[ the weather is . . . insane, at the moment, given the sudden shift in every single quadrant of the temple making it spring, summer, winter, and fall simultaneously. roy has steadily been ignoring it, focused instead on collecting information, and preparing for the inevitable next world jump.

that being said: ]

I hope this place picks one season, soon.

[ tiredly, as he shakes the snow out of his hair. someone has recently been through the snowy abyss that is the winter section of the temple. it looks like, from the background, that roy is in the kitchen area. the fire-brick oven is just behind him. ]

At any rate, we've recently lost a slew of members, and we need to regroup, and calculate who is missing, and who is still here. We had a successful trip, for the most part. [ ilde's meltdown excluded. ] Hopefully our good luck continues. I think we've all come to the agreement by now that this place can turn on a dime.

[ roy pauses, again, before his face settles into something a bit more somber. having been here since the very start, roy is used to this song and dance by now. it's only a matter of time before people are sent home, and he runs a hand through his hair, shaking out the last of the snow. ]

So. Who have we lost? And who is still here? And does anyone have any bets on what is coming next?

[ at the very least, roy is here to listen. ]

Fortunately, I had the foresight to stock up on a few essentials. When I spoke to Astoria once and suggested she give us time to pack before sending us to a world, she suggested keeping essential supplies close by at all times.

[Carrying a backpack around everywhere isn't the best, but better to do that and have water and food on her than risk a situation like the Horologium's food shortage again.]

Good advice, for the most part. No one knows how much exact power she has over her own skills.

[ roy has taken to keeping a small pack around himself, but nothing is perfect, and he's been caught off-guard more than once. ]

I keep a change of clothes, minimum. Learning how to dry food is a skill I didn't think I'd need, but this place has taught me differently.

Perhaps when we get back from wherever Astoria sends us, a general survival skills seminar for all interested is in order.

Not a bad idea. Starting a fire without a lighter is a skill not many people are forced to learn, especially if you're from a more technologically savvy world.

[ curious. ]

Would you be willing to assist on designing something like that?
