Notice:

Due to the falling temps the bar, "Sergei's II" on Floor 38, will be closing.

Due to the falling temps weapons training and fighting lessons on Floor 39 will be closing for the "winter."

Feels like a Jason month, folks. Brace yourselves.

[There will be notices posted up at the bar and Floor 39 for characters who don't view the network often. They will be up there for about a week before they disappear.]

[A bar..Tohko was pretty lucky to have found this. She needed a bottle of wine for someone's Christmas present.]

Erm..pardon me, but will you be able to spare a bottle of wine? I know your bar is closing, but I'll still pay! I don't have any money..and nor is the stuff very useful, but I can help out in the bar when it reopens, if you need help with that, or do something else as payment!

..It's going to be a Christmas present for a friend, so it would be nice if you could spare a bottle.

Sure thing, but the only thing I have right now is Island Berry wine and that's more like vodka.

I'm looking for blankets or sweaters if you want to trade.

[tohko_amano]

[Vodka for her blankets. Tohko thought for a moment before responding. After all..she didn't have any sweaters, and she really needed her blankets. After all, the temperature wasn't improving at all.]

..How about this: I make you a thick blanket or a cloak, and you give me the Island Berry wine when I'm finished.

Re: [Text]

[midgarhorizon]

Works for me. You can have it now if you want.

[Text]

[tohko_amano]

Ah, thank you very much! I'll do my best to finish it up quickly..you'll need it if the temperature gets any worse. And if it's not too much trouble, I would like it now.

[midgarhorizon]

If you want to give me your room number I'll deliver it when I go back to the dorms.

[Text]

[tohko_amano]

Oh, sure. I'm in room 1-09, and I'm the bed in the far left corner. Your cloak should be done in about two days, if my sowing skills haven't deteriorated.

[Not that they were any good to begin with, but Tohko is going to try her hardest to make sure that she doesn't make any mistakes.]

So, when the cloak is finished, where should I deliver it?

[midgarhorizon]

2-12

Thanks

[He'd wear it even if it looked awful, because he was just not built for the cold.]

[Text]

[tohko_amano]

Oh, no problem! Thank you so much for your help!

[Tohko could deal with the cold, but temperatures this low were terrible..and if they got even lower, than she was going to run into some problems.]

[Text]

[midgarhorizon]

No prob. Just don't drink it while the cold's going on.

[And she'll find her bottle of wine on her bed. With a little ribbon tied to it.]

[Text]

[tohko_amano]

Oh, you don't have to worry about that. I'm not planning on drinking it. I'm underage, and it's going to be a Christmas present for a friend. Besides..drinking during the cold will just numb you to it. You won't be able to tell if you need blankets or not. I'd like to keep all my fingers while I can.

[And Tohko will be happy to see that the wine was delivered and that he cared enough to tie a ribbon around it. It shall be stored in the trunk, and Tohko will start working on that cloak, which will be put in Reno's trunk in two days, along with a thank-you note.]

shit
just when i could use a drink too

[midgarhorizon]

Wouldn't do you any good in this weather.

Re: text

[puppy_lancer]

it would've warmed me up
for a moment at least

[midgarhorizon]

Are you crazy? Survival 101: if lost in the snowfields don't drink because it makes you lose heat fast. Real fast. Faster than if you didn't drink at all.

Re: text

[puppy_lancer]

red branch 101
when it's snowing chug down some whiskey
and it feels just like you're indoors
besides, you move faster if you can't feel the cold

text

[midgarhorizon]

Sure, you feel warmer but you're going to freeze faster. Don't come whining to me if you get into my stock. I'll just say "I told you so."

Re: text

[puppy_lancer]

nah i can't freeze to death

got anything other than alcohol lying around
shit like blankets or clothes?
because quite a few guys here might be willing to kill to get that sort of thing

text

[midgarhorizon]

Nice try.

Re: text

[puppy_lancer]

being serious here
stuff's not for me
for someone else.

text

[midgarhorizon]

Sorry Lancer. In the market for that stuff myself. I got two little ones to look out for this month.

Re: text

[puppy_lancer]

only one on my end
good luck with your kids

Who is this "Jason"? I've heard the name mentioned before.

[text;]

[midgarhorizon]

Tower Admin. The kind of person you want to keep your head down and avoid eye contact with at all cost.

[text;]

[notayoungkitten]

I see.

Thank you for the information.

[text;]

[midgarhorizon]

Any time.

[There's a delay of about an hour between this response and her last.]

When the training center is reopened, I am willing to give my services. I have decades of experience with firearms.

Ask for Ocelot.

[midgarhorizon]

I'll keep it in mind. Can't hurt having more instructors.
