Gregorith had vacationed in Asgard, had even spent some time in what he thought were the colder areas. But he'd not spent a lot of time in those areas and they never got this cold.

On his way in to work he remembered something from a funny video he'd seen where a woman started out singing a Christmas song and then cut off dramatically when she opened the door to see a wet snowy landscape.

"Well the weather outside is- nope!"

He'd layered up so he wasn't even that uncomfortable on the short walk but the cold made him somewhat paranoid about exposing any part of him to the air. And when he got inside he felt suddenly sleepy and he wondered if it was his eyes thawing out.

In any case he was here, and he was working on de-grouching himself.

Hello, Fandom!

Hope you've enjoyed all this relative normalcy lately, because on Wednesday, February 4th, characters on-island will be (as long as you want them to, of course) compelled to speak the truth! Yep, it's Truth Day again. Go on, cause havoc.

When Sairis arrived in the common room, the television was on. There were pictures on it that seemed drawn rather than live people, and they were...definitely odd. Somehow captivating, though.

He made tea absent-mindedly and opted for some of the "cereal" (which still didn't look like it was made from any grain he knew). There was a picture on the box of milk being poured over it, so he tried that. It was sweet, but like the television, oddly good.

So he'd just be eating sugary cereal and watching Saturday morning cartoons ~~I don't care if they're not a thing anymore~~.

Good morning, everyone, and I do hope you are all tucked up somewhere warm, unlike myself as I am cruelly beset by rodents determined to drag me from my warm bed to read their gossipy little scribblings.

*chittering*

Yes, I do love gossip, but that's not the point. The point is that I was warm and now I am not. Let's get on with this so that I may aspire to be warm again, shall we?

At the school, Overcoming Obstacles played in the snow, then Combat 101 learned how to properly throw a punch, followed by Cupcakes of the World(s) learning of the cupcakes of Indonesia.

I've nothing from the dormitory, and cannot tell if the porg is sad or merely cold. However, in the town, Detective Watts at the Trooper Station received a delivery of flowers courtesy of Mr. Grant. At Needful Things, Dr. Quinn--ooooh! Dr. Quinn came across a possible spell book! I shall have to stop by and see about that. At Stark Tower, Mr. Anthony Stark was hard at work in his laboratory until Mr. Rogers interrupted to remind him of dinner...and that is the last of the notes. Everyone else must have been too cold to do anything.

Now, I am off for a cup of tea and a bit of a huddle under a blanket. Farewell, dear listeners!

Tony had meant to do something nice for Steve after they got back from their class and all the snow involved in it. He'd really meant to. But instead he'd immediately gotten pulled into a project after a phone call from his R&D department back in New York, needing a solution before Pepper got an ulcer from the stress.

Which meant he went straight to the lab to work it out. And then that turned into tinkering with his dozens of other Stark Industries based projects in various states of completion.

And then from there, he was working on a version of the suit. Mark... look, the number wasn't important. The important thing was that he'd forgotten the original plan. Which he'd realize at some point, right?

Today the Danger Shop had been set up with punching bags, and Thor explained to his students, "Today you will learn how to throw a punch, or review the skill, if you have already been taught. First, and most critically, learn how to make a fist: your thumb goes on the outside of your fingers, not the inside. Tucked inside, you risk breaking it. Do not do this. Second, learn where to punch. The face is an obvious target, but it is full of bones close to the surface, and punching hard surfaces risks damage to your hand. This does not necessarily mean you should not hit someone in the face--a swollen eye or a broken nose can debilitate your opponent enough to assure your victory or escape--but that you should be prepared for the consequences." Thor pulled up an anatomical diagram made of hard light and pointed out other good targets, such as the solar plexus, the kidneys, and the groin.

"Now, how does one throw a punch? There are six basic forms of punch: the jab, the cross, the lead and rear hook, and the lead and rear uppercut. You may have heard of the 'haymaker,' which is similar to a hook but unbalanced and leaves one open to counterattack. You will learn better form here."

Thor ~~handwavily~~ guided his students through each form of punch, then sent them to the bags to practice for the rest of class. "You may focus on one punch or rotate through all of them. The choice is yours, but I would recommend the latter approach. No one tool will serve in all circumstances."

One of the joys of running a place that specialized in various old crap - especially when you as the proprietor had a brain that craved constant new input - was the mystery boxes of new old junk coming in! Sure, more often than not half the things in them was straight up trash coming from the house of someone's late grandma, but that didn't stop the joy of discovery!

"Okay, trash trash trash, candle stick, weird... letter opener thingamabob," she was babbling to herself, unboxing the latest arrival all over the counter, "dinky costume jewelry -- oh, what, is this a spell book?!"

Likely not.

Regardless, this would keep her occupied for a while.

The teachers were in the Danger Shop today, bundled up. They'd wanted to play in the snow with the dogs, but Fee and Libby got distracted and they decided that the walls were necessary so the entire class period wasn't spent chasing the dogs all over the island.

"Hi," Steve said, grinning. "Turns out that the dogs love snow."

"Good for them, less great for us," Tony said with a sigh as the dogs were attempting to barrel around through the programmed snow.

"We've put up some of their obstacle course gear," Steve said, gesturing at the tunnel and then the little weave poles, "but they aren't really interested."

"But we thought fetch might work," Tony added. At the word 'fetch' three pairs of ears perked up from in the snow.

"It will definitely work better than trying to run the course," Steve said.

There were banana peels in the station today, and so yes, once again, as expected, the Troopers were taking this opportunity to practice their pratfalls.

Watts did not need any help in this area, thank you, and so was staying safely ensconced in his office.

“Something different today,” Stark said. “Although that’s the idea, isn’t it? New things each week. We went, some of us, to Indonesia a few years ago. Stayed on a lovely warm island…”

He sighed and looked outside. Was this winter colder? Maybe it was just him.

“With a beach and plenty of sunshine and no snow or cold at all. Now, I don’t know if any of you went there or not. If you did, I hope you remember it fondly. Today’s cupcakes are from Indonesia.” He lifted the cloche on the table in front of him to reveal today’s cupcakes.

“These are called Bolo Kukus.” Hopefully he’d gotten the pronunciation right. “They’re a type of steamed cupcake. Very different from what I usually make, or eat, or what you might find in the bakery here. Here things have frosting and I would usually say cupcakes need frosting but I’m trying to be a bit more open-minded about that sort of thing.”

“So! These are steamed rather than baked. Something new, as I said. So we’ll need tins to steam them in and a steamer.” He pointed to the relevant objects as he spoke.

“Don’t worry if things don’t work out the first time. We’ve time to try again and this is a new recipe for most of you if not all of you. There’s a copy of the recipe for all of you, and I’ve got different colors to use to dye the cake different colors. I wonder if edible glitter would work? We had glitter in drinks yesterday in Kitty’s class…”

“So! Let’s try to steam some cupcakes. You can try one of the ones I’ve already made first, if you like, or save it for later, or not eat one at all. And there’s no decorating needed today. Oh, maybe the glitter could go on at the end…or colored sugar?”

Hello, it's Steve Rogers with all of the news of yesterday!

In classes, Liliana led her class through the study of red mana, then went to her office to find someplace warm to vacation. Don't talk to Tony. You'll plot, I just know it. The library gremlins had set up a beach in the library, Cara and Jane made sure their movie makes none of us want to go somewhere where fire tornadoes might exist, and Don gave the Norse Mythology class a history lesson and didn't mention cows this week.

In town, Watts and Steven met up at the museum for a lunch date, Thor manned the Devil's Nest, and the Supper Club went to Waffle House.

*chittering*

It's still sticky. And that's everything. Enjoy the weekend, everyone.

It was cold and Belle was rather over it. Bundled up warmly and with a very hot tea in hand she entered the library to find...

A kiddie pool. A palm tree. A small sandbox. And the heat was cranked up. Presumably fit the gremlins lounging in the sand.

"Well, that's better," she said. And then she noticed all the books set out that took place in typical climates.

"Much better!"

Lydia had been most remiss this week, as she had only realized upon seeing the Waffle House sign once again visiting their shores, and then realizing that yes, this was Thursday. All the little days, how they flew by!

She sent out a text to everyone she could think of who might wish to join her for Supper Club, hoped that those who did not partake of phones would somehow get word, and hurried toward that yellow glow. She did so hope they had a hot cup of tea on hand.

She was going to learn some things.

Welcome to Supper Club, everyone! Waffle House is open!

Winter persisted, but so did Thor. The people needed warming and good cheer, after all, and perhaps to throw an axe at something.

No, not Tiny. Please stick to the range.

"I realized I left out an important piece of information at the beginning of this class," Don admitted. "When we talk about the 'sources' for Norse myths, what are those sources? What are the texts?" He held up two books. "These are the texts: the Prose Edda and the Poetic Edda. Both were composed in the thirteenth century CE from older sources, but while we know the Prose Edda was written by Snorri Sturluson, an Icelandic scholar, we don't know who wrote the Poetic Edda. And, fun fact, we don't know what the word 'Edda' means. So even in the source material, there's so much missing information. Why? To be really blunt: Christianity. For a long time in much of Europe, Christian religious institutions were responsible for preservation of knowledge, and they didn't want to preserve the knowledge of 'pagan' religions. We're lucky we have this much.

"So when I say, 'This is what these people believed,' that's maybe not true. Maybe that's just the version that got written down, and most people believed a different version of the story. Where I come from, Loki was adopted by Odin and raised as Thor's brother, but that's not in either Edda and it upsets Thor. But that doesn't necessarily mean people didn't know that, or that that wasn't true in other universes. It just didn't make it to the page.

"Your lesson this week isn't about a myth or a story. It's about the preservation of information. Just because it isn't of value to you in your time doesn't mean it won't be valuable to people in the future. Who knows what other stories we might have if there was a whole third book?" Maybe something that would explain what Odin's problem even was...no. No, that would take more than one book.

Apparently your teachers were on a weather kick with the movie that was queued up for the class this week.

These things just happened, you know.

"We have another natural disaster movie that seems less natural than I think is real life," Jane said.

Cara shrugged. "Could be magic," she said, completely sincerely.

"She's not wrong," Jane sighed. Because it was true. Magic or whimsy were both possibilities here!

They couldn't even blame the island, given they both came from magical worlds.

"So, let's all enjoy this, hopefully, fully fictional event," Jane continued.

Totally. Fully. Fictional.

I have an extremely chipper intern with a post it, so I'm guessing yesterday was interestingly slow.

Let's see, at the School, Glitter was actually being held down at Caritas, where they made glitter mocktails and didn't even have to put up with Tino.

Over at the Dorms, Henry, his dog, and his horse were on the Lawn.

While in Town Octavia was throwing axes at the Devil's Nest.

Today's class met across the river from a small valley, surrounded by high mountains. Perched on the side of one of those mountains was a lofty monastery where chanted voices sang out from time to time, caught upon an echo through the mountaintops. "And this is Kaladesh," she welcomed. "Far from the parts of the plane I usually roam; I'm much more at home in Ghirapur, the capital city. But the Devra Cliffs are known for being lovely."

"Today, as you have likely put together already, we're going to talk about red mana," she said, the white board behind her filled with the now-familiar questions and, more importantly, the word at the top now
Freedom
• What does red mana desire? What is its end goal?

• What means does red mana use to achieve these ends?

• What does red mana care about? What does it represent?

• What does red mana despise? What negatively drives it?

• What is red mana's greatest strength? Greatest weakness?

( Freedom Through Action )

Liliana took a sip of her tea as the lecture wound down. "Even with its focus on relationships and bonds, red is a very individualistic color, placing its own beliefs of what's right above everyone else's - though, thankfully, those beliefs generally extend only over what is right for oneself.. Red's greatest strength is its ability to know what it wants, the purpose and clarity so many others lack. In addition, red is committed to taking action to get the things it wants. Others might pine for things; red actively takes the steps to acquire them. This drive grants red a passion and speed that can often overwhelm its adversaries. Red's enthusiasm creates an energy that allows it to do amazing things - it is a color heavily associated with art, with passion, with creativity - art is, of course, often meant to make you feel."

It was cold outside but warm inside at least. Steven was happy to be at work for more than the usual reasons. He put a sign on the outside of the museum to let people know they could come in and get warm if they needed. He also made sure to have the kettle ready for a hot cup of tea or cocoa as well.

He was currently sipping tea while sitting behind the Welcome Desk. It was a good day for it.

Have you been feeling bored? Would you like more interaction? Do you want to be thrown at people you might not normally play with to spark a friendship or maybe more?

Well guess what!

Three Minute Dates will be returning on Satirday, February 7, because actual Valentine's Day had the audacity to be on our usual weekend!
