❄ snowfall

[kristaliske]

❄ 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 ‧:❉:‧

Must've missed it.

[ Truth be told, he hadn't even been looking. Leo can fly a bronze dragon just fine, but cars? They'd never been good on his stomach. He might even be thankful the thing broke down if it wasn't for the weather. ]

[veiled_hero]

Is there anything you'd want? [He hums a bit as he digs through the cabinets.]

Rusty as fuck but I had to <3 IV-2

[anddontlookback]

[Much as he hates to admit it, it's sheer fucking stupidity that's got them into this mess. If anyone had thought to check the weather forecast before they set off they might have avoided this. But no. Instead they're stranded in the middle of a growing snowstorm in a low-slung sports car on racing softs which is less than fucking useless in weather like this. The snow is halfway up the wheel arches already and mounting up all the time; they're going nowhere for the forseeable future.

On the upside though, the car's still working even if it can't move, and being them they've got pretty much everything they own in a couple of worn bags in the back seat. And being him there's a not insignificant stash of munchies tucked away in one of said bags. It could be worse. He's not exactly thrilled about the situation, but it could be worse.

Staring out at the steadily falling snow, he stifles a yawn and slouches down further into the passenger seat]

So that went well.

[Jack is ignoring the whole armed and pissed off thing because he's way too interested in this encounter, fascinated that he can actually be seen. His eyes are wide and fixed on Priest like he may be the most amazing person he's ever met. Because he is a person, right? A human and not some other... something.

So he walks right up to him, confused all at once, tapping his staff against the ground to stop the snow so he can look at him clearly.] It wasn't a spell. I don't know any spells. Just... normally no one can actually see me.

[He's moving to circle him now.] So how come you can? [Please tell him how please tell him he can show other people how too, okay?]

let's try that again with the right account... XD

[deardirect0r]

Of course and chocolate sprinkles too, if you like.

[Smart science man feels more like a frustrated, angry father right now. He turns, mostly to prevent Carolina from seeing his reaction and looks at the darkening sky. The first wispy flakes are starting to drift to the ground. It's going to be a long walk back to town.

He want's nothing more than to call the bus company and curse their lousy, antiquated service... instead he just sighs heavily and puts on a smile, holding out his hand to his daughter.]

Well, let's start walking shall we.

Meh. They're both Church's :3

[whatever_it_takes]

Okay! [She hops off and takes his hand again, and walks along in happy silence, thinking of whipped cream and sprinkles and hot cocoa! Maybe if she were lucky there would even be a cookie involved! But then the walk started to get a little longer than she'd remembered, and the snow was starting to come down and it was pretty but wasn't there enough on the ground already?]

[She looks back up at her dad.] Why aren't we going home?

[It's posed as a simple question. For four she's a stoic kid and whatever her father says she'll nod and not ask again.]

[clearasil]

[ Natalie knew the ins and outs of driving and offered take the wheel herself (never mind not having a permit or a license). It hadn't even been too difficult, hot wiring the car, but the jalopy couldn't hold out long enough. Of course.

She sighs tiredly and hopes they're not duped by a demon at this rest stop. Her hand brushes the her hidden quiver briefly, as if making sure it's still there. ]

I never hear from my mom and now I have to go on a quest for her.

[timelapse]

Statistics.

[ HAIRTOSS. AGAIN. ]

it's true love

[withaz]

[That comment makes her laugh as she comes back, a couple of Coronas in her hand, one for him and another for herself because it's not like her boss cares if she has a drink or two while she's working.]

He probably did. He almost failed public speaking in high school.

[It doesn't occur to her in that moment, for whatever stupid reason, that while she knows who Chuck is, he probably has no idea who she is. And she probably sounds like a stalker.]

I am not responsible for crack that ensues.

[sanguinolent]

Well, yes it's fine. Bitterly cold but nothing his accelerated system can't handle with a thick coat.
He's not looking for a fight, but he's not not looking for a fight either.

we're going for au shenanigans then

[caelus]

The Academy campus is too warm during the winter months for Jim's tastes, so he jumped at the first chance to go on a ski trip up north. He has no idea how to ski, and no intentions of learning, but he's very good at snow forts.

He's taken out at least six other cadets with his horde of ammo from behind his high, safe walls as they went skiing happily by. When he spots John, just walking, he can't resist.

He throws one of his hastily made snowballs, aiming at center mass, and then ducks back down behind his walls, one hand to cover his mouth to stifle his laughter.

works for me!

[sanguinolent]

He might smirk to himself, grabbing up a couple of snowballs of his own.
If Jim pokes his head back up he'll be getting two, directly after the other.

John, is of course, smirking.

[caelus]

Those two surprise him and send him back on his ass, sputtering and wiping at the snow on his face. I hope you know this means war, John.

He scrambles back for cover next to his high walls, raising his voice to be heard over them:

"You know what this means, don't you?"

[sanguinolent]

He smirks and another plops beside kirk over the wall.
"You should get a partner, Kirk, then we'd be evenly matched."
He's making snowballs as fast as possible, expecting a volley of them before Kirk comes out again.

[Christmas Day. Most important holiday of year. The little children awaken to find things that bring them great Wonder beneath their trees. And the snow! Jack had outdone himself this year; there was white powder as far as North's wide eyes could see.]

[Yes. Very good.]

[It was not often he had the time to stop and smell the snowflakes, but for today? Today was a good day to do so. And an even better day to practice his old throwing arm. The elves were out and about, about as useful as ever--that was, to say, not very. Some of them were so bad at throwing snowballs, they were hitting themselves in the face. Or worse, the elves behind them.]

[It was too easy. North could not resist the opportunity to practice his old throwing arm; grabbing a handful, he packed it into a tight ball and threw.]

now i have songs from enchanted going through my head

[harangue]

[ see, chuck knows nothing about alaska or where becket grew up so a comment like that is less "stalker" to him and more "this is alaska everyone probably knows everyone this place sucks hairy ones."

but it does make him little confused. he tilts his head to the side in an expression that makes him look a little bit like a puppy. but god help the person that ever points that out to him. ]

You knew him when he was in school?

[commandertoolbelt]

[ He makes a face. ]

Aren't they all like that? I only heard from my dad once, when I was on that quest a while ago.

[ Fat lot of good that did, too. Praising him for a project from seven years ago? Warnings that were too vague to be useful? Yeah, thanks a lot, Hephaestus. ]
