THE SNOW DAY MEME

Comments

Sergeant Major Azure | Dragonball OC | Anyone may reply with any roll

[hornswoggling]

[Guess who's selling hot chocolate?]

6 then 3 | you look welcoming enough, so let's see what happens

[fullmtlamnesia]

*he's tried every door out of this place, checked every window, and the amount of snow out there is completely apocalyptic... so he's looking a little grumpy when he happens on you*

Isn't there any way out of here?

I'll welcome you so hard your anxiety will be crushed!

[hornswoggling]

[He watches and listens to Edward wander from door to door, window to window.]

Sure you want to go? Below fifteen degrees out there.

[It's also pretty cold inside the shop, too - furnace broke. Winter rocks.]

iyaaan not my anxiety!

[fullmtlamnesia]

*gosh it sure is cold, rubbing at his shoulder*

If I could find someplace that actually has heat. Why's it so cold in here anyway?

[hornswoggling]

Furnace broke. But dude, there is heat in here. I just got the wood stove going. I can give you hot chocolate if you want cozy pervasive warmth - I've got...

[Azure ducks under the counter and sets packets on it as he reads the names.]

Hazel, blueberry, raspberry, peppermint, orange, mint, white, dark, milk...oh hey! And ramen!

[fullmtlamnesia]

*well you've got his attention; Ed's heading toward Azure and the source of delicious warmth*

Can't feel it all the way over here. That's a lot of flavors, which one's best?

[hornswoggling]

[He stands up, thinks for a few moments.]

If I had to choose, raspberry. Raspberries and chocolate's a popular combination for a reason - the sweetness really blends, you know. Gives depth. And between you and me, this particular blends' warmth stays around longer. Want a mug?

[fullmtlamnesia]

Definitely. It sounds great!

[hornswoggling]

Excellent! I'll get this going - it'll take about five, seven minutes, maybe - the wood stove will take a while to heat up.

[fullmtlamnesia]

*he's rubbing at his shoulder again, staying as near the stove as he can get*

That's fine, it's a lot warmer over here already. What's your name, anyway? I'm Edward.

[hornswoggling]

[He fills the cup with water, etc. Now it's wait time. And the occasional stir.]

I'm Azure. Why do you keep rubbing your shoulder? Lose a fight?

[fullmtlamnesia]

*he laughs a little at that, not joyous but not quite bitter, either*

You could say that. It aches a lot when it's cold, that's all.

[hornswoggling]

[He raises his eyebrows slightly - a skeptical expression. Then the hot chocolate's done. Azure stirs it one more time before he offers it to Edward.]

[fullmtlamnesia]

*well it's not entirely a lie, at least. though when he reaches out to take the cup, it might become a bit obvious that one of his hands is not exactly like the other*

Thanks.

[hornswoggling]

[...He may've stared for a few moments, yeah.]

You're welcome. That'll be $3.10.

[fullmtlamnesia]

*he looks surprised for just a moment, before digging through his pocket and pulling out a few strange coins*

Aah? Nah, that's fair, can't expect things to be free.
