[Another day in paradise, huh? If you happen to be outside (or actually have windows in your dorms), you can enjoy the sight of snow gently falling down. It's not sticking, but it does look idyllic.]

[This is a mingle, friends. Notifs are off, go wild.]

It's cold...

[ Said like how one might say "it's made of PURE ACID" ]

[we_meet_again]

I have a jacket you can borrow if you need to go somewhere... It'd be pretty big on you but maybe better than nothing...?

[puzzlekeeper]

[ wow excuse you, you don't have to say it out loud!!! ]

...

But then won't you be cold?

[we_meet_again]

[Cobalt is Tall, his clothes would be big on just about everyone, don't worry]

[Anyway, shrug]

I'm not going out, so I don't need it right now.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Foolish pride suggests he should refuse, CLEARLY some trivial cold cannot defeat him!!!

... But also... ]

...

In that case, I won't say no...

[we_meet_again]

Alright. Be right back.

[Gonna take the elevator back to his dorm, brb]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Ok

Well

He's just gonna wait over here

Contemplating how Cobalt can possibly be this good & pure ]

[A few minutes later, he returns with a blue track jacket. It smells brand new and still has the original creases in the fabric. It has clearly never been worn.]

It's not a wool coat or anything, but at least it has a hood and a thick cotton lining, so it's warmer than nothing.

I bought some extra copies of my tracksuit so I could rotate out the shirts, and each copy came with a new jacket, so I have extras I don't really need. You can just keep it if you want it.

No pressure either way, though.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Listen, people giving him things is very perplexing, based on the look on his face. ]

What- wait, are you sure?

[we_meet_again]

Yeah, of course. It's just taking up space in my closet, so if you can use it, it's better off with you anyway.

Sorry it says pep!pep! on the back. Maybe you can cover it up with a cape or something.

[puzzlekeeper]

... No, that's alright. Should anyone ask about it, I'll just tell them it's a gift between units.

Thank you, Cobalt.

[we_meet_again]

Yeah, no worries. I hope it helps.

I guess winter clothes are going to be in hot demand pretty soon. I wonder which unit has the warmest options.

[puzzlekeeper]

Not Heart Soldier Senshi, I can already tell you that.

[ How warm can hero clothes really be..... ]

[we_meet_again]

Hmm.... maybe alcheME, with the robes... or I bet Wild City could get down jackets and scarves and stuff too, huh?



...This might be a dumb idea, but you guys have a Live for helping people, right? I wonder if Heart Soldier could team up with one of those units to distribute winter clothes to people who need them.

[puzzlekeeper]

Oh! No, no, that's not a dumb idea at all. That might actually go a long way toward helping out.

I'll have to mention it to the others.

[we_meet_again]

It might be kind of expensive... but maybe not completely untenable...?

Like, if someone on Wild City got a winter outfit for 100 points, they could get copies for 50 points each. 300 points could buy six outfits, so if you split the cost between everyone at Heart Soldier who hosted the live, you could probably get a few dozen sets of clothes without spending any extra points.

I guess if people wanted something unique, participating in the live would give them enough points to get a new outfit and still have fifty points left over... so if you had a volunteer from Wild City or Alcheme or whoever who could order stuff for people, I guess it could be like a clothing exchange.

And if you had an alcheME volunteer, all the clothes could be resized to fit.

[puzzlekeeper]

Yes, with enough teamwork, it wouldn't be too difficult to achieve at all. And the cold is likely to last for a while, right? At least several months.

[ HATEFUL but what can you do ]

It would be a worthwhile investment for everyone involved.

[we_meet_again]

I'd be willing to pitch in, too, if that helps!

[puzzlekeeper]

It certainly does. And the idea is your genius to begin with, after all.

You know, you may have done well on Heart Soldier Senshi, if not Peppep.

[we_meet_again]

You think so? That's nice of you to say. I like everyone I've met from Heart Soldier so far.

[puzzlekeeper]

You always seem to be looking out for others. That's the whole idea behind being a "hero", isn't it?

[ Cobalt would be a better HSS than King himself tbh ]

[we_meet_again]

Oh... I don't know anything about that. It's just that the community has been very kind to me. I want to pay it forward, if I can.

[ And he doesn't feel like he's done much of that lately. Threatening everyone in an attempt to protect his own unit is probably the opposite. ]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Gee is it possible to kindness terrorize you the same way as B ]

Aha! And humble, too. Impressive.

1/2

[we_meet_again]

Oh shucks, you.

[we_meet_again]

...

Ah, hey, actually, speaking of looking out for people...

[rubbing the back of his neck]

...I have kind of an awkward favor to ask.


[ GET READY, BUDDY, WE'RE DOING THIS ]
