[It seems Ezra has shacked up in the barrack's kitchen, planting himself firmly next to the fire with no intention of moving any time soon. He's got himself bundled up in his blanket, nothing more than his face visible under the folds.]

Okay. When it snowed at Vertiline, that was fine. It wasn't that cold and it melted really fast. This is just

[Commentlog ok?]

[culinarybeast]

[Tetsu just happened to be passing by the barrack's kitten when he heard someone speaking and oh hey, he knows that voice.

Here Ezra, have a totetsu peeking at you from around the doorway.]

[Commentlog heck yes.]

[fallintheriver]

[Who the heck is that? No one Ezra knows, surely.

He narrows his eyes, frowning at the intruder.]

Go away.

[Commentlog happiness]

[culinarybeast]

[Well, Tetsu didn't really have any intention of hanging around the kitchen today, but now...

He saunters in and leans against the nearest bit of counter he can reach.]

No.

[Commentlog]

[fallintheriver]

[Oh. Oh. He might not have recognized the face, but he recognized the voice.]

...If you try to eat me, I'll make sure I set you on fire before you manage it.

[Have a most concerned looking poltergeist, Ezra.]

Oh, god, Ezra... Winter last a few months in, like, normal conditions. Where are you? Are you in the kitchen??

[Video]

[fallintheriver]

Two months is too long. Change it.

[Does he care that this is a ridiculous request? Not at all.]

Yeah. The one in the barracks.

[bffpoltergeist]

[Liz's smile is patient and quite a bit sympathetic.]

I would if I, like, could, Ezra... maybe the winter here doesn't, like, last as long as it does in other places?

[Liz doesn't seem at all bothered by said request.]

Umm... just, like, stay by the fireplace, okay? I'll try to find some extra stuff to bundle you in...

[And she's going to do just that. Now, mind you, it takes a little while and no small amount of dedication to the cause, because she goes ghosty during the process. She makes her way to the clothier to find some winter wear before locating a few extra blankets that may or may not belong to other Keep residents.

Making her way to the barracks kitchen, she loses her grip on items left and right, having to stop and focus extra hard on behing solid and hoping it works. She lucks out and after a grueling amount of time in her mind, she arrives at the kitchen.

She peeks over the mountain of warm things...]

Ezra?

[Video ---> Commentlog]

[fallintheriver]

...thanks.

[As if Ezra was going anywhere. He's just going to sit here, toasty and warm, while Liz puts all her effort into making Ezra feel better. He'd be a lot more concerned about it if how difficult it was had managed to click in his brain.

But alas, this is Ezra, so it doesn't.]

Wow, you brought a lot.

[You're too good to him, Liz.]

[thenotmagician]

Alright, I'm comin', I'm comin'.

Don't catch yourself on fire or anything.

[fallintheriver]

I'm not going to. I'm not you.

[thenotmagician]

Oi! I'm not th'one standing next to a fire with a bunch'a blankets.

[fallintheriver]

I'm not that close.

[mutedmother]

[My goodness you look silly like that, Ezra.]

If you're really that cold, I could always see if I could get a few more blankets for you. Or maybe some warmer clothes?

[Audio]

[fallintheriver]

More anything is good.

[Ezra is going to end up making a next out of blankets or something by the end of this.]

[text-->commentlog]

[mutedmother]

Alright, give me a bit and I'll find you something.

[Jael heads over to the clothier's tower and manages to scrounge up some pants and some long-sleeved shirts that look like they might be warm enough.

Eventually she shows up in the kitchens, looking around for Ezra.]

[Commentlog.]

[fallintheriver]

[Oh hi, Jael! Ezra is over here, under his pile of blankets. She may notice that it has grown substantially since he first posted whining about the cold.

He waves her over, not that he's easy to miss.]

What did you get me?
