Date & Time: January 5th
Location: Snowsillium 
Characters: Gilbert Nightray  (retraced ), Kevin Cecil (heavenknowsthybutler)  and Xerxes Break (maddeninghatter)
Summary: Gilbert is sad in the snow. 
Warning: Gilbert’s life. Servant feelings. 

[The very thought of Mister Gilbert running around the city without his scarf or hat, impaired by a despair Kevin knows too well, is enough to cause him to take flight. From above, white wing flapping in the freezing wind like a sail, he navigates the afternoon’s blizzard and scours entire neighborhoods,  until he finally finds what he has been looking for: a black-clad young man, trudging aimlessly through the snow. 

Without missing a second, he nosedives and alights behind the human, just beyond his peripheral sight. Pressing a bundle of warm clothes to his chest and with snow up to his knees, he walks heavily until he reaches Gilbert’s side. His voice is barely audible across the howling wind:]
 

Mister Gilbert! Please, wait! 

Date & Time: January 1st

Date & Time: December 10th - 21st
Location: The Museum of Old and New(ish) Art
Characters: Xerxes Break and you. Information about and a map to the castle has been left in the Transporter Facility, so anyone interested in renovating a warm and secure (if weird) place to stay is welcome.
Summary: An eccentric billionaire’s 27th century medieval-replica castle/art museum/hotel lies abandoned and half-buried in the snow. It’s going to take a lot of work to renovate, but hey it’s more kid-friendly than a brothel. Right? Right?
Warnings: None.

The 1980's ski-wear themed snow suits Break brought back from this mission proved to be a hit with the local population (so stylish!), as were Mister Cecil's ugly Christmas sweaters, so they have been able to trade for goods and some technical services, to help make this place more livable. Supplies from the DITR have also been a great help. However, a lot of work needs to be done: cleaning and vermin-smiting and clearing away snow. Come and help, or simply explore.
