Bones and Swith have explained their characters pretty thoroughly, but I feel like there should be more communication from the rest of us on that. Especially since, in my case, it happened once before and I had to pull a rabbit out of a hat (quite literally) to make the situation go away. So, what just happened with Dora would have destroyed the building and killed everyone not supernatural if the building didn't have so many protections on it. As it was, the first time it happened, well...let's just say the Arctic isn't ice anymore.

Cuisine and MB don't need explaining, because they're uncomplicated like that.

I'm kind of miffed about the blizzard bit. What exactly is it affecting?

EDIT 1: Miffed is a better word. I'm not actually sad or angry about it; I'm just a little put off. And stuff. And everyone's probably already replied to this.

its just a threat, if a god invades and it doesn't affect you directly what your incentive to stop it.

And as I recall, you're not the thread leader.

Bran, you might be up for it, but some people aren't. They're enjoying the little stuff... the nightmare aspect, or fighting some of the bad things outside, but people also play to blow off steam. They want to do their side stories, fights, romances or comedy. It's becoming increasingly difficult for them to.

People don't always want to participate in a major story, especially one that runs on long term. Remember how some people didn't want to pay any attention to Dani's?

That said, Prim's doing an excellent job. It's just that people don't all want to participate. It's unfair for all of us to expect them to. They also don't have character abilities that would "save" them from the situation. There's no "home" or "base" for them to touch to be in the "free" zone because the entire building is being affected.

^This is what I was talking about and why I'm miffed.
Thanks.

And now I need to look online and figure out exactly what that means! Thanks!

yes your completely right, however its hard to hit a select group without dragging them some where and to be fair thats like herding cats. I am breaking some boudries put if you REALLY dont want a part in this im not going to get mad or even think about it if you ignore the effects and im sure cures and fixes can be made, build a fire or make a vaccine if you want but dont feel like im forcing this on you

The cold is one of the few things that can hurt the raptors. Nevvie almost didn't make it in the ninth circle of hell because of the freezing temperature. Now the cold threatens their eggs.

I put up with -41o C temperature every day without any blizzards involved; 25 degrees fahrenheit isn't exactly what I'd call a threat. But I get your meaning. It feels a little intrusive, though; I'd have preferred if there'd been a vote or something at least so that we could determine if that's something everyone wants to happen.

I don't know; maybe I'm over-reacting.

The raptors have cold blood, that temperature could kill them.

I know; Herean's fine anyway since he's wearing a light jacket. The point I was making was that it's something that affects everybody without having the consent of everybody, to clarify. I'm going to escalate my last sentence to 'probably over-reacting' at this point.

Uh, Herean just got freed up. He's currently headbanging fatalistically outside.
