bakerstreet | snow is nice

❄ it's quiet
and the snow's beautiful tonight

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.

[ It's not what Benedict might call an "ideal time" for a walk, but there is something charming about it. With night coming up on the city and the snow falling softly but steadily, the streets are practically empty save for the odd carriage or person hurrying to their destination. But Benedict feels in no rush to get anywhere in particular, finding himself enchanted by the way the street lamps illuminate the snow.

Not to mention, his coat is rather well made and his company isn't all that terrible, either. ]

It's a shame it has to be so damned cold.

[ It's really the worst part about snow, well, that and the inevitable ice that pops up everywhere. In the moment, though, the cool air is welcome. The party they'd left had ended up feeling overwhelmingly stuffy. ]

[ Voice-testing and m/m for shipping.

Oh, and please indicate if encountering his politician persona (Ainosuke) otherwise I am assuming they're running into his skateboarding one (ADAM). ]

[ Ainosuke had been one of the best things in his life. For some reason, he couldn't peel his eyes off of him. It's almost like he was caught on every breath and word that the other teen uttered. Maybe he should have mentioned this outing to his other close friend, but there was a selfish part of him that wanted to keep Ainosuke to himself from time to time.

Either way, he found himself out in weather that wasn't appropriate for skateboarding and he wasn't sure if he could get him to agree coming out with him. It's possible they could find a few places that hadn't been touched by the heavy downfall, but if he was honest, it wasn't just their skateboarding that drew him to Ainosuke and occasionally he wanted... more than just that.

He gently tugs his scarf up further over his face, staring up at the darkened sky, waiting with hope that he wouldn't be left out here for hours without company. How long was he willing to wait? That's a question that probably shouldn't be asked or answered. ]

[She is, fortunately, dressed for the weather, with snowflakes getting caught in the grey fur collar of her coat as she continues taking the road towards the village and the inn with its promise of a fire and warm bath.]

Do tell me you’re not out here hunting abominable snowmen.
