Hi, Snowblind! I'm Catie, and this is Freya, from the JRPG Final Fantasy IX. She's a 21-year-old knight and world traveler who's good with a polearm and bad with talking about her feelings, arriving in Norfinbury after a refreshing airship ride and trips to several scenic locations in a beautiful fantasy world.

Just kidding. She's seen her home city destroyed, a peaceful civilization nuked into a smoldering, sandy hole in the ground, and had her crush break her heart all in just a couple days, and she spent the airship ride on all fours having an emotional breakdown. She's also made a handful of new friends and reunited with an old one, though, so her life hasn't been all bad lately. She's even gotten to help a captured princess escape a very large and monster-filled castle, so that's another step in the right direction! Maybe some winter camping in Norfinbury is just what she needs to get back on her feet again.

Anybody who wants to, please feel free to add me on Plurk at [plurk.com profile] c_rowles! I haven't been in a game for a while, but this setting looked so cool that I couldn't pass it up. Freya's a brand new character for me, too, so I'm looking forward to taking her for a spin.

AREA UNLOCKED
As of day fourteen, building 58 is unlocked, providing access to the ice tunnels beyond. The search requests page has been updated with the amount of squares you can travel in this area, it's different than the residential zones, so make sure you go look!

The ice tunnels are a strange beast; parts seem as if they were intentionally dug out, while other parts have obviously solidified around ruined houses. The ground here is slippery, but it's more sheltered from the weather than the areas outside. Still, it gets far too cold in here to survive the night outside, and you'll still have to seek shelter, even if you can travel a bit more quickly here. It's dark here, with very little light filtering through snow and ice, and it's best to bring your own light source if you can. If you have to, of course, there's always tablet light.

You may realize, as you travel, that the cave slowly slopes down... If the residential zones were on a hill, how high is the snow piled up on top of your heads?
