You'll all want to start wearing as much wool clothing as possible.
If you go into the pond, it'll likely save your life.
You're welcome.

i'm going to run out of wool clothes with how much i end up in that pond
but i'm getting great at breaking ice from the wrong side

[He's very mad about this situation.]

[demonicmiracle]

Clothing isn't one use only

[RIGHT??? That's why washing machines exist?? Maybe he got this detail wrong about humans.]

Could start carrying a pick axe, too

[ribticklers]

i don't want to do that much laundry
can you swing one of those hard enough underwater to break ice?

[Sans has no idea. He has never used a pickaxe.]

[demonicmiracle]

Better than hypothermia
Wouldn't have to swing it, could sort of just bash it against the ice, then use it to haul yourself out

@sans since I just realized I never specified his username whoops

[ribticklers]

maybe i'll give it a shot
i'm overdue for my latest dunking anyway
they're probably mad i'm keeping all the doors open now

["They" being "whoever is responsible for this teleportation".]

lmao its ok

[demonicmiracle]

I've only gone under once so far, thankfully

[This is a lie, but — it's complicated.]

You reckon it's a they?

[Genuine question, he's curious about what theories other people have.]

[ribticklers]

i guess it could all be random
but someone probably started everything going
or someones
whatever

[It's a very vague theory, but Sans hasn't been thinking about it too hard.]

[demonicmiracle]

I'd just figured God was cross with me

[Hahaha funny joke.]

But, nah, I doubt it's random. Only wish we could work out who or what's pulling the strings.

[ribticklers]

the mayor's the one who said he made the christmas village, right?
guess you could start there

you really think a wool sweater would have helped in that situation?

( wet wool doesn't sound that much warmer than no wool at all, but honestly he's not a wool expert. )

[demonicmiracle]

There's a reason Norsemen wore a lot of wool when they went out on the ocean.

It doesn't take on water like other textiles and keeps you warm while it's drying

[webdesigned]

huh. guess there's a reason my aunt always gave me wool sweaters
anything has to be better than socks. another pro tip: wear shoes even inside, you'll be glad you did if you end up in creepy christmas town

[demonicmiracle]

Sensible lady, your aunt
You aren't the lad that pulled me out of the pond, are you? I'm the Brit with red hair, if that helps

[They've had two conversations and are yet to trade names.]

[webdesigned]

that's me, yeah. i figured you might be speaking from experience on winter pond swimming
i'm peter. unless you want to keep it to lad that pulled you from a pond and brit with red hair, but that's a real mouthful

[demonicmiracle]

I've been unlucky a couple times. Your feet alright?
Peter will do. I'm Crowley, if it wasn't obvious.

[Can guarantee he's gonna forget Peter's name and call him "that lad from the pond" at some point again.]

[webdesigned]

you've ended up in there more than once??? you're not kidding, that is unlucky, wow.
as for my feet i got feeling back in my toes after a day or so. i have been sleeping with my shoes on, just in case, and so far so good. what about you, you managed to warm up yet?

[demonicmiracle]

I reckon God might be punishing me

[A VERY FUNNY JOKE.]

Glad you didn't lose any toes. I'm fine, learned enough lessons from the first time. For the best, too, I'd had no idea that hot baths were a bad idea and it would've been my solution to the problem.

@daylight, text.

At the rate this keeps happening, I'm going to switch out the wool for a pair of floaties. Willing to share for those who need it.

[ do they have floaties in this time period? he's going to invent them if not, because he fell in one time and, frankly, that's enough times, thank you very much. ]

[demonicmiracle]

What the deuce is a floatie

[sunborne]

The greatest and funniest invention made by man. You can float in water safely enough, even if you can’t swim!, but you look hilariously dumb as a consequence.

[demonicmiracle]

Oh, those awful plastic things they put on children?
Don't think they'd help much with hypothermia, though. That's the problem once you're out of the water

[sunborne]

Oh. Right. Hypothermia being an issue.

I keep forgetting that’s a thing we have to worry about now. It’s not something I’m used to. Conventionally, at least.

[demonicmiracle]

[Inch... resting...]

And why is it that you're not used to worrying about hypothermia?

[sunborne]

I used to have rapid accimilation. Basically means if I’m put into extreme conditions like hostile weather or environment, my body will adapt to it.

[ and he's been missing it since he got here. it'll be nice to not have to spend, like, an hour bundling himself up to avoid frostbite. ]

[demonicmiracle]

Must have been nice.

[His own approach to the weather tended to simply rely on the fact that he didn't want to experience extremes in temperature, and so he didn't.]

So you're like the rest of us schmucks now, then? Completely human?

[It had vaguely occurred to him that there could be others, like him and Aziraphale, but this is his first time running into someone.]
