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.

[ That just makes her laugh harder. So much harder. And she's good at avoiding feet, Teddy! ]

[ Though, after a little bit, she might hop on one of his from behind a snow drift, and try to tickle him above the edge of his shoe. ]

[At first it feels like his ankle has an itch, but soon enough he recognizes the tickling for what it is. He looks down and catches a glimpse of yellow near the top of his shoe.]

S-stop that! [He wiggles his foot, but not hard enough to knock her off, as he fights off laughter.]

[ Cassie laughs again, then flops back on top of his shoe (yes, holding on) as though it's a comfortable bed. ]

Fiiine.

Hey, Teddy!
hulkintraining: ([hulkling] the happy moments)

[personal profile] hulkintraining 2013-12-22 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
[He recovers from his suppressed laughing and looks down at her with a stern expression...that lasts all of thirty seconds.]

What, Cassie?
werethatgood: (Smile)

[personal profile] werethatgood 2013-12-30 10:43 am (UTC)(link)
Whatchoo doin' up there?

[ Nope. Today's a day for fun. If something happens, they'll deal with it, but nothing but fun until they have to. Nyatch. ]
hulkintraining: ([hulkling] relief)

[personal profile] hulkintraining 2014-01-03 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Trying to get rid of an itch!

[He laughs and gives his foot one more shake before collapsing on the ground, careful to extend the foot Cassie was on out of the way.]

[personal profile] werethatgood 2014-01-06 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Cassie laughs. And, hey, she's flexible. She flips off of his shoe and onto the snow, and then sizes up, ending up cross-legged beside Teddy. ]

Must be a scary itch.

[ And she makes. Frightening fingers at him. Just because why not be silly, just for a little bit? ]

[personal profile] hulkintraining 2014-01-07 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
[He tries to make the expected look of fear but just ends up laughing instead.]

A terrifying itch. One that's hard to get rid of.
werethatgood: (Smile)

[personal profile] werethatgood 2014-01-09 10:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ All the laughter! ]

Well, there's always the chance that the itch'll change to a tickle...

[ Because that's way better than touching on the hard-to-get-rid-of part. Not for right now. ]
hulkintraining: ([hulkling] smile)

[personal profile] hulkintraining 2014-01-12 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Oh no your don't! [He waves a finger at her.] Don't even think about it!
werethatgood: (Smile)

[personal profile] werethatgood 2014-01-12 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
But, are you sure? Just a little bit?

[ She wiggles her fingers a bit, then drops her hands obediently... ]




[ Only to grab some snow, not even bothering to pack it into a ball, and fluff-throw it at his face. ]

[It's a direct hit that leaves Teddy hastily wiping the frosty snow from his face. It's not like he'll catch a cold or something, but it's still freezing.

He grabs a handful of snow in retaliation and throws it at her.]

[ Cassie sputters, as snow came into her mouth in the middle of a laugh, and almost chokes giggling. ]

We'd have to go way outside New York to find snow with which this wouldn't be a health hazard...

[ Is she distracting him for another handful of snow? Maybe? ]
hulkintraining: ([hulkling] and everything will be okay)

[personal profile] hulkintraining 2014-01-20 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[He laughs when she catches some snow in her mouth.]

Yeah that's why I try to catch snow on my tongue before it gets close to the ground. Once it hits it might as well be toxic.

[He might not look like he is, but he's paying close attention to her hands.]
werethatgood: (Smile)

[personal profile] werethatgood 2014-01-26 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That's because he's smart. Though, for a moment, she's too distracted by memories, grinning. ]

Hey. You remember the first time you did that? Catch snowflakes, I mean. I remember that I was told to do it, and it totally made so much sense that I didn't even wonder about it.

[personal profile] hulkintraining 2014-02-03 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
I sort of remember? I was really young, but I remember walking down the street, holding my mom's hand. All of a sudden she stopped and tilted her head back and stuck out her tongue. I thought it was silly at first, but then she asked me to do the same.

[He shrugs.] I think when you're a young kid everything makes so much sense because you never question anything.
werethatgood: (Smile)

[personal profile] werethatgood 2014-02-12 12:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, pretty much. Though I was with other kids, and they just started running around with their tongues stuck out, so I thought it must be, well. Really awesome, you know?

[ She squints up at the sky, but, well, it's not snowing, right now. ]

And it is. But if you try to explain it to somebody who's never been in a place where it's snowed...

[ Like Aya. ]

That'd be really weird, right?
hulkintraining: ([hulkling] smile)

[personal profile] hulkintraining 2014-02-16 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it would. Like, I can't even imagine having a winter where it doesn't snow. But there are places where that happens. It's just not...familiar. Doesn't feel like home.

[He's also looking up at the space. He would look like he's spacing out if he didn't move all of a sudden, pushing himself to his feet.]

Hey...you want to go for a ride?
werethatgood: (Intent)

[personal profile] werethatgood 2014-03-03 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I got a taste of that in California. Weird.

[ She follows suit, standing up, but blinks for a moment, disoriented, before her face lights up. ]

Oh! You mean in the air? Yeah!
