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 ‧:❉:‧

W-Why? It's just a word. You s-seriously hate things to the strangest d-degree. [ He's about to protest regarding the fact that he's not comfortable at all and likely never would be in this stupid gazebo, but he's almost proven wrong when Sasuke drags him close.

Ahhh, momentarily bliss. There's a large section of the coat that can't quite cover them; it's the thought that counts. The novelty, too. Sasuke's snuggling with him~ he can't help but fail in suppressing a snort. ] Your bony elbow is jabbing me.

"Working," was all she supplied, accepting that cup of tea graciously. Really, she couldn't go and give away ALL of her secrets. "Thank you -- ah, I wasn't really expecting the storm to catch up this quickly. It was fortunate that you were here, yes."

[Wow you asshole, he was enjoying a nice cup of tea by the fire. Now he's got dripping wet clumps of snow hanging from the ends of his fluffy white hair.]

Kaaaaien-san! It's not very nice to sneak up on a guy like that, you know?

No, it isn't his fault - but he could have been a little more specific about the location, O'Hara.

[He does oblige and turn the heat up a bit, because Californians were just not designed for the snow. He glares out the window, the snow didn't look like it would let up any time soon.]

My question is where the hell did this weather come from, because last I checked California wasn't in snow traps like New England.

[ How many days -- months -- has it been? How long has she been on her journey? It's felt like far too long.

Searching for her brother has required more time than she anticipated, and if there was one thing Nina didn't have, it was time. Still, there wasn't much to do but wait for the moment. Although the snow wasn't too much of an hindrance, it wouldn't be wise to travel right now.

Finding an abandoned cabin was fortuitous. It would provide temporary shelter from the weather, at least.

She walks through the woods, several feet from the cabin. While collecting a small bundle of wood, she notices the fire and a figure in the distance. She hides behind a large tree, concealing herself from view.

Suddenly feeling cautious, she realizes that she hasn't seen anyone for miles.

Was someone following her? Someone sent from The Baby or his colleagues? Or one of Johan's men? ]

[Her approach is mostly silent thanks to the snow, but she does step on a single twig as she darts behind the tree, and that's enough to get John up and on his feet. He lifts the fire up into his palm, arm drawn back as though he's about to throw a baseball.]

Who's there?

And you enjoy strange things. Stop liking this. [ And don't think he doesn't notice that you do, Suigetsu. Even if he's socially defunct he's still managed -- to some extent -- to memorize his... friend's behaviors. The snort is particularly revealing. ]

If you don't like it where it is then I'll jab you in the n-neck, dammit. [ It's even colder like this... all he can hope is that Suigetsu's body heat will start impacting his own sooner rather than later. ] Why didn't you bring a thicker jacket? Don't tell me you don't own one...

[Meanwhile, there is a guy in a long white coat, a striped scarf, and a top hat just kind of chilling in the middle of the road, his face turned skyward, so that he can feel the snowflakes land on his cheeks. His hair is as white as the snow, as well, so all in all he might even be a miracle.

Do you approach?]

[ Her eyes widen in surprise. He was young, just a teenager... And how was he controlling the fire? She can't discern a lighter or weapon of any kind... She quickly recognizes the only explanation.

The shock momentarily fades, as she realizes that, in any case, it would be a bad idea to startle him.

She remains hidden, but her voice calls out. ]

It's okay! I'm not here to hurt you.

It's a pretty damn strange place for someone else to be, if they haven't been following me.

[His arm drops just a little, but his posture remains defensive.]

You want me to trust you, you'd better at least show your face.

[And really. Like Gilgamesh needs anyone's permission to do what he wants, when he wants, and wherever he wants. If he wants to take a stroll in nowherelandia in the cold, then by Crimson Moon above, he'll take a stroll in the cold to grace everything and anything with his presence. Because he is such a swell guy like that. So of course he'll be waltzing around with the white fur coat he would wear during the colder times of the season, along with whatever bling and top fashion he'll be sporting along for this walk.

SO at first, when this woman approaches him and asks him that question, he'll first glance at her in a 'What do you want, peasant?' manner before just scoffing it off like it was literally nothing.]

My business is none of your concern, woman. If you're looking to offer your service as a guide, then get lost. I have no time or patience for such things.

[ Placing the twigs and branches that she's gathered on the ground, she moves from the tree into view. Her arms are lifted as a placating gesture, to show that she's not a threat. ]

I haven't been following you. I was just lost and looking to collect some firewood.

[ "Which it looks like you wouldn't need," she would joke, if they were under different circumstances. ]

[ While Thomas isn't fond the weather either, there's a strange sort of surreal beauty to it all that he can't help admiring as much as despising it. Frost forms intricate crystals along the tips of his hair, it blankets everything in blinding whiteness and the city seems quieter for it. He likes the silence. Everything else, he could do without.

M&M's (as Thomas now calls him,) walks up closer to him and Thomas tugs his coat tighter around him. His wallet only carries a handful of loose change and cards, but he has nothing else of value - a lesson he'd learned early on in his days in the city refusing public transport. He shrugs, one hand gesturing down the empty roads. It's not like the man will follow him home and find out where he lives. Right? ] Seventeen blocks, that way. I doubt the sidewalks have been plowed yet.

That's a stupid order -- like I'll listen t-to what you have to say. [ Suigetsu knows he can't slip one by Sasuke, but maybe that's why he likes to pretend he can; there's a calmness in appreciating someone's body heat when you're pressed against them, but there's a thrill in pushing those limits. ]

Pft, you d-don't scare me with little threats l-l-like that! You're still cold, but I have a plan, are you gonna hear me out? [ He ignores that quip about his Winter-wear; of course he doesn't have a Winter jacket. As a fan of sleeveless shirts, he's a firm believer in as few layers as he can get by with. ]

Let me get on you. [ He states, far too casual about it -- his face turns, proximity disturbing. ] Wouldn't that be the b-best? [ Grin. ]

[He stares at her for a long time, cold and calculating, before finally letting his arm drop and snuffing out the flame in his palm.]

What are you doing way the hell out here, then? You can say you're lost, but there's nothing to find here.

[How you likin' this weather, bro? Because I'll tell you what, Katara is right at home and loving it. She's hunkered down behind a wall, using the snow for cover. She probably won't manage sneaking up on an assassin but that's not going to stop her from trying.

Careful if you decide to round that corner.]

[Oh. Look. Its another stray dog that has randomly appeared to him as he oh so nicely tried to have some alone time to himself to get away from the mongrel prattle and plebeians. And just when he got rid of the irish one by ditching him off with that twisted nun. And while it would be certainly gentleman like to give her lodgings until the storm passes, that kind of thing doesn't fly with this King of Heroes.

Slowly rising up after tossing in another log of wood into the fireplace, the figure slowly rose up to standing position and slowly glanced over his shoulder to stare directly at the maid with not so friendly red eyes.]

This lodging and everything in it belongs to a king. One that does not take kindly to trespassers of any kind, much less for those casually allowing themselves into his abode. So tell me... why should I let you stay in this dwelling and what would you offer in return for my hospitality?

[ Her arms fall, and her brow furrows. ]

I was on my way to somewhere else and took a wrong turn.

And you? [ He's only a child; why is he out in the wilderness? ]

Edited 2012-11-19 01:05 (UTC)

It's a long story. [His face closes up immediately, but he does make the gesture of taking a few cautious steps toward her.] There's no one else with you? It's just you?

Fuck you. No.

[ Even though she doesn't have an answer, she's suspecting the reasons. Did he run away from home? Did his family reject him after they discovered he was a mutant?

She sighs in concern before nodding. ]

Yes. Are you traveling alone too?

Edited 2012-11-19 01:13 (UTC)

Wh-... I don't need to wear them outside of my pants do I?

[Considering he hardly wore underpants anyway..]

Well Superman does, but you don't have to.

Yeah.

[He's still got one more question to ask, and this is the big one.]

I was about to torch you, and you didn't even flinch. Why?

[He grins]

You just want to see my underpants.
