Good morning, City. Looks like we're a bit snowed in.

[ Merlin's voice starts out completely cheerful and, hey, he's not used to this much snow, might be a part of it. Or just because. But as he continues, after a pause, it goes a little more somber. ]

I feel like this is something that's been asked before, but...

If you got to choose whether to stay in the City or go home, which would you pick?

[ Because he... honestly has no clue. Whatsoever. ]

It looks miserable out and I'm kind of bored right now. So I'm gonna share a hot chocolate recipe that my grandmother used to make for me on days like this. And I mean it when I say hot. It has some spice to it. This isn't my absolute favorite version of hot chocolate, just one of the ones I like the most.

Four cups milk
2 fresh red chilies
1 cup dark chocolate
2 cinnamon sticks
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 vanilla pod, or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Wash the chilies and make a few cuts on them. Just a few small ones. Nothing too big.

Place the chilies in a pan with the milk and the other spices and on low until steaming slightly. Stir it while you do so, otherwise the milk will burn. Melt the chocolate however you prefer. Once melted, add the chocolate and the honey to the warm milk, and heat gently for 10 minutes until the hot chocolate thickens. Share. Don't share. Whatever. Just enjoy it. It's the perfect weather for it.


[Yep. She is just that bored in the hospital.]

[ooc: charlie was bitten by a zombie the other day. and then today she remembered Irv and Norma, people she traded memories of to get a dragon for her husband. if your character is at or can get to the hospital, go bother her. if not, bother her here. also try that chocolate recipe. it's so good.]

[Mao dozes on the floor of Yin's apartment, loling about in a patch of sunlight. If he were still human, being trapped inside because of the snowstorm would have driven him crazy, but as a cat it's easy enough to pass the time sleeping.

He rolls over, and cracks an eye open. Notices that the device is open and on. Stands up, yawns, and strolls over. Lies down on top of it -- not to shut the device, of course. Just because he's a cat and cats do strange things.]
