It doesn't look like this winter's going to go away anytime soon, so I've got a question.

Any advice on how to keep a cold-blooded person warm aside from bundling her up layers upon layers of clothes until she sinks in the snow from the sheer weight of it? I think she'll have trouble moving after a while too.

She'll probably be okay but she got really cold in a winter-based amusement park attraction once. It's worrying. ( ´△｀)

[LOCKED from momo kisaragi;]
That aside the real reason I'm posting this is because I have no idea how to celebrate people's birthdays but my sister's is coming up next month (not that I'm not worried about you, friend).

She's never had a birthday party with friends before so I kind of want to get something together? Any advice would be nice and if anyone's friends with a MOMO KISARAGI, that's her. Her birthday's next month, so if anybody can drop by once it's planned or chip in...

I don't have a place yet either so ideas or offers on that would be nice. [He'd ask Flora or Kido if they could do it at their place but if it's planned right under her nose, even Momo would notice...]

Oh, yeah! She would. She's humanoid.

She's just... cold blooded.

[governorkang]

More humanoid than I am, then. Good luck.

[substitutable]

Thanks.

If I figure something out, you want me to message you too? What's your name?

[governorkang]

[He doubts there'd be anything large enough to fit him without alterations that'd mess up the heating technology, but why not?]

Kang.

[substitutable]

Kang, then. I'm Shintaro -- I'll remember, so if I find something that'll work for you I'll message you.

Who knows. Maybe there are some worlds where fire rats really exist.

[governorkang]

Well met, Shintaro.

[He doesn't know what the hell fire rats are, and it shows in his expression.]

Fire rats?

[substitutable]

They're from Chinese legends. Also shows up in a Japanese one called Princess Kaguya. They apparently don't burn in fire so I figured they'd be warm if you wore them.

[There is also a nerd knowledge factor here but he leaves that out. No need to add ***yasha in here.]

[governorkang]

Ah, that would be why they are unfamiliar to me.

[He only knows of several Korean legends. In the false life, his parents had hated the Japanese, not wanting anything to do with them, including their legends, and hadn't particularly cared about anything Chinese.]

[substitutable]

Different cultures, I'm assuming?

[governorkang]

You could say that.

[substitutable]

Which one are you most familiar with?

[governorkang]

From Earth?

[He hesitates slightly.]

Korean and American.

[substitutable]

... Oh! You're a mix.

What sorts of stories come from your country?

[governorkang]

No, I'm not from Earth. I simply know a good deal about it.

My country is only a few years old. My kind, less than fifty years.

[substitutable]

Fifty-- oh... wow.

That's really new. How... did that happen? If it's that recent and you can put a number to it, it can't be evolution.

[governorkang]

[He shrugs.]

Magic.

[substitutable]

... I'll buy that.

Magic. Sounds fair enough.
