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 ‧:❉:‧

[ At that, a small smile appears before she turns her head to glance at the tree that had concealed her presence.

She decides to let her power answer for her. A few seconds pass before the firewood she placed on the floor floats toward her and lands gently into her arms. ]

[happiestberry]

[ Her fact turns bright red. ]

Wh-what? N-No! Miwako didn't say that!

[depressinglyawesome]

Awwww, but c'mon, what's use with snow if you don't have a snowball fight?

[Don't be a party pooper, Taiki.]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[That's the answer he wanted. For the first time, he relaxes visibly, pulling out his lighter with a little smirk.]

Don't worry about the firewood. Just tell me you know where the cabin around here is and I'll keep you in fire as long as you need.

[singandstitch]

[God she's cute. He teases her some more.]

Heh, and everyone think's I'm the pervert.

[The Quick Stop is just ahead. Hot Chocolate here we come.]

[imhome]

[ She nods again, using her telekinesis to discard the twigs and branches to the ground. ]

I do. Just follow me.

[ It would be best to leave soon. It's getting colder, and it would be dangerous for him to be alone and without food or shelter. ]

[happiestberry]

[ She sticks out her tongue. ]

At least I didn't say that you're better without them on!

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Oh, thank god. [He falls into step behind her, ignoring the niggling feeling that he's trusting her too soon. She's a mutant on the run, and she knows how to find shelter - he's not likely to be turned in, and it's better than sleeping out in the snow for another night.

He lets out a little groan when the cabin comes into view and he realizes just how close he was when he gave up. Still, it feels a million miles away when his limbs are heavy and aching from the cold and his stomach is painfully empty. Setting his jaw in a grim line, he keeps trudging along until they finally reach the front porch.]

[passive]

[Bethany inches a little closer, curling her free arm around his waist and glancing past him, at the window.]

You know, I think I rather like the snow and the cold now. [It brought them here, after all, and this is a pretty good place to be.]

[issuesdrawn]

[ As they walk in silence, she contemplates her options. She won't abandon him, but she can't stay with him for too long either. Does he have family or friends nearby?

When they arrive, she climbs up the steps to open the front door, holding it for him. ]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[He steps inside, immediately shedding his wet jacket and shoes (not winter gear in any sense of the word) and dropping his backpack. Then he heads for the fireplace, making good on his word and starting up a good-sized fire with the help of his ever-present lighter. It'll take a bit of concentration to keep it going at a steady level without fuel, but that firewood was all soaking wet and would have made a smoke trap of the cabin - if it burned at all.

Finally, he picks up his backpack again and heads for one of the bedrooms. He's got one spare change of clothes, and he doesn't feel like waiting for these ones to dry.]

Just getting changed. I'll be right back.

[necromancies]

M-me being on t-top of you. [She repeats the words, suddenly realizing that yeah, she is on top of him. Her face grows bright red and heats up, despite the weather.

She doesn't move though.]

[kingsown]

[ It didn't matter much to Jack if anyone here knew his identity. He wasn't trying to hide it, but he didn't expect people to treat him any differently. It wouldn't be good for the night life if everyone was expected to genuflect in his presence. For the time being, all he cared about was getting the increasing chill off.

His trousers were soaked through to the knee from walking in the snow and the cold clung to him, endeavouring to burrow deep to his very bones. Shuffling toward the fireplace, Jack paused, nodding to an empty chair beside it. ]

Is that taken?

YOLO

[liquidate]

C-C'mon, Sasuke, you wanna turn into some b-b-bitter flavoured mansicle? Lemme up! [ He's trying to clamber over the other's knees now. ]

[andmirrors]

[But see, now you're expecting it. What good would expecting it do you?

Cross blows a smoke ring into the air and watches it dissipate with an almost-sort-of-fondness...]

It did.

[... before his gaze sweeps sideways so as to peer at Allen from behind the frame of his glasses.]

I do hope you have only gone deaf, rather than deaf and dumb, and know what this means.

[Here. He'll give you a hint.

-- his gaze swivels back to the pile of luggage that is quickly starting to pile with snow.]

[wolfs]

[He sees her blush, and okay, he's feeling sort of awkward himself. But he doesn't leave either, eyes drinking in the sight of her. One hand reaches up, the back of his fingers brushing the red in her cheeks] We can...move. If you want. [The snow is starting to soak in through his clothes, actually, but he doesn't care]

[imhome]

[ Her smile brightens from gratitude when he starts the fire. ]

Thanks.

And take your time.

[ She turns her attention to the small kitchen area, where she shrugs the heavy backpack off of her shoulders. Inside is some food -- a few sandwiches that are already prepared -- and four bottles of water. Not much, but enough until it stops snowing. She places them on a table before heading over to the fireplace and warming her hands. ]

sobbing

[eyeforaneye]

Stop making up w-weird words, you... [ Whatever insult was to follow fades in light of Suigetsu's new mission to use him as a giant pillow. Fuck his life. ]

Che! ... You're going shopping for a coat after this. [ Also he's seriously just going to glower up at him. And hopefully make him as uncomfortable as possible throughout this. ]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[A few minutes later, he comes out in track pants and a sweatshirt, running a hand through his damp hair and speaking to the cabin at large since he's not sure where she is.]

There are actual beds in those rooms. Made beds. Fuck, I haven't slept in a bed in -

[He stops dead in the kitchen, staring at the food with wide, needy eyes. He doesn't know if she's offering it, but he's so hungry that he doesn't really care. He just swallows heavily, staring at the sandwiches as though they were made of solid gold.]

[gandere]

[ Pointing, she can't help but laugh when she sees the white flecks of snow strain his face. ]

Haaaah, now your face matches your hair! It's cute!

[ Rin doesn't realize the things she's saying as her fingers numbly pack another snowball in her palm, ready to defend herself should he retaliate. ]

[imhome]

[ Worry washes over her, but she manages to offer a sad smile. ]

Feel free to help yourself. I'm afraid I'm not much of a cook, but they should be edible. [ A laugh. ]

[liquidate]

[ Sitting in his lap, knees on the bench, Suigetsu snakes his arms under Sasuke's, clutching his body tightly to his own. He could feel the other's heart beat like this. It's calming. And warm. ]

... ] I don't wanna go, I hate shopping... you'll come with me? We can go to House of Knives -- I hear they have cool daggers and stuff. [ He's smiling broadly. Auto-defense against Sasuke glares. ]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Are you kidding me? [He laughs hoarsely, shooting her a disbelieving look.] Even if you could screw up a sandwich, the main ingredient would have to be dog shit before I'd think twice. And even then I make no guarantees.

[That's a thank you, by the way. He tears into one of the sandwiches, inhaling it in seconds flat before stopping to take a breath. With food in his stomach, some of the pallor leaves his face and he doesn't look quite so sickly, but it's still obvious from the state of his clothes and body that he's been living rough for awhile.]

You better hurry up and grab yours, or I'll eat all of these. [And that's a compliment. He's really warming to you, Nina.]

[eternallybored]

[ She gives him a coy smile, tucking her hands into her long sleeves. ] My, but it seems as if I have encountered yet another plebeian who would rather wander aimlessly in the cold.

[eyeforaneye]

[ fffff--

Sasuke turns his head to the side, suddenly, avoiding eye contact and letting out an irritated huff of a sigh. His cheeks are pink from the cold, naturally. It isn't as if this is in any way embarrassing. ]

I shouldn't have to give you an incentive... not if I'm already g-giving you my time. If we stop there, make it quick.
