❄ it's quiet
and the snow's beautiful tonight → a winter open meme

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.

Then it looks like you are in for a treat! Not to mention it is the only thing that is in here.

[ He spins around then, a jar of jelly in one hand and peanut butter in the other. There is a big smile on his face. Now they've just got to find bread! Bread that isn't moldy. That one could be a bit hard to do.

The Doctor steps around her with a bit of a nod--still aware she is royalty--before strutting back into the main part of the kitchen. Why is this cottage so big? Blimey, a military must have been here! Or maybe just a brood of children. ]

You can use it as a dessert! Earth is a bit... well. You know.

Well, then it seems we don't really have much choice.

[Hey, it's food. She can't really be picky in this sort of situation and she recognizes that. Even if she is apparently a Queen, this isn't the time to be fussy. She simply raises an eyebrow as he steps past her, shifting and checking the fridge and freezer to find some bread in there, stored for later when the family returned.]

It's frozen, but there's some bread here, Doctor. Though I'm still not sure what you mean by 'jelly' exactly. That looks more like....like jam?

[When he said 'jelly' Elsa obviously thought of the wobbly various coloured desert and ice cream rather than the more modern slang for it as the americans like to use. She eyes the jar when she passes him the bread and butter from the freezer and fridge.]

Jam, jelly! It is the same thing depending on where you go. Dialects are a tricky thing you know. Well, you will know. Especially when you start talking with those diplomats from different countries... how do you manage to do that? It has got to be absolutely boring.

[ The Doctor will never understand how royalty stands to be--well. Royal!

He pulls the sonic out and flips it a few times in his hand. ]

I've got an anti-freeze setting on the sonic here. I'm not sure what that will do to bread though...

Ah, of course. Different languages or accents or dialects, yes. They can be tricky sometimes. Though I admit I haven't traveled too far myself yet to encounter much difficulty, really.

[And of course she wasn't really queen for too long before she encountered the Doctor and went with him in the TARDIS, so there's also that. And that she was incredibly sheltered as a child, which didn't help in exposing her to others from the different kingdoms. At best, she met the neighbouring ones, those closest to Arendelle and those they participated in trades with. She simply shrugs, though watching as he fiddles with the sonic.]

I'd say we could thaw it. Toast it? Surely the heat if we put some wood on the fire would do it?

Don't worry. They'll probably be traveling to see you once we've got your memories back. You lot like holding those big parties with all the food. Chocolate, if I recall, is one of your favorites.

[ He gives her a fond smile with that statement. He is ridiculous and silly, but the Doctor also does know when to be tender and to be serious. Being serious usually leads to darker things, so he tends to try and not be that. ]

Depends if this building has any power to it. Fire risks burning it, but, it can't hurt to try. [ He flips the sonic on and holds up his hand. ] Give me five minutes.

I suppose. Chocolate is rather sweet.

[It's the one sweet thing she likes for the most part. One she shares with Anna. Elsa considers for a moment. He's probably right. Easier to try it with the sonic first if only to lessen the risk of burning it. She'll give a nod and head back to the lounge to sort the firewood there, placing some in the fireplace to get it ready to light. They'll no doubt need it tonight.

But it isn't long before she heads back to check on his progress.]

How is it going? Did you find the right setting?

Sweet and your favorite.

[ The fond smile stays on his face as he reaches up and taps her nose. Oh, bah if she is a queen. Elsa is his friend first. Which means he can get a tad sentimental around her. When the mood strikes him.

He then searches for the power box. He flips the side open, after undoing the lock and looks things over. Odd and a little worrisome. Not that he wants to make his companion worry. The Doctor frowns and scratches his chin. No replacement sparks and some switches for the circuits are gone completely.

Someone was in a rush and wanted to make sure this place would never see a lightbulb again.

There are a few possibilities in his mind as he turns to look at Elsa. ]

Someone's taken the parts needed to get power from point A to B in the place gone. [ He steps aside and gestures to where the holes and snapped switches. ] Which means that someone hand no intentions of coming back. Ever.

My favourite....right.

[Her nose scrunches up a little when he tapes it, her eyes closing briefly as he teases her. Elsa watches, not liking his expression as he checks over things, trusting he would know better about this sort of thing than her. It's enough to be piecing her memories back of home even as she is still gradually learning more about different worlds and times as it is.]

We can't find replacements? Or try make the parts ourselves? If there's no power I suppose it could be worse. Candles, the fireplace should do for heat and light at least.

[But yeah that is still. Concerning, to say the least. Just what happened here?]

It'll come back to you. Don't worry.

[ The Doctor reaches up and scratches his chin in thought. ]

Replacements might be around here. Although some of these things are plain broken. Rerouting could work, but I might blow the whole thing. Candles! Yes, candles are brilliant. Start there, Elsa. I'll try to find out why our hosts wouldn't want to return.

[ He is far too curious for his own good. Because now this whole thing shouts adventure to him. ]

I'm not sure I'd know which parts to look for, exactly. But I'm sure there must be candles around somewhere. That much I can do, search for those and some matches. But...are you sure this is safe? Rerouting? Or...what you're trying to do?

[Because he's giving that overly excited impression that reminds her of Anna. When he gets like this it's not always necessarily a good thing. A safe thing, rather. So she isn't entirely sure if it's safe to leave him alone. Especially if he ends up wandering outside in this exploration of his he now seems set on.]

Elsa. There is one thing you have to remember about traveling with me. Besides the two hearts, the fezzes, bowties, and the fact I'm a madman.

[ He leans close and waves the sonic between them. ]

Everything is dangerous. That's part of the fun.

You almost sound like Anna a bit there. She was always getting me up out of bed in the middle of the night to play, even if we'd be in trouble and supposed to be sleeping.

[But just right now, Elsa is more amused and curious to figure out what is going on than actually frightened. One hand reaches for his, briefly.]

I'll come help once I gather some candles. I'm sure there must be some in one of the cupboards in case of emergencies.

See? You're remembering a few things. [ He grins at her. ] Told you that it'd come back.

[ It still doesn't explain how she lost them to begin with. That is one of the reasons why he is keeping her close. They are traveling until he finds out why she hasn't got any memories. ]

Good thinking! Ha-ha, yes. Cupboards. How... quaint.
