    Back again to Winter. The warmth had been nice as it lasted, so early in February and so close to Valentine's. Usually there is snow on the ground, a white dusting at the least, but all of it had been lost with the rise in temperature the last few days. Only now a nor'easter was rushing in and with it there's a lovely flutter of snow falling from the sky. And with the chill in the air chances are it's going to stick.
    It's that threat, however, the possiblity of the storm that has Salem Center so busy. The streets are lined with people walking along to the various stores. The small town grocer is busy and their stock is already suffering. But right now, at least for himself, one young man is making a nice little island of calm amidst all the hustle and bustle.
    Piotr Rasputin; X-Man, Mutant, Artist. He has managed to find for himself a moment of peace though he is bidden to gain some supplies from the store. Likely when he comes home with not exactly what people want he'll get some grief. But in the pursuit of art... acceptable losses. For now he's sketching a little. The scrape of his pencil in the sketchpad is faint as he sits upon the edge of the frozen fountain. Occasionally he'll lean to the side to get a look at whatever it is that has his attention. And other times he'll brush some snow off the pad of paper.

Petra Emreis has posed:
Magic is a funny thing, so many people think that a sorcerer or a sorceress could simply conjure up anything they needed with a snap of their fingers: riches, comforts, anything. Truth be told? Some things were just better when they were real.

Things like bread, chocolate and...well toilet paper. With that in mind, Petra had ventured out to the Salem center with only a small snerk to the play of its name. The recent European arrival had a small bag of groceries in her arms as she walked, but inevitably the white-haired girl finds her gaze drawn to the large figure with the sketchpad. Curiousity had won out it seems!

Colossus has posed:
    To be fair he is tall. One can tell with the long legs that are stretched out to the side a bit as he /leeeeans/ over to peer into the way the ice has frozen, this curious crystalline pattern that twists near the water spigot, as if part of it was caught in mid flow and turned to ice by the wave of a wizard or... witch's wand. The strokes of his pencil are there, light and quick as he makes the general outline of it, gauging and considering.
    And all the while the grocery list remains forgotten in side his pocket.
    He lifts blue eyes away from the small spectacle of nature in miniature as some snowflakes fall upon his sketchpad. His lip twists with amusement as he looks up and across the way, and in that single instant he'll find Petra's eyes in the crowd. The smile remains and he gives that simple innocuous smile one gives to a stranger somewhere when they're out and about.
    And then it's back down to his notepad.
