Color me curious, my fellow captives! The holiday season may be over, but it's still very much winter. What winter-like activities were your favorite back home? Playing in the snow? Curling up in blankets? Drinking something warm and delicious? If you feel like sharing, I'll listen!

[She's looking for any distraction she can get--January hasn't been a good month for her in a long, long time. This is something more obvious in person, however. Should her roommates interact with her or someone ask to hang out, it'll really seem like something more is on her mind.]

[Underneath a pair of dark sunglasses is a huge purple bruise. He got smacked in the face with a robotic arm. It's all part of the job, folks. Nothing to see here.]

Skiing and snowboarding. Preferably, skiing. If I were to choose my climates, I would rather be surfing, flying kites, para-sailing, hang gliding, golfing or jet skiing. I like the warmer weather.

[skirtcladgunner]

[She doesn't question the bruise. At least not yet, because she sees no reason to.]

So you're a sporty sort of guy, huh? [Laughs a little.] I agree with you on the warmer weather. It's much better, isn't it? There are a few things I like cold weather for, though.

[It's a pretty good excuse to drink a boatload of coffee and hot chocolate, for instance.]

[video]

[vaudevil]

Oh, I can certainly think of a few things as well, but if I were to say it openly I would be censored.

[He smirks.]

Yes, I am the sporty type and I do like my coffee dark and sweet.

[Sam answering these videos was still quite rare, but he's feeling homesick and the question brought back memories.

He has a small smile on his face as he spoke] When snow lay on the ground and no one could rightly work we'd all go to the inn, tell stories of Winters past and sing. What about you, miss?

[video]

[skirtcladgunner]

Stories and singing... that sounds nice.

Me? Well, I would usually play in the snow with my sisters and my friends. After a while of doing that, we'd go back in and have some warm drinks. Usually hot chocolate, but as we've all gotten older it's become a little varied between us.

[undroppedeaves]

That sounds fun. I must say I'm quite interested by the other worlds that people are from.

Answering stupid questions.

[video]

[skirtcladgunner]

Well, aren't we a ray of sunshine?

[video]

[redheadcarrier]

Well, it's raining all the time, so why bother trying to change that?

[Video]

[keep_smiling]

Snowball fights! Oh, and sledding. And skiing.

[Video]

[skirtcladgunner]

Snowball fights and sledding are tons of fun, I agree! But I've never tried skiing...

[sayonara_baby]

Huh. We didn't have a ton of snow back at the Foundation, seeing as how it'd require cleanup. But we did have an indoor ice rink. And hot chocolate's always good.

[skirtcladgunner]

Foundation?

Hot chocolate is always amazing, you mean. What sort of things did you do in the ice rink?

Tea tastes best during the cold seasons.

[forever video on her end]

[skirtcladgunner]

I agree, but I also think that goes for all warm drinks. But tea's especially good on those cold days where you're not feeling well!

[video]

[umadrobin]

Do you even need to ask?

[video]

[skirtcladgunner]

Maybe not, but it's not like I was just asking you.

Holing up in an inn, warm food delivered to my room, slipping out at night to practice, and reading one of the dozen books on military strategy I'd picked up but never gotten to read on the road.

...then there was the month in a tent with barely any food, snow up to my nose having buried the tent, and being very cold, which is why I appreciate the times I can do the first one as much as I do.

[Video]

[skirtcladgunner]

...yeah, I suppose that would make you appreciate it. I'm sorry you had to go through that.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... The blankets thing sounds nice, actually.

[skirtcladgunner]

The blankets thing is nice. You should try it sometime.

[arcanepower]

I hate winter. It's cold, wet, and unpleasant. And the goblins still try to rob you.

video;

[skirtcladgunner]

Can't say I can relate with that last part~ goblins don't exist in my world. [But other non-human beings do... including herself.]

video, and sorry for lateness;

[bittertears]

I'm afraid winter holds no fond memories for me.

also video, and no one is ever more late than me

[skirtcladgunner]

...oh. Man... I'm sorry to hear that, Alice.
