❄ 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 ‧:❉:‧

[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.

:D I was hoping to draw you out! Sorry for the last drop... sorta went and had a baby LOL

[Brian is an L.A. boy, born and raised. Snow isn't his forte, hell-- snow isn't in his vocabulary. He's only seen the stuff less than a handful of times in his life so he's really sure that he shouldn't have been the one left to keep an eye on the skies. Gray is, in Brian's world, smog. Cold is cold. Gray cold is cold smog. Jesus.]

I'd just like to go on record saying that this was not my idea.

[He leans forward over the wheel, crossing his arms against the cooling leather, and watches the fat flakes pile on the hood. When they'd first pulled over the snow had melted on the metal over the ticking engine; that's not a problem any longer.]

I bet all you have is Funyuns. [But there's a half a crooked smile that slips onto his face.]

Bloody hell o.0 Congratulations!

[Have a raised eyebrow. And the San Franciscan native is meant to be any better at cold weather? Look, they could argue about this, but surely they can agree that it's much easier to just blame Dom and move past it. Life's a lot easier if you just assume everything is Dom's fault.]

See if you're getting any of the fritos with that attitude.

:D Thanks. That being said... computer use is a slow thing these days

[Brian snorts something that's mostly a laugh and collapses back against the seat. He's just hoping that the heater will hold up until the snow stops. Or the plows come. Shit. He is not the low-key guy that Han is, to sit here banking on Fritos.]

No offense, man, but this is not how I want to die. If it comes down to it, I will definitely eat you to save myself.

[Yes, blaming Dom. But blame ain't gonna keep them warm now that the sun is going down. Brian taps his fingers against the steering wheel, all nerves and no good ideas.]

No worries. I've just started a new full-time job so I'm a bit all over the place myself.

You've got that the wrong way round, man. You've got more meat on you. If we're resorting to cannibalism I'd last way longer if I ate you. [He explains this in an even, reasonable tone of voice you might find yourself nodding along to if you weren't paying attention to the words. It's a gift. Half his stock in trade as a conman is making the insane sound plausible.]
