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.

"Ma'am," Daniel greeted her politely, but he was pretty focused on the warm fire for a few seconds. Once he felt less like his nose was gonna fall off, he glanced at her again.

"I wasn't really expecting the snow to come up that fast."

[thereisanother]

"Neither was I," Leia replied. "I thought I'd be able to get home but it certainly fooled me. I'm grateful that I was this close to some shelter." She smiled. "I'm Leia by the way. Leia Organa." She didn't expect the name to mean anything to him but introducing herself by her full name was habit.

[ssrsousa]

"I've been in some fast-moving storms before, but it's been awhile. Guess I'm not as good at judging them as I was once," he agreed.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Organa. I'm Daniel Sousa."

[thereisanother]

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Sousa," she replied with a nod. "I spent some time recently that had snowstorms like this, it wasn't fun." It was the reason that hoth had made such a good base of operations but in the end, they had still been found. "Hopefully it will pass as quickly as it appeared."

[ssrsousa]

"It wouldn't be," he agreed. "Did you at least have somewhere warm to get out of em like this?"

The fire was warming his bones and he was starting to not feel the cold ache of his missing right toes.

[thereisanother]

"We did," she nodded. "It was a military base so there were bunkers and other buildings but there were places where it wasn't that sturday. We also had rules about no one going out after it got dark but sometimes they did anyway."

Hoth had been abandoned when they'd found it and they'd done the best they could with it. Leia was surprised that they lasted nearly three years before anyone found them.
