Oh, that's such a good point. We do have a box of them at the welcome center to give out. Mostly coats. Maybe I should announce that.

From:

Yeah, that's a good idea. I don't think this weather'll last for long, so maybe we could loan out whatever we have.

From:

No, probably not. Maybe a week at most. It did this last year too. It's strange to think I've been here so long I'm seeing yearly curses repeat themselves.

From:

How long have you been here?

From:

It will be two years in December. There are people who have been here so much longer like Cain, but I guess I'm over that new feeling I had for so long.

From:

I'll be here a year in just about a month, unless you count the times I don't remember. Billy's been here over two years now...sometimes it feels like I'll be here forever, even I don't know of anybody who's been here more than a few years.

From:

It is strange, isn't it? It seems like there should be some people who've been here ten years or twenty years especially in a city this size. Maybe I've just never met them. Or maybe it's not possible to stay longer than that. [She sounds disappointed at that thought.]

From:

Maybe the City only started gathering people kind of recently. Which I guess would mean the deities must have set up most of the stuff that was here. It doesn't really feel like something that was recently made, though. But I don't know how you'd tell, really...

From:

I'm not sure either. I wonder if the deities would give a clear answer on something like that. [She is...a little curious honestly. At least bout how they choose who stays and who goes.]

From:

I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask, but I personally don't like the idea of talking to the deities. I guess it's kind of silly, but I don't want them noticing me more.

From:

No, I understand. I haven't really spoken with them either or made any deals myself.

From:

Nah, that's what stores are for! You'd have to be a moron to let this opportunity pass!

From:

The opportunity for what, exactly?

From:

Snow fights in summer!

From:

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

It's tempting to use unfair advantages.

From:

No such thing! All's fair in war and—wait, which advantages.

From:

In aerial attacks especially. I, um, happen to be able to fly.

From:

Seriously?

From:

Yeah. I'm actually a shapeshifter so I can grow wings and stuff.

From:

Holy shit.

From:

—I bet you could shift into a shape with a hundred arms and make snowballs faster than anybody else too, huh.

From:

Not that many--I could probably kind of manage four, but it's hard to keep track of extra limbs.

From:

So you're not that far ahead.

From:

No, and anyway, one of my friends is super fast so I'd be behind in snowball making anyway.

From:

You'd have to land for ammo, too! Sounds pretty close, even if you get aerial attacks.

From:

Yeah, that's true. Though I might try to focus on easier targets.

From:

Like what?

From:

I'm not sure actually--a lot of my friends are pretty good at snowball fights.

From:

Makes sense to me. Never underestimate the power of people with only one form!

Since when has not having the proper attire stopped some people?
