❄ 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 ‧:❉:‧

[She did as he asked, dutifully, running to the bench and pausing just long enough to push aside some snow so she could sit. Daddy would figure it out. He was a smart science man. She plopped herself down and beamed up at him.]

[With the mention of hot chocolate she beamed even more.Unaware of the storm, this was definitely a happy diversion.] Can I get whip-cream on it?

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.]

[deardirect0r]

[He couldn't tell if the snow coming down was actually from the approaching storm or if had just been picked up by the bitter gusts of wind, not that it really mattered. Damnable weather.]

Because the buses decided to quit early. [Displeasure is plain on his face. Naughty, lazy buses!]

It just means we get a little more time to enjoy ourselves here. [He tries to put a happy spin on the abrupt change in plan. She's a strong little girl and he doesn't like talking down to her, but he also doesn't want to distress her. They simply have to be adaptable and adjust their plans to the new situation.]

[whatever_it_takes]

Oh. [She thinks on his answer for a moment.] I bet if you were their daddy they wouldna quit.

[A beat, and she swings her hand in his a little, smiling up at him.] But I don't mind.

[More time with Daddy was never a bad thing.]
