Quote: Fresh snow has fallen over Destiny City for the third time this week; most people seem to have stayed inside today due to a particularly heavy flurry, but you find yourself outside tonight for some reason. The weather has faded, revealing a sparkling night sky. Much of the ground is covered in a crisp layer of snow--but more than that, beautiful flowers in the shape of snowflakes have sprouted in the ground. They grow in small patches and permeate a pleasant, sweet fragrance. If the flowers are not kept in freezing temperatures, they melt, but for the duration of their lifespan they are beautiful, fragile things. In such a busy metropolis, isn't it nice to take a moment to take a moment and appreciate nature? Even if there does seem to be something a little magical about this? Trinity had been lounging in her room, her father having declared a "snow day" in his usually eccentric, but suave fashion. The snow have been comeing down heavy, again, and he had cancelled all oblications, decideing instead to have a pajama party. It had been delightfully strange, and even the household staff had played along. The maids and cook had always been treated more like family, and it had been delightfull to lounge in their pajamas and watch movies. They had even ordered pizza ( Much to the dismay of the pajama clad cook ) and the very brave delivery boy had been tipped more than his car was worth for his service, and given a cocoa to go in a very nice ceramic travel mug. It had been fun. It had been exhausting. Who knew doing nothing but eat, lounge about, and watch bad Christmas movies could be so fun? But as the night approached midnight, and everyone was yawning into their popcorn, the snow had stopped and everyone had gone to their rooms to call it a night. For some reason though.... Trinity was not the least bit tired. She gazed out the window at the suddenly beautiful night, at the stars glittering in their soft velvety blanket of sky, and decided... why not go out? Locking her door she slipped out onto her little balcony, hopped with the dexterity hard won dexterity and scrambled down, making her way through the snow, shivering in her pajamas. By the time she reached the clear zone she was almost considering calling it quits, but there it was, the marker she had placed to let her know she had followed the path far enough away from security cameras and population that she could safely power up. She did so, and felt the usual exhilaration flow through her. She smiled to herself, a little shiver running up her spine that caused her to shed a cascade of twinkling sparkles. She took off, running with the speed that her powered form allowed her, running fleetly down the path and entering a field that separated the large expanse of her family estate, from a large upscale park and woodland. During the day this field would be covered with manicured grass meant for picnics, little path meant for horses edging the expanse leaning into more woods with trails. But for now, it was abandoned and quiet, no green visible, only the gently twinkling crystals of ice caught in the crisp snow. Disneya walked into the path, taking delightful pleasure to be the first one to leave prints in the untouched snow, the sparkles from her fuku leaving a trail behind her like fireflys on the snow till they winked out of existence. She was about half way through the field, making her way towards the other treeline when a sweet smell caught her attention. She paused, it was like... a delicate perfume, but not chemically or false. Almost like a garden but colder and cleaner somehow. It seemed an unusual place to find such a sensation. she gazed around and eventually eyes landed on... a flower? The senshi walked over to a small clusyer of what were indeed flowers.. only they looked like snowflakes? How unusual! She knelt in the snow, running a gloved finger over the edge. They tugged at her glove, and the smell grow stronger. Disneya did not know a whole lot about flowers... but she had never seen such a bloom before, and as far as she was aware... flowers usually didn't bloom at night?

Alexandre had seen the flowers earlier in the morning, while out walking the dogs, but he hadn't gotten time to inspect them properly. He wanted to be out in the open, or at least away from the hustle and bustle of the city, in order to perhaps see a whole patch of them. It was why when he powered up that night he headed right for a wooded area he knew of outside the city. It was close to the city, very close, but not close enough that people didn't have massive properties and that woods weren't a common thing - they were fairly common.
As he appeared in the woods he sunk into the snow, as expected, and he had to really work his way through the snow as he headed towards a more dense area. Hoping to find some more of the flowers he'd seen earlier. If he could get so lucky as to pluck one, roots and all, he'd be happy. Perhaps he could find a way to plant or grow it? The idea was an amazing, sort of dreamy, idea but owning such a flower would be a dream come true for him. To say he had a love for flowers would be putting it too simply. He adored them and was amazed by them, and more, and he wanted one of these. But somehow he knew it wasn't meant to be...even if he wished it.
He almost missed it, almost being the key word here, but he soon felt it...a senshi. Well how nice. Maybe they were out and had found what he was seeking. Heading towards the signature, doing his best to wade through the snow, the General must look hilarious as he nearly face planted at one point even. Snow and him were rarely, if ever, friends and right now was proof to that. If any of his team saw him he was sure there would be endless jokes, and teasing, and...he'd accept it as much as he ever would. It would be his own damn fault going out into this when he knew walking in it wasn't going to be easy for him, he'd one sunk up to his neck in snow as a child.
As he grew closer he called out into the cold air. "Any of those snow flowers?"

Disneya had been so enchanted with the flowers she hadn't really noticed the aura approaching until he was far to close for comfort. She felt it just a split second before he called, furrowing her brows just in time for his voice to cut through the night silence.
She had been so focused on... well... focusing that she squeaked. Legitimately squeaked, which cause a little poof of sparkles to explode off of her, and she jumped back to her feet.
She looked at the negverse agent on the far side of the field. To close for comfort. He felt strong... strong like the one who had tried to stab her, and technically succeeded. She felt the scars on her abdomen burn in the cold like a live wire, reminding her to be wary. It looked kinda… well... goofy. Cute, but goofy, struggling through the snow. Like a little boy who had found his dads military uniform and was trying to walk in to big of shoes. But she would NOT let that fool her, not this time. The last one had looked charming and pleasant, right up until he tried to gut her.
All the while she was just sort of... stare/glaring at him with a general air of distrust about her. " Right... because the negaverse is out patrolling for flowers now.... " He was still technically approaching " How.... how about you just stay over there. " She kinda held up her hand a little bit, trying to sound firm but there was a distinct waver in her voice. If she had been a petty person, which she was not, she would have crushed the flowers under her heels, but she just.... wasn't.
As it was she stood carefully with the flowers behind her, gazing at the blue glad man in front of her, still out of reach, but to close for comfort. She did make a notable effort though to not crush them beneath her boots, the flowers, in her mind, were precious and innocent.

"Would it be so unbelievable if I said I happen to have an intrest in plants? And these ones...intrest me more than the usual flora? Flowers which look like snowflakes...delicate and gold and smell sweeter than most. The winter cold destroys most scents, rather quickly, but their smell remains strong. It's why most perfumes don't hold up in the winter...the cold air." He spoke calmly as he just decided to teleport, to close the distance.
It was really too much effort to go plodding through the snow as he was. Once he appeared next to her he found himself glancing her over once before turning to look at the flowers.
"I also might happen to be interested in what goes on in the fall and winter - things none of us understand...that none of us have a hand in. If we made such plants I wouldn't waste them on people...wouldn't let people see them and ruin them. I'd keep them for myself...a personal, private, field of them."
Bending, into the snow, he let his finger tips gently touch the flowers. The smell rising up, which he took a deep breath of. "I saw them earlier in the day but didn't get to investigate as I wished I could at the time. They are...a work of magic..they have to be." There was no other way to explain them. These were not normal, not here on Earth anyway. Perhaps they were from another planet or a wonder, no where he could reach, but here they were right here and now.
