With the events of the previous season behind them, Tomo and her team look forward to the sort of entertainment only winter brings. Byakko for all his feline aloofness, seems to revel in the cool weather, to the surprise of his new friends.

Friends… How strange to think of this rag-tag group as something more than subjects, tenants, or guests. Perhaps Tomo did fit the meaning of her name, Friend or Wisdom depending on the Kanji. She certainly has learned a lot and as she changes, so do those around her.

Catch up on Tomo's story here!

    Tomo's Winter Matsuri
    Friday
    Time: TBA
    Room: TBA

    Step right up! It is time once again to test your skills, win prizes, and obtain bragging rights at our winter matsuri. Join Tomo and her friends for some games of "chilly" chance. We also have a beautiful backdrop for your enjoyment and a variation on our kimono dressing area.

    Frozen Footprints Kimodameshi
    Saturday
    Time: TBA
    Sheraton Leatherwood 2&3

    Enter if you dare... The kimodameshi has a cold-hearted host this year and she has turned our maze into a winter wasteland. The Tsurra-onna (Icicle Woman) didn't come alone either... Her friends are just as frigid as their icy grasp. Can you make it past their snowy traps or will all that be found are your frozen footprints?

    Note: Blacklights will be present

    More information and tickets are available here.

    Byakko’s Snow Ball Battle
    Saturday
    Time: TBA
    Room: TBA

    It wouldn't be winter without a snowball fight. Byakko wants to see how well we can battle it out on a snowy field. Dodge, weave, or just throw as many as you can. Bring friends or compete with whoever is there. Snow ball fights will last about 5 minutes each and allow 10-12 people to play at a time.

    Drydock Blitzball
    Sunday
    Time: TBA
    Room: TBA

    Dust off your cross-trainers, its time to get your blood pumping. We are bringing back one of our favorite activities. Based on the Final Fantasy X mini-game, we present Drydock Blitzball. You will need to bring a couple friends to help you out as teams will be between 4-6 players.

    Check out the rules over here!
