Prompt 9 (The Snowmen) : Destiny City has no shortage of creatives looking to take advantage of the snowfall, so the snowmen popping up around the city are not so surprising, themselves. It’s how often you keep seeing the same snowman. Maybe someone’s making identical snowmen across the city, but there’s just something off about it. Sometimes the same snowman will be facing a different direction than when you last looked at it, or maybe it’s moved altogether. Sometimes in what seems like the blink of an eye. It never moves while you’re watching it, but when your eyes aren’t on it, there’s no telling what might happen. It could be someone playing a prank on you, but why? And how are they getting away with it? The snowmen can’t be moving on their own, right? It doesn’t help that when the weather warms a bit and they begin to melt, they morph into hideous, frightening monstrosities. Somehow, even those seem to be stalking you, right until they completely melt and disappear.
Demeter was having a pretty okay time, she thought. Learning how to do this whole magical girl thing. She knew she should probably pair up with someone for her patrols or something, given she was a healer, and not so much of a fighter, but... She wasn't really friends with anyone from "the scene" yet. As much as she wanted some friends, it wasn't working out so far. She hoped she could make some eventually, though.
....The creepy snowmen she was finding, however, definitely gave off those "Weeping Angel" vibes. She shivered, praying she was wrong. Maybe there was some kid out there who was really dedicated to making the same snowman everywhere, for some reason. Like... Like they were imitating Calvin from those comics or whatever, right? Yeah. Nothing to worry about, surely.
So lost in her thoughts and watching the snowmen to ensure that, if they did move when she blinked, she wasn't taken away to like 1950 or something, she didn't notice when she nearly bowled over a child.
"Oh, gosh, I am so sorry," she spat out quickly, eyes wide. "Are you... okay...?"
What.
