WHAT Christmas in July
WHERE Every-fucking-where
WHEN Day 141 & 142

[IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR. It's . . . well, time doesn't really work well here anyway, but it's been 'a while' since the last 'festive activities' so that's what's happening, right here, right now.

It's still warm enough for shorts and t-shirts, but there's also big fat snowflakes falling from the sunny sky, making piles of it that are pleasantly cool and don't seem to melt. Skating rinks! Palm trees and cacti decorated with pretty sparkly lights! Do we even have those? We do today.

Besides that, you can do whatever you want to, to get into the #mood:

• Mistletoe? Mistletoe for kissing, for cuddling, for whatever?
  
• Mysterious gifts with your name on them that turn out to be a long-lost item from your childhood?
  
• Blankets that you get trapped under until someone joins you in there to cuddle?
  
• [insert your fun here]

[Curls up on a bench next to the skating rink and pulling a blanket up over themselves to sleepily watch skaters. Still upright, though, thanks sun for being a friend]

[Looking up at this mistletoe.]

Pretty sure it hasn't been a year...

[thismightaswellhappen]

[muttering, grumpy]

Time is an illusion. Or whatever.

[coldhand]

Seems like it is.

[thismightaswellhappen]

[looks up at the mistletoe and sighs]

I was working up to this. I don't see why parasitic plant compulsions had to be involved.

[divasterous]

Is this a yearly thing?

[oblivious]

[coldhand]

Usually it's a Christmas thing. Which explains the snow.

[divasterous]

Oh, that. I guess.

[he looks up at it. he seems . . . a little out of it today? maybe. if she's looking for subtle differences.]

[starspangledman]

[here is a super soldier trapped under a blanket, trying ineffectually to tug it off]

Is this really necessary...?

[divasterous]

I don't know about necessary, but it's pretty cute.

[starspangledman]

You think it's cute?

[What are you wearing today, Vasily?]

[divasterous]

[a yellow tank top, matching sneakers, and a pair of jean shorts. very, very short shorts.]

I like seeing you squirm. ♥

[There is a long measured consideration of the package with Erik's birth name on it. Honestly, it looks like Erik's going to walk off at one point, but he eventually shoves his protein bar in his mouth in order to crouch down and rip the wrapping paper off and peek in the box . . . Then, he shuts the lid and moves to a store front with a ledge for the front window, hiding from the snow under the awning as he takes a hefty leather book out. Erik doesn't open it, just keeps rubbing his hand over the cover.]

Baba . . .

[T'Challa creeps up slowly, but plants his footsteps deliberately into the crunchy snow so Erik hears him coming]

[aintrunning]

[difficulty level: 5000???? well ok]

[straightening up, but barely since he's still slouching, does run the back of his hand under his nose but comes away dry]

[willnotwatch]

...

May I take a look?

[morethanyou]

[approaches, dropping her usual bantering tone to something more respectful]

Did this place give a real gift for once?

[aintrunning]

[small grimace at the gift part, not comfortable with thinking of it that way, but smooths out as soon as it came]

Just returning something with a bow on top.

[morethanyou]

It belonged to your father?

[dranksforthememories]

...

[huh. plunks down beside him, not right up in his space but approximately within arm's reach]

You alright there?

[aintrunning]

[half-sigh then lets out the full breath that stutters a bit]

Yeah, I'm good. What's up?

[dontworry]

[ snnooooow...

currently trapped under a blanket because of course and nudging a little box with her name on it. ]

Every time a thing happens it's just supremely dumb huh.

[divasterous]

At least it's something, though?

[dontworry]

I'm soooo tiiiiired of somethings just let me farm my stupid mushrooms and kiss cute people.

Hi Vasily.

[selfidentitytheft]

[SOMEWHERE under this pile of blankets is a Kei.]

Hi? Hello? Help??
