[67] Of Snowmen and Snow Angels

[notarrowette]

[Hello, Barge! Cissie is out of her coma! And has escaped the infirmary and explored a bit and found the deck. She is wearing this pink snowman sweater with matching mittens. ...The mittens have made working the video function tricky, so your first shot is one of PINK COTTON and then Cissie concentrating VERY HARD. And then a grin!]I did it

[Just this face. :O forever.]

...'m not upposed to go out in the snow. [wibble] I don have my special coat.

[But oh he wants to]

[notarrowette]

Maybe you can wear lots of layers instead? Lots of t-shirts and sweaters, and maybe that would work?

[expectremorse]

...That might be a good idea!

[he rummages and then returns in a moment with-Hoffman's NYPD jacket. His girth's enough to make it fit-except the sleeves are too long to be normal]

[notarrowette]

...That looks pretty big. But probably warm enough?

[expectremorse]

[Hoffman is happy flopping around the sleeves] It's a policeman's jacket! Like for the REAL police!

...There's no me sized clothes except my sweater and this.

[more happy flopping]

So come up and play!!

[Pretend the icon is tiny!Jaime]

[expectremorse]

[THIS IS WHERE THE SPAM SUBJECT LINE WOULD BE]

[Hoffman's legs are pumping hard and by the time he gets to the deck he's ready to collapse but the big jacket helps. Snow. snow!]

Where are you guys!?

[beetleboyblue]

[FRANTIC WAVING WITH BOTH HANDS from a little boy in a bright red sweater with a huge blue beetle covering the front. The beetle has a puffy red santa hat on it.]

Over here! Come on! I've never seen so much snow before!

[expectremorse]

[Huff puff puff. Hoffman toddles over] It's like Central Park. [He flaps the jacket around] I like your sweater!

[beetleboyblue]

[HAPPIEST BEAMING] Thanks!

I've never been to Central Park. I'm from El Paso. We don't get snow there. We're trying to make a snowman! Want to help?

[expectremorse]

[Have a knowing, slightly superior look-completely ruined by the big floppy sleeves] You've never been? IT's only the bestest place in the whole city. [Because New York is the world]

Sure I want to. [he frowns] I don'ts gots a carrot for a nose tho..

[beetleboyblue]

[FROWN] Me either... Oh well! We'll find something else!

[expectremorse]

...Do you have a crayon?

[scrunched up face]

[beetleboyblue]

[BY SOME STRANGE COINCIDENCE, guess what he got for Christmas? He fishes in his pockets and pulls out a little yellow box of Crayolas.]

I have a box of them!

[expectremorse]

[:D]

..One of THOSE can be a nose.

[beetleboyblue]

[Inspecting the box of crayons.] I didn't think of that. It won't be too small?
