Snow Day

THE SNOW DAY MEME



Looks like the weather forecast was right; it's absolutely freezing! Not only that, but your town/city/jamjar/wherever is knee-deep in snow. Schools are shut, roads are backed up for miles and the general quiet chaos of a snow day has taken over.

But forget those negative nellies! Just post a comment with your series name and character name as usual, as well as any other notes you wish to add, then pick a prompt using the RNG and get started!


1. OMG SNOW!!!

Snow is just the BEST THING EVER, RIGHT?! Well, that's what you think and you're determined to have a good time with snowball fights, snowmen, snow forts and every other conceivable kind of snow-related activity with your friends... even if they don't really want to join in.

2. FUCK YOU, SNOW.

Oh god, it's snowing. This just completely ruins your day. Maybe you were planning to go shopping but the roads are still blocked up, or because the school closed, you need to hire a last minute babysitter for your kids. Whatever the reason for it, you're not pleased about this snow and you don't care what anyone else thinks.

3. SNOW SIEGE

Oh lord, it looks like you're stuck inside. With the amount of snow at your door, you can't open it! Will you make a daring escape out the window or will you just give up and watch TV? But what if you run out of snacks? Or the TV reception dies?!

4. BUSINESS BEFORE PLEASURE

With all this snow around, people's drives and lawns are completely blocked up. Why not take the opportunity to make a quick buck and clean their front gardens for them? If you team up with your friends, you can become a snow-clearing machine and make massive profits!

5. A WALK IN THE SNOW

Nothing like the sound of freshly fallen snow crunching away under your shoes, right? You don't really care either way about the chaos and even though it's chilly, the one thing you want to do today is head out for a walk in the snow and maybe grab a hot chocolate on the way back.

6. WILDCARD

Either combine any one of the above prompts or come up with your own scenario!

[Kayneth's book wasn't exactly fireproof, but Volumen Hydragyrum was, and at the first sign of any danger to Kayneth--such as foreign magic, or the stirrings of it, it quivered and rose, ready to protect its master.

Kayneth narrowed his eyes.]

Please, spare me the work of amateurs. What are you trying to do?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

If you must know, I'm trying to warm myself up.

[The complicated way apparently.]

In my dragon form, fire comes naturally to me but when I'm like this it's a little trickier to master it. Zephyr, It takes even the most skilled dragons a long time maintaining a flame in their human forms...

It's a little harder for me seeing as I'm a half-blood.

[tenured]

Is that all?

[Without warning, the temperature in the room immediately rose quite a few degrees.]

I'm not interested in your excuses. Now you can desist.

[There, problem solved. It's great to be a powerful magus!]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[Well, he didn't have to be so rude about it - but she's grateful the room's heated up, even if it is all thanks to him.]

...Well I could still use the practice.

[She huffs and folds her arms, staring out the window back at the snow.]

[tenured]

Practice on your own time.

[Not while trapped with him during a snowstorm!]

If you burn this place down, I am not helping you.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Well I have to do something to pass the time, especially since one of us here here isn't exactly in a social-ish mood.

[Oh look, he has a book. Maybe if Kayneth's feeling nice he'll let Saft read it once he's finished. That is if it's worth reading.]

...What are you reading?

[tenured]

Well, I'm sorry I'm not here for your entertainment. How painful that must be for you.

[He doesn't sound very sorry...]

It's an ancient text on spiritual evocation.

[Great light reading!]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

You know I've stayed quiet for a while now, But if I'm absolutley honest with you, I think this "Oh so high and mighty" act of yours is only going to get you so far.

How can you even develop a relationship of any sort with anyone if you're going to put up a wall everytime someone tries to start a conversation with you?

[He's engaged right? Not that Saft knows anything about that - but you would think he'd at least to try and make nice with another member of the opposite sex or something. Hell maybe engaging in a conversation with someone else for once might give him some pointers on how to speak to other people without coming off as the world's biggest prude.]

And by the way? Some mage you are - you haven't even managed to get us out of here yet. Which means you either aren't as great as you make out to be or you actually want to spend time with me.

So what is it?

[tenured]

Ah, have I offended you? What a shame. For your information, I have a number of colleagues and associates, as well as people I am more than willing to speak to. You simply aren't among their number.

I'm not interested in wasting time and energy on dispelling a storm that puts me in no real danger. It will pass.

What do you mean, "so what is it"? I told you what it is. It's a piece of writing on magecraft. As it's rather esoteric, I doubt it would be of interest to you.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

The sooner the better.

[She snorts and then turns her back on him and goes back to staring out the window. He knew perfectly well what she was getting at and instead he chose to taunt the girl by ignoring her query all together.]

[tenured]

[Kayneth was good at taunting and ignoring people. It would be a shame to let such excellent skills go to waste.]

That is one point on which we are in agreement.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[Humph.]

Makes me wonder how you have any friends.

[tenured]

You can go on wondering. It's not as if I intend to introduce you to them. But they are generally people with whom I have things in common.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Well we have one thing in common at least.

We're both magically inclined. Even if both of our magic abilities are completely different.
