I have always had a fascination with things that don't last.

snow,

it melts.

fire,

it rains.

lovers,

they rot.

i dance here with a woman that has not laid her eyes on me for the entire night

i wonder if she has died.

the serenading, all consuming melody from orchestra begins to terrify me

each sound played from the violinists steady hand begins to cut and gouge

the music sharpens, and we quicken

i see something dripping from her frilled rouge dress

it hits my clean, lacquered black shoe with a splat

it smells, and I can't quite make out the color.

I dance, dance, dance

and she melts, melts, melts

her skin seems to sag, her face hollow

i lean in for a kiss,

and all that i can taste is pained sorrow.

I got a lot to get through so let's go one by "one"

in order it will be: Dexter The system (Perry, Lionson, Turtle Master, Andrew, spoilers: Persephone, Void, Maniac) Yuuki Gikai Augustus

Dexter hates driving in the snow and his Vigilante outfit doesn't provide a lot of warmth when on patrol. though he can appreciate it when in down time and warm quote: "It would be better if it did not have to be cold for it to snow.."

the system generally really like it. all for their own reasons. Perry is the only one who doesn't like it cuz it slows him down. he can't run errands without snow slowing him down. and he's not really one to stop and smell the roses. quote: "mmaann stop being cold already!! I have shit I needa do and this snow and ice is slowing me down!!" Lionson enjoys the peace that is creates, and it gets him paid more in his construction freelancing. quote: "it's real pretty. and if nothing else I get paid more when I'm doin under the table work.- wait don't tell Dexter it's under the table.." Turtle Master loves looking at the snow. just sitting and watching it makes him feel very peaceful. quote: "I'm just... gonna sit... and watch.. the snow.... Brew me some tea.. or hot cocoa.. and watch.." Andrew feels so little care for snow. he doesn't like or hate it.. he spends most of his time in his lab with no windows so he doesn't really interact there. quote: "wait is it snowing? shoot I guess I needa send Perry to get my supplies earlier today- wait it's not snowing?? then why the fuck you asking me about snow?! get outta here!" (this question was asked in July.) the rest of the system characters haven't been introduced so spoilers: Persephone loves to explore outdoors and appreciates all kinds of weather in nature because she likes to just watch as nature grows and changes around her Quote: "oh- it's pretty! people don't recognize the sort of beauty that can come from a snowy forest.. the slightly foreboding feeling is so nice to see and feel.." Void loves the snow. he loves the silence that accompanies a snowy landscape. it lets him feel like himself. quote: "huh? me? not Maniac or- oh okay.. uh.. I like it. it's quiet. makes me feel like I'm allowed to actually be myself for once. which... isn't very common." Maniac couldn't care less about snow. he'll keep on keeping on with what he's doing in that moment no matter what the weather is. though he does like pranking Andrew by getting naked in the snow then forcing him out quote: "what? why would I care?! Dex won't spar with me in the cold but Augustus or Yuuki might. there's no weather I really care about. everything kinda gives me a different challenge.. I like finding ways around those challenges... though on slow snow days I'll pull some deviousness with Drew"

Yuuki likes the snow. it's pretty and reminds her of Asuna. as well as the fact that her Spark keeps her warm well enough Quote: "oh the cold weather doesn't really bother me so I just really like how pretty it is"

Gikai's robot body computer systems are protected from the water and the cold keeps the robot bodies running longer without having to refuel as often. Quote: "I like the snow. helps keep me going for a longer time.. pretty? I mean I guess so but you can only see so many 'pretty' videos of something before being oversaturated in it, y'know?"

Augustus likes the snow as much as any weather. he uses it as a weapon to fight and when it's snowing out his non-lethal attacks are much stronger. so he appreciates that much. quote: "awe who put you up to asking me this? Dexter? Persephone?? Logan? eh whatev's, doesn't matter.... my Snow and ice abilities with my Spark are strengthened when it's snowing so I can take people down without hurting them easier.. but I don't really care much for any particular weather... 'pretty'? m8 I do not careee. it's just a part of the sky. I see snow every day when I'm flying. it's just another thing."

how does your oc feel about snow?

Tea Time

Currently working on something complex that is taking forever so in the meantime I am sharing one of my older personal illustrations exploring the cycle of guilt and escapism and how they interact with one another.
