Freeze City
Just outside the government building's fence.

That smell... what was it? The young pup had never been bold enough to try to get inside, but the most beautiful smell kept drawing her to the building. Most wouldn't see the gray and tan wolf playing in the snow, of course. Instead most saw a child of about twelve in pig tails with hair dyed teal green to match her eyes. The little girl was building a deformed snow man. Hay, even with determination, building a snow man with your paws and nose was hard. Still, it was something fun to take her mind off the hunger and cold that constantly weighed on her. She would have to hunt for scraps and hand outs soon. One of her families was bound to be having a decant meal. If she got desperate she could steal... For now, however, Tala wanted to spend just a little more time near the building... near that smell that made her feel so happy. It was like she didn't have a care in the world when she was near that smell.. like for just a few minuets.. the world could be perfect. Tala couldn't have articulated the thought, but that's how she felt when she was close to the building, and that's what kept bringing her back.

When the snow man was finally built. Well, as much as she could manage, it was time for the fun part! The little girl body slammed the thing with a squeal of delight. It crumbled beneath her in a puff of powder. Giggling and smiling the child dug into the snow man to thoroughly kill it and even broke a couple pieces off to eat. Not the best choice when you were cold, but it was fun, and something in her stomach. Even if it was just water.
