a hawk in training;

Absolutely no one is touching Toushirou without going through me first.

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.
