[Sun starts up the video feed and he’s all bundled up for winter. He’s got on a thermal shirt, and another large sleeve shirt. That and a big parka. No, Sun doesn’t do well in the cold at all. He’s sitting in the park at the moment with a hot chocolate in his gloved hands.]

So, I like the Holidays that come with winter and all. But can we skip over the cold weather? No one would mind, right?

[A big bird lands behind him and caws. Sun sighs and looks back to it.]

Yes, I know you would mind. But you are basically winter incarnate so..your opinion doesn’t get to count. [The bird caws again, sounding like it disagrees with its opinion not getting to count.]

So is anyone else here totally against the cold or is it just me?

It's not just you! I don't like the cold either.

Well - it's kind of nice to curl up in a nice warm blanket with some cocoa or tea - and the fresh fallen snow certainly looks pretty...

Ah, but if it comes down to preferences, I like the spring and summer best!

[ She giggles a little at the bird. ]

What kind of bird is that?

[monkeystowaway]

Someone else that has great tastes in seasons. I'd take spring and summer all year if I could! Though the snow does look really nice..if it could exist without it being so cold, then it'd be perfect.

[He knows it's about time for snow to start hitting the ground too.]

It's an Articuno from when the Pokemon were here. It's kind of a rude bird.

[ She laughs, nodding in agreement. ]

You can say that again! I could really do without the cold. My partner on the other hand, is -never- cold. [ She grouses playfully. ] It's really annoying sometimes.

Rude? Do you mean like someone taught him --or her -- words like parrot owners like to do?

[youfool]

If it's not just you, it ought to be. To dismiss the artistic significance of an entire season out of discomfort. Youth ought to be hardier than that! (joked the 21 year-old)

[monkeystowaway]

Hey! I'm plenty hardy! Winter is just not a very nice season. It doesn't let me dress like I want. If it changes, I won't dismiss it.

[youfool]

Oh, I don't know. Fully dressed is a good look for you. Indeed, it convinces one of the sobering and civilizing effects of cold. Like a cold shower. You'll likely emerge from this coercive hibernation a new man; perhaps studying law, or accounting.

[deadly_belladonna]

I noticed it seems a little extra on the chilly side this year.

We have some portable heaters that the shelter doesn't need if you'd like me to bring you one. It keeps the room a nice 80 degrees.

[monkeystowaway]

You're going to make it so I can stay out of my shirt if you bring that home.

[deadly_belladonna]

Isn't that your more comfortable element though?

[Yukiko appeared on the feed, next to her her own pokemon was around next to her simply watching. She looks like she was indoors herself.]

I don't find winter to be all that bad, I mean sure the cold is terrible but it has fun things to it as well if it snows.

[monkeystowaway]

I agree that the snow is pretty and nice, but I'd enjoy it a whole lot more if it wasn't cold. But we couldn't have snow without it being cold so..it's like a huge..what do you call them..paradox?

[firefandance]

I believe that is the right term. Also if you wear gloves you can always have snowballs fights. I've not actually done that myself, but I have heard they were fun.

I agree the cold isn't always nice. It's this time of year I usually spend inside a lot more.

[He use to do that a lot anyway, but there wasn't much to do during the winter months when it was so cold.]

Just find something fun to do and that might help.

video;

[monkeystowaway]

That might help. The most fun I usually have is going out on jobs. [Which he still has to do for money.]

I wonder what sort of fun indoor hobbies I could get, though.

video;

[sizedoesntmatter]

Well the easiest thing to do would be to playing games. Board games, card games and things like that.

[Fai can't help but smile all cat like for a moment. There was a reason for this.]

Don't like the cold, huh? What is the problem with it? I don't see a problem.

[He came from a very cold world, colder weather was something he was use to.]

[monkeystowaway]

I grew up in the desert. Winter wasn't really a thing for us. My first experience with it was when I first arrived here. There was an insane blizzard blowing through the place and let's just say I wasn't dressed for that sort of weather. Nearly froze to death.

[watercharm]

The cold isn't so bad once you get used to it.

[She pauses for a moment.]

I don't know about the other archways but are they all experiencing winter at the same time? Some worlds don't have winter.

[If it really bothers him he might see about moving for the season. Of course, Aqua doesn't know his living situation.]

Video

[monkeystowaway]

Yeah, I don't think I ever will. [And he's been here two years.]

Different weather patterns are in different places. But I live in Genessia City with the people from my world. It's not really so easy for me to pick up and relocate.

[Funny you should say that Sun, Troy is actually at home in his subarchway. The video shows Troy walking down a busy sidewalk of a futuristic city, with the light of the sun as bright as high noon. In the distance from where Troy was standing shows a beach, and streets built over a desert.]

You're not alone there, brother.

[Troy finds these videos to be a weird way of talking to strangers, but he figures he'll get used to it. It's just like the social media sites he's used to.]

Born and raised in a tropical country myself. The cold isn't so bad, but you can take a guy out of the tropics, but you can't take the tropics out of the guy.

[Video]

[monkeystowaway]

Exactly. It's not terrible enough that I can't deal with or survive in it. I just don't like it and wouldn't mind if we skipped the season. I was born in a place called Vacuo. It's a desert Kingdom in my world. So you can imagine what the heat was like around there. [Not exactly the tropics, but the weather was close enough.]

[whiteas]

It's just you.

[ Okay but that's a gorgeous bird. Why are all of Sun's friends basically amazing anyway??? Though in very different ways with the bird than with Neptune. ] Who's your friend?

video;

[monkeystowaway]

Well I knew you'd say that. [With as much as Weiss threw around ice, she must love the cold. And winter.]

That's Articuno. It's an ice Pokemon.

[respect_points]

[Someone else definitely shares your thoughts. She's in her home with a giant comforter wrapped around her.]

I'm okay with skipping cold weather.

[monkeystowaway]

Another person on the side of skipping the cold. [Blonds from desert countries have to stick together, you know!]
