It seems 'snowmen' is much too innocuous a word for these.

Has anyone thought of any better terms?

[treatinferiors]

Hello again.

Like it or not, they'll most likely pick up a name regardless. Most things do.

Even ones made of snow.

[treatinferiors]

I suppose.

[A beat later.]

They don't seem to be troubling you.

[treatinferiors]

I'm not sure wanting them to be more of a challenge is a very good idea.

handwritten;

[eldesthatter]

Are they...are they moving for you as well?

[treatinferiors]

Not that I've seen. I'm not entirely sure why.

I'm assuming that's not the case everywhere.

[eldesthatter]

There seem to be a few circling the hat shop...

[treatinferiors]

I wonder what strategy would work best.

There must be one.

[eldesthatter]

Currently I haven't left the building and they haven't entered it. I can't say how long that will last.

[treatinferiors]

That seems a good place to start.

Is there anything you can use as a barricade?

[eldesthatter]

I would likely draw the suspicion of my stepmother and the others working in the shop. They seem unable to see the snow creatures moving.

[treatinferiors]

Do you know if they've attacked anywhere else?

[eldesthatter]

I haven't heard anything. They seem rather focused on me, which makes me think it has to do with the community.

[treatinferiors]

I wouldn't be surprised.

I suppose if it doesn't spread to others outside the community, the best bet would be to take up shelter with those this virus has seemingly skipped.

[eldesthatter]

You mean...on another world?

[treatinferiors]

It seems there's some talk of offers going around.

[eldesthatter]

I don't know if I could...

[treatinferiors]

You don't have to, if you'd like not to or aren't able.

[eldesthatter]

I'd prefer not to...

I suppose as long as they remain outside it shouldn't become a problem.

[treatinferiors]

I suppose I'll wish you luck, then.

[eldesthatter]

Thank you.

Do you think you'll be safe as well?

[treatinferiors]

I'd certainly hope so.

[eldesthatter]

As do I.

I'll wish you luck as well.

[treatinferiors]

And I'll thank you, as well.

[heavenlyhome]

Snow people, perhaps?

[treatinferiors]

Perhaps something a bit more menacing?

[heavenlyhome]

Ah, then, the terrors of the snow?

[treatinferiors]

I think you're onto something.

[heavenlyhome]

Or horror might be another word.

If they are giving you much trouble, you are most welcome at the temple. It's quite well protected.

[treatinferiors]

Thank you, but the snow terrors seem to have passed me over.

I suppose you can let others know that my London is safe at the moment.

[heavenlyhome]

I'm glad you've been spared. They're a bit inconvenient if you don't have some sort of protection. I was going to go shopping today, too, but, well.

I'll keep that in mind, of course.

[treatinferiors]

They seem very bothersome, yes.

[heavenlyhome]

I liked it better when it was simply snow. I didn't expect this part. Then, I don't suppose anyone did.

[daretotry]

What's wrong with 'snowmen'?

[treatinferiors]

'Snowmen' doesn't sound nearly ominous enough.

[daretotry]

How about snowmonsters?

[treatinferiors]

It's simple, but I suppose it works.

[daretotry]

Kinda boring, though, I guess. I dunno, did you think of anything?

[treatinferiors]

Snow Terrors sounds workable, to be honest.

[daretotry]

Terrors? That sounds like something my mom would say. It's not very scary.

[treatinferiors]

What do you have that's scarier, then?

[daretotry]

Well, nothing, really. I'm not so good at creative stuff like that.

[treatinferiors]

You can give it a try.

[daretotry]

Uh...snowdemons?

( text )

[ex_apocryphas39]

They tend to travel quite closely, do they not?

[ a beat: ]

Though they are tad, ah, "quieter" here, perhaps "snow horde" might happen to apply?

[permawritten]

[treatinferiors]

They seem to, although they've passed me over.

That might, yes. Sounds quite fitting, actually.

[ex_apocryphas39]

You are quite fortunate, then. Others appear to be, ah, "overrun".

Oh? I am glad to have provided as much.
