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.

Demons, you say?

Would they happen to have any names?

[unraisehell]

Iiiif we're talking demons, that's getting close enough to family talk to warrant having it face to face, provided you can keep your little devil in your pants.

[sonofthedawn]

You've got demons in the family, too? I definitely think we need to get a drink together.

I can promise that the perfectly adequate sized devil downstairs will stay put, but I can't say the same for the devil, generally.

[unraisehell]

It's really more like adjacent to than in, really.

I'll be at the inn in ten, and if we're drinking on your tab I'll answer all the questions you want, provided you're willing to do the same.

[sonofthedawn]

To be fair, mine are mostly adjacent as well. It's all angels in my branches, much as they behave like mongrels most times.

If you're providing the liquor, I will be there with all my devil bits.
