❄ 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

No, but I can look again?

[He goes to stand up.]

[backwordscompatible]

[She reaches out with one hand and pulls him back down before her brain can fully catch up with the motion]

You don't have to.

This one's big enough. We can share.

[hackingyoursensors]

[He allows himself to be tugged down again. But he does give her a concerned look]

Are you sure?

[backwordscompatible]

[She gives him a hurried nod, shivering in the process. Even with the shawl, blanket, and fire, she couldn't seem to get warm]

[hackingyoursensors]

[He curls up next to her and tosses part of his cape over her too, not that he's sure it'll do too much. He wraps themselves as tightly as possible in the blanket.]

Don't worry, we'll figure something out.

[backwordscompatible]

Who's worried?

[There was a brief chill from the sudden movement...and then warmth. Enough to justify the sudden redness in her cheeks, for certain.]

[hackingyoursensors]

[Oh, yeah, the redness is totally because it's warm, shhh.]

Wonder how the others are doing.

[backwordscompatible]

[Glad we're in agreement.]

Artemis said she was with M'gann and Conner. So...Jury's still out.

[hackingyoursensors]

That sounds like a recipe for disaster. At least it's not KF and Artemis locked in a room together. Though maybe that'd give them the chance to talk about their feelings.

[He laughs because, ahaha, fat chance.]

[backwordscompatible]

[Also laughs]

That'll be the day.

It's not like they're completely obvious or anything.

[hackingyoursensors]

Oh, yeah, they almost fooled even me and my finely-tuned detective skills.

[backwordscompatible]

Keyword being 'almost', I'm guessing.

[hackingyoursensors]

I just barely noticed their oh-so-subtle feelings for each other. It took so much detective work.

[backwordscompatible]

Does that make me a detective too?

[hackingyoursensors]

Of course. If the whole superhero thing falls through, we can open our own detective agency.

[backwordscompatible]

And wear matching fedoras?

You're not a true detective agency unless you have matching fedoras.

[hackingyoursensors]

That's a given. Though we'd have to trade our capes for trenchcoats. I don't know how I feel about that.

[backwordscompatible]

You could always just wear yours on your shoulder like a cape?

[hackingyoursensors]

True. And it would add to my "hard-boiled detective" image.

[He unconsciously moves slightly closer to Zatanna, if that's even possible. The talking helps but it's still a little cold.]

[backwordscompatible]

[Apparently, it is possible. And comfortable enough that, smokey breath aside, her shivering has all but ceased. Awkward, but comfortable.]

What about me? If you're the hard-broiled detective, what's my image?

[hackingyoursensors]

You can be the smart, sassy detective that keeps the hardboiled detective from ending up...overboiled? Overdone?

[backwordscompatible]

Over-anything, really.

I think I could manage that. Especially the smart, sassy part.

[hackingyoursensors]

I think you've got that part down.

And with my Robin training and your magic, we'll be the greatest detectives ever.

[backwordscompatible]

Just don't tell Batman that.

[hackingyoursensors]

You might not want to tell him that you're replacing him as my smart, sassy partner.

[He can't say that with a straight face.]
