[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.

Re: Corbie and Jack
"That I don't doubt." You didn't experience someone turning into a centaur and realize this place didn't have a special sort of set of rules. "Not from mine, though. A particularly unscrupulous part of my government would have definitely been sure to profit on that if it did." And from the sound of his voice, it probably better that magic wasn't real in his world. The NID would be all over that, the bastards.

Re: Corbie and Jack
It was times like this he really missed having Daniel around. "Doing your own thing is sometimes better than having to listen to the bigwigs who think they know what's good for people."
Re: Corbie and Jack
She squatted down to scoop up more snow. "Right now, though, important part is that Bernatha was practically in the harbor, so it didn't snow much at all. I got a lot of lost time to make up for."
Re: Corbie and Jack
He gave her a nod and did a small sweeping gesture. "Far be it from me to get between a woman and her goals."
Re: Corbie and Jack
"Good talking to you," Corbie said, before she glanced around for a new target and scampered off after them.
