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.

[Filtered to Guy]

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

[Off-journal means of communication to Yuber]

[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.

Any relation to Odessa and Mathiu Silverberg by chance?

A pleasure to meet you either way.

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

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

A pleasure to meet you, Sir Blue Lightning.

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

I am quite aware of that.

[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.

Then you can be assured that death will not take me by surprise.

I should ask, is there anything else which you may have conveniently forgotten about?

Nothing that you wouldn't be able to find if you were to inconvenience yourself with reading.

There's a way faster way to do that.

I got rather bored trying to read that thing.

[He read about one paragraph of the guide, got bored, put journal away. Raine's writing is just far too orderly.]

It is quite a strange set of circumstances to see others from one's world, but from different points in time. Those from our world seem to be stretched over a number of years, unlike some other groups.

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

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.]

I was noticing that. Even some I knew during the war between Highland and the City-State are from before that. But all of us seem to be from some time when there was a war, so maybe that is a factor?

[He should probably be suspicious. She's smiling a lot. But he gestures; he's not really big on snow-shoveling.]

Please do. I'd appreciate it.

[hang onto your hat]

Okay then. Cyclone Seal!

[look at all the whirly snow! But once the mini blizzard dies down, the path is clear. Albert may be a little covered, though]

[Mini blizzard is definitely an apt description. Albert has to cover his face as he's quite literally smacked by flying snow. His hair, shoulders, and front are lightly covered in the white debris.]

...Well. That was efficient.

There isn't more to explain, then. I'm sure you will discover your constraints as you explore. [And he's referring to the journeying constraints.]

Got your snow cleared, didn't it?

[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?

[He has to brush at the snow all over him. But he's bemused for sure.]

It certainly did. Thank you, Sheena.

If you refer to that rather annoying barrier, I already found it. Far more annoying than that barrier in Alma Kinan.

Sure, no problem. And hey, you make a great snowman.
