[ It's midway into dinner preparations when Alf opens the journal for some noise; it's shortly after when he decides to do small talk. ]

It snowed again, today. Maybe it's just me, but there's something about the blanket of white that calms the mind. Not to mention, you can do a lot with all that snow.

Is everyone enjoying the weather?

[consultmybooks]

Yes, you can do a lot with snow. [You can turn it into ice to attack people with and distract your victims, for one. Giles still isn't entirely okay with this bit of knowledge] I'm a fan, personally. We almost never got it back home.

[hakoiri]

[ . . . Wow, Giles! Alf's response is a tad delayed, as he takes a second to decide that he should behave casually. Even if there's a lot of explaining to do.] Ah, Giles.

Neither did the Empire. It's a shame, considering how nice snow can be.

[consultmybooks]

[There is explaining to do. And Giles will do it.

...in a few minutes. Once he sees whether or not he's in trouble.] Oh, it's absolutely wonderful. Best if you can see it late at night or early in the morning, of course, before everyone goes walking on it. Then there's ice.

[hakoiri]

[Ditto, so hard.]

I couldn't agree more. It looks its softest before it's stepped on. [Oho, ice.] Do you like the ice much, as well?

[Voice]

[crisis_rain]

How can anyone be possibly enjoyin' this weather?! If there's a lot ya can do with, give me some examples.

[Voice]

[hakoiri]

I take it you're not one for the cold.

Well, you can build figures and throw snowballs at each other. Fun activities, mostly.

[Voice]

[crisis_rain]

Ya can do fun activities without snow as well! What benefits does it have, other than the fact it'll keep yer food cold? None, none at all.

[Voice]

[hakoiri]

[ There's low chuckling on his end. ]

You really don't like the cold, do you? To each his own, indeed.

[gardenerofgaia]

Clean snow is beautiful. Though...I'm not quite sure what to do with it all...! We have an awful lot.

[hakoiri]

It really is . . . Wasn't someone making snowmen? I imagine most of the snow will be put to some kind of use, sooner or later.

[gardenerofgaia]

Oh, yes! They were hard to miss over here. My building got surrounded, there were so many. I think I'd rather make snow angels.

[hakoiri]

As was mine. [ That's because you two live in the same building, Alf. ] Snow angels, huh? They'd look less . . . morbid, that's for sure.

[voice]

[risingwinds]

I know I am. It's my first time seeing snow up close, and it'd been a lot of fun so far.

[voice]

[hakoiri]

Is it really? I'm glad to hear you're having a good time. Have you done anything with the snow, yet?

[voice]

[risingwinds]

Yup! I've been building a couple of things in the snow. It's been fun so far.

[voice]

[hakoiri]

I imagine it must've been, especially when this is the first time you've made actual contact with snow.

Hm, have you had a snowball fight?

[Voice]

[oda_hates_me]

There's more to snow than throwing it? [No, really, Sanji's honestly intrigued as to what these other uses of snow are]

[Voice]

[hakoiri]

[ Ffft, Sanji, what does that question say about you as a person. ]

Of course. It's popular sport to throw it at each other, but you can also use it for decorative purposes, like making snowmen and snow angels.

[Voice]

[oda_hates_me]

[That he's a beast in snowball fights.

And amused snort]

So play in it.

... Or eat it, if you're in the mood.

[Voice]

[hakoiri]

[ Violent person.

Alf, on the other hand, chuckles lightly. ]

Essentially. It's what makes Winter a fun season. And you can eat it, though I wouldn't suggest it.
