[sleeplessknight]

Oh!

Right. Okay, here goes...

[she closes her eyes, holding her hand up, with her palm facing Eugeo's arm and...]

System Call. Generate Thermal Element. Adhere to Clothes. Discharge.

[she's picturing the same kind of orb Eugeo created earlier, but at the same time she's also thinking of how it feels when she's used her newly acquired thermal control ability to keep herself/other objects warm before, trying to imagine it as vividly as possible in her mind]

[bluerosestyle]

[It seems to work at first-- but then the orb flickers out of existence.]

That wasn't bad for a first try, it took me about a month to get that far. Maybe if you try again...?

All around her, flowers disappear.

[sleeplessknight]

[noticing that and. visibly panicking a little]

M-M-Maybe not here!

[bluerosestyle]

Oh... Sure, you can try it on your own later.

[sleeplessknight]

... Do you know what this is for?

[shows him the key that the goblin dropped earlier]

[bluerosestyle]

Huh? It looks like a door key.

[sleeplessknight]

... I know that. I mean, what door?

[bluerosestyle]

[? looking at the key, reaches fo--

stops himself]

Where did you find that?

[sleeplessknight]

One of the monsters from before dropped it before disappearing.

[bluerosestyle]

. . . They've never dropped anything for me. But goblins come from the Dark Territory, so... maybe it's from there?

[sleeplessknight]

You mean that place where people aren't supposed to go?

[bluerosestyle]

. . . Yeah.

[sleeplessknight]

... Mmmh.

A-Anyway, how do I stop the cold?

[bluerosestyle]

[silent for a moment]

It might have something to do with the Blue Rose Sword, but other than that... I'm not sure.

[sleeplessknight]

A sword is causing this?

Does that mean I have to break it, or...?

[bluerosestyle]

Ah-- No, don't try to break it. It's a Divine weapon. The problem is more... who is wielding it, and what they want to do with it.

It was my sword, back then. But now all I have is this. [gestures at his sword, which is a replica of the one he has in Imeeji]

[sleeplessknight]

O-Oh...

[does that mean I'm going to have to fight someone???

aaaaaa]

So... where should I start looking?

[bluerosestyle]

If you're sure you want to do this, you'll need to track down the source of the cold... I doubt it comes from the village.

[sleeplessknight]

[nods, listening]

[bluerosestyle]

[he wasn't going to say more, but. he looks north, pointing there]

I know there's ice in the End Mountains. You can get there if you follow the Rul river upstream.

[sleeplessknight]

[finishes her meat skewer in a couple of bites]

Okay. [nods]

I'll go.

[she stands up, looking for a new branch on the floor, one that looks long and sturdy enough]

[bluerosestyle]

[Let's do it right this time:]

Weapon: Branch

...

I'm sorry I can't go with you. I know you're strong, but if you find yourself in danger, run.

[sleeplessknight]

I'm sure I'll be okay! Don't worry.

[bluerosestyle]

...

[nods]

[sleeplessknight]

[starts heading off but stops to look back]

... But seriously, stop doing that.
