∞ 69: After the first heavy snowfall [written/action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Introductions, I suppose. I haven't written one in quite awhile. My name is Albert Silverberg, and I have been a resident in Luceti for over two years now. A welcome to our New Feathers; here's hoping the welcome center and other residents make captivity as hospitable as possible.

Blue Rogues, please keep an eye out for the abducted and any stragglers from this month's New Feather cycle. The snow may make it especially difficult to traverse the forest.

I suggest everyone take heed of this amount of snowfall and prepare accordingly. Extra blankets, warmer clothing, stockpiling in case of a blizzard. The weather hasn't been this cold in the past to warrant snow this early. Long-time residents may recall that we had great amounts of rain around this time in the past two years -- enough to affect the terrain with floods and severe erosion.

I was told that there was a young lady who would customize jewelry. I would like to speak with her if possible.

Perhaps we should resume our conversation in person. Will you be in the bar today?

[vaguely amused] Did I forget to mention your powers would be reduced in captivity? How careless of me.



[action]

[One may find Albert outside of house 42 if they are looking for him. Perhaps unsurprisingly, he's shoveling snow now that the snowfall has stopped.]

How very careless indeed. So unlike you.

[Off journal]

[chikaidestroyer]

Do be careful. Though you may be able to run from certain death here, it has a way of taking you by surprise.

Death has yet to come to me in far more years than you could ever hope to live.

Any relation to Odessa and Mathiu Silverberg by chance?

A pleasure to meet you either way.

[chikaidestroyer]

My first cousins, once removed; Leon is my grandfather.

A pleasure to meet you, Sir Blue Lightning.

[He'd be surprised, but then well, his name is well enough known.]

And obviously a normal member of your family since you know who I am without my saying so. Yeah, I knew Odessa quite well, so it is good to meet one of her family. A bit strange though, but I'm quickly getting used to how weird this place is.

[corrinesbell]

There's a way faster way to do that.

[chikaidestroyer]

[He pauses in his work to regard Sheena.] Is there now?

[action]

[corrinesbell]

Yeah. Want me to show you?

[You know, you wouldn't get your stalker brother in person today if it weren't for the fact that Yuber isn't something he wants to talk about on the journals. SIGH. So, also unsurprisingly, your brother is near as you work hard shoveling that snow! When did he get there? Who knows. Here's an awful attempt at starting conversation.]

So, how are you dealing with that little complication of yours?

[...not that he's expecting an answer, really.]

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Geez, stalker. The appearing out of nowhere bit is especially stalker-like. ...But Albert isn't surprised, of course. He has been waiting for this meeting for awhile. He doesn't look up from his work.]

Am I supposed to know what you are referring to?

[action]

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

[Wow. He was expecting something more along the lines of, "Caesar, get out." so this is different.]

I'm sure even you weren't filled with excitement when that demon jerk showed up.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

I will. Should I have a booth ready?

[Filtered]

[chikaidestroyer]

Please do. I would appreciate it.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Yessir. I look forward to seeing you.

[Oh. There's an Usagi a good ten/fifteen feet away, dressed warmly and pinkly, rolling up a nice sized snowball before chucking it at Albert.

She kind of hopes it hits, but it might fall short.]

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Well, it does hit, but it also doesn't make a neat mark. Albert blinks as the snowball hits his pants just above the knee, then looks over at the perpetrator.]

You might want to work on your aim, Usagi.

[Action]

[She gives a huff, and a little stomp of her foot, but then grins and stumbles on towards Albert.]

If it was frisbee, it would've been the perfect hit! Trust me! I'm amazing with frisbees!

So. What's with the shovel?

[Filter]

[bigbluehat.livejournal.com]

Albert? I'd like a word with you. Assuming you have time.

[Filter]

[chikaidestroyer]

Of course, Sasarai. [Like anyone is ever too busy in Luceti.]

[Filter]

[bigbluehat.livejournal.com]

It's about a recent arrival. Someone both you and I know.

And I need to know, if only for my own nerves, that measures are being taken.

[Raine will be at home whenever Albert finishes his errands for the day. As to where in the house she will be, it depends on the time he comes in.]

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Considering he's out and about meeting with people today, it will be quickly growing darker by the time Albert makes his way back to the house.]

[Voice]

[miamijustice.livejournal.com]

[...Well that's interesting.]

This weather is unusual?

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

It is. This is the first year we've seen snow this early. It's mostly been rain in the past.
