And the Town of Snow (snowblindrpg AU)

[cahooted]

[He's young. He feels young, his body feels young. Well, younger, he doesn't think of himself as old because he's not but anyway, that is not the point, the point is that no, no, no, he can't be here, he doesn't have time for this. Not when the end of times is literally upon them, when Apep is about to unleash Pure Evil into the world!

Flynn dusts himself off, taking a look around the morgue and rolls his eyes so hard he's actually tilting his head back. Of all the places to be, of all the past adventures horrors to haunt him, it had to be Norfinbury. He remembers, it had happened before. People returning after having gone home for a while. Only that in his case, 'a while' spans more than a decade.

He remembers a lot of other things, too, and rubs his face erratically against the onslaught of memories that had been lost to him for over ten years. It's all a bit much, not that he'd admit it, and he does the only thing he knows when facing a situation like this.

Absolutely not dealing with it.

Instead he grabs the tablet and opens a feed, pacing impatiently.]

Alright, yes, yes, yes, I'm back, wonderful. Seriously, you people are still on this? Where are we at? How long was I gone? Who's working on what?

[It's exasperating is what it is. And irritating and they don't have time for this and the thumbs up is so ridiculous and it's so unmistakably Peter in every way that Flynn doesn't even know where to begin with it.]

What-- why would-- will you get up, who do you think you are, the Terminator?

[But his voice trails off in a breezy – is it a laugh? Maybe? Shut up. – something that has less to do with the juvenile humor at display and a lot more with a sudden wave of affection of what Peter is trying to do, the way he does it, the way he is.]

You're unbelievable.

[zunesareawesome]

Oh man, that would be really cool if I was the Terminator?

[This is still all said through muffled snow. But that lightness in Flynn's tone is good enough, so mission accomplished!

Except--]

I try to be.

But, uh...

...do you think you could lend a hand? For real though, I think I'm stuck.

[cahooted]

[A long-suffering sigh but he can't quite hide the lingering amusement in his voice.]

I'm coming, I'm coming.

[He grabs the arm sticking out of the snow, trying to brace himself against the icy ground under his feet and pulls.]

[zunesareawesome]

[And Peter tries very hard to grab his arm and yank him back down into the snow--yes, he's actually stuck, but it would be hilarious if Flynn fell down into the snow too.

He doesn't really think about the fact that if he accidentally gets Flynn stuck too they were both in big trouble.]

[cahooted]

[ARE YOU KIDDING HIM RIGHT NOW--

Flynn tries to keep his footing but all that happens is some frantic windmilling before he goes down with a white cold poofing cloud going up.

Sputtering. All the sputtering!]

What would you do that for!!

[zunesareawesome]

Because it's hilarious!

[There's a lot of laughing from behind this pile of snow, bro.]

You shoulda seen your face!

[His only regret is that he did not film it.]
