Aihsohlow | Phorezton | Markutte | Countryside
The countryside is layered with snow that is up to four meters deep, all fallen within the past two months as a cold season falls upon the country. There are numerous roads in between towns and small, domed minesteads and each road is oddly clear of snow and ice. Closer inspection reveals that the surfaces are heated by some technology buried beneath the black surfaces. Occasional construction crews can be seen tearing up or laying down new surfacing over a web of thick, coated wires that presumably provide the heat. Snow is often found sculpted near crossroads, taking artistic shape in anything from beautifully arched sculptures to recreations of local fauna.
Wildlife can be spotted here and there, with a large herd of antlered beasts making their way across the snowy grounds. Webbing between their toes (yes, toes) allows each of the large, white animals to traverse upon the snow-tops with barely a print left in their wake. Hunting parties can be seen chasing after the fringes of this herd while wearing some sort of hovering harness and it is evident that the beasts are a primary source of meat for the people. Birds flit back and forth, a few predatory mammals can be spied at the edges of the icebound forests, and there are a variety of serpentine pets kept by residents fortunate to live in the warmer domed towns.
Speaking of towns, the three within the barrier's reach are spaced roughly twenty kilometres away from one another, forming a triangle of commerce that sustains each. Aihsohlow represents the southernmost town, Phorezton the northernmost, and Markutte the northeastern one. There are a variety of small minesteads in between that would greet travellers, but only reluctantly allow them into their homes. Stories abound of troubles outside the domes and they are not apt to invite said troubles inside.

ROADWAYS
Calypso | OTA
It was nice to just lose herself in her thoughts and not have to worry about too many people being around. And hopefully it would be a nice break from how much she was growing to despise her time around the city.]
no subject
He sees Calypso before she sees him, and just sort of...freezes. Unhappily, he has to admit that it's not guilt or relief that surges through him when he sees her, but that same anger as the first time. He screws his eyes shut, clenches his fists in an effort to get a hold of himself.
He blames her. Not for everything, but for the small part she did play, he blames her. But he doesn't want things to be terrible, and he doesn't want to hurt her. And there is that mountain of guilt crushnig his chest, the part of him that knows he wasn't good enough, that he should have been better for her. At the end of the day, it really is his fault.
So he breathes out slowly, and lets his fists uncurl, stepping into her line of sight] Calypso. [a beat passes. He rubs the back of his neck] Hi.
no subject
When Percy steps into her line of sigh, her eyes widen and she freezes in place. This is exactly what she wanted to avoid. Letting out a breath of cold air, his name is hardly on her lips before she's turning and walking the other way.]
I'll let you be, Percy Jackson.
[Definitely still in flight mode.]

Then again, plenty of things aren't sitting well with him here. He thought he wouldn't need friends, and he does. He misses the people that knew him, could understand him. Mostly, he misses his brother, misses Emma and whatever was going on between them.
There's a hollow feeling in Jonah that he knows all too well.
He spots Calypso during one of his self-pitying thoughts. A familiar face is good.]
Hey. How do you like the outside world so far?

[She thinks about retreating, maybe coming back invisibly. There's a good number of people around, though, and she doesn't want to disappear on Percy, so maybe later -]
[Annabeth sort of freezes when one of the aforementioned travelers suddenly looks a lot less local and a lot more familiar. She doesn't call out, even debates ducking aside and pretending she never saw Calypso, but that's stupid. She's not that person. She was the one who knew speaking with the other girl had to happen, just not that day.]
[So when Calypso's finally close enough and their paths intersect, Annabeth just sort of... awkwardly nods her head in greeting, with a somewhat forced smile. Anything she's feeling is wiped clean from her face, which morphs into something politely neutral.]

Though it might be rude to approach, as a single gentleman, he found the cause ought-weighed the consequence of manners!
Clearing his throat with a hem, he greeted,]

Okay, whatever. Leo's probably going to fare way better if he just decides to mind his own business and try not to set himself on fire again.
But oh man, look at these roads, they're so cool. Er, warm. He's staring at the black surface beneath his feet, trying to calculate the amount of energy to produce the appropriate, balanced heat, when he collides into someone.
A little irritated at being distracted from his calculations, he raises his eyes to the stranger and snaps, a little hypocritically,]
Hey! Watch where you're—
[And then he pauses, because oh. Her again. Calypso confuses him in a way that he finds her weirdness slightly annoying but endearing at the same time. He stares dumbly for a few moments before shaking his head vigorously to get himself together.]
Oh, it's you again. Hey uh, sorry about that.

At a distance, her craft could be mistaken for a small, utterly silent airplane. Up close, it's easy to see that it's made of countless sheets of laminated paper- and innumerable, symbols, all moving over the surface.
Wait, did the eyes painted on the front just move?]

Closed to Barnaby
Thanking the merchant, the older man returned to Barnaby, one arm extended with the steaming candied fruit. "Want one?" he asked, waiting for his partner to try it. He took a nibble of his. It was pretty good! It had the taste of a sweet potato and he was suddenly a little homesick for winters in Oriental Town. Stern Bild's weren't bad, but they didn't have the rural landscape that made a pretty backdrop for snow.

"I almost expected it to be overly sweet," he admitted once he'd reached his verdict. "It's not bad, though." Looking at Kotetsu, he gave him a rare, quiet smile. "Thank you."

Sabriel | open
At the moment, she was at one of the crossroads, admiring some of the nearby snow-art.]
Re: Sabriel | open
And, since he was flying around, using his powers, he could get all the help he could get.]
Sabriel! {Billy smiled, coming up to her.] I was wondering if I'd see you around here. It's pretty nice, isn't it?

closed to joly!
And he had been doing so well, even. He's done an exceptional task at keeping himself alert, catching himself just in time whenever his thoughts begin drift off into the land of daydreams. He even manages to acquire some dried fish along the way for his Harvest Haul gifts. And then Cosette happens into his mind, and he wonders whether she would have enjoyed herself in this continent. The snow is beautiful, after all, sparkling underneath the soft, mild sun-rays, and the trinkets and parties will surely amuse her.
And then he abruptly finds himself in the middle of a black road, his surroundings having transformed completely. He whirls around with worried brow, looking as if he's just snapped out of a trance.
NO SERIOUSLY WHERE IS HE SOMEONE HELP. DDD'8]

It is on his way to the town nearest to his feet that he spots, ahead, a sitting goose!
Smile breaching his lips, he was careful with his cane, to speed up just a tic, without slipping on any unfortunate patches of ice.]
Why, Marius! Out taking your groceries for a walk. They have ice boxes for that, you know!
[Quipped, really seeing nothing the matter, so far.
After all, Pontmercy generally looked about that lost and bemused.]

His feet were getting sore, and he was in no particular hurry to be anywhere. Armin stopped at the side of the road where a vendor was selling hot drinks and purchased one for himself. It was sweet and savory, and a bit bitter, and perhaps a just a slight bit alcoholic. But it did well to warm him up. He sat down, and admired the view, pristine, white, and endless.
Bryn; closed to DCU!Dick Grayson;
Bryn has extended family out in those desert areas, and more in the northern rolling hills of farmland. It's beautiful and lush and it is everything she is used to. Not this snow and cold weather.
She doesn't want to be outside any more than she has to, but her golem (still unnamed) tends to get a bit restless if they don't do things. It's not that it has energy to expend, but that it simply gets bored otherwise. So, after riding it down the roads between the port town and Markutte, she stops midway, finds a nearby branch, and starts playing fetch with the cat. Sure, it's a cat at heart. Yes, it's as big as a pony. But she plays fetch with it and the lynx seems to like that.]
Re: Bryn; closed to DCU!Dick Grayson;
And boy, was he doing stuff. Dick was loving this place, if only for the snow. When he was younger, and traveling in the circus with his family, the circus always traveled to warmer climates in the colder months. He had spent many a Christmas down in Florida, where you didn't need to wear a heavy coat for anything.
But it snowed every winter in Gotham, so he had gotten used to it by now. That didn't mean, however, that the magic of it all was lost on him. Which was why he was trudging out into the countryside, once again.
To do whatever. Maybe this time he'd make some snow angels. His plans were changed, however, when a stick fell into the middle of his path. And then a giant cat was coming to him.]
Shit! [Quick backpedal, quick, you're about to be run over!]

If you're walking along certain roads, there'll be a snow sculpture or two in the far off distance. Squint, because it might not be a snow sculpture at all. It might be a grown ass man rolling up snowman heads (at least that's what it looks like but why are the heads on the ground).
Jason takes a pause to reflect on his fine work, but mostly to huff hot air into his hands and defrost them a bit.]
Re: open
When he spies someone working on one, he changes course and veers towards them, stopping with a twenty foot long slide that kicks up a huge wave of snow. He's expecting a native that he can pepper with questions. What are these for? How long have you practiced? That one twenty clicks west - what is it? I can't tell.
So he's disappointed to see that it's another foreigner.]
Oh. You're human.

He's carrying a bag over one shoulder, the days finds at the auction house, one of which was a surprise. Pleasant, unlike seeing Inara wearing his mother's necklace. A large thermos Bruce recognized, filled with his favourite of Alfred's teas. There are other things as well, books, odds and ends, things an eccentric billionaire could be talked into purchasing though he has no real need of it. When he sees Jason, his fingers tighten on the bag and his footsteps become soundless in the snow.
He stops a short distance behind him - neither his shadow nor the wind direction should have given him away yet - and simply. Stands there. He's not certain as to Jason's purpose in whatever it is he's doing, but it seems like such an innocuous thing if one ignores the subject matter. And the nature of that subject matter does make his mouth tighten in a frown that's altogether uncharacteristic of little Brucie Wayne.
A moment longer, and then he takes his own gloves off - slowly, his hands have been broken too many times to be a joy in this cold - and he clears his throat.]
Jason.
