There's something the residents here should know, especially if you weren't here last year.

Last year, Adstringéndum experienced a two-and-a-half-month period of blizzards, and waist-high, if not more, snow levels. Naturally, it would make gathering supplies and doing other mundane tasks extremely difficult, if not outright dangerous.

People had made proper preparations. However, all winter shops and winter wear outright disappeared during this time. Everyone was missing some article of clothing from their wardrobe, leaving the residents with nothing but light autumn wear and summer clothing.

While it's doubtful the Animus or whoever did it will do it again this year, it would be best to prepare as if it were alongside with regular winter preparations. Find residence if you don't have one. Request help with repairs even if you're going to stay there temporarily. Hawke's offered to help with that here.

........

On a completely different note, anyone have suggestions for Halloween?

[The following is added a few minutes later.]

Additionally, there are those within Adstringéndum that have the ability to manipulate the elements. Fire, ice, lightning, etc. If you need help during the winter to clear snow or whatever to make conditions more bearable, keep in mind you can call on these people too.

There are people with elemental affinities and abilities that should be able to help keep conditions bearable, I suppose.

[saucey]

Mm. Naturally. I'll add that.

[iceandivory.livejournal.com]

Ah.

[A pause, as if he's not sure whether he should continue.]

You've been busy.

[saucey]

Better than doing nothing all day.

[iceandivory.livejournal.com]

I suppose. That bored?

[Careful word choice right there.]

[saucey]

Pretty much.

[It's not like they have a date to go on or anything.]

[iceandivory.livejournal.com]

[Well, maybe they should change that. Would be nice to spend some time with someone without one of them being mortally wounded or homicidal.]

If you need help with any of it...

[saucey]

[As long as everything doesn't end up in an argument, Hitsu.]

....You know I wouldn't mind help.

[iceandivory.livejournal.com]

[He stopped himself last time. He can do it again. Hopefully.]

Just ... call me when you need it.

This is the part where you say 'Hey, we should have dinner' or something not related to preparing for winter or work.

Just sayin'.

[She can't watch this pain anymore, it's like watching a kicked puppy try to get up the stairs without help, gawd, enjoy yourself.]

[Voice // Private // Unhackable] Oh gosh, why. xD;;;

[iceandivory.livejournal.com]

What are you talking about?

[Damn you, Hino. Daaaaamn yooouuuu.]

[Voice // Private // Unhackable] I do not control her, dude, I apologize.

[flameandpassion]

You two seriously need to get a grip and enjoy yourselves. All I ever see you talk about is mandatory things to do or bickering.

Go make him dinner or something.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable] It's almost as beautiful as Al butting in.

[iceandivory.livejournal.com]

Mandatory things are mandatory because they need to be done.

And I'm not touching the food.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable] Rei is not talking about that ever.

[flameandpassion]

Toushirou.

You can't be on 'work mode' all the time when you're with someone. It's annoying and it's really annoying when that's all you talk about.

Make the kid dinner.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable] D'aaw.

[iceandivory.livejournal.com]

That's what Sasuke is-

[Stop. Before this turns into a really bad excuse. Hitsugaya is not going to blame Sasuke for his own shortcomings.]

...

Fine.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable] So embarassing. D8

[flameandpassion]

[... wow, that actually worked? What? Seriously? Rei wins at life!]

He'll appreciate it.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable] xD

[iceandivory.livejournal.com]

[He does honestly want to make Sasuke happy. And Sasuke is clearly anything but at the moment.]

Hnngh.

[saucey]

[Hopefully being the keyword.]

Just jump in whenever, Toushirou.

[iceandivory.livejournal.com]

[Sigh.]

Fine.

[saucey]

Hn.

[iceandivory.livejournal.com]

... [Totally embarrassed, shut up.] If you'd like, I could make dinner tonight.

[saucey]

[Keywords.]

Ah... Sure.

[iceandivory.livejournal.com]

[He'll have to go looking through those cookbooks again. Ugh.]

...Anything in specific that you'd like?

[saucey]

Whatever you feel like making is fine.

[He now has one of the infernal things propped up in his lap and is flipping through it. He put tabs in every page with tomato recipes during the Seven Draughts Event.]

Chipotle chicken in tomato sauce. We don't have chipotle, but there's a list of possible substitutes.
