❄ it's quiet and the snow's beautiful tonight → a winter open meme ‧ post with whatever character you want ‧ responders roll for weather + scenario and get to threading ‧ ??? ‧ profit snowfall; stage i; none, streets are already blanketed in white. stage ii; very light and intermittent. stage iii; light - moderate. lasts longer periods. stage iv; continuous, heavy snowfall. stage v; the hardest of cores - blizzards, snowstorms, you name it. scenarios; ① fuck the police, this is the best time for a walk. hope you've got a nice thick coat on. ② stranded in the buttcrack of nowheresville? weren't you watching the time? now you've gone and missed that last bus out of there. or maybe you're lost, somehow. what do? ③ literally chilling, in this weather, is quite easy to do. sitting around relaxing in it is a wee more difficult, but sometimes much more enjoyable, especially if shelter can be found. the snow is beautiful to watch, after all. ④ the weather's not going to stop you. your snow fort's packed full of ammo and ready to go. those aren't snow angels over there; they mark where the poor souls you've downed have fallen. be careful with that snowman's head!! ⑤ you're about fifty miles from civilization but there's a roof over your head, so never mind the chilly draught, right? right. you mightn't be the only one lucky enough to stumble upon this little shelter, though. remember to share the blanket. ⑥ everyone stuck outside should be jelly. you've got a fireplace and hot cocoa and damn if it isn't awesome. a heater's not quite so romantic, but it'd do. there'd better be a backup generator in case the power trips. ⑦ mix and match, or make up your own ‧:❉:‧ - from krystaliske @ memebells

5. Because.

[backwordscompatible]

[It was dark inside the cabin, abandoned and without power. And quiet; the others had managed to find shelter elsewhere, but the storm had hit too fast and too strong to leave Robin and Zatanna with many options. It was either this, or risk exposure to the elements.]

[Zatanna rubbed her hands together, feeling the chill even through her gloves, as she gave her eyes time to adjust to the lack of light.]

Cold.

[Stating the obvious, if only to break the silence.]

[hackingyoursensors]

[This isn't exactly the ideal place to be cooped up in during a snowstorm. At least he knew Zatanna could keep calm in situations like this.]

Come on, let's keep moving and see what we can find. There has to be something we can use in here.

[He pulls out a glowstick, snaps it, and lights up the area around them with bright white light.]

[backwordscompatible]

[She makes it a few steps before he cracks the light, illuminating the area just enough for her to catch a glimpse of a small fireplace on the opposite side of the room. Perfect]

Thgil eht erif!

[A warm, crackling blaze bursts to life.]

That's better.

[hackingyoursensors]

[He turns and grins at her.]

Nice.

I'm gonna keep looking around, see if I can find anything else we can use. Maybe you should stay by the fire: you're shivering.

[backwordscompatible]

[She was about to protest, when a particularly violent tremor wracked her body. He was right; her teeth were chattering, and she could barely feel her fingers.]

Alright.

[Making her way over, she knelt down on the small rug and held out her hands.]

This thing look like it hasn't been used in months.

Are you sure there's anything left around here to find?

[hackingyoursensors]

[Luckily, the cape helps Dick a little. If nothing else, they can share that. Hopefully, he'll find something, though.]

I won't know until I look.

[Most of it is debris-- broken furniture, bits of plaster that have fallen off of the walls and ceilings, garbage. But he does find a relatively clean blanket and an admittedly ratty shawl.

He returns to Zatanna and places the blanket and shawl over her.]

See? I found something.

[backwordscompatible]

You did.

[She gratefully wraps both blanket and shawl around her shoulders before looking up at him]

What about you?

[hackingyoursensors]

[He wraps himself in his cape.]

I have my cape. I use it for things other than just looking cool.

[He sits next to Zatanna, smiling.]

[backwordscompatible]

Hmm. You have a point there.

Maybe I should look into getting one of those.

[hackingyoursensors]

It would definitely be fitting for a magician. And we'd match.

Though, I might have to give you training in how not to get it caught in doors.

[backwordscompatible]

[She laughs a little at this, breath coming out in puffs of smoke]

Speaking from experience?

[hackingyoursensors]

[He scoots a little closer to Zatanna. Yeah, it's a little too cold in here.]

Let's just say that I wasn't always as smooth as I am now.

1, maybe turning into 4

[escapedprincess]

[She doesn't like the cold that much, but she has been inside way too much lately because of it. It had been snowing a fair amount recently and she is curious. So she puts on the warmest clothes she had and goes to find her friend. It really doesn't take her long to get there. She knocks and waits patiently for him]

[ooc: hope this okay. We can always assume she's a little closer to his age if you want]

[hackingyoursensors]

[Nope, you're okay!

Dick answers the door and he's dressed from head to toe in the warmest clothes he has. He's pretty used to the winters in Gotham, but he knows Alfred would chastise him for not dressing really warmly anyway.]

Hey, Kori. Nice day for a walk, huh?

[escapedprincess]

[She smiles when he opens the door. At least even if someone had opened the door, it probably would have been easy for them to know who she was looking for]

I isn't bad. [Could be better though]

Do you want to come for a walk with me?

[hackingyoursensors]

[Well, not a lot of people in Wayne Manor are bffs with a tall, red-headed Tamaranian so.]

Sure. [Suddenly becoming silly:] I'd be honored to accompany you, Princess.

[escapedprincess]

[Her smile becomes even brighter when he says that]

Thank you. It is always nice to have a handsome escort. Do you need to get anything before we go?

[hackingyoursensors]

[He thinks.] No, I've got everything. Unless you need an extra scarf or something-- I could go get another one.

[escapedprincess]

[She shakes her head. She's fairly well bundled up as it is] No, I am quite warm. And you will be warm enough?

[Checking one more time. Don't be a hero, Dick!]

[hackingyoursensors]

[But he is a hero. And is toasty warm, don't worry]

I'm fine. If I bundled up any more, I'd be walking like a penguin.

[escapedprincess]

[She chuckles at the mental image of him walking like a penguin not like the penguin]

Alright. The let us go.

[And she will move away from the door so they can start walking]

It is certainly cold.

[hackingyoursensors]

[He walks alongside her.]

Yeah. But the snow makes up for it, right? It looks nice and it's good for snowball fights.

[escapedprincess]

The snow is nice. It is much warmer on my world so this doesn't happen much.

[She glances over at him curiously] Snowball fights? What are those?

[hackingyoursensors]

You take the snow and make a ball out of it and then you throw it at someone. Usually, you build snow forts too as a kind of shelter from your opponent's snowballs.

It doesn't hurt, of course. Unless someone's a jerk and puts a rock in their snowball.
