do you want to build a snowman? (open)

So once again Jeannie finds herself in Tibet. Hopefully,  she can avoid the giant hairy creatures this time. As sense one of them isn't her the object of her quest this time.

That at least made sense from a curious point of view when some scientist  asked her to find a yeti for them. Aside from building a snowman and singing frozen songs she has little use for snow.

So she wonders why someone would pay her for bringing them snow.
Will as long as she's paid well the request can be as odd as they want she guesses .  But being asked to climb the world's tallest mountain to get it?

That's a little picky snow is snow in her mind. If climbing a dangerous mountain wasn't enough she has the puzzle of figuring out how to get it back unmelted. Huh, where's iron man or Mr. fantastic when you need them with some brainiac gadget when you need them?

So Jeannie sits at her favorite dumpling shop getting a snack while pondering on her plan.  Would make sense to find some way  to transport the snow first. Where does one find some kinda portable super freezer?

Dire was pissed about snow.
Simple as that. Dire was originally at his apartment in the good ol' U.S of A, playing a racing game. He had been sitting there for about 9 hours trying to beat this one fatty's high score.
Then it all went wrong.
Right before he crossed the finish line to win, the power went out. He instinctively threw the controller with so much force, it stuck out of the TV.
"Fatty bald fatty acne havin fatty fat... FAT!!!" He said out of pure annoyance.
He thought the whole building ran out as well until he saw the orange chalk on the board, giving one name.
Errtu.
"Long time no see..." he said to the board.
Thankfully, it didn't answer.
The name read Salvador Giro
"I have to kill a guy with the last name Giro?" He mumbled as he walked over to his work computer, which he calls "The Hack Box".
Luckily, this guy was easy to track down. He had every social media known to man. "Who still has a MySpace that is being blown up?" He laughed. He sighed. The apartment was very lonely, he hadn't had a friend since middle school, and all he does is kill people.
After that, he saw that the guy was in Tibet.
He shut the computer down, grabbed a bit of cash, grabbed two pistols, and pressed "Deploy" on his watch. Then in a flash, his suit was on.
He dabbed and disappeared to the airport.

He then appeared right outside the same dumpling shop after his flight. He strapped the pistols around his shoulders like cops do. He stepped in and immediately noticed a blonde haired girl with pink streaks in her hair.
"Work first, aquainting later..." He mumbled.
Salvador was a Mexican man, with blonde hair. He stuck out like a pregnant woman' stomach.
He went over to him. "Hey, if I pay for your meal can I show you something?"
Salvador jumped "Oh, you're a hero! You don't need to pay!"
"No, I insist. C'mon."
He lead Salvador out off the road and stopped.
"What is it?"
Dire frowned, "My heart ain't in this one, kid."
He drew the gun and shot him between the eyes and hoped no one would find him for a while.

When he walked back into the shop, Dire saw that the girl was there. He pulled his hood down and sat down across from her.
"You seem American enough for me, I'm Dire. What brings you to this very unpleasant place?" He asked with a warm smile

so Jeannie is still thinking what to do and munching on dumplings when an interesting man comes over and talks to her. Yay, an opportunity to make a new friend Jeannie love making friends.

american? no, i'm British but we both speak English so I guess you could mistake the two.dire that's an interesting name. I'm just Jeannie.
huh is it unpleasant here? it's a little chill but I think it's like getting stuck in a snow globe and we should be singing Christmas songs.

It's a funny story why I'm here I'm going to climb that big mountain here and get some snow. So eccentric millionaire is paying people to get stuff on this list,you go to the big building and the lady gives you something off the list. I got picked to get snow, the only problem I'm not sure how to get the snow back without it melting.

She hands her friend a dumpling try one some there yummy and will warm your tummy. we can have as mean as we want the owner lets me eat for free cause I saved him and the rest of town from an abdominal snowman. You wouldn't have a way to keep snow from melting would you?

I'd hate to get up the mountain and not have a way to get the snow back. Why are you here dire? probably a work thing right? most people don't vacation to places they find unpleasant.

To try and throw off the personal questions Dire said, "I don't know if I should be jealous about meeting the A-Bom Snowman or these dumplings...
Why I'm here? Well I'm a superhuman and I'm 'santas little helper'..." He put air quotes around that, "Sal was on santas naughty list and I had to kill him... And the snow thing I can't help with. As you can see..." He drew his two swords and let the blue flames rise off them. "Ah sunsa bitches... Don't worry! I'm a superhero..." He annouced to everyone staring, before sitting down and saying, "I'm not a superHERO, just superHUMAN. But I would LOVE to go to the top of the mountain with ya!"
He said with a smile.

Jeannie listens to dire explain his reason for being there huh she thought she heard a gunshot earlier but just assumed it was hunters or something being out in the woods.

the abdominal was kinda scary luckily I had my friend Antonio there to help his a giant and really strong so he throw a big cage on it when it chased me out the cave. was pretty neat to meet one I guess if we overlook the it tried to eat me part.
Yeah, the old man's dumplings are the best.

her eyes light up with excitement when he mentions Santa Claus like an excited child.
You work for Santa Claus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that's so cool,I love Christmas. Huh, he most have been really naughty if a lump of coal wasn't punishment enough. And I make sure to be super good then now that Santa has ninja elves that and I like presents so now got two reasons to try my best to stay on the nice list

While the rest of the people around them are startled when dire shows her his magic flamy swords. Jeannie looks amussedthat's neat! bet you can roast marshmallows real good with those.
Yeah, that make the snow worse will still have to work on that part,maybe you could ask Santa to help? bet he has some Christmas magic that could help. thanks for coming with me company's always nice to have,right so before climbing we need mountain climbing stuff ,there was a nice store with outdoorsy stuff here I got stuff to catch the abominable with,so they should have stuff for mountain climbing.Still need something to put the snow in maybe they have a snow carrying device.

Dire gave the first genuine laugh he'd given in a long time, "Well, more like Satan Claws. There is no nice list with this guy... It's just an 'I'm okay with you' list." He was slilently glad he could go up the mountain with Jeannie, he hadn't had company since the job where he had the computer geek he deemed "Jerk Off".
Dang, He thought Wonder what happened good ol' Jerk Off...

He thought of the options. "Why didn't the lady behind the desk give you something? You should give them a bad review online!"
He made a face when he felt a small fizzle in his side, which reminded him he could teleport. "Oh yeah! We won't need that much gear, I can teleport. We need to use it sparingly, though. The thing that gave me powers, gave me sucky ones, gave me horrible guidelines, and horrible circumstances. I can only teleport after a certain period of time, and my healing factor only works inside my apartment.

He remembered the time he made smores with a 5 year old with his swords a gave a small smile, "Yeah... Yeah it does make killer marshmallows... He had made a pact to never kill children. This was the only exception. Errtu assigned him a big billionaire's kid to hit him where it hurt. It took Dire a month to actually kill the kid. He always hoped that kid went somewhere good, wherever the hell people went after death.
"So, you a superhuman too? Metahuman? Mutant? Mutate? Mermaid?" He paused. "Please say mermaid..."
His brain sparked with an amazing idea, "Wait, you said a billionaire was getting you to get this stuff. Are they paying you? Are there more items? Is it like... Invite only?" Could I do it?"

Jeannie laughs she likes this guy his much funnier than the people she usually. So nice to have someone that as a sense of humor. santan claws huh he most be Santas less jolly brother. Yeah, I'll have to do that review thing I thought it was silly too,but I guess figuring out what you needs part of the game.

there is a whole big list of stuff pretty sure anybody can do it just go to the building. I can take you with me to bring the snow back. you can teleport that's neat bet you save a lot of money being able to just pop around to places. that'll definitely be helpful

Huh being able to only heal in your house that seems not as usefully as it could be,but if you can teleport I guess you could get back in time to be ok. Huh, what am I ? good question I guess I'm a chimera if you want to get all full metal alchemist about it. I got accidently got my blood mixed with all kinds of animals and it gave me their powers,so I'm kinda a one girl zoo,weird huh.luckly my appearance is mostly human so I can blend in alright with regular people. She pulls her glasses down so he can see her eyes are more catlike than human pushes her hair back to show her ears are elflike. then smiles revealing pointy canine teeth
besides that I'm pretty normal the eye things easy to hide people just think it's odd I wear sunglasses at night,let different than the song for me I'm sensitive to light so that's why I wear them all the time. the ear things kinda cute and save money when dressing up at lord of the rings conventions sense i got elf ears already.

the teeth are a pain cause I can be mistaken for a vampire. luck there small enough people got to be real close to notice so I don't get that too much being kinda pale doesn't help much with that tough. I promise I'm not undead and prefer eating sweets, not blood.

not sure about mermaid maybe some alligator, I can hold my breath underwater pretty long and see down there better than normal. I heal real fast too and that's a lizard thing I'm just glad I didn't get scales as part of the deal, also I'm hungry all the time my daddy is a scientist guy and knows all kinda stuff he says it's cause my body needs more energy cause it functions are more demanding than a normal persons cause all the different things I do. Best parts my metabolism supercharged so I eat all the ice cream I want and never get fat! huh know that I think of it I bet if I call daddy he might send us something we could use,he's always inventing stuff so he probably has some kinda super freezer laying around he an't using,and we could get mommy to send cookies to take with us so we don't get hungry climbing up the mountain! you'll like my mommy's cookies there really good.

so are you like a wizard with them magic swords or one of them fire maker guys,or is it just a gift from satan Claws. ?This question game is fun,so nice having some who likes to talk most hero type are all mysterious and stuff batman syndrome,makes for a lack of conversation, Jeannie looks through her purse for her phone to call her dad about some kinda gadget they can borrow

Wow... She's awesome. He thought.
Dire felt love for the first time in forever, he realized.
Not romance love, but the true chemistry of best friends. She was the first person EVER to be a good guy and not apalled by his circumstances.
He'd always tried to justify. Saying: "I don't LIKE it. That's why I MAKE it fun..."
With Jeannie, he hadn't even had to say that... He actually wore the mercenary name with pride. It payed for his living AND kept him alive.
Yet, Jeannie made it seem okay.
"So this list is like some ancient grocery list?" He asked before losing his train of thought.

"Well, if it makes you feel better... The glasses at night is cool, the eyes are even cooler. The ears are AWESOME and I'm really jealous, AND the teeth are cute cuz' it makes you look like a teenage vampire... I LOVE LORD OF THE RINGS!!! I always go as Legolas..." He pointed out his beige skin "With a sun tan..." He laughed

""No, I would never stoop as low as a wizard... I'm not cool enough to be a firebender. Nah, I'm just a level 30 ranger. With swords that make me wickedly fast! I guess that's cool... He pondered for a moment "I could prolly whoop Legolas' proper posterior from here to Eisenguard..."

"Great thinking! Do I get meet your parents?! I NEED to talk to your dad about an automatic sandwich maker..." He joked

Jeannie smiles happily to find some who actually admired her odd physical traits. She needs to come to this dumpling shop more often she meets the most interesting people in the middle of nowhere . And he likes lord of the rings too yay that's cool you like lord of the rings too. Kinda fun that you're a for real ranger my world of warcraft character is a ranger.neat i didn't know you could be one for real.

huh that be funny if it was ,but besides some funny plants you could make a salad with a lot of it doesn't sound edible,we could make snow cones with the snow too I guess,yeah we should do that cause there should be enough to do that and bring back .

yeah I was just going to ask them to mail it to us but visiting would be way better I haven't seen them in awhile,can you teleport us to England? sandwich maker yeah daddy might have one he gets bored and makes random stuff it's hard to keep track of all his inventions.

This is where it gets interesting...
Normally, Dire can only teleport around a mile with certainty of where he's going. He's tried to teleport across the world twice.
The first time he wanted to go to France and ended up 15000 yards in the beautiful German.
The second he ended up in a wall.
"Well. No. BUT I can teleport an airport, and get a free flight."
He pondered, With a passenger... That could be risky too... Aw, shaddup.
He grabbed Jeannie's hands, but pulled back instantly.
He realized hadn't touched anyone in a while. Her hands were strangely soft...
He shook it off and concentrated.
His vision went black and he imagined Jeannie' did too.

His vision came back and he was sitting on the floor of a very busy airport. In front of him were two legs. They belonged to Jeannie. He tried to get Jeannie somewhere comfy. He let go of hands slowly and looked for a desk.
A kid was apparently watching when they teleported, because he heard in the background: "Mommy, can I say hi?"
His mother must've said yes because he ran over to the two. He couldn't have been more than 5.
"Excuse me miss... Can I have your autograph?" He said thrusting a piece of paper and a pen to Jeannie. He snatched the paper and said,
"First things first... I'm a dude.
Second. Don't let anyone tell you your dreams cannot be reality. My father did it to me, and I didn't believe him. Now I'm catching criminals everyday. So dream big kid."
"I was actually talking to her... Who are you again?" The kid asked in a small voice.
Dire scowled, "The guy who don't care if you play in the runway..." He stormed to the desk to get their free tickets.
He had gotten them from a group of geeks behind a computer. His thread of mercenaries always get free tickets.

He walked back to Jeannie to give her the ticket and drug her to the plane, not even noticing he took her hand again.
He took her to a seat and sat next to her.
He was allowed to bring weapons on the plane because he was "registered" as a superhero and was "upholding the peace".
When really they HACKED and hes gonna KILL SOMEONE.

The hunt was afoot and Rozmer stalked his prey like deadly jungle cat. Silently he slipped among the regular people in the airport, they suspected nothing. He was dressed in his usual, a white undershirt with a dark vest overtop. A dark purple bow tie hung tight at his collar, his tinted glasses bore a similar shade. All and all the tall German appeared as though he was dressed for some sort of fancy party. Perhaps he was a bartender or an attendant at one of the more high class restaurants in the airport. This was what most people assumed from his appearance anyway. In reality, he was on a mission. He had heard whispers of a most valuable duo that had just arrived in the vary airport he now inhabited. There was no way for him to get his mind off the excitement as he strolled through the halls towards one of the terminals. It was so close now he could almost smell it.

Then all at once he saw his prize. Illuminated by a bright neon sign on the opposite side of the hall was the airport's candy store! Rozmer couldn't contain himself as he scurried inside like a small child, making a beeline for one of the display cases. His fingers pressed wantingly against the glass. Inside were two monstrous everlasting gobstoppers. Each one was easily the size of his closed fist. Drool cling to the corners of his mouth and his pupils dilated at the glorious site.

Hurriedly he reached into his pockets and slammed a wad of cash in the front desk.Ill take them both please! he commanded excitedly. Lazily the clerk strolled to the display and unlocked the case, setting one of the gobstoppers in either of Rozmer's hands. A look of pure joy crossed his face as he immediately popped one of the sugary treats into his mouth. A pleased sigh escaped his lips as he shifted the rock hard candy into his left cheek. Now satisfied and contented, he stuffed the other into his right pants pocket and strolled back out into the airport hallway.

He gazed curiously on the inhabitants of the terminal across from him. There were so many different people from so many different backgrounds. They reminded him of the Omniverse itself, each one a contained reality with its own interactions and interconnected was to the others. And between them The Void, most of these people were blissfully unaware of the intricacies working inside the others that walked the halls with them. But Rozmer was and--what the hell?

Rozmer's eyes suddenly came upon a man dressed in red and openly brandishing swords and guns in the airport. There was a crowd of people standing and staring, terrified of this man who had just suddenly appeared in the airport. This has got to be some kind of practical joke right? Rozmer muttered to himself. He spins around a few times, trying to find the hidden cameras or a certain friend of his. Very funny Rozmer said sarcastically to what he assumed must be a hiding Zell. If you honestly think I'm going to believe that a metahuman would be dumb enough to teleport into the middle of a crowded airport and board a plane with two swords strapped to his - - okay seriously is that lady mentally handicapped?! He couldn't believe his eyes. The stewardess stared blankly at the man and his compatriot as they boarded the plane, as though what was happening was a totally normal everyday thing.

Immediately he started storming over to the stewardess who had admitted the couple. Excuse me miss but wen you just admitted those two on the plane did you happen to notice anything unusual about that man? She stared blankly at Rozmer, momentarily caught off guard by his bluntness.

Well she began clumsily His ticket said superhero on it so I figured it was legit.

Do you mind if I see that ticket? Rozmer more commanded than asked. Without a second thought the lady handed over the ticket. Immediately upon looking at it, he couldn't help but laugh. Crudely inked on to the ticket were the words "a superhero upholding the peace".

Ma'am he started a wry smile on his face you haven't been working here very long have you? She smiled at him proudly, a little bit of confusion on her face though Rozmer was starting to believe ignorant and happily confused was her default setting. Yea I sort of had a feeling he said as he licked his thumb. He then rubbed it against the ticket in plain view of the stewardess. Her mouth hung open in shock as the stamp ink easily rubbed off. I'd probably go tell your boss you quit, on account of the fact that you may have just let someone openly hijack this plane. Withiut another word Rozmer strolled into the plane.

The passengers inside were similarly startled as they were in the terminal. Most were getting up and leaving, terrified that a man with two swords had just casually strolled into the plane. It was quiet pandemonium, all of them trying to avoid getting the man's attention they scurried to the exit. The mass exodus have Rozmer room to sit down in the aisle seat directly next to the swordsman.

Always so crowded flying coach am I right? he absently remarked to the couple, leaning forward to look at both of them. Name's Rozmer he smiled, waving happily to the two. With his other hand he held onto their arm rest. In an instant all three of them along with the seats they were seated in disappeared from the plane reappearing in the middle of the Gobi Desert, all still seated exactly as they had been in their seats next to each other. Rozmer continued without missing a beat. So, you mind telling me why the fuck you thought it was okay to board a plane openly carrying weapons?

so in the blink of an eye dire teleported them to the airport. well that was interesting,I like your teleporting a lot better than that time me and my friend Mr. lee got abducted by aliens.
That was slightly nauseating.


upon their arrival, a little boy came asking for her autograph How interesting Jeannie smiles excited at the idea of some actually knowing who she is! Despite being the greatest bounty hunter no one seems to know who she is.She has a fan!

Or he just mistook her for an actress or singer or something
. but what every,so while dire is getting their tickets she signs the paper for before dire returns and they hurry off to catch their flight.

So there settling in when a man approaches them and makes a comment about it being crowded huh she can understand that she doesn't really like crowds,all the voices are a pain when you have sensitive hearing.

yeah I don't care for crowds much Rozmer that name sounds familiar to Jeannie but she can't think of why at the moment. before they can talk more she gets that queasy about to be teleported feeling.

suddenly there in the desert? i think we got on the wrong plane,wait where is the plane?

Jeannie looks around confused her,dire and the mysterious rozmer were the only ones there and the rest or the plan was gone. he is asking about bringing weapons on the plane, he most be talking to dire as his swords are in plan view. All the sudden Jeannie notices something that makes her happy. the unmistakable shape of a gobstopper! She watches rozmer suck on the yummy treat she wants one. hey do you got any more of those,I like gobstoppers too come to think of it I like all kinds of candy,about your question my friends a ranger there world or timeline thing has deferent rules,he doesn't know it's not ok to run around with swords here.
She smiles hoping answering the question for him might bring about a reward in the form of sugary treats.

When the man named Rozmer asked introduced himself he was too pissed to be happy.But the show must go on... "Yeah... A lot of babies. Did you get to talk to the lady at the desk? She must've been CARAAZY to to let me on this plane... So where you headed?" He asked with a dumb smile.

Then they were in the middle of the desert.
"Whoa! Party foul!!! The middle of the desert? Man, why here?
He tilted his head at Jeannie's comment, "The ranger thing was a joke... Why should I tell YOU? I mean it's obvious that you got cooler teleportation powers than me, but what if you're doing the same thing we are? Then you'll poof me to a volcano or some freaky shit. Besides... the weapons have helped me in much more DIRE situations..." He nudged Jeannie at the joke.
"Besides! Nobody was gonna get hurt... Probably...

He then saw the Gobstoppers. "Aw hell..." Rozmer had him under his thumb now. Dire never watches his diet because he just burns it off.
And he had quite a sweet tooth.
"OKAY!!! Pull my leg why don't you..." He groaned
"Me and Miss Rose are headed to her parents' house. Then we're climbing a mountain. Happy? Now gimme one before I cut them out of you... " He drew his swords and let them blaze with their blue flames. He didn't even care how hot it was. He was having the time of his life with Jeannie.
This guy ruined his only genuinely good day.
"AND ANSWERS!!! I'll cut those out of you too..." He snarled
"If Errtu sent you, I swear I will gut you... I KILLED SAL, ASSHOLE NOW LE-"
He made a face "You don't know Errtu do you... What do you want with us?" He asked after realizing he beginning to start a rant.

Rozmer could not have felt more validated in his decision to remove these people from the plane. Both of them were completely unhinged, maybe not in the malicious sense, but stupidity carries its own inherent dangers. Like believing everything you're told Rozmer thought as he looked at Jeanie stupefied. Her "he's a ranger from another timeline" excuse made little sense. If he hadn't known it wasn't okay, why hadn't she told him? The girl had even gone along with his forged ticket! No if she knew it wasn't okay the. She had just strolled in with him like it wasn't a big deal. Rozmer didn't even know what to say.

Thankfully the swordsman seemed to be more than willing to talk. Immediately they refuted Jeanie's "ranger" story, though how that was supposed to be a joke or funny Rozmer wasn't so sure. Clearly the man was rambling, paranoid and a little delusional. Rozmer had zero idea where these two had come from or what they were doing on that plane and yet this swordsman was now blathering in about his powers and his fear that Rozmer was here for "the same thing". With every passing second the man's suggestion of dropping him in a volcano seemed a more reasonable action. Especially after he admitted that he was probably going to hurt someone with the swords.

Then the man stood, ranting on about these two going to see the girls parents and climbing a mountain before drawing his weapons and threatening Rozmer for his other gobstopper. Rozmer never flinched as the blades ignited in flames, quite the opposite actually. Immediately Rozmer began to laugh a deep belly laugh, doubling over as his stomach tensed. Tears streamed down his face as the laughing continued. As the the man threatened him again for "answers" (he didn't even know there had been questions) he composed himself, wiping a tear from his eye.

Oh man Rozmer remarked as he stood to his feet. You really are clueless aren't you? He continued to chuckle between words, finding the whole situation completely ridiculous, for this reality anyways.

Reaching into his pocket, Rozmer produced the gobstopper, keeping his body phased as he did so. He held it up at eye level as he addressed the two lunatics. So let me get this straight. he began. I remove you two from the airplane because you were inciting chaos in the airport by openly carrying your weapons and I feared you might be planning to harm someone with them. Seems pretty sane so far right? I think most people would be put off by someone walking around with a deadly weapon in a crowded area. he pauses for a moment before continuing, a slight chuckle eacaping from him. And how do you respond? Not by explaining yourself or rationalizing your action, no, you decide the appropriate thing to do in that situation is to threaten me over this. He motioned with his right hand to emphasize the gobstopper. In summary, to prove to me that you aren't a murderous psycho you threatened to gut me over candy. It sounded even more insane as he said it.

Please tell me that you realize this isn't the behavior of a rational human being, right? Rozmer questioned, almost pleading it to the man as he popped the second gobstopper into his own mouth. The sweet treats now ballooning each of his cheeks, making him appear somewhat like a human chipmunk.

[OOC: Sorry the question seems directed to Dire. I can delete if anyone has problem with this]

Dire took a deep breath and sheathed his swords "Man, I don't want to fight you... You actually seem like a cool guy. Dig the purple bee-tee-dubs." He gave a small bow
"I can't tell you my REAL name as of now, but my superhuman name is Dire. Sorry I flipped out, I was a little nervous about your powers."
All he could hope was that Rozmer understood he was actually apologetic.

"I WAS trying to fly for free by using that fake merc ticket on the dumb girl, but I wasn't expecting to meet Jeannie..."
But I sure am glad I did... He added
"I've always wanted be a hero, but mercenaries cannot be heroes... Yet, I'm not a villain either... Damn you Errtu..." He muttered that last part.
"I have no explanations... Take me to jail you want, I don't care. I'll get out as fast as you could put me in. My defense would simply be: I was not going to hurt ANYONE with these weapons..."
He made a face that looked oddly like a smile"And dick move with the candy, chipmunk..."
