[previously unknown secondary uses for windsock hoodies: impromptu scarves, which John has wrapped around most of his face, because what even is this. Admittedly it doesn't help the arm situation much, but that's what he's trying to find a jumper for.]

Okay, it wasn't this cold last time! It can't have been that long. [with a glance at the ceiling] Seriously, what is this place's deal?

I believe that a better question would be, what's your outfit's deal?

[Text]

[fireflyheir]

huh?
hey, it's actually pretty nice! when it's not snowing inside

[manicurious]

If by "nice" you mean "extremely silly-looking and also terribly impractical."

How many times has that enormous hood gotten caught in doors or tripped over?

Probably several.

[fireflyheir]

hey! it does not look silly at all.
well, you're wrong!
only people who aren't paying attention would get caught more than once.

[admittedly it also helps that there haven't been that many doors to get caught in, but details!]

[manicurious]

Yes it does!

But it is kind of cute, I admit, even if I don't particularly like the color.

Anyway, this place's deal is that someone has apparently messed with the climate controls, or they could have just broken. We've already had a few technical problems recently, so I wouldn't be surprised by either option.

[tactilekonesis]

Lumi's kind of weird like that. [Kon sheepishly smiles in return.] Sorry you're stuck with us during all of this.

[fireflyheir]

Jeez. It would've been nice to hear about this before it happened! [he lets out an exaggerated sigh, eyes flicking over Kon] All of this? What's going on here?

[tactilekonesis]

No idea. [he shrugs] I'm guessing someone messed with the weather controls, since it's snowing everywhere.

[fireflyheir]

Haha, no kidding! [he gives himself a little shake, since he's accumulated a little on his shoulders by now, and looks back at the chest of drawers] …man, everything's going to get damp when it melts.

[looking back to Kon and frowning] Wait… weather controls?

[tactilekonesis]

[Oh right, the newbies don't find out right off the bat.] Yeah. You know, the stuff that keeps the temperature consistent. They broke down earlier, so we had to go fix them ourselves.

Guess we didn't do as good of a job as we thought.

[Oh, the John human.]

Have You Been Here Prior

[text]

[fireflyheir]

yeah
it seemed a lot nicer then, though!
it's kanaya, right?

[chainsawspistice]

Yes
And You Are The John Human
Should I Take Your Arrival Here As A Harbinger Of Jades Imminent Appearance As Well

[fireflyheir]

yeah, that's me!
uh… i don't know about that! i haven't seen her so far, but i haven't been outside yet
why do you say that, anyway?

[chainsawspistice]

Dave Then Rose Arrived Before You
If Youre Here Too It Only Stands To Reason That Jade Will Be Next Does It Not

[fireflyheir]

[moveslikestrider]

[text -> action]

[fireflyheir]

what, did you visit while i was out and not say anything? jerk.
but fine, i'll be there soon.

[the footprints make it pretty easy, and he waves when he spots Dave]

Hey! [with a glance at the pit] Okay, wow, that is pretty weird. How do you think it's doing that?

[text -> action]

[moveslikestrider]

what
no
were in a horror movie rip off
everyone got that shit

[Dave looks over his shoulder when he heard John and turns to face him.] Who the hell knows. Come take a look at this.

[He pads over and points to the words left for all of them 'what have you done'.]

[luke_triton]

You don't like the cold? I think snow is all right...

...And there've been worse things.

[video]

[fireflyheir]

It's not usually inside, though!

[pulling a face, and oh hey here's a jumper, finally.] Yeah, I've heard. It sounds pretty bad… but you got through okay? [You look younger than him…]

[video]

[luke_triton]

Yeah. I wish I could get away from it when I want to sleep.

[Depends upon how old he is! Luke is a kind of scrawny shrimpy 13 but don't say that to him.]

It waah...well, it wasn't something I want to ever do again. Most of it. [Having a sisters and uncles and so much family was nice.]

[video]

[fireflyheir]

I… yeah. That… doesn't really sound like a good idea!

[…so Luke's probably a bit older than John. He might just nudge a bit more food Luke's way if the opportunity arises, but it might not.]

Yeah. So… what was the bit that was more okay?

[video] THAT ICON

[luke_triton]

[He already eats everything in sight.]

...It was okay...thinking the people here were all related and living here like it was home. I guess.
