Just outside the Igloo Village was one of the worst blizzards the area had seen in a long time. Freezing, subzero temperatures and icy winds plagued the winter "wonderland", much to the displeasure of a certain immortal midget.
Kill Audio trudged his way through the snow, completely unprepared for winter. Still wearing his usual black tee-shirt and jeans. He was unconscious earlier and had awoke to this icy hell.
"Fuggin weather," he shivered, rubbing his arms trying to stop the frost-bite that was likely forming. He looked to the sky in anger.
"REAL FUNNY MOTHER NATURE, LET'S PICK ON THE GUY WHO CAN'T EVEN DIE OF HYPOTHERMIA AND THEN GIVE IT TO HIM!"
He felt faint. Stumbling his steps, his feet finally gave out and he collapsed into the snow.
"Let's see if someone finds me now...at least I know I'll be alive when they do..." he choked out, bitterly.

When someone grew up in Atlanta, they generally tended to develop low tolerances for snow and the cold in general. Then again, that applied to normal people, not the strange.
And twelve-year-old Matthew Papadopoulus was most definitely not normal in any sense of the word, from his oversized eyebrows to his pink violin to his being a dumb blonde.
While his semi-long-sleeved shirt, jeans and sneakers offered minimal protection form the cold, Matthew was oblivious to the fact that he just might catch frostbite out there.
Frolicking along, humming a tune only he knew, Matthew then suddenly tripped over something, getting a faceful of snow.
"Whoops! Guess I gotta see where I'm goin' better!"
At the moment, his thin body was on top of Kill Audio, which he had landed on (except for his face) with a small 'thud'.

At this point, Kill was so numb, the only thing he really felt was a shortness of breath the moment he landed on top of him. Kill turned his head towards the small boy who fell on top of him.
"Hey..."he barely gasped out. He sucked in a breath of air as best he could without coughing ", H-hey! Kid! Thank God you're here! You know if there's a town nearby? I could use some help..." He finally gave in and erupted into a coughing fit.

It was at that point that Matthew realized just who he had landed on. Oh. So that's why only his face ended up getting a faceful of snow.
A big grin erupted. "Hey hey hey! I'm Matthew Raviolini Papadopoulus, and I'm a Pisces!"
Maybe the air was freezing his tiny brain. Or maybe he was just born like that. Whatever.
In either case, it took Matthew a minute to realize just what Kill Audio had said.
"Yeah! There's a village made outta igloos right here!" He chuckled. "They found me frozen in a block of ice and managed to defrost me!"

Kill just stared with a rather...indescribable expression at first.
"Y-yeah, great kid. I don't know nuthin' about my zodiac. But thankyou," he tried to stand but could barely manage. "Can you help me there?"

"Okay-dokey-artichoke!" Matthew chirped, standing back up to his full height. He then grabbed one of Kill Audio's arms.
"Ready?! Okay!!"
He yoinked up the other man with a strength that contrasted his thin body.

"Wha-" Kill started to speak as Matthew yanked him to his feet. Kill wasn't all that tall at least for Matthew's sake but it caught Kill off guard. He didn't expect the boy to be able to lift him, being how stocky he is.
"Thanks kid..." he managed to speak again as they headed towards the village.

"No problem!" Matthew replied. "Now, let's see if I can remember what way it was..."
Dumb blonde didn't even see his own tracks leading to the village, or the trail that had come into existence when people from Igloo Village had yanked his body, frozen in a block of ice, into the village to defrost him.

Wonderful..., Kill thought to himself, keeping an eye out and trying to see if he could find something. His vision wasn't so great at that moment though. But then he caught a glimpse of something...
"H-hey!" he choked ", 'zat look like footprints to you?" He pointed towards what he thought were footprints. He knew they didn't come from him at least.

"Huh?" He looked down, snow blowing into his face. Matthew sneezed once.
Squinting his blue eyes to protect his vision, the blonde saw...
"Looks like someone with the exact same shoe size was here too!"
Could anyone be more dense?!

Kill just...slowly turned his head towards him.
"You ever stop to think...that m-might be yours?" Kill asked him in a rather condescending tone.

Matthew cocked his head to one side. "No way, silly! It's obviously somebody with the exact same shoes! We even wear the same brand!"
His eyes turned to the long trail. "Looks like they were draggin' someone frozen. Maybe it was me!"

Kill just...blinked a few times.
"Well...just follow the damn footsteps kid, they probably lead to the village," he spoke through clenched teeth ", Where there's footprints, there's people."
