❄ 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

I'm sure you'd be able to deal with it somehow, if you were offering.

[whatever dealing with it would mean. it doesn't seem to be too much of a bother to Chrollo - in reality, he was considering how to accommodate that. it was the price of dealing with Hisoka, really. there are advantages to working with someone else, and drawbacks. favorable outcomes to both, and many ways it could go wrong. choices branching out again and again until the end, just one route and a thousand nigh ones.

the wind howls outside and he shifts, pulling his coat a little closer. being cold isn't a problem, only another thing to deal with.]

And you aren't completely unused to listening to my orders.

[debauchewy]

Perhaps I am then. It could be a good test of restraint.

[Said playfully now as he gets up. Restraint, right... though he did do pretty good at it, except for those moments alone where he needed to calm himself the fuck down.]

[He gets up and very obviously moves to get closer and sit right next to where Chrollo is on his bench, a flickering candle nearby. He sits right next to him and could very well shudder at the feeling but he's curious about how the man will act as he gets this close.]

I'm not, am I? I like listening to you, a worthy leader by far. [He chuckles, turning his head and tucking his chin in near his shoulder as he stares at him.]</smalL. Are you cold? Boss~?

[Hisoka moves, and for three heartbeats, Chrollo is very still, watching him. then he breathes again, and he decides to accommodate this. by reducing the distance between them, Hisoka's made it nigh impossible to ignore his presence by any stretch of the imagination. it's a clever move if he wants to keep Chrollo's attention.]

It's chilly.

[obviously. it's snowing outside and this isn't the most insulated place. but he'll manage, he's been in worse places than this, and his complaining about it has so far been kept in his head alone. cold, that he can stand over rain. somehow it's less uncomfortable, even as it sets into his joints and makes his reaction times that fraction of a second slower.]

But if perhaps you're offering, perhaps I might be accepting.

[just like that. a decision made, having been considered and his interest falling more on the side of yes rather than no.]

[debauchewy]

[Mn... what a heavy gaze on him. Is he curious then? On guard? He wonders what's going through that head as he gets them closer, near touching their thighs together on the outsides as he sits close and looks over to him.]

It is... I'm so cold.

[He pouts a little in faux discomfort, teasing shifting his fingers to dare and touch at Chrollo's side. It's brief though, the little touch enough to make him shiver and closer his eyes before turning his head to face forward instead now.]

Mn... consider it that then. An offer. Do you accept?

[specialization]

Hmm.

[the answer is noncommittal, making Hisoka wait on his answer. but it had really been decided before Hisoka even moved over to his side, and the answer's withheld simply because. because Chrollo feels like it, because it's related to that restraint he talked about, because it was amusing.

don't think he doesn't notice you touching him, Hisoka. if they were on different terms Chrollo might have suggested the two of them sit close anyway, huddling a little to conserve heat. but not you. not this very instant, at least, will the suggestion come from him.]

I do accept. We can work together again.
