[open] you're as cold as ice -- you're willing to sacrifice

Who: Leonard Snart and YOU. Also, plot for closed starters by commenting to my plotting comment or hitting me up at [plurk.com profile] reineke
Where: Throughout Genosha
When: 8/5-8/9
Rating: PG-13? I guess? I'll update if anything bad happens.
Summary: Len has ice powers and is, on the one hand, a thief and generally not so savoury character. On the other hand, he's in favour of free will and equal chances, so somehow he ends up actually being pro-human. He's not sure how he ended up a good guy either.
Will match format, brackets or prose, all good.


1. He's out on the street for reasons known only to himself. Maybe it has something to do with the bank nearby or maybe that man in the expensive suit who passes Leonard and who realises about an hour later that his wallet is missing.

Maybe it's because that place on the corner, where Leonard pays with money from said wallet, has such excellent ice cream. Maybe he's waiting to meet someone, like a hot date or that police woman that'd do better not to be seen with him. Or maybe it is just for some good, old-fashioned fun, like creating a snowball in his palm and holding it as he considers where to throw it.

Feel free to interrupt him at any point.


2. Home sweet home. Only Leonard's current residence is literally inside an abandoned warehouse and as such it's not overly cosy, nor the best suited to keep any unwanted or even wanted visitors waiting.

Of course, unless somebody knows he lives here, they might not bother coming in. It certainly doesn't look very lived in, until one comes to one of the backrooms, which has the couch he's currently reclining on, reading a magazine with his feet propped up on the backrest.

The room is also cold. Not quite below zero, but if someone's breath runs hot, it would be visible. Leonard's breath can't be seen, but there are faint ice crystals forming under his fingertips.


3. [ooc: Throw up your own thing, feel free to plot with me before as mentioned up on top or let's just jump right in.]

[He is a literal genius, thanks. And that means he has access to every damning piece of scholarship that proves humans were mistaken about their place on the food chain.

he'll move up to the sofa, though. It's mostly because Len told him to.]

It's kind of you to say so. But that kind of thinking was disproven decades ago, when the X genome was first dissected.

[He smiles faintly at that.]

People like you are a rare type these days.
hypoxic: (that's how I feel about it)

[It's an effective tactic. He's less likely to be expected to perform properly if he isn't the center of anyone's attention.]

People who don't want to be bothered with any of it.
hypoxic: (shooting down my cheeks)

That's only because the humans make everything harder than it has to be. If they'd just stop fighting, none of this would have to happen.
hypoxic: (that's just the reality of it)

It isn't a human's choice to make. We're -- flawed things. We shouldn't be allowed to try to think for ourselves. We only end up hurting people when we do.
hypoxic: (even with injured wings)

From what I gather, her powers left her isolated for a very long time. It's a credit to her strength of character that she developed into such a kind, generous person.

[There's no sarcasm there. He actually loves Caitlin that much.]

She is. [He insists it more firmly, faint color creeping onto his cheeks.]

She saved me.
hypoxic: (words shatter under sighs)

[personal profile] hypoxic 2016-08-11 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
She saved me from getting wrapped up in all that fighting. Humans are too violent on their own. She could have just let me get myself killed. But she didn't. She thought I was worth rescuing. And now she takes care of me rather than let me slip back into that lifestyle.

They don't really have a reason, though. [At least, not in any way he understands reasons to be valid.]

It's just a chemical imbalance. It does terrible things to a human's reasoning ability. We can only hope that one day there's medication developed to solve the issue.

[medicating an entire species into docility certainly makes sense to him, at least. ]

...she really isn't as terrible as she wants people to think. She's just lonely, I think. She's calmed down quite a lot since taking me in.

hypoxic: (tomorrow has to be brighter)

[He sits up straighter, tensing defensively.]

Don't talk about her like that.

[It's the closest he's come to having a backbone all day.]
hypoxic: (but it's where I met you)

[personal profile] hypoxic 2016-08-29 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
[It's terrifying, to watch powers at work. But it'll be worth it if it's for Caitlin. Everything is.]

Well you oughtn't. She trusts you. People she trusts keep betraying her. That's part of the problem.
hypoxic: (shooting down my cheeks)

Why does there have to be a something else at all?

[His own eyes remain riveted to the visible weapon. Len wouldn't hurt him. Caitlin trusts Len. There has to be an angle he's not seeing.]

If it's more than that, I'm too stupid to see it.

[His tone isn't self-deprecating or ironic. It's just a statement of fact. Humans aren't as intelligent as mutants. It's enough of a miracle he's able to grasp as much as he does.]
