You made it melt! We can do all sorts with our emotions here. It might take practice, but you'll get used to it. Some can even use it like magic - er, dumanis, they call it here.
[Which Ariel wants to learn herself. Maybe she could have figured helping Yuuri herself or getting someone else to, with the ice, but it seemed like a good chance to get him started to see what he could be capable of with his emotions here.
Still, Ariel gives a smile, clapping her hands together as she watches the drips of the icicles and admires the melted snow around him before he moves.]

They are. Just some people can start out very stubborn out of principle. [Celestia allows herself a little giggle.] It's hard to adjust, sometimes, and everypony finds different ways to.
Mmm, well I've mainly heard this from others since I have only been here for a while but... festivals and celebrations getting screwed up and creatures that considers themselves gods throwing tantrums?
[ Hei had been watching from a slight distance as he approached where he'd left Yin, a paper sack in his arms. Shopping had been the plan for today aside from getting an impression of what had been going on in town - and he's ran into his fair share of people, and things...
The guy with her is kind of a weird occurrence, as Yin mostly... doesn't get noticed. He wonders if something happened, but... At least he recognizes who this is, though he continues to play a little oblivious when he approaches. ]
Sorry to leave you waiting for so long, Yin. It looks like you... met someone. Yuuri... isn't it?

[Her head is already turning to the side before responding to Yuuri. She can tell it was Hei approaching from behind, his particular gait, the presence that he carries- it's all telling to her. There is no mistaking it for anyone else.]
Hei.
[Which sounds like 'hey,' an informal greeting. Though Yin uses his name out of habit, not because she forgot his other name. This is not unusual, she's done it before, just normally out of earshot. What is unusual is what she mentions without being prompted (and before Yuuri has a chance to confirm his name).]
I burned his jacket.

[ Yuuri's listening carefully to Fuuka as she explains what all happened and just like before, there's only so much he can understand. "Shadows"... "Persona"... A giant tower filled with monsters. It sounds like something that would make an interesting video game, but nothing that would be reality. Except, well, it was her reality.
He recognizes "Tartarus" vaguely from a class he took in university but that's about it. When Fuuka's done telling him how it all happened, he takes a moment to let it all sink in with him. He's a bit loss for words but he eventually finds something to say. ]
Compared to all of that—I imagine that this place might not seem all that strange to you.
[ Like honestly. ]

[Maybe he really should be more considerate with his words. Had he been told that his actions were being forced on another, he would have immediately stopped. And apologize even faster. It's never his intention.]
Yeah, sure.
[It's all he'll say in the end. Which likely is for the best.
He decides to switch his chisel for the blow-torch for the moment to begin smoothing out what's been chipped away. Although upon glancing to the other competitors, he frowns a little bit. Most of them seem further along.]
Did you hear if this was being timed at all?
Yeah, sure.

Did you hear if this was being timed at all?
Yeah, yeah, that! Don't lose it. It'll be your way of contactin' people here.
Plus, if you go without a crystal like that for two weeks, you'll probably drop dead from the emotions gettin' sucked outta you.
[Just. So he knows.]
The other nice thing about these crystals is, if you concentrate on sendin' a message to someone else, they'll actually be able to hear your thoughts. And of course, other people can do the same to you! Your crystal will warm up a little when there's a message waitin' for you. If you don't concentrate on anyone in particular, you can even send your thoughts to everyone!
[It's very convenient!]

[ Dumanis...
Yuuri plays back the word in his mind as he looks at the melting snow and ice. It sounds pretty cool and something that could be useful however—he's not too sure if that's something he wants to get really involved with as stupid (or silly) as it sounds. It would be something useful here, of course, but should he really be spending time learning something like that?
He doesn't know for sure but he'll smile back at Ariel, a bit sheepishly. ]
I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it, honestly. That's kind of amazing that just thinking about something made that happen.

[ When someone approaches them, he's surprised to see who does. He takes a moment to look between the two and how they interacted. ]
Hei?
[ Yuuri repeats as he looks over at Hei(?) with a bit of a questioning look. He had introduced himself as Li, hadn't he? Maybe it was his last name? The look doesn't last long, at least, and Yuuri's most distressed by the comment that Yin makes about his jacket. ]
She did but you don't have to worry about it. It's fine—I'll find a new one here.
[ Probably. ]

I'd say so too.
[ Yuuri looks at the other competitors who seem to be finishing up their own sculptures and standing in front of them proudly. Or, well, some of them seem to be proud. ]
Do you think we'll have to stay here to wait for judgement or if they'll contact us later?

[ HE CAN BE GOOD...SEE?? ]
It's fine, don't worry. [ Except the part where she totally froze his legs and made his shoes and socks completely drenched as a result. ] Thank you for your time and help. I hope to see you around sometime again.

[Celestia inclines her head to him in return.] You'll pay it forward in a month, I have no doubt.
[ That does sound frighteningly convenient...it also sounds kind of invasive in regards the latter about sending a thought to everyone. Invasive and a disaster waiting to happen given how some people and how jumbled their thoughts could end up being...
Or really in case Yuuri has a bad freak out and ruins things for everyone. ]
Is there anything to prevent accidentally sending messages to people?

I think I remember hearing about something regarding a time limit.
[ It would make sense to have one so that no one, or group, would be working on an ice sculpture longer than anyone else and give them an advantage over others. However, what that time frame looked was what Yuuri didn't know. No one had come to stop them so at least that was good..?
Yuuri takes a look at the progress that they've made in regards to their own ice sculpture and it wasn't so bad. It looked right and even though it definitely wasn't fancy by any means it didn't look like an actual mess. ]

Maybe...
[ Hei shrugs before flashing another slight smile. ]
I'll try not to melt it all down while we do that.

It is! I don't think emotions could do all this back home. Or with the amulets. I guess it was the same back home for you too. I know it's a lot to take in, but I'm sure you'll probably figure things quicker than I did.
[Being human and all already kind of gives him a leg up in comparison. It is a lot to ask in getting everyone involved in things here, being here not necessarily of their will. But even so, Ariel is trying to make the most of it.
She only mentioned the dumanis in case he might want to try it later, but that's up to him, if and when he might be ready.]

[ Making a mental note to remind Yin what not to do, Hei is quick to respond with his own-- ]
Hey!
[ He waves his free hand slightly, before focusing on what Yin said, and what Yuuri said, and... well, that's almost as unusual as it gets. Definitely something that draws attention... ][ His shoulders slump slightly, his head bowing a little to Yuuri. ]
I don't know what happened exactly but we will get you a replacement. I insist.
