[022. Do you wanna build a snowman?]

[When Lydia wakes up that morning her bed is much bigger than she's used to. Her room is the same, but different and it's colder than it should be at home.

Once the lights in her room are on, after she takes a peek out the door and doesn't find the rest of her house, she finds the phone there and has an urge to start the video.

She appears on the camera with hair uncharacteristically out of place, and still in her pajamas.]

Mom? Dad?

[Lydia decided to explore the place she's at. It's not grandma's house but she feels safe enough in this place and she knows her friends are out there. So she dresses herself and makes her way around the ship until she finds the deck. And snow!

She'll start with building a snowman.]



(ooc: Lydia is obviously affected. Replies will come from pricessariel. Although she doesn't remember exactly what happened or what the Barge is, she'll know if people she's friends with approach her and will be inclined to trust them.)

[Gene has never really seen anything close to this much snow before, and there's absolutely nothing close to winter gear available in his room, so he's wearing his new sweater and his older self's combat uniform jacket, which looks like a trench coat on him. Or a dress. He spots Lydia a minute or so after he stepped out on deck, and he grins widely when he sees what she's doing. He scampers over, totally ignoring how cold and wet his feet are - his shoes aren't exactly waterproof.] Are you buildin' a snowman?

[Lydia is also wearing her new sweater underneath her coat, which also goes all the way down to her feet. But she's warm.

She eyes the boy then nods.]

Obviously. Do you wanna help?

I've never made a snowman before. [But that is absolutely no way a no. Or anything close to a no, so he crouches down next to her without hesitating further.] What do you need me to do, miss?

Is there no snow where you're from? [She asks as she shows him how to work the snow around the bottom tier.]

You have three parts, the bottom one is bigger for the legs, and then the middle one for the chest and the top one for the head!

No, miss, it's too warm. We usually only get a little bit, and it melts real fast. [But he certainly seems capable of following instructions, even though he's not wearing gloves and the snow winds up almost being too painful to touch. The novelty's enough to keep him working through it, even if it's a little uncomfortable.]

We don't get much when we're home, either. But we went to Aspen and there was snow everywhere!

Why do you call me miss?

[She doesn't mind it, she kinda likes it. But it's not very usual for boys to call her that.]
