MHA Lobby, Thursday

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

It was still fucking snowing. Even after spending what felt like a fucking eternity in Wisconsin, Loki didn't think he'd seen this much snow come down in such a short time period.

And the power was still fucking out.

The fireplace that had appeared yesterday had helped some, giving both light and warmth to the lobby. He'd let it burn for as long as he could before putting it out and going to bed. The fire was lit again this morning but Loki wasn't in front of it.

There were a few candles lit, providing more light and showing that Loki wasn't inside MHA at the present moment.

No, instead, he was being fucking responsible and outside, shoveling the path from the front door to the streets. Thank fuck the cold didn't bother him that much but he was still bundled up and still feeling the sting of the snow on his cheeks and hands.

He really needed to buy gloves. His hands felt like fucking blocks of ice.

Eventually, he managed to get the fucking walk clear enough that he thought people would manage to come and go (if they really needed to) and came back inside to immediately stick his hands in front of the fire.

"Fucking snow," he muttered. "Goddamn."

[open, of course. no ocd! that fireplace just had to get some use!]

Bundled in layers of hide, Ronon drug a chair over to the fireplace and made himself comfortable. "When you fixing the lights?"

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"It's a power outage," Loki said, shooting a glare at Ronon. "I can't fix them. It's out island wide. Probably because of the fucking snow."

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"No magic kids fixing things so it's warm?" Really, this surprised Ronon, the way his students like flaunting their gifts.

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"Doesn't look like it," he said dryly. "I think, if they could, they would have done it already. Big guy like you's cold, huh?"

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Startin' to get there," Ronon shrugged. "I like this fire, though. Gonna roast somethin' for dinner?"

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"Wasn't planning on it but that's not a bad fucking idea," he said, trying to recall if he had anything worth cooking. "I'm not much of a cook, though. Think the pizza shop's still delivering?"

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Bet they'll bring you a frozen pie," Ronon grinned. "More fun to track one of them deer I heard about."

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"You think the deer are stupid enough to be prancing around in this?" Loki asked, shaking his head.

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Didn't stop you from prancing around with the shovel." Ronon pointed out.

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"I was being a good landlord," Loki said, shooting another glare at Ronon. "And I didn't want anyone to fucking sue me because they busted their ass out on the walk. Landlording doesn't pay that much."

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"You gonna come fix my lamp, Mr. Landlord?" Ronon teased.

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"Fuck you," Loki said as affectionately as he could. "I'll buy you a new one or something. It won't work until the fucking power comes back on, though. Waste of a fucking lamp till then."

Ronon stretched with a smile, liking the heat of the fire. "You're not the one in the basement. Think I'll stay up here tonight."

No way she was walking from the office to MHA. Loki would have to settle for his phone ringing.

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

And the phone was answered.

"Snow central, home of the most fucking snow I have ever seen in my life."

That was his greeting today.

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

"I thought you were used to this shit being from 'Wisconsin'," she snarked back in greeting.

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"Even this is a little too much for me," he said, making a face. "Has the snow stopped once in three days? I think not."

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

"All I know is I walked to work this morning and I'm pretty sure I'm going to lose a toe," Lindsay grumbled. "And I keep finding cups of hot chocolate but none of them are spiked."

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"Aw, Lindsay, do you want me to bring you some vodka?" Loki asked. "I think I've got a half full bottle or something. I seem to just be sharing with everyone rather than drinking it myself."

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

"Normally I'd throw myself at you naked in gratitude but its way too cold and no one needs to be going anywhere in this shit."

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"Too bad, I would have done it!" Loki said and clicked his tongue. "Why'd you even go into work? You should have stayed home and shoveled your fucking walk."

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

"If I spent one more day in that house I'd drive myself nuts," Lindsay grunted. "Plus aren't you supposed to be m shoveler of my walk?"

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"I had to shovel my own fucking walk today," he said. "Yours might have to wait."

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

"Awww. C'mon," she coaxed. "I'll make you two sandwiches and you can keep your shirt on."

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"Lindsay, you want me to shovel your fucking walk but you don't want me to bring you something to drink?" Loki asked. "You really must like seeing me work."
