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.

"I'd appreciate it. I'd never hear the end of if from him," she rolled her eyes and then looked over at Luke. "That was very scary. I was afraid I'd never see you again. Or han after he decided to go out and find you which I'm glad he did." Leia's feelings were jumbled when it came to Luke and Han. They were both important to her and yes, she had told Han that she loved him and she did but she loved Luke too. It didn't feel the same though but it was no less real and that was what confused her the most.

"Hey."

Luke leaned over to nudge Leia with his shoulder. "I didn't say that to make you feel bad. I'm okay, yeah? It's all good--we're together, and we're safe." He looked around, squinting against the glare of sun on snow. "And one of these days, we'll figure out just where here is and how to get back."

[thereisanother]

She smiled at him, nodding her head. "I know you didn't. You've never been the person who tries to make someone feel bad." Some people might think he was a little too hopeful but Leia didn't mind. With the situation what it was at home, they could use all the hope they could get.

"I'm glad we're together. It makes this seem a little less weird. Still weird but not as weird."

[neverjoinyou]

"Me too," Luke said, with a grin. Which was funny, because it wasn't as if he'd known her that long. It was, perhaps, what they'd already been through together. Having someone else along who knew where he came from made everything a little more bearable.

Their time together might have been short but it had been eventful. The fact that they had even met one another at all was hard to believe. What were the chances that Artoo and Threepio would manage to land in the place that they'd been trying to reach all along or that they'd even find someone who could locate Obi-Wan Kenobi.

"We should probably get back," she said a little recluctantly. "although this is a lot of fun."

[neverjoinyou]

"True enough," Luke says, standing up and dusting himself off before offering a hand to Leia. "Honestly, I'm not really built for the cold anyway."

[thereisanother]

She took his hand and got to her feet, shaking the snow off her legs. "No you're not. Hoth must have really felt strange to you."

[neverjoinyou]

Luke chuckled to himself.

"And that was before Wampas and being visited by ghosts," he said, shrugging off her concern. "But this...?" He glanced around, smiling softly at the snow where it lined tree limbs. "This is ... nice, almost."
