Prompts
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- WILDCARD - Choose your own adventure. Maybe play powers roulette.
Network
All characters are fitted with a smart watch-like device on their left wrist, which they can use to send text and video messages to other villagers.
- Text and/or video, any length
- Display names may be changed by characters on the fly, but anyone can tap to see someone's real full name
Please list your CHARACTER NAME, CANON & PROMPT in your SUBJECT LINE.

"See, you would be! And you can't be a pitcher without a team to back you up! Or at least one other person on an opposing team to try to hit those pitches you're throwing!" Dick called out once his snowball supply was spent, and he had to start making more.
Team sports were fun, okay? Like working with a partner. Dick was a big fan of those at times. Not all the time, but sometimes.

So he's covered in snow, but he's laughing as he wipes it out of his eyes. "I am getting drenched here, and I'm the one that started it!"
no subject
“That’s what happens when you challenge a master! But I am a merciful ruler. I’m prepared to accept your surrender.”
no subject
"You are, are you?" Dick grinned, running his fingers through his now wet hair. "So what do I owe the merciful rule in exchange for surrender? Because I am prepared to give something hot to drink in exchange for being allowed to dry out."
no subject
"And no funny business!"
no subject
"No funny business!" He even turned slowly in a circle so that she could see he wasn't going to try anything. He was tempted to hide a snowball up his sleeve kind of move, but they were still learning each other. Trust was important.
no subject
She watched the turn and nodded her approval, letting her last snowballs break on the ground and wiping her gloves off.
“Alright. You may escort me to the inn.”
no subject
But Dick was a family man. Always had been, always would be. He looked at Steph for a moment before coming over and extending his arm to her with a grin.
"Yes ma'am. I'd offer to race there for fun, but we're going to probably slip, and then one of us gets a twisted ankle and we're totally screwed."
no subject
So she let the moment slide and took hold of his arm.
"Plus you'd definitely freeze solid. On the other hand, we'd have no problem getting ice for an ankle sprain."
