It has been very quiet here lately. Or, at least, it has been for me. So, tell me something that you enjoy doing in then cold weather, now that it is upon us.

Mainly?

Trying to find a coat that's suitable as well as acceptable to the eyes. I'm quite appalled I can't conjure my own cloth like I used to back from my own world.

[questioneverything]

I haven't experienced cold weather before. What sort of things do most people do?

[epitaffio]

You should drink something warm!
Tea, coffee or hot chocolate... Whatever makes you feel coziest.

It does get way colder here than it did back home, though.

Text (also open to anyone who wants to jump in and make fun of him though! :D)

Stepping out in the morning and finding that it's finally warming up again.

It may sound silly, but watching genuine snow fall for hours will never get old. It was a very rare treat, back home.

There's much more variety in the types of coats available than I am used to.

Re: Text

[neverfinishanyth]

Mainly they stay inside, trying to find various ways to keep warm. And there are festivals, as well.

It often only gets cold like this in the mountains where I am from, so this has been a little unusual for me! But I am becoming fond of coffee.

[neverfinishanyth]

I think you may be waiting for some time.

[neverfinishanyth]

Snow is very fascinating, I agree!

[dreamsofahero]

I'm quite aware.

[loveisadagger]

Really? I thought not enough, but I like a lot of options myself.

[captainash]

Sadly, most of my Pokémon don't share that fascination. They're more interested in its tactical uses, such as projectiles aimed at their trainer who is trying to enjoy the view. Does 'dodging' count as a winter activity?

[orangesmith]

Right now? Trying to stay warm.

[He didn't come with anything resembling warm winter clothing and it's a bit colder than he's used to, so Narancia's suffering just a little bit until he can get his hands on warm clothes.]

[epitaffio]

That's right!
They didn't have coffee back in your time, did they, Mr. Leonardo?

[neverfinishanyth]

Where I am from, most coats are handmade and very sturdy, more than they are stylish.

[neverfinishanyth]

Sometimes ships bring some from overseas, but it is very new! Did you know that it tastes better with some milk in it?

[neverfinishanyth]

Always a noble goal, I think.

[neverfinishanyth]

So long as the dodging is being done during winter time, then yes, I suppose it must.

[epitaffio]

[Oh, whoops. Well, close enough!]

Really?
I never thought you'd be the kind of person to like your coffee on the lighter side.

[loveisadagger]

Ah well, I think we're able to have both where I came from. Guess I was just privileged, forgive my boldness.

[captainash]

That's two, then. One to soothe the soul, and one to refine the reflexes.

[neverfinishanyth]

I don't know if there's anything to forgive. Besides a lack of coats, anyway.

[neverfinishanyth]

It adds a little bit of sweetness, which I am fond of.

[neverfinishanyth]

Truly, is there anything else you could want?

[shiningkindness]

Well, my friends and I like playing in the snow. Building snowmen, having snowball fights, going sledding. And then after all that we go inside to warm up with some hot cocoa.

[neverfinishanyth]

I've seen people play with sleds before, when there are hills steep enough for it.

[shiningkindness]

Yeah. It can be a lot of fun, as long as the hills are high enough. But sometimes people or creatures pulling the sleds can be fun too.

[averageineverything]

I like to cook. Standing by the stove keeps the chill away, and whatever I make can warm up the people who eat it.

[nastyboy]

There is always a great deal to do, once the weather begins to turn cold. Of course, I have had to adjust to some degree since arriving in Johto, as many things make this all very different.

For example, in Fodlan, there is a winter holiday that involves much feasting and community, but the reasons for that do not seem as relevant here in such a comfortable land.

[captainash]

Clear and dry sidewalks, but anyone who tells you that shoveling is enjoyable is a liar, so that doesn't count.

[zukeini]

Can’t say I’m a fan of the cold. This is the kind of weather for warm tea or coffee. Stay indoors and get cozy with a blanket and a jigsaw puzzle…

[epitaffio]

That's funny.
Some people say you're immature if you can't have your coffee black, but I guess it just goes to show it's not that straightforward!

[angewiesen]

However it is they keep buildings warm all the time, and in all the rooms? Like through the vents or whatever? That shit's magical.

And the hot beverages. I bitter stuff more than sweet.

Re: Text

[questioneverything]

Is that all? Just trying to stay warm? Are there no cold weather activities?

What kinds of festivals?
