Four Moons ℂ Video

[claimyourself]

[Lena's sitting near a window, watching the blizzard outside. She looks transfixed by the swirling flakes, so much so that one might think she turned on the camera by accident. But then she speaks.]

I've moved around a lot of places, but it was all in the South, so there was never much snowfall and never a blizzard like this. It looks like something out of those cheesy holiday films and tv movies.

[Her cat hops up into her lap, purring and kneeding Lena's thigh with her paws (and claws, ouch), before settling down.]

Anyone else around here come from a place with little to no snowfall? Maybe once it's over we can go run around in it. We could make snow angels. [She displays a secret smile at that, replaying a memory in her mind.] Or build a snowman.

[Charlie's inside. She has a slightly wet looking Phantom on her lap and the domesticated white fox is doing what he can to curl up under Charlie's chin. She's warm. He's not. It works for him. Charlie doesn't look as excited about the arrangement. She keeps trying to move the animal but nope. Phantom is being an ass.] I moved a lot, too. All over the 48 states. I've seen all manner of weather.

You have never seen snow like this? In Petersburg, this is not uncommon!

Really? Were you from a military family?

[She smirks.]

Snow? In Russia? You don't say!

video:

[charring]

No. [Hear that? That's the sound of someone with a lot to say and too much uncertainty as to whether or not she can just yet.] I just had to move a lot.

It does not snow all the time. For five months in the year, there is no snowfall at all.

But after Russia, I went to San Fransisco. It didn't snow a single time in the three years I was there. Where in the South did you live?

[claimyourself]

I know what that's like.

[She sounds sympathetic.]

Different neighbors, different schools. Though each time I was hoping for a fresh start.

[claimyourself]

San Francisco sounds like fun. I'd like to visit there someday.

[She shrugs.]

New Orleans, Virginia, Barbados. Before coming here I was living in South Carolina.

video; And I can't spell! Sorry!

[candothat]

Eh. The weather was pleasant, but I have missed snow. This is the first time I've seen it since I was fourteen.

Why did you move so often, if I can ask?

video; it's okay! i didn't notice. :P

[claimyourself]

My cousin and I lived with my grandmother, and she liked to travel a lot.

video:

[charring]

At least there's memories that come with this sort of thing, right?

[Not that hers are any good.]

You've really never seen snow like this?

[hexuality]

I went to school up in Scotland. No shortage of snow there. I was wondering when we'd get our summer blizzard, actually.

video; ...then pretend I didn't say anything. <_<

[candothat]

That would be pleasant, I think. Staying in place for too long--that gets boring quickly.

Do they also have powers? Your cousin and grandmother?

[mightbeconcussed]

Yeah, I live in Birmingham, Alabama. We don't get much snow there. Where did you live?

[claimyourself]

Gatlin, South Carolina right before coming here.

video; it is forgotten. :D

[claimyourself]

Yes. I mean, not-- not Ridley anymore. My cousin, she had her abilities taken away.

voice;

[claimyourself]

This happens here every summer?

[Neither are hers, really. At least not until she met her boyfriend.]

Not in person, no.

[zipperbent]

TV! I know what a TV is now. [in a not very quiet whisper] It has shown me many wonders and many horrors all at the same time.

[yup.]

Buuuut as for your question, Korra's more accustomed to snow than I am. We don't get much of it in Republic City.

video; /bows

[candothat]

I am very sorry.

[So sorry that he won't ask how or why, as much as he would like to know.]

video

[claimyourself]

[Oh, Bolin. You will never not make Lena smile.]

Yeah, TV's good like that.

Maybe Korra can suggest some fun activities we can do in the snow.

video;

[claimyourself]

Yeah. I mean, she never really used them for anything good. It was mostly just to use people. But she's been having a really hard time adjusting.

voice;

[hexuality]

Since I've been here, yeah. We'll probably get a day or two of summer around Christmas, too, just to even things out.

[zipperbent]

[Funnily enough, he's okay with that!]

I'm still trying to process what I saw. This might be a long and tedious endeavor that could possibly break my brain.

[he's serious about this, too.]

Oh, sure! She grew up surrounded by snow, so I'll wager she's got a ton of creative ideas.

[claimyourself]

I've heard of Christmas in July, so this must be one of those curses that takes it literally.
