[Closed] Trails of Snowed In

Who: Trails House Residents + Visitors
When: Deceuer 6th - 10th, during the snowstorm
Where: Trails House
What: Snowed in!
Warnings: Will mark as necessary

It was safe to say that the Zemurian house was always lively, but the heaviest day of snowfall was particularly so. Everyone was home, and some had invited some friends over for dinner or socializing. It was too late before they realized just how heavily they were snowed in, and that they'd be stuck together for awhile. Best to make the most of it!

With all these people, at least it was a roomy house. There was:
  • The Main Floor which has a living room with a functional fireplace, kitchen (half stocked with useful cooking ingredients and half with "random things the other roommates thought would be cool"), a dining room, and the music room that's been transformed into Elliot's bedroom - because of course it has.
  • The Second floor which houses Towa, Crow, Machias, and Fie's bedrooms. Some of these rooms have a worrying amount of weapons, try to guess which. There is also a spare bedroom with a full sized bed, for any guests. Too bad you'll probably need to share.
  • The Attic, which was Rean's room and made up to be comfortable for a harpy. Shiny things are all over the place, and the bed is more like a nest of blankets.
  • The Basement which contains Randy and Lloyd's rooms. Coincidentally, this is the easiest place to find dirty magazines in the house.
  • The Cellar, which houses any alcohol that hasn't been drunken already, as well as a 200lbs wild boar carcass. Lovely.
  • And lastly the Courtyard which is...covered in snow. What else did you expect.

  • Make yourself comfortable or try to make a break for it. It's gonna be a long storm.

    Not at all— if anything, I still owe you for all the times you’ve taken care of me.

    [Several times she’s been able to come to him and he’s taken good care of her. And it wasn’t just her either. Elliot was always looking out for them and making sure they were safe. It only feels fair that they should return the favor.]

    I’m just glad you like it.

    Then we can just call it even.

    [That’s something they can agree on.]

    He’s been a huge help. It would be nice if he stopped over more often. I wouldn’t mind having his help to finish the menu for Crow’s party, but I’d feel bad asking him to come to that party.

    Heehee. You’re probably right. He acts cool and collected, but if she asked, I’m sure he’d come. The two of them are really cute together.

    [She can’t deny that she’s rooting for them.]

    I was pretty surprised when we suddenly found out she had two other bonds-- but she's made some really wonderful friends.

    [They're both strange and-- well, somehow they really just seem like they all belong together.]

    ...speaking of friends, I um. Saw yours, earlier. In the oven. With a bunch of pointy objects.

    [It had been. Quite the surprise.]

    Me too.

    [You could really tell that the support of her new friends has already done a lot of good for her here.]

    Eheheh... don't worry about it. I'm sure he'll be fine. [Although...] Does he always hoard weapons though, or should I be worried?

    Eheheh... I thought so. I'm just glad that's all it is.

    [As long as he doesn't use a knife to dig a tunnel out in search of freedom it's probably fine.]

    Just... try to ask him to leave me at least one knife in the kitchen to cook with.

    [She's teasing but-- also maybe 20% serious.]

    Unless he counts anything that might give you a paper cut, I think I’m safe there.

    [Although she supposes she’ll save maintenance on her orbal gun until after they can get out again. She can’t afford to potentially lose any pieces.]

    [Oh my god.]

    ...we should probably warn Machias too, in that case.

    [He'd probably be a bit more angry than she would. Even if she'd be pretty sad to lose some of the books she's collected.]

    It would almost defeat the point of trying to save on gifts for the holidays if we had to replace Machias' collection of books.

    [Because let's be real, he probably has even more than Towa does.]

    ...and I'd rather not see him try to pick a fight with a dragon that has a collection of knives and other pointy things...

    [If the gun comes out, their house is doomed.]

    Eheheh, that's terrible...

    [But now that she's pictured it, she can't un-see it in her head.]

    I don't know that the house is ready for a new rivalry like that. Don't forget that Machias dooooes technically know how to use magic with his gun now.

    I'd like to think so too, but--

    [Machias might be the one person that reminder might help.]

    Well, luckily the books I was using the most are at the guild right now, so they're safe.

    [Not that she wants her books to become dragon hoard fuel but.]
