The strange memory loss, immediately followed by a holiday, has probably left everyone a little out of sorts. ...Though the holiday itself was quite enjoyable. I'm afraid I never caught an explanation of it, however; if anyone has the spare time, I would like to hear one.

That said, I feel it would be useful for everyone to have a reminder of the dangers of this weather. I understand that winters here are approximately the same length as all of the other seasons, and I'm sure those of you who have been here for longer periods of time are accustomed to the use of warmer clothing that does not retain much water. I also know that there are worlds and people who have never met with conditions like these at all, and the dangers of overexposure are certainly severe enough to warrant informing them about proper winter-weather preparation.

Of particular importance are those who are returned from the Malnosso in poor conditions. They have no control over where or how they are returned, or whether or not they have any means of communication. I understand there are organized groups who search the usual locations for anyone coming back from a kidnapping. If it is not being done already, perhaps those groups should carry supplies such as an extra coat or blankets, until the season changes.

It seems my headache wasn't just from memory loss after all. I believe I may be ill. ...There is little I can do about it.

[[ooc: ...Wow, when she gets going she really gets going. I didn't anticipate winter doing this to the muse, hehe]]

I can think of few better suited to warn against the dangers of winter than you, Nephry.

You could have done it.

[she doesn't remember his return but it's been days now so no double-takes here]

I wouldn't have asked His Majesty or Saphir, though. ...And with everything that's happened lately, I thought I might as well.

Not at all. I've been living in Grand Chokmah my entire adult life, after all.

You never forget anything.

There are actually people here from worlds that don't have snow?

[written]

[silversnowfall]

Or at least from parts of their world that do not, in much the same way as 'summer' here was far warmer than Keterburg.

If they're simply from a part of their world where it doesn't snow, they should already understand the concept, though.

The concept, but not the realities.

An explanation? Alright, I'll give it a shot.

About 2000-some years ago, this guy was born. Some bigshot or something like that and said that everything'd be better it we all got along. So they killed him. But he came back to life and now on the anniversary of his death, he comes back from his secret home on Titan or something to give toys to the kids who did their best not to be like the jerks that killed him.

...That's...a very interesting premise for a holiday.

Ain't it just?

I heard that Christmas was about a very important man on Earth who wanted people to love and be kind to each other. Maybe that's where the presents part came from?

[silversnowfall]

That's preferable to the other explanation I received. ...We could use more people who desire kindness.

Does it get much colder than this? As it is, it isn't much colder than my home, but there does seem to be more snow.

[silversnowfall]

Here? I'm not certain. I've only been here about six or seven months.

[msblackandblue.livejournal.com]

I see. It is remarkable how similar the weather here is to my home world. Before coming here, I would not have thought another Universe would be habitable.

It's getting hard to stay warm inside.

[silversnowfall]

These houses aren't designed to distribute the heat from the fireplace well.

[emp3thy]

Not really, no.

[And here's cute little Anise, coming into where Nephry is with a bowl of nice, hot soup!]

Hi, Nephry!

[silversnowfall]

[sorry Anise. This governor's dozing at her desk, with her head on her folded arms]

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

[Oh. Well, that's no good. Anise steps into her room quietly, and sets the soup down on her desk.]

Hm~ Should I wake her up...?

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

You're sick?

[silversnowfall]

[hacker]

It's just a cold.

Are you sure?
