Session 2 of my Lifegen game!!! (Part 1)

(Session 1)

*Best impression of an old, British man* Here we see a cat, that we have dubbed 'Freezestrike', attempt to gracefully leap over a stream next to the SongClan camp.

Unfortunately for the young feline, she has failed her stunt and felled face first into the river, much to the mirth of her friends, Premafrostnip and Rowaneyes. Luckily for her, the river wasn't very deep but she is still drenched, head to tail, in water.

*normal* Honestly, the reason I drew Premafrost and Rowan here is due to the fact they were the only cats of Freeze's age that I had solid designs for ♪~ ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ Even then, I gave Rowan a little tweak (& Premafrost but it's relatively minor).

<< Rowan: "Allergies? Freeze, you know I'm-"

Rowan: *sneezes*

Freeze: (◎_◎ ;) >>

Same moon but this time a dialogue prompt with Rowan. Girl believes she is made of tough stuff but unfortunately her allergies are ruining her image. Freeze is a little concern for her health. Also, another design tweak for Rowan ˄·͈༝·͈˄

<< They promised to develop their friendship >>

(Same moon as the last two)

Parsley has been Freeze's crush since they were kits and, honestly, I should've drawn her more often (and Freeze's other close relationships). Parsley and Freeze always hang out and gave blushing side glances to each other and others in Freeze's circle definitely took noticed.

Freeze, here, confronts Parsley with the fact he has a crush on her and, surprisingly, Parsley reveals she feels the same for him. They decide that they will hang out more and develop their friendship (=^ェ^=)

<< Antlershock (they/flower/flowers/flowerself): "Do you think 5 healers is enough?" >>

Just me pointing out the obscene about of healers the clan has *rolls eyes*. But, hay! At least we've finally met a few of them!

These two are Antlershock and flowers son, Freckleblur (he/they) >:3 Antler is one of Freeze's parental figures and a bit of a troublesome bitch. In game, they have the traits 'daring' and 'great decorator' (hence all the plants flower is wearing) and they taught Freezekit the hunting crouch.

Let me repeat: Antlershock, a clan healer, taught a literal kit how to do the hunting crouch used for, well, hunting!

Flower is also a huge matchmaker, being the one to encourage Freeze to pursue her crush the most. Flower even gave him a piece of prey in order to help swoon Parsley. (I don't remember when, but it happened)

Also, their sprite's quite pretty and I may or may not have decorated it a bit - > - ;

Freezestrike doesn't chat with Freckleblur often but he seems like a sweet guy. In game traits are 'loving' and 'good fighter'.

<< Snowtrail (he/him): "Behold!"

Snowtrail: "Bamboo!" >>

Alright, Moon 19 a.k.a my excuse to draw all of Freezestrike's littermates because they desire attention ( ๑ÒωÓ๑ )

First up is humble, fantastic tunneler Snowtrail! Plus his childhood ladybug pet Skitterbug :3 He just sorta vibes and does occasional caving but he is one of Freeze's closest littermates, alongside another we'll get to shortly.

On this moon, Snow decided to grow some bamboo next to his nest in order to get some extra shade by lakeside his clan calls home.

<< Premafrostnip: "Stop singing..." >>

Well, speak of the devil, here is Premafrostnip, Freeze's closest littermate! I've already talked about her a bit last time but she is just a feisty, challenge-lover she-cat ♡(>ω< ✿) Her in-game traits are 'oblivious' and 'multilingual', hence the drawing which was base on a prompt that mentioned her 'politely' asking a bird to stop singing so that she can sleep.

I may have forgotten the 'politely' part...

The bird is shocked that a cat can understand and communicate with it and fears the implications.

Side note: Premafrostkit asked Freezekit whether or not they'll end up as siblings that bicker with each other and hate each other and even fight against each other! Freezekit quickly promises she'll not let that happen to their relationship and Premafrostkit swears to it.

<< Premafrost: "Borealisfur!"

Borealisfur (he/him): ʱªʱªʱª(ᕑᗢूᓫ∗) >>

Borealisfur, oh Borealisfur. Borealis was the sibling that Freeze didn't like due to his manipulative and uptight attitude. In fact, the comet moth wing he wears is one of the many gifts that cats have showered him with when he was a kit.

To make matters worse, he was mentored by Tadpolesnow (he/him), Tangle's mate and the deputy that Freeze looked up do. That officially made them rivels (｀^ ´) Thankfully, Freeze graduated first.

Borealis has loosen up from his more attention hogging kit-hood (in game traits are 'adventurous' and 'pathfinder') and he and Freeze have a more friendly rivalry type of sibling relationship: Willing to pick on each other but not wishing any true ill intent.

Here, after Freezestrike points out that Premafrost does not have a spider on her tail, Premafrost is calling Borealis out for his bullshit while he enjoys himself.

Side note: I intentionally tried to make Borealishfur look like a Freezestrike doppelgänger by having them share similar traits such as limb fur and flopped ears.

Freezestrike and Snowflakefrond (he/him) chat about the ownership of a bug :-)

Snowflakefrond is the most recent healer of SongClan. As per tradition, he wears a type of plant of him, which, in his case, is some mistletoe. Snowflake's traits are 'troublesome', 'philosopher' and 'dog-whisperer' and his mentor was actually Antlershock.

Honestly, I don't focus much on Snowflake and he is more of a background character but, via traits only, he is an interesting character.

A redraw of some in-game patrol art, featuring a slightly redesigned Rivernose that actually features her lime bow that I forgot to draw last time (;ﾞ°´ω°´) !

Behind her is Borealis and, in front, a new face ᵔ ᴥ ᵔ Howlpaw (she/her) was a kit that Freeze and Parsley found alongside another cat (I forgot who). I would have made them adopt her if it we've for the fact that a., Both Freeze and Parsley were very young (not even 2 years old) and not mates yet and b., Howl was 5 moons old and about to be apprenticed. Not saying it's impossible to adopt at that age but I didn't see the point.

I believe Howl was 7 moons old at this point.

Next moon, finally! As well as the first appearance of Parsley's and Rowan's littermate (the last of the trio), Riftbillow (he/him)!

Rift's arrogant personality clashes with Freeze's so he doesn't like him but we tolerate him because he is practically family. Ironically, when I went to insult him one time, Rift mentioned how all the cats here are apart of a clan so therefore he and Freeze should put aside their differences and I can't help but find that slightly funny as well as shocking.

Rift also has the trait 'guardian' and has a worm friend that is not drawn here. The flower he is wearing is a morning glory gifted to him by Rivernose.

In the above picture, Freezestrike had observed Rowaneyes' talking Riftbillow's ears off but he isn't snapping back, just carrying on with his day disgruntle.

.

Welp, this has been a very fun session so far (=^ェ^=) Let's see what the patrols have to offer-

What da fuck!!!

The snow in the valley has pretty much all but gone.⠀ ⠀ Which is fine by us...⠀ ⠀ We keep saying to each other it’s “almost our season”.⠀ ⠀ Days spent on the trails and no snow stopping us. We were hoping we could make it up and over this weekend, but the snow was still too much for our rigs and we had to turn around- Still worth it in our books!⠀ ⠀ Cheers to “our season” on the horizon!⠀ ⠀ ⠀ _____________________________________________⠀ #fj40 #landcruiser #landcruiserfj40 #fj40landcruiser #montana #adventures #toyota #starmeadows #toyotaoffroad #builtnotbought #yotamafia #montanamoment #406 #bigskycountry #kalispellmontana #snowtrails #ourseason #montanasummer #cheers #summertime #bfgoodrich (at Kalispell, Montana) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwA5FYahqgF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1eqbnxvszrlty

平成30年12月15日ー12月16日。

仕事を終えた僕は急いで片付けをし、家に戻ってYの迎えを待つこと数分、山道具に酒を詰め込んで事前に指定された場所へと向かう。

僕とYは、牡蠣と酒にまんまと釣られたことを後に知る罠の様な誘いに胸膨らませ到着するも誰もいない八ヶ峰家族旅行村に戸惑う。道路は凍っていた。

遅れてWILDBOAR 30Kの発案者“obmyuki”が着き、2人が夢見ていた牡蠣パーティー��ミッドナイト）の会場は、予想を遥かに超越した屋内型野外施設で行うことを現実として捉えるには時間と勇気、そして酒が必要だった。

氷点下、しかも屋外でMIDNIGHT OYSTER BBQ then SLEEP...気が狂ってる。明日山を30k走る前夜だというのに...。山は山でも冬山の30k。そう僕たちは罠にかかったのだ。帰るという選択も出来ないまま、準備を進め炭に火をつけた。

はく息は白く、冷えたビールで乾杯。僕は全てをダウンで身を包み、頭はTERRA NOVAのアジョ トラッパーハットで守った。肉を焼き、牡蠣を焼き、麦酒から焼酎、熱燗へと酒はすすみ、最後はどん兵衛で〆たかと思いきや、ポテトチップスを食べ終えたころには撃沈寸前になった。

obmyukiとYは、奥で何やら騒いでいる。見てみるとボルダリングをしている。完全にイカれてる、イッちゃってる、イノーマル、普通じゃない並外れてる。（by DEV-LARGE）人とは違う独創性に富む、といってもこれはアカンやろ！と思いながらも自分も少しやってみてアホらしくなって寝袋に身を入れた。

恐ろしき寒さは、今までの経験値と用心した装備により朝まで凌ぎきることが出来た。しかし酒は残っているし、睡眠が足りない。そりゃそうだ、2:30amまで宴を続けたのだから。

パンパンに腫れた顔と目で受付を7:00に終え、着替え、トイレを済ませ、ジョーク混じりの大会概要の説明を受け、はいスタートみたいな流れに頭も体もついていかず、気付いたらレースは始まっていた。

一周目は膝下の雪といってもパウダースノーでサラサラしてるし景色も良くダウンヒルが激ヤバでテンションは上がった。エイドには自然薯蕎麦に猪肉の味噌鍋、鹿肉の炭焼き、へしこおにぎりなど充実した内容で、蕎麦をかけ込みおにぎりを食べて2周目へ。一周目と違い、気温が上がり雪が溶け、ランナーの足によって踏み削られたスノートレイルは凸凹。八ヶ峰山頂までと五波峠までの分岐からエイドまでの下りはズルズルのドロドロ��滑り落ちてくように下った。

稜線に吹き付ける風が体の芯まで冷えさせ、頭からつま先までベチョドロのまま暖かい蕎麦や鍋を食べれば、もう風呂入って帰りたい気になるけど、3周目いくことに。ウェア、ギアの選択が間違っていれば心折れてたと思うけど、防水ソックスにゲイター、そしてinov8のシューズにより足下のストレスはまったくなく、常にサラサラだったのと、レヤリングも◎だった。あとは根性！（笑）

メンタル＆フィジカルともに調子良く最後まで集中して走れたし、最後は追い込みランまで出来たんで自分として上出来でした。

風呂入ってる間に表彰式も終わってて、フィニッシャー記念品を受け取りスタッフの方々に一言二言交わし、僕にとっての初のWILDBOAR 30kが無事終わりました。

レースの感想は正にHURT100をモチーフにしたエクストリーム・極寒草レース。T字で設定されたコースを3ラップ走る中、何度も出場者と顔を合わせハイタッチをしたりなんかするところが、石川弘樹さんとobmyukiがそうであったように、あのハワイの数日間を思い出す。厳密に1ラップ11km×3、累積標高3,200m、だからHURT 100を完走TOP10入りするobmyukiにとったら朝飯前程度の設定なんだけど凡人にはキツい。（笑）次は暖かいor涼しい時に企画して頂きたいですね。

WILDBOAR実行委員会、大会ボランティアの皆さん、ありがとうございました。「WILDBOAR」がこれからも続いていくことを願います。

THANX obmyuki,yusuke,wildboar crew！
