ARRIVAL

It's very charming.

They arrive in a large parking lot behind a school, which is filled with variety of tables and booths, and enough people that their presence doesn't immediately draw attention, though their clothes will draw some raised eyebrows in a moment. Some of the booths around them offer food and drink, others a variety of crafts, still others simple games. Piles of snow suggest that the lot was cleared relatively recently, and beyond the parking lot, a snowed-over field has provided space for well-bundled children to build snowmen and make snow angels. A group of about 10 children on the other end of the space is singing Christmas carols under an adult's direction, decently in tune though not very loudly.

For anyone from a world similar enough to this one, it is very clearly an elementary school winter carnival.

The real question is who will be the first to spot a woman with a familiar face, currently in the middle of a heated discussion with a man in a fleece vest who seems to be running the hot chocolate booth.

[No tag order, chaos reigns, though feel free to grab me if you want Cosima and/or her sister Alison anywhere in particular.]
