[network] voice @expostfacto; Clothing needed [open] Night 158
[When she'd made her introductions the day before, there'd been the slightest of tremors to her voice. Now, she's not even sure she could hide the full-blown shake in it if she tried.]
This whole "search around until you find something more suitable for the weather" thing may work for some people, but it's not working for me. I've been searching for two days, and I've found a napkin and a pair of socks. I don't know how much longer I can keep this up.
[She's grateful for the socks in particular. She's been able to work the napkin into something makeshift with some clothespins she found, but it wasted a lot of time checking it to make sure it didn't fall off. And in the end, her legs were still virtually numb by the time she stopped in a new shelter. The night before had been particularly bad. There was a time for pride, and this wasn't it.]
Particularly, I need something to cover my lower half more thoroughly. I don't exactly have much to offer right now, just some of the things I've found so far. But I'll be damned if I'm going to die here.
Pretty sure I'm east of the chapel. Let me know if you're in the area and willing to trade.
[Or accept an IOU. In any case, that was done. She sets her tablet back down, wrapping herself more thoroughly up in her jacket again, trying get feeling back into her legs. Preventing hypothermia was a tricky beast. To avoid frostbite, you needed to keep heat in your extremities, even as it fled to your core. At the same time, if you did lots of movement and exercise, you risked building up a sweat, which would drain your body heat even faster.
The socks really did help, at least.]

[Following Doctor House's lead, she attaches a picture of what looks like a nice, warm nightgown - though one that's too short to give the kind of coverage you'd want in this weather. It's definitely been worn, but it's all in one piece still and not especially grungy.]
do you have fake animals
no subject
[What kind of request is that? Unlike House's initial request though, this one could be used for layering, even if it's not exactly what she's looking for and covers areas she already does have some coverage on. Something else with sleeves in particular is a bonus.]
I guess I could keep an eye out for any, if you want?
no subject
also knives
how far east ofthe chapel?
no subject
[She does have a corkscrew, but she would like to have something to defend herself with if things really do go badly, so it's not on the table quite yet.]
I believe I'm building 63 on this map.
[Attached is House's map that Stephanie linked on the arrival post.]
no subject
it is not far from you
if i give you this later you must give me fake animals
no subject
Deal.
What kind of fake animals are we talking about, anyway? Stuffed, toys, figurines? This really isn't a great time to be getting into taxidermy.
no subject
[Look at her, striking deals, helping people...setting up a network of fake animal finders....]
taxidermy is wasteful
but good practice?
but i do not want dead real animals
i want soft fake animals
Also I double checked my own movements and pretend Phi said House 58, not 63 up above
[This... is honestly a pretty pain-free deal, so far as she's concerned.]
We should pick a house to meet at tomorrow. Somewhere we can both reach pretty easily.
no subject
i am taking food to doctor house
no subject
[Referring to House's map again.]
no subject
there is a narrow tunnel in the fallen part of the snow wall
move carefully
no subject
[The last thing she needs is to get wet.]
I guess I'll see you then.
