Snow on the ground disappears excess water so it doesn't pool. Snow held in hands just has water slide off.

"What is this, Teflon snow -"

"If it's not a Thing why isn't it melting?"

"Everything I make tends to be a little magic. In this case, I'm not sure if the magic is in the snow or the water. That cloud will keep raining forever and you could stand on it."

"WHOA." They start climbing on each other to try standing on the cloud.

Akira places a rope hanging in midair next to the cloud for them to climb.

They're not great at climbing ropes but it provides something for their human tower to anchor on. Eventually they wind up with an impromptu game of climbing up, rolling along the cloud and falling into the snow, and then circling around again.

She is briefly surprised that they can't climb the rope but doesn't worry too much once they figure out how to make things work.

One is still working on an elaborate snow sculpture. "What's your name? I'm Prisha."

"I'm Akira. It's nice to meet you. That's a neat sculpture."

"Thanks! Usually I work in mud, for the obvious reason."

"That makes sense. I can also make clay though I don't know if that could be fired. It may or may not take well to that. There's a lot of things I haven't had much reason to test before."

"Does it dry?"

"I don't actually know? I'm not really sure what it means for clay to be wet or dry. I just know I have clay and that clay is something people sculpt sometimes. I never realized that mud is usually squishy before I came here or at least not the way it's squishy here. Maybe clay is the same."

"Well, I'd love to try it even if I can't fire it."

She hold out her hand and conjures a solid cube six inches on a side of a red brown clay substance. It's dense and a bit tough but it is moldable with effort.

"...huh." Does sticking it under the rain help at all with the toughness.

It seems to. It also gets easier as she works with it longer.

Then presently she is sitting in her snow fort working the clay into stuff.

Akira goes back to watching the group playing on the cloud and also the other various people playing around.

She absently thinks about the various things she needs to test.
