a hawk in training;

There's something the residents here should know, especially if you weren't here last year.

Last year, Adstringéndum experienced a two-and-a-half-month period of blizzards, and waist-high, if not more, snow levels. Naturally, it would make gathering supplies and doing other mundane tasks extremely difficult, if not outright dangerous.

People had made proper preparations. However, all winter shops and winter wear outright disappeared during this time. Everyone was missing some article of clothing from their wardrobe, leaving the residents with nothing but light autumn wear and summer clothing.

While it's doubtful the Animus or whoever did it will do it again this year, it would be best to prepare as if it were alongside with regular winter preparations. Find residence if you don't have one. Request help with repairs even if you're going to stay there temporarily. Hawke's offered to help with that here.

........

On a completely different note, anyone have suggestions for Halloween?

[The following is added a few minutes later.]

Additionally, there are those within Adstringéndum that have the ability to manipulate the elements. Fire, ice, lightning, etc. If you need help during the winter to clear snow or whatever to make conditions more bearable, keep in mind you can call on these people too.

[When the feed starts, Hinamori's room in the clinic can be seen. Part of it, anyway. Part of Hinamori's bed is also in view, as well as Sasuke and Hitsugaya.

Except, Hitsugaya's sound asleep. Sasuke looks exhausted, himself, but it doesn't look like he's going to sleep anytime soon. Sasuke glances down at the sleeping shinigami resting on his shoulder and can't help but smile a little. Carefully, very carefully, Sasuke moves and wraps an arm around Hitsugaya's shoulders, giving him a slightly more comfortable place to sleep.]

'Bout time you got some rest, Toushirou.

[The feed times out.]

[The feed clicks on and Sasuke can be seen trying to climb out of bed. He's got Mouko and Pumpkin on him, and he's obviously in pain trying to get out of bed. He's ignoring it, though, brushing the cats aside and missing both.]

C'mon, guys, lemme get up and look for nii-san...

[He touches down on the floor the same instant the cats leap down from the bed. He carefully pushes off of the bed and tries to walk, only... to trip over Mouko and fall to the hard floor. On his right side. Good job Sauce!]

Ow...

[Mouko gives a mewl while Pumpkin sits innocently not far away. Shadow's off sleeping by Naruto, sleep-chewing his hair.

The feed times out as Sasuke's picking himself up.]
