Thread: Out of the Ordinary (Ezralora and shanthi_priya)

Winter was always a good month. Over the passed few days snow had been falling, making the city look as if it belonged in the middle of a Christmas card. The streets had an ample covering of snow about them leaving divots on it where people had been walking and animals had been crossing in the snow. People had begun to question when the snow was going to begin to let up, but there had been no signs of it doing snow as the flakes merely seemed to be getting bigger as time went on. Not that people were complaining, the cool air and darker skies were heaven for kids as they were out playing, building snowmen and throwing snowballs and just keeping up a large amount of mischief. The city was an interesting place, whilst it had a fair amount of the large work offices that are stereotypical of cities, and warehouses, rivers, docks anything you'd expect to find in a city. It had a few nicer sights, a large garden where people would go for walks, that now looked like a Winter Wonderland. Though the further one went away from the city the more country side the person would begin to see, and a few nice cozy looking cottages stood by with larger plots of land for those that could afford, or wanted to be away from the city. This was little bother to Stephanie as she walked along the path, her long boots crunching into the snow as the setting sun set a nice dark blue hue on the snow. Stephanie was a woman of 27 years old. She had a pale complexion with dark eyes and wavy black hair. She was broad shouldered, but had a strong look about her form how she carried herself. She definitely appeared to be pretty. She was wearing tight black trousers that tucked neatly into her black boots, with a white baggy shirt underneath her three quarter black coat which was fastened tightly around her frame to keep the warmth in. Around her neck was a tacky dark green woollen scarf that matched her fingerless gloves, that kept a majority of her hands snug and warm. The cold temperature had brought a little bit of a rose red colour to her cheeks and nose. The only other thing of interest around her was a satchel. It wasn't the satchel that was important though, it was the laptop inside that held most of her life's work... not that she had been living for a long time compared to others. Stephanie was making her way to a certain cafe, Victoria's Cafe. Once she made her way into it she was greeted by the strong smell of coffee and the low murmur of chatter and talking, the cafe was dimply lit but had a homely atmosphere about it. There were cakes on display for people to pick and eat, ranging from banana cakes to rather pleasant looking Victoria Sponge cake. Stephanie glanced around at the quiet inside and the few people that were seated at their tables before making her way to her regular table, that was near the window and allowed a nice view of the outside world. She ordered a cup of coffee and pulled out her laptop whilst she waited. She was writing her next book, and was one hundred and twenty seven pages into the book, and on the fifteenth chapter and the ninth paragraph down. With a quick scan of what she had written previously she began to type whilst she waited for her friend to arrive.
