Prompts

1. SNOW BLIND - It's snowing, a lot, and pristine landscape though it might create, it also brings plenty of problems, especially when you live in an Edwardian-style village with a serious lack of snow shovels. It's currently blizzard conditions and visibility is nil — Maybe you gave in and ducked into the nearest house for temporary shelter, and discover someone else had the same idea (or just lives there, oops). Maybe you're stubborn enough to still be out in it, struggling against the wind and snow. Or maybe you've tromped into the South Village Inn like a human popsicle, and are just hoping you don't lose any fingers before you make it to the fireplace.


2. JUMPED-UP - Winter's here, which means it's the perfect time for an expedition to warmer, southern climes. You've joined a group following the river all the way down to the far southern beach, for fun and for science. On this latest break in your journey, you've spotted a large, jewel-colored feather and picked it up, maybe as a specimen to bring back or just a feather for your cap. Turns out it's an archaeopteryx feather, and you're now, well... let's call it a little gravity-challenged. Not a bad benefit once you figure out how to control it.


3. COLD CALL - The snow has slacked off, leaving behind a winter wonderland. Sure, there's plenty to do, but after being cooped up inside for days, most people won't blame you for a morale-booster — That is, unless your way of starting a snowball fight is to pop up and throw them at unsuspecting passers-by. Making a snow man or snow angels might come with a little less retribution, but you do you.


4. WILDCARD - Choose your own adventure. Maybe play powers roulette.

[digging]

I'd feel bad if he hadn't earned it.

And no, see, the guilt powers the manpain, which powers the rage.

[clouded_heart]

I'd feel bad, but I know better.

And the rage powers the guilt. Perfect vicious circle.

[digging]

I think we cracked the code.

[clouded_heart]

The real question is: Will enough hugs defuse his rage and man pain?

[digging]

Back home, I don't know if I would bet on it. Here, I think there just might be a chance.

[clouded_heart]

How did we end up caring about such a wonderful idiot?

[digging]

It's a mystery for the ages.

That's his actual superpower. The Matt Murdock Charm Offensive.

[clouded_heart]

That would explain so much. So incredibly much.

It's not our fault. Super power whammied. I'm taking that to court.

[digging]

What exactly are we suing for?

[clouded_heart]

I didn't say sue. I said take to court. We might need a good defence and we can't both marry him for spousal privilege.

[digging]

Well I'm definitely not marrying him, so that'll have to be you.

[clouded_heart]

Don't think we didn't consider it in college for the tax advantages and better rooming, but you know what he's like, all 'you'll have to stop with the girlfriends and boyfriends, Foggy' and 'You're never getting a divorce, Catholics don't believe in divorce'.

[digging]

He'd make you convert. You have to take classes and everything. Presumably about optimizing all the guilt you'll now be carrying.

[clouded_heart]

It's really hard to convert a non-believer. I am also truly terrible with guilt. I honed not feeling guilty on my brother years ago.

No, it's no good. You'll have to marry him.

[digging]

I thought you liked Matt staying alive. Because if I was married to him, I'd definitely kill him.

[clouded_heart]

There are times I reconsider that desire to keep him alive...

Fine, I'll marry him for spousal privilege. But he's going to have to stop gallivanting.

[digging]

Oh no, not the gallivanting. You know he loves to gallivant.

[clouded_heart]

Just how it is, Karen, gallivanting will have to end if we're making honest men of each other.

[digging]

You're setting yourself up for some very intense brooding sessions, I hope you understand that.

[clouded_heart]

I've been dealing with brooding sessions for years. I might as well get the tax benefits of marriage along with the cleaning him up, living with the brooding and dragging him off rooftops.

[digging]

That's true. Maybe look into common law?

[clouded_heart]

Will require proof of cohabitation and while I seemed to spend half my life at Matt's, it's not actually where I live. My place, I get to sleep in a bed.

[digging]

Yeah but all that time dealing with him has to count for SOMETHING, surely.

[clouded_heart]

Legally? Probably not. Morally and karmically? I sure hope so.
