Happy Holidays (it's not a Witch holiday but it'll do); openish

Who: Beatrice and friends; this may even include you!
What: December things!
When:Through the month of December.
Where: Around Trench and elsewhere
Notes: One (open) prompt to start. Will add closed starters as we get to 'em.

i. Snow Fight or snow flight!

Beatrice is absolutely enthralled by the cold December weather and the ongoing snow, at least to start with. She's never really enjoyed much snow where she lives--more sleet and ice, when it did get that cold in the winter than anything like proper snow. As the first week of December goes on, however and the effects of the month's strange magics begin to work on her, she finds herself spending more time outside of her home, her whole being buzzing with excess energy. She's practically bouncing off the walls at home and the urge to get out and do something is too great for her to ignore.

With the increasing urge she has to bleed off excess energy, the great and terrible Golden Witch is in an impish mood. If you're walking down the street near Sanctuary or anywhere within the bounds of Trench, you might well be the victim of a snowy prank! Beatrice is practically flying, floating in the air with her heavy winter-weight skirts fluttering around her and a heavy coat on--and she'll use this ability to simply drop a double handful of snow right onto anyone unfortunate enough to draw her attention. The attack, such as it is, is accompanied by her trademark high-pitched cackle of glee.

At least she's not killing anyone, right?

Oh. Yeah, I. Guess that's fair?

[ a nervous little laugh... though it's just the general nerves of an anxious boy, none reserved for beatrice especially. the truth of the matter is, even though he should be terrified of her - her bullying, her cackle, her dark magics - he feels more drawn to her than anything. like she's a kindred spirit, as weird as it sounds.

maybe that's just because they're both the same time of bad. who knows?

I, um. Didn't really have anywhere in mind. [ he reaches to his back, trying to fan some of the ice out from his back. ] I just... Kind of needed to step away, I guess? So I wouldn't bother people. You know.

Um. Well. I'm... bothering you right now, aren't I?

[ it's a stupid thing to say to a witch with endless magical power and he knows it. but it's not going to stop him from saying it. she did ask, after all - and tiptoeing around it would just make more problems down the line. he thinks. ]

I don't think this is a confidence thing, though? I'm pretty sure it's just. An observation.

No? I mean, not really, at least. [ a beat, as he puts his thoughts together. ] Like... You're bullying me, a little? But it's not like real bullying. It's the kind of bullying you do when you have a friend, or maybe an acquaintance, and they're kind of lame but you don't really hate them? Bullying like Neptune did, I guess.

[ she touches down, and he...

...studiously avoids her gaze, looking down and away.
]

I mean. That part's sort of objective, is the thing? Like. Every group already has two, here, and they're all... Perfect, I guess. Made for each other. [ he shrugs, somewhere between noncommittal and pained. ] I just sort of fit in as a third wheel. And I mean, it's nice that people let me stick around? Don't get me wrong. I'm really, really grateful for that. But I guess it would be nice to just... I don't know. Actually be wanted?

[ ...that was a lot, wasn't it. ]

That was a lot, wasn't it. [ he clears his throat. ] Um. Sorry? About that?
