There may be people stranded in their houses by the buildup of snow. As this was very likely not the end of the snowfall, shorter winters or not, it would be beneficial to all of us to organize a group that can take over clearing the paths through the village and to the doors of houses and apartment buildings. This isn't a task one person should attempt alone, even using artes or this world's magic. There's just too much snow for that.

Please be aware of new arrivals, also, and the unstable conditions of the snow outside the village, particularly in the mountains.

[and she doesn't know how to phrase it, but she'd like to hear from her friends. The ones that weren't in the house with her, anyway]

I would gladly lend my aid to a group like that. I'm no stranger to shovelling snow, after all.

Neither am I. I haven't heard from any such group yet, but it might be best just to start with the roads most commonly used, to the stores and the clinic.

Indeed. If we start clearing out the snow now, others will be sure to follow our initiative soon enough.

Regal also agreed to help. Perhaps the two of you can coordinate something with each other?

That sounds like an excellent idea. Will you be starting work right away?

Well, I need to clear the way out of my house first.

Would you like some assistance?

More help is always appreciated. Luke and I will be working on it, but the more hands we have, the better. Thank you, Professor.

Then, I'll be there soon.

[OOC: Uh... New action thread? Jumping in on the old one? Just say the word.]

Very well. Please be careful.

[[ooc: I am away and doing all this from my phone. I can coordinate more tomorrow when I get back.]]</>

[A short while later, Gelda arrives outside Nephry's house. She's bundled up nicely against the cold and carrying a snow shovel. Let's get crackin'!]

[working at it a little on her own by this time. She's pretty tired from earlier]

[Gelda moves to stand next to her, shovel at the ready.]

Need a hand with that?

I could use one, yes. Thank you.

[Sticking the shovel into the snow, now. Time to clean up this path, or get exhausted trying. Most likely both.]

It's very nostalgic, isn't it?

It would be more nostalgic if I didn't still do this every week or so.

It must've become more of a rarity since arriving in Luceti, though.

...I'm not so ready to give less than a year ago over to nostalgia, then.

Mm, no... Perhaps not. And I'm fairly sure the snow will return to Luceti next year.

...With all due respect, Professor, I sincerely hope I am not here when it does.

[That may have stung just a little, but she understands the sentiment. It'd be selfish of her to wish Nephry would be stuck here much longer.]

Of course. In that case, Keterburg's snow awaits you.

[well, she also hopes Regal finds a way to enact his master plan. But that's harder to talk about]

Keterburg employs people to clean the roads.

If only we had those sort of people here, hm? It would certainly make our lives easier.

It might, in some respects, but I wouldn't wish this situation on anyone, especially for the sake of my own convenience.

Theoretically, it would be their job. Though, the matter of payment is void in Luceti, so I see your point.
