolly, happy tunes blared out over the speakers and a strange beast with antlers stood grazing through the snow  had attracted a small crowd of children. Their shrieks of delight echoed around him as he crunched through the substance towards the shopping centre, hoping to find some more clues as to what had happened to his token planet.

More of this mysterious substance flew as missiles over head and the boy found himself face to face with the stuff itself, catching a mouthful of it and loosing his footing on the black ice. He fell, bag scattering all around him and lay there dazed on the ground, gazing up at the clouded sky wondering what on Earth was going on.
