Don't you live in a van in the woods?

[colonelcannibal]

I live in a fort, actually, but the buildings are all about 200 years old. Bot much in the way of insulation, hmm?

[its_zola]

You just got to pick a building or a room or two and seal it so your heat don't escape.

[colonelcannibal]

It doesn't bother me as much as it should, really . . .

[its_zola]

You know that was creepy, don't you?

[colonelcannibal]

Which bit, exactly?

[its_zola]

The way you said it, the look on your face.

[colonelcannibal]

The Wendigo is a spirit of winter. Being akin to a wendigo, I quite enjoy the kind of winter that freezes normal humans to death.

What do you do, pile them up behind an oak tree like you got a deep freezer?

[colonelcannibal]

There's an icebox, actually. It's a bit primitive by modern standards, but it does work.

[its_zola]

I'm not saying your struggle isn't real.

[sticksandleaves]

Yes. Soon.

[colonelcannibal]

It can be so beautiful, though, I hardly mind.

[colonelcannibal]

I'm used to it. I was born in the early 1800s, after all.

[its_zola]

You lived at the fort all this tome??

[colonelcannibal]

Most of it, yes. I arrived there in . . . ah, 1847 I believe.

[its_zola]

Why didn't you leave?

[colonelcannibal]

I travel a fair bit, but the fort is somewhere I'm used to. Plus, it's beautiful out there . . .
