[open] You don't have to be mad to have a good time on thin ice...

[nightmare_scientist]

WHO: Wilson & You~
WHERE: Sh'Ka
WHAT: He's totally doing science. On ice.
WHEN: Mid-December
WARNINGS: %

While Temba is covered in snow, Sh'Ka has become much more frozen over, leaving the paths and most of the ground covered in a thick layer of ice.

It's not that Wilson has much of a fondness for snow or ice, though, so it's for no apparent reason he's currently in Sh'Ka, a pair of shadow skates under his shoes and idly skating circles over what may have been some sort of plaza back when the city was still inhabited. Whatever it was doesn't matter. Right now it's a comparably big open space which the scientist makes use of while contemplating... Something.

But he isn't entirely alone. A couple of his shadow creatures are also gliding aimlessly across the ice, radiating a certain uncertainty as of why they are even present while receiving the occasional nudge from a randomly appearing shadow hand to keep them moving.

"No, you got this all wrong!" Wilson exclaims towards a smaller creature slowly spinning on the ice as he passes. "I don't want to fight a Treeguard, I'm saying I wouldn't be surprised to find one here!"

They hadn't exactly started this venture with a plan, so Tony could not say one way or the other if they had failed in executing it. Instead, he considered the ground where the shadow had been very seriously with a finger tapping at his chin, then produced, "No," only to reconsider and allow, "Maybe." They knew more than what they had started with, at least, and that was about what Tony had wanted. Unfortunately, he was fairly certain that Tommy was correct to have concerns.

"How do you think we're supposed to fight a shadow?" Iron Man eventually asked. When it was a problem, they were going to be more prepared.

The answers he was getting only made things less clear as to what they were doing here, but at least Felwinter could feel a little vindicated with that 'maybe.'

"It was not intangible," he noted. "And clearly it was being controlled by him. If we take care of the source, the shadow is no longer a problem."
