So everyone's talking about a fortune-telling tablet, I'd like to know how to deal with all this snow!

I've actually never experienced snow before, is it normally supposed to be... a lot here?

[She's curious about the tablet, she really is - but she's doing her best to ignore it for now. At least until curiosity takes over.]

ah the IMPORTANT questions

the way to deal with snow is to build an army of snowmen to prepare for the OTHER army of snowmen

just make sure your own don't defect on you

The MOST important question.

How many snowmen should I build? What can I do to make sure they don't defect?

[Serious questions only here.]

well i would say you should have no less than 20 plus one big guy. that's your tank

as for defection, just remember that each snowman is an individual with its own hopes and dreams and not just tools of destruction and you should be good

also don't talk about summer around them

20 of them plus a big guy. Got it! And nooooo summer talk, I could see why that would upset them.

I think I could make a really good snowman army.

Do you have warm clothes? If not, you can start by wearing layers of clothes.

Thick socks, gloves, and a hat are a good idea. Wool is good. Cotton isn't great, especially if it gets wet.

Noooot really. Not... enough, I think.

If I had a sewing machine I could make some.

There is a clothing shop in town. They probably have winter gear.

If you need it I can give you money to get things?

Oh that's very nice of you, but I wouldn't want to borrow money off of you.

It really isn't a hardship. Better than someone freezing. Frostbite is unpleasant.

It's about average for this part of the world. And you deal with it by bundling up, you wear warm clothes, boots and protect your extremities. Are you going to work for ADI. They give us a small clothing allowance to start with.

I suppose I'll have to. What kind of jobs could I do for them?

[She's not fond of the idea of working for them, she still doesn't entirely trust them, but...

Girl needs clothes.]

[ Kate doesn't trust ADI either but she's not living in a flophouse, thank you very much. She's too much of a snob. It's sad but true. ]

What did you do back home?

A lot of sewing mostly! It wasn't a job though. I didn't have a job back home...

Oh you can sew? That's great. I have some remnants and some unused flannel if you want to take a look. How old are you? I suppose you could start in Administration. We could teach you.

Yes, this much snow is normal here.

It will probably take a while to get used to. People have already told you warm clothing is important. You also need boots with good traction, so you don't fall on the ice. Especially when it has been a sunny day, so things thaw a little and then freeze again.

Okay, I'll definitely need some boots. I have shoes but I don't think they're very good for this kind of weather.

Do you have money?

If not, what is your size? I might be able to lend you a few things until you're settled.

No, I don't. My size is... [She gives the size for an average 15-year-old girl] I'd really appreciate it if I could borrow something.

[She's smaller than Yelena, but not enough for it to be unworkable.]

It won't be the most fashionable, but I have some things that will work. I'm in the ADI apartments, C2. Come by in about two hours. I'll be home from work by then, and have time to pull the clothing out.

never seen snow? really? it snows a lot where im from invest in warm clothes and pad your feet as much as you can

Well, I guess NEVER - tia Pepa can make it snow sometimes, but it's not common...

Right. I'll find some warm clothes.

lots of layers. staying home where it's warmer is not a bad idea either. did you stock up on enough food?
