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.

Theta would ask North if she didn't understand the first time, should they phrase it differently? His twin would snark her for ignoring him the first time he spoke. North just spared a polite smile while he sipped his tea and resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

"Yeah, back on my home colony," he repeated with a tone that said he was telling her this for the first time, clearly. "Pretty cold, winter was rather long. Pretty much had to expect blizzards as a fact of life. Got to learn how to use snowshoes one year."

oh oops XD sorry about that

Once 7 hears him, she realizes he's already given her the information. She stiffens slightly, but he's given her the grace of not calling it out so she'll continue in that vein.

"Snowshoes? They're not ... shoes made out of snow, are they?" She couldn't imagine how that would even work. "I guess I'll have to get used to it, if it's not going anywhere."

nah, North needs that potential to resist being an ass.

Funny enough, that isn't the first time North's had that particular question asked of him. In fact, he chuckles and shakes his head. Like Wash in that sort of way.

"They're shoes made of wood and leather or cord to allow you to walk on top of snow, rather than through it. But yeah, you're going to be in this snow for a bit."

No doubt they will need to dig out to some degree. Unless they have said shoes.
