★ Avalanche! [Navigation event]

For a while Iskra simply held her breath and hoped for the best. So far she hadn't gone under the wave of snow and debris. How long would that last, though? Thinking that appeared to have been a mistake, as fate or some other invisible force saw fit to have her little bark life boat get caught on something just below the surface of the snow. It stopped moving briefly, while Iskra continued, falling face first and struggling to right herself. Lucky for her, she fell as this nightmare was on it's last leg, slowing and coming to a stop so that when at last she stopped moving, Iskra surveyed the world around her, taking stock of her crimson body to see if she'd escaped this surprise natural disaster intact. She was mostly buried, except for her head and tail. Ugh, she probably looked stupid like this, thank goodness no one was around to see her. Wait, hadn't someone else been around here before? After struggling - an embarrassing amount longer than she should have - to free herself, Iskra shook out her starry pelt and glanced around, finding herself alone.

Tip toeing over the ice, snow, and bits of uprooted trees, Iskra called out, "Hello?" She could have sworn there were some strangers around. They probably got buried pretty far down. Sniffing around, Iskra moved this way and that, trying to narrow down where they'd be. At one point she thought she caught a scent. Sticking her nose into the ice, she took a big whiff and was fairly sure she smelled something but wasn't exactly certain and ended up with a frosty muzzle.
