Prompt 1 (Diamond Dust): This time of year, snow is common. What’s uncommon is the single, strange snowfall where each snowflake that fell glistened like tiny diamonds. For the most part, the snow seems fairly normal—it’s cold, wet, and melts just like any other snow, it just also happens to look like tiny little gems are falling from the sky. Depending on who you’re with, it’s either incredibly strange, or incredibly romantic.
When the snow is coming down at its strongest, crystalized snowflakes trickle down with the rest of the snow. These are roughly the size of a quarter and are light and hollow. They are fragile, like glass, but glisten like a fine cut gem. No one can explain this anomaly, but these small snowflakes won't melt. And they are all over Destiny City. You can find them gently falling to the ground, or lying in the fresh fallen snow. There doesn’t seem to be anything particularly magical about them, but they are beautiful and make pretty keepsakes.

Roman wasn't surprised when he looked outside and saw a blanket of snow covering the street and what yard the apartment complex had. It was December. Sure, it had been warm not that long ago, but winter was finally here to stay. He took a deep breath as he finished opening the curtains and then paused.
Wait a minute. He knelt down and pressed his nose to the glass, chin resting on his windowsill. Was the snow... not snowflake shaped? He had to be seeing things.
Instead of calling, Roman, who was dressed only in sleep pants and house slippers, left his apartment to go knock on his brother's door. He didn't even know if Ruvik was awake. Didn't really know what time it was, for that matter. Probably early afternoon. "Ru, answer the door, the snow's a weird shape!" Not the weirdest thing that's come out of the artist's mouth.
