[Guess who's stuck at the lab when the snowstorm hits the heaviest? Luckily, he's grabbed his heaviest snow jacket that he could find here after seeing the announcement in the papers but...he glances outside at the howler outside then shakes his head]

Of all the things, and here I thought I would have a chance to sort out some of these case files--

[He looks up when the lights start to flicker]

No. No-no-no-no-no-ah!

[And it goes dark. Except for the glow of his communications device]

...if anyone is stuck near Genessia PD's station, I think we're allowed to offer shelter until proper transportation is arranged. I'll need to check with the Captain to be sure.

I'm tucked away at home but yes I'm going to worry Barry!

[commanderspecs]

I'm fine! I have my jacket and-and I think we're okay in here.

[redarrowqueen]

At work still? I could venture out to help but you'll be after me for even thinking about it.

[commanderspecs]

You are still recovering.

[Here. See this? This is an accusatory finger, young lady]

You should not be out in that storm at all. Not without at least, several layers of clothing.

[redarrowqueen]

[Thea throws up her hands in defeat but a tiny smile does escape, she and Barry have basically become brother and sister.]

You win! I'll stay home and make chili.

[commanderspecs]

That actually sounds perfect for this weather.

[redarrowqueen]

How many alarms? [But Thea's smiling.]

And in other news I have some leads on a job finally.

[commanderspecs]

Thea.

What kind of leads?

[redarrowqueen]

Events Coordinator for the museum in Nova City to name one.

[commanderspecs]

Events Coordinator? That would be interesting and certainly better than bartender.

[redarrowqueen]

Total step up right?

[commanderspecs]

If you had worked at Verdant before, this should be a walk in the park for you.

[redarrowqueen]

Just a step up from booking bands and DJ's right?

[commanderspecs]

Isn't...isn't it the same thing?

[redarrowqueen]

Somewhat.

[commanderspecs]

When do you find out?

[redarrowqueen]

Pretty soon hopefully.

Is everyone okay there? I can make my way over there if you need anything. My boyfriend has a Pokemon that's literally a legendary snow bird and I have a number of Pokemon adept to handling these conditions, so we're making our way around to help newcomers, but if there's anything you need at the police station I'm sure we can make our way there.

[ And if the ice team can't help, she's got Arcanine with her as well to help melt snow. ]

[commanderspecs]

Things seem to be okay, ma'am. Just without power for now. I'm sure it'll kick back on in a second.

...What's a pokemon?

[whiteas]

They're basically sentient animals with super powers. Periodically a bunch show up and you can catch them and they'll protect you and be your friend as long as you make sure they're well fed and cared for.

[commanderspecs]

We just had dogs and cats on my Earth...fish, birds, and the like.

[whiteas]

Mine had those, and monsters called Grimm. These ones are pretty great, and you can work with them whether you've got abilities or not, so they're very useful for protection as well.

[commanderspecs]

And they just...are they in the pet shops here?

[whiteas]

No. They just sort of appear about once a year. I'll show you mine sometime, if you'd like.

[commanderspecs]

Perhaps later. I'm just trying to wrap my head around...everything, really.

[whiteas]

Obviously later. I can't exactly help people in a blizzard if I'm showing off my Pokemon. Which I should get back to.

[commanderspecs]

Right. Of course. And I'll hold down the fort here.
