[It's about an hour after the messages from Curufin and his mother. Your self-proclaimed leader is ready to 'lead' at you.]

Alright, we all heard the warning. Team leads, check in with your teammates both new ones and those who have been here awhile. We need people to volunteer making packs like the last mission for rations and supplies for everyone. Those with first-aid training should offer refresher courses or introduction demonstrations as we have some new people on board.

What kind of abilities and powers do we have on board that could assist with people who might be freezing? We need to brainstorm quick ways to make either potions or devices that we can give or use to prevent hypothermia.

They never give us much time with these things, so let's get on this.


[Second message not too long after the first.]

If anyone with a taser used it last mission and needs it fixed, let me know. If you'd like a taser, also let me know. These are specifically for those who aren't accustomed to fighting.

I can produce fire. In both broad and more detailed sense. Should someone needs to be warmed I can stabilize them and warm them up.

[runs_on_batteries]

Would this ability of yours be hampered if there wasn't something you can catch on fire? How broad are you referring?

[deductiongeek]

I have the feeling the skateboard isn't going to be of much use here. Is the snowboard anywhere near finished?

[runs_on_batteries]

I'm almost done with it. It won't be as well tested as your skateboard though.

[He frowns, unsure if he should really let Conan have it when he was uncertain about it.]

I'll see what I can do to get it finished.

[schrodingersghost]

[It was so weird being honest about having powers. But Danny was trying to get used to it. And maybe it started with volunteering for things like this. ]

I can't help with preventing hypothermia. But, um, I'm pretty sure I can't get it? Like at all? If that's going to be useful at all.

[runs_on_batteries]

That is certainly useful. So I heard after the last mission that you could fly. What else can you do?

[blueberryprincess]

If there's going to be ice and snow involved, my concern is having to start fires quick. Would anyone be willing to help me make self-igniting Molotovs so that we don't have to mess with fires for too long?

[runs_on_batteries]

Oo, that sounds like fun. I'll come help you with that. Don't let Peter near them.

[littlepaperbird]

I can light small campfires instantly.

I can also warm up to a cubic foot of nonliving material for an hour. I wouldn't suggest this for emergency, but to help keep it from happening. I can maintain up to three of these at once, so I could warm up three cubic feet of non living material for an hour. After that hour I would have to re-cast the effect.

[runs_on_batteries]

Why wouldn't you want to use it for an emergency? That sounds very useful.

[utulien_aure]

I know how to make heating devices- I simply need time to prepare them.

[runs_on_batteries]

Is there anything any of us can do to help you? We need as many as you can produce.

[hibana_incursa]

Really wishing I'd ordered my suit instead of my iPhone. That thing kept me warm in cold weather.

We'll chalk this up to idiocy.

[runs_on_batteries]

What did you want your iphone for?

[faithfulson]

We will be fighting the ice itself.

[ Luke's voice sounds vague and distant, like he's remembering something. He shook himself out of it after a moment, a determined frown on his face. ]

Purple team, I'll need to know what everyone's capable of. I have a feeling we'll be front and center this time.

[dredefulchilde]

I’m functionally immortal unless someone cuts off my head, stabs me through the heart with wood or silver, or puts me in direct sunlight without protection. I’ll be just fine battling ice monsters.

[hashtagparkerluck]

Hopefully they'll give us access to winter outerwear again. We should pack extra for any people that might be there.

[runs_on_batteries]

Great idea, kid. I'm sure like all the other missions we'll be given a wardrobe appropriate to this world.

[pleple]

I can use any non-magical tools anyone else comes up with.

Especially any weaponry heavier than a 'taser'.

[runs_on_batteries]

What about a couple knives from the kitchen?

[redarrowqueen]

Fire arrows? I'm a trained archer.

[runs_on_batteries]

Those could be useful, yes. You'll need to be careful not to run out.

[dredefulchilde]

I won’t die in the cold. That’s more than the rest of you lot can say. I’ll take fewer layers, and leave the warm clothing to those that need it.

[Says the ten year old who just spent the last several days sick with a fever.]

[runs_on_batteries]

Are you sure about that?

[faithfulsupport]

I can set fire to my blades, and have a magic flask of Fire or two. I can also heal anyone that is injured.

[He pauses]

Getting to work on gathering rations and healing potions together will be on my list. I would strongly advise my team to get to work on needed things like this too. Since we're in the kitchens, there's no reason food should become an issue on the ground.

[Because this one goes prepared.]

Also I am borrowing a member of the Orange team for this mission.

[runs_on_batteries]

Okay two things, one, what does a magic flask of fire do, and two, who are you stealing for the orange team?

[enthunder]

Some of my magic is fire-based, but you've already seen that.

Re: Video

[runs_on_batteries]

I have! It'll be very useful here. That and your ability to heal most likely.

[tinkerheart]

You know what I can do. [Now, that was terribly helpful, wasn't it?]

[Added after the second message.]

If anyone needs their taser recharged just bring it to me.

[runs_on_batteries]

Yes, but I'm asking for useful skills. Not standing there looking pretty.

[cepicorpus]

I can't help on keeping anyone warm, but I would very much like to know if anyone on red team can see and interact with ghosts and spirits. I would also like to put this to the test before we leave to be certain. I may have better options than others in snow terrain, and my Stand could be a useful long distance form of communication should ... other means become unviable.

[runs_on_batteries]

As far as I know, we don't have people who can communicate with those on the red team. There's someone on the orange and purple team though. Would your Stand be able to travel that far?

[so_dark_a_road]

I'm like my father in many ways. My spirit is a spirit of fire, and so I'm not so prone to hyperthermia as most people are. That means I'll be available for rescue work longer, if there should be a disaster. As an Elvish smith, I have some skills that might come in handy, the ones I learned from my father and my maternal grandfather. I can summon fire.

I can give a first aid course or help pack supplies, whichever you need most. My first aid skills are very basic -- how to carry an injured person safely, how to splint a broken bone, and how to bandage a wound.

[runs_on_batteries]

Don't say that, you're much cuter than your father is.

[He chuckles and then nods along to the rest of what Curufin has to say.]

All very useful skills. I'll tell others you're willing to help give them some instructions on first aid. The basics are good enough in a lot of cases till those with real healing get there.

[shockinglycaffeinated]

I have ways to start fires if necessary, but it’s dangerous to those around me.

[runs_on_batteries]

With Luke or with some way useful to the rest of us?

[unholyandbroken]

I can make Molotov cocktails to act as a weapon?

[runs_on_batteries]

That's helpful. I think Evie was making some of those. Or Eva. Someone with an E, or at least a girl. I don't know, I wasn't paying attention.
