[ siffrin is..... staring at a computer. they look at nozomi like they want to ask her what this is, but... what if this is something that's really common? will she think he's an idiot?
[ It's a shame that Siffrin's cloak doesn't seem to have the properties crafted into it. Nonetheless, they seem unwilling to part with it as they walk through the area, probably in search of the new buildings that might have showed up.
[ Siffrin smiles fondly. Even among the horrors, there are still some small things to enjoy. Seeing Nozomi enjoying herself so much is a nice novelty that brings a warm feeling. ]
Do you want learn how to make stuff with snow? It's snowt going to be easy, though!
[ Hopefully she's wearing gloves, because Siffrin is picking up a handful of snow in his hand and compacting it with the other until it's round. ]
This, is a snowball. And once you make it, you can throw it at the other person like this--
[ With a grin, he throws it at her. Not hard, of course, he's not trying to attack her. Not that it matters much, though, since it kind of...whizzes past her and hits the snowy ground next to her. ]
[ She's actually a good marksman, but this isn't a projectile she's used to. She gives the snowball a toss and manages a glancing blow to Siffrin's arm. ]
[ But this time it's his turn! Siffrin picks up snow, quickly compacting it in order to throw at her! Hopefully their fucked up depth perception doesn't fuck them over again! ]
[ The snowball once again whizzes over her, but that's fine. The fact that she's enjoying herself is already enough for Siffrin, who laughs brightly in return as if nothing were wrong.
(If only things could stay like this...)
He tosses another snowball, but this one disintegrates mid air into snow flakes once more. ]

mumbling the word under their breath, Siffrin does their best to store it in their memory. ]
What does it do?
no subject
...
But this place is so unorganized, I don't know if it would be accurate.
no subject
[ did not understand any of that. ]
O-okay!
[ maybe if they nod she won't think they're an idiot? ]
no subject
But since they nod, she nods back. ]
Let me know if you need help with it.
W1: Monday
When she spots Siffrin, she walks up to them. ]
Did you manage to find hair clips?
no subject
[ from under their cloak, there's the sound of fabric rustling as Siffrin's cat tail swishes back and forth. ]
I didn't find hair clips, but I managed to get a sewing kit out of the clothing store. Safety pins and needles work well in a pinch too!
no subject
Sounds like you have a few additions too?
I'm glad you managed to find what you needed.
no subject
It's all thanks to you guys. Though the only problem is that the doors I've managed to get through are empty.
[ he expected more from the fucked up boarding house! ]
no subject
It's empty? Totally empty? Not even other beds or anything like that?
no subject
[ they shake their head. ]
But they look like no one has stayed in them for a while now.
no subject

Have you been able to find anything about this place?

See?! It's fun.
no subject
[If only this was the extent of violence in this place.
... Even more reason to cherish these memories.]
Did you get to do this sort of thing a lot?
no subject
[ There's a nostalgic smile. It's something that they would like to do with their family members, but...
First, they have to get out of the loops. And then...
... ]
What about you? You said you never saw the snow before? Did you live in a warm place?

How did you get to see them?

[ Well that's a sham- wait. ]
But... you were sent there?

It's a little complicated, but that's right.
