013: snowmaggedon, snowpocalypse, whatever you want to call it

[hawkeyeiowa]

[Back home, Iowa, like most states in the 2,500 mile snowstorm line, have been completely thrashed by waves upon waves of blinding snow. Sure, this winter has been harsh, and the Plains states tend to get plenty of snow, but this is particularly bad. Iowa already had to report that every major highway had ice and snow on it. Snowfall records are

[ There's a knock on the door. Sven figures he better talk to Jack after all the all the incidents. Besides, they hardly ever talk and he does worry about him every now and then. He would have brought hot cocoa with him, but sadly this little drink thing has limited him a lot. ]

[hawkeyeiowa]

[He had been thinking the same thing before, and part of him is still a little ashamed for what he thought after he saw Sven dead. Even so, what better time to talk then when you literally have nowhere to go?

And, he can understand. He had hot cocoa saved for a day like this. Way to go for terrible timing.]

Uh, come in?

[lakesyaknow]

[ He makes his way in with slight hesitation ]

Hey Jack! Heard about yer little snowpocalypse... I just wanted to check on ya.

[hawkeyeiowa]

[Both he and his dog stretch out to look over at Sven. Jack raises an eyebrow, moreso in surprise. Mitch just rolls onto his back and yawns. They're a good pair.]

Oh, thanks. Heard ya got plenty, too. [He looks back at his dog, nudging him a little. Mitch doesn't seem to notice at all.] Wanna sit down? I'll push the behemoth off the couch.

[lakesyaknow]

Nah, just around 5 inches. It's no big. And sure! I hope he doesn't mind...

[ He chuckles ]

I also came just to let ya know I'm not dead? ehheh...

[hawkeyeiowa]

Nah, he won't mind.

[He nudges Mitch again, who gets off the couch with a huff before going to lay down in the kitchen. Jack snorts and shakes his head.]

Weird dog... Anyway. [And then, the subject of the day.] Yeah... You're lookin', uh, better. [Starting off awkwardly. That's one way to do it.]

[lakesyaknow]

Y-yeah, wasn't planning on getting shot while my back was turned that day...

[ He takes his seat ]

want me to give ya the run down? or we can just talk...

[hawkeyeiowa]

Didn't think ya did.

[Jack keeps himself curled up in the cocoon o' blankets, his knees drawn up to his chest.]

Uh, might be best to hear it from ya. I didn't get the whole story. Everyone was freakin' out and Will was hangin' over ya like some Georgian awning or somethin'. Couldn't get more than a sentence outta him.
