[GP] SNOW DAY
Thor and Loki got an early start, because there was a lot to do. Almost two weeks to the day since their first small-but-successful experiment with snow, Loki was confident that he'd improved enough for a bigger experiment. Still snow, because Thor wanted it and it did seem like a decent way to try something big-ish without causing Loki unnecessary grief with the other residents. (It was an arrival day, so there would perhaps be some grief with any new arrivals, but that was entirely acceptable.)
It was before dawn when they went out into the grounds. Thor called up clouds and loaded them with water so they hung low and heavy, covering the sky so that the sun, when it rose, wouldn't ruin the event. Loki took his frost giant shape and staff (now very familiar to his hand) and concentrated on dropping the temperature. Just around the Inn and grounds, but that was enough to be serious effort.
When the snow first started, the flakes were big and wet, and melted as soon as they hit the ground, which was still on the warm side. As they melted, they cooled the ground. After an hour or so, the flakes were smaller and more powdery - real snow, not glorified slush - and they were starting to stick to the ground.
By mid-morning, the Inn and grounds were covered with a thick layer of snow, and it continued to fall.
***
Meanwhile, indoors and inspired by the snow, Hurley and Xavin decided to try and make cookies. Cooking together was fun, since neither of them exactly knew what they were doing apart from 'follow the recipe', but since the point was 'try to make cookies' they ended up with a lot of cookies. Sugar cookies, gingerbread, all kinds.
There was no way they'd be able to eat all of them.
Instead, they loaded them onto trays and hauled them to the cafe, then brought out various frostings and candies for decorating. This had been completely intentional. Completely.

Loki - OTA
Bit by bit the load was becoming easier to manage, though, which in turn meant he minded being blue in public less than he might have otherwise.
Re: Loki - OTA
"Do we have you to thank for today's more seasonable weather?," she asked, when on her way to the forge she came across Loki looking bluer than usual, and not in the somber scowly way Thor had once described him.
Re: Loki - OTA
Re: Loki - OTA
"Last year Pike gave us all a snowy day as a Winter's Crest present. I'd been thinking we wouldn't get similar this year, now she's gone. On the other hand, I wouldn't have to resort to my armor for warm clothing. The flip side to every coin."

Loki and Liz
"I thought you might be thirsty." She held out the cup to him tentatively.
Re: Loki and Liz
Re: Loki and Liz
Liz paused, a little embarrassed, but the scientist in her meant that her mind began to figure out exactly what he meant. Her brow furrowed a little. "Are you saying you're cold to the touch?" Was that why his skin was blue?

Loki and Bo
Re: Loki and Bo
Re: Loki and Bo
Bo's interest was piqued. She reached out to touch him and almost instantly felt the cold. It wasn't just cold, it was the sort of cold you knew you couldn't survive for very long in without dying. She pulled back her hand - that was new from him. She shouldn't have been as surprised as she was since Bo was sure she hadn't even begun to scratch the surface of what Loki was capable of.
"Well... that's one way to get a girl's attention." It was a bit of a double entendre which might be easy to catch - since Bo wasn't a bra wearer, the cold had caused her nipples to harden against the fabric of her shirt.

Annie | Loki
Annie was wearing a hoodie, but that hoodie was covered in snow. Annie had gotten into a snowball fight.
Re: Annie | Loki
Re: Annie | Loki
"I think it's neat." She answered, smiling. "And even cooler that you're cold. Sometimes I wish I can change the way I look with my powers."

Clarice & Loki
When she saw Loki, her eyebrow arched. Blue? Nice.
"Hey." Clarice greeted him,then smirked. "Nice color though the cool kids are magenta." Her fingertips touched the markings over her eyes.
Re: Clarice & Loki
Re: Clarice & Loki
"Good come back." Clarice said with humor and approval, then teased, "why Loki, are you saying I'm hot?"

Loki & Val
"I'm proud, honestly."
Re: Loki & Val
The runes were glowing faintly blue-white, evidence of being in use, but it was light enough in the day that they weren't too noticeable. As for pride, "And yes. Nagging is one of my brother's little known powers. Worth some pride, when it isn't amazingly annoying." He was well aware that wasn't what Valkyrie had meant.
Re: Loki & Val
"Merry Christmas." She recited, placing an improper amount of emphasis on the 'mas' part.

Bucky
"This your gift?"
Re: Bucky
Re: Bucky
He was teasing. Mostly.
Bucky picked up a handful of snow and slowly shaped it into a snowball. "Come on. Doesn't it feel good to do something nice for everyone here? Look! People are having fun."
