4th Arrow [written/action-ish]

Snow sucks. I don't get why people make such a big deal out of this season. Everything looks dead and everyone's freezing their asses off the moment they step outside. Where's the fun in that?

Seriously. Fuck winter.

[Ellie's walking as she's writing this (and any replies to comments), and isn't paying much attention to the decorations. Not that she'd really know what they were all about, so she could be walking right under a bit of mistletoe without even noticing...]

[... It would help take her mind off things for a while...]

What kind of fun stuff?

[willrememberthat]

Like... snowmen! Have you made one before? Or we can stay inside and do Christmas stuff.

[threeweeksago]

Nope, never made a snowman before. Snow looked pretty gross when you're stuck in the middle of a city.

... And I have no idea what "Christmas stuff" is supposed to be.

[willrememberthat]

Gingerbread houses! Wrapping presents, decorating cookies...

I can show you. If you want.

[threeweeksago]

A... gingerbread house...?

[A whole house... made out of a cookie...?]

[willrememberthat]

Yep. With frosting and candy for decoration.

[threeweeksago]

... Sounds like something out of a weird kid's story. People seriously do that?

[She vaguely remembers reading something about a candy house in a book when she was younger, but for some reason, she doesn't remember that being a good thing...]

[willrememberthat]

Uh huh. My parents and I used to do one every year and keep it on the table for decoration.
