Warm Fuzzies

[small_compromise]

WHO: Omega and you?
WHERE: Temba and Sh'Ka
WHAT: Making sure the locals are warm
WHEN: Through the month
WARNINGS: N/A


This time around Omega was much better prepared for what to expect once the season shifted. She had more than enough free time and had started spending some of it in going through the available department stores for materials, clothes she could use. The nice Hunter had given her a knife so she could cut things up properly, and she'd managed to do so without slicing off any fingers and only giving Echo a mild heart attack.

Her sewing skills were rudimentary at best, but she remembered what she'd been taught during the rain fair that had seemed so long ago now. All she really needed to do was make sure one piece of material attached and stayed attached to another.

Depending on when one came across her, she could be found leaving little makeshift scarves and bundles of blankets by spots she'd seen Funfronds and Barrys frequent, in Temba or Sh'Ka proper. There's also the library where she might get sidetracked in her warmth dispersing and end up buried in mothcats. Or she could be found either carrying a very large bundle of cloth in her arms or in the process of winding what turned out to be a very lengthy, patched together scarf out around a snow-dusted outcropping of rocks that had settled near the spiraling depression of the Temba memorial site. Weird girl.

Omega blinked before she held her hands out then. "I was wondering why you didn't look cold," she observed with a grin. "I think we're done here. Want to see if there's anything warm at the diner to drink?"

[kree_soldieress]

Oh that makes her face light up.

"That sounds nice. It would be soothing."

[small_compromise]

The girl moved her hands to gently take hold of one of Lauri-Ell's to tug along, smiling. "Then let's go!"

[kree_soldieress]

Ah, that is nice. Once more Lauri is reminded just how nice Omega is, as she follows with a smile. A wide one.

“Gladly. Are warm drinks traditional in human cultures when it is cold?”

[small_compromise]

"Oh, I don't know. I've never been anywhere cold before here," Omega said simply as she moved along through the snow.

[kree_soldieress]

"Me either," Lauri admitted. "The worlds I was stationed on, they were climate controlled."

So this place was the only cold she had known.

"They can do that with whole worlds?" the girl marveled. "The world I was created on is covered in an ocean and half of the time it's stormy, so there wasn't much by way of climate, not that I ever went outside of the city."

[kree_soldieress]

"Yes," she says, shocked that the girl would ask. She is of a spacefaring people. Have they not done such things?

"I do not know oceans well. Perhaps they resist that sort of care that we use with our residential and garden worlds," Lauri-Ell suggests.

[small_compromise]

Omega had only been to a handful of other worlds since leaving Kamino, and they'd all seemed relatively natural when it came to climate, not that it was something she'd given much thought to, but nor did they stay for very long in most of them. Surely Tech would give her a thorough explanation if it was such a thing wherever they did end up going.

"I guess... There's not really much to be done about them." Gardens and worlds with cities and towns, individual houses, they were all relatively new to her too, after all.

At least they'd be warm soon as the diner came into view. Omega looked forward to whatever might be had for tummy-warming treats.

"Seas are complicated," Lauri-Ell says as if she's been educated in it. "And it takes many, many decades for our people to get proper weather satellites and controls set up on our worlds."

She sees the diner and smiles. Yes, warmth will be good.

"I hope Thomas has made stew. I think it is a very good human food."
