1st Snowfall

Who: Everyone
Where: Everywhere
Summary: The first snowfall of the year!
Warning: Only if you hate snow and fun

After the (mostly) harmless chaos of Halloween, the city lies dormant for a few days in the aftermath. Otherworldly quests, demonic pranks, and of course, the continued threat of the 13th Hour has no doubt worn down both citizens and Visitors alike. It's time for a bit of R&R and good old fashioned fun. Early the morning of November 4th, the first snowflakes begin to drift gently to the ground as the weather eases gently into the winter months...

By the time the city awakens, a light dusting of snow already lies upon the streets. Responsible citizens emerge to shovel the walkways, but it's soon evident that their efforts are of little use. The snowstorm, though not fierce, continues unabated throughout the day and by early afternoon, a good foot of snow covers Hinoto-Ri. Most have given up on accomplishing anything useful, preferring to wait out the storm, and the majority of shops and businesses unceremoniously remain closed.

The weather clears enough by 2PM to become the perfect atmosphere to enjoy a day off. Laughing children emerge to hold snowball fights in the middle of the streets, snowmen and sleds appear all over Capricorn, and the general atmosphere is congenial, relaxed, and soothing. Feel free to participate in the games or simply to sit with your friends by a cozy fire, playing board games or reading books or drinking a mug of cocoa. If you're particularly altruistic, you may even get a jump start on shoveling off the streets. The first snowfall is always a magical time of year. You almost can't help the feeling that it's... too peaceful.

"Hm, a bit less extensive than the black Carapace but I understand the concept." He looks at the bracer for a moment, wishing he had a mechanicus adept to analyze it.

"You're new, then." He says, more of a statement than a question, really.

"Came here by way of Geartopia. I placed myself in medical quarantine until quite recently, making sure I wasn't a carrier for anything that could harm the population."

Slight pause.

"If you mean my actual age, I'll be 22 in three months."

"I remember that place. Bandit-hunting."

To him, that was really the extent of it, and when mentioning the medical quarantine he shrugs.

"Seems like a reasonable precaution."

"Ah, I'm somewhere in the realm of 200 years old, myself."

Sarah just...gapes. The oldest man in the Den was the last remaining first-gen God Eater, and he was only 62.

"...two...hundred?"

"Yes." He looks at her with his strangely ageless face, seemingly about 30 by most human reckoning, only the battle scars suggesting an older age than that.

"Please excuse my reaction...the oldest person in the Den is 62, a veteran that survived countless battles. I'm not sure how to react."

"I've found your reaction to be pretty standard from mortals, honestly." He says, sounding slightly tired.

"...it gets old, doesn't it? I'm sorry."

"More repetitive." He shrugs. "Nothing to be sorry for, you didn't know."
