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.

Leonardo steps back as the snowball hits him and he just reaches down and starts throwing handfuls of snow in Ezio's direction. No real art to it in this sense, pure mess and fun. His fingers are going to go blue at this rate, but he laughs. "Cosa? And how am I supposed to stop you?"

Leonardo backs away from him to at least attempt to dodge any more snow, forming a much stronger snowball although it did not help his aim. "Give me a week and I might be able to come up with an invention that will bury you in snow!"

Absolutely zero of the snowballs that Leonardo attempts to send his way actually hit their target. Ezio is far too quick and limber and knows how to dodge far too well. If nothing else, his uncle would be proud that all of his training actually hadn't gone to waste.

"I do not doubt you." The words release with the soft sound of laughter, another well-aimed ball of snow being lobbed in Leonardo's direction. "But that will not help you now."
