❄ 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

Yeah, but that's not magic. That's just stealth.

[backwordscompatible]

You say that like magic doesn't require stealth.

[hackingyoursensors]

Do you mean sleight of hand or general sneakiness?

[backwordscompatible]

Both.

[hackingyoursensors]

Isn't it kind of hard to be sneaky when you have to say your spells?

[backwordscompatible]

I could tell you...but that would be telling.

[hackingyoursensors]

Riiiight, magician secrets.

I hate to break it to you, but I was always that annoying kid who figured out magic tricks. Master detective skills has its downsides.

[backwordscompatible]

Alright then, Mr. Detective.

How'd I get that sandwich you're eating right now?

[hackingyoursensors]

You summoned it from Mount Justice.

[Before you get too impressed, he can tell from the style of the plate, not from any actual knowledge of magic.]

Besides, I said "tricks." Your magic goes waaaay beyond that.

[backwordscompatible]

Maybe

[She'll try not to pout]

Apparently, it doesn't.

[hackingyoursensors]

[Aww now he feels kind of bad.]

I could tell from the plate. I don't know exactly how you did it. Just an educated guess.

[backwordscompatible]

[A shrug, and she frees a hand just long enough to brush back some hair behind her ear]

No, you're right.

I had to visualize where the food came from in order to summon it. Just like how the clothes I wear have to come from my own closet.

[hackingyoursensors]

Still really cool. If I had a power like that, I wouldn't have to worry about losing my utility belt. That's the first thing they usually go for.

[backwordscompatible]

Maybe you should make it so obviously yellow?

[hackingyoursensors]

Yeah, but it helps me find it if I lose it. Can you imagine trying to find a black utility belt in the dark?

[backwordscompatible]

This is what they invented glow-in-the-dark masking tape for.

[hackingyoursensors]

[He shakes his head] Nothing glowing or reflective. Kind of ruins the whole stealth thing.

[backwordscompatible]

That's why you put in on the inside of your belt. Duh.

[hackingyoursensors]

...that's...actually kind of a good idea.

[Aaand point for Zatanna]

[backwordscompatible]

One of these days, I will teach you the tricks of my trade.

And the world will never forgive me for it.

[hackingyoursensors]

But we'd have a lot of fun.

[backwordscompatible]

The best kind of fun.

[hackingyoursensors]

The kind that would get us in huge trouble.

[backwordscompatible]

And that's where the stealth comes in.

You're only in trouble if you get caught.

[hackingyoursensors]

Good thing we're both masters of stealth, then.

[He laughs a little.]

But until then, you might want to eat your sandwich before it freezes over.
