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.

Huh.

[She had never thought to use her fire reading to look into the future to see if someone died... because there was never really a need for it in her world. Or, if there was a need, she never did. Here? It would be useful.

And she might've been able to save Usagi's life and her own.

Negi has inadvertently caused her to want to start a fire.]

[Disclaimer: Negi is not responsible for any arson attempts. :/]

It could just be a superstition, mind you... but I'm capable of some small forms of divination, so the ability isn't completely non-existent in my world. It could just be a more primitive form, something that has been passed down in tradition.

Not very far, admittedly. Divination was something Anya did more than I ever did. I was best with potions.

[No problem, it's good to be safe.]

... generally, it can be anywhere up to a couple of days. The really good diviners are able to see a week or two in advance, if not more.

And it... depends on what sort of thing we're reading for.

[She blinks before snorting softly to herself. Negi and his memory.]

No. My secret was that I can sense the Animus. I'm studying them to try and figure out where they are and how strong they are.

[A pause.]

... or I could sense them, anyway.

[The sadness is quickly replaced with a laugh. No feeling guilty, Negi. Even if that laugh is totally forced.]

It's nothing! It could be worse, you know? It's just an ability, it's not like I need it. I can study them without it. It'll be fine.

Ah, well... it's a type of magic, actually. It can be compared to extrasensory perception. There are different forms of it, but with it, you can read thoughts, detect specific types of magic, see things that are in the future, see through illusions, and even feel and confirm the exact location of others.
