[On a small snowdrift in town lies Grune, fast asleep. There's a bag full of various fruits set down nearby, so it seems as if she were shopping just before she laid down. She's definitely not dressed for this kind of weather, so it may seem as if she suddenly became exhausted and passed out before she could make it home

[What's this peculiar sight? A lady asleep in the snow~?

Edge is moving to get a closer look.]

[I felt this coming. Grune's still fast asleep. Nice outfit she's got on, don't you think, Edge?]

[Action]

[slickandskilled]

[As you should've He's kind of squatting down to look some more. A very nice outfit indeed.]

Hey, miss.

[forgetfulsister]

[Grune's a fairly light sleeper, but not that light. Try again, Edge. Maybe a little louder this time or something.]

[Time to send in one of the guys who's least likely to become entranced by Grune's chest. He was just passing by, dressed in a thick coat with not-quite-so-matching tartan scarf. He's trying to get some of the library books safely back to his apartment, which means they're wrapped in a bag for protection. Of course, one can't help but notice a woman lying fast asleep by the side of the road. In the snow.]

... Oh dear.

[forgetfulsister]

[Oh dear is right. Grune will just continue to be sleeping away for now.]

[aziraphail]

[Well, what kind of representative of Heaven would he be if he just left her there in the cold?]

Err.

[Not a very good one, that's what. Carefully placing the books beside him, he sinks to his knees and gives Grune a gentle shake]

... Excuse me, madam?

[action]

[forgetfulsister]

[Well, that was enough to get her to wake up. And wake up she does! After opening her eyes and sitting up, she gives him a friendly smile.]

Good morning!

[forgetfulsister]

[Oh, a voice she recognizes! But she's still in sleepy-time land for now. You'll have to be a bit louder if you want her to wake up, Senny.]

[Action]

[forgetfulsister]

[Congratulations, Senel, you've awakened Grune! You've earned 0 EXP and 0 Gald.

Anyway, she opens her eyes and sits up, smiling over at him.]

Oh, hello, Senel!

[So, Norma is walking around the town looking for Grune because where are my damn fruits? I mean she's worried and knowing the older women might forget. Anyway, she eventually finds her on the ground]

Oh G-Girl...

[Action]

[forgetfulsister]

[G-Girl is totally asleep. Hey, at least the fruit won't spoil.]

[Action]

[nicknaming]

Hey, time to wake up! Stay any longer and you'll catch a cold! [Poke, poke]

[Action]

[forgetfulsister]

[Poking and a rise in volume does indeed awaken the Grunenator. She opens her eyes, sits up, and smiles at Norma.]

Hello, Norma!

[divinepooch]

[Here comes a wolf who fits in perfectly with the snow. She steps up to Grune and sniffs at her, then nudges her shoulder lightly.

Welp. Dead person is dead. Let's see what fruit we can take.]

[forgetfulsister]

[... hey ): Anyway, that nudge managed to snap Grune out of her little nap, so she opens her eyes and sits up, smiling over at the wolf. Dog. Animal. Yes.]

Oh, hello!

[divinepooch]

[Dead person is alive! Okay, she's getting her nose out of that bag of fruit and taking a few steps back while wagging her tail lightly.]

[forgetfulsister]

[Awww, it's wagging its tail at us! She gets up and walks closer to her, leaning over slightly.]

My, you're very pretty. Can I pet you?
