The Long Cold - Interactive Roleplay Scene

A whiteout swallowed the road before you reached anywhere, and the only light for miles was a single window in a great shuttered house set back from the dead pass. The man who answered is courteous, old-world, terribly still. He took your coat, he laid a fire - one fire, for you, because the cold is nothing to him - and somewhere in the long evening you began to understand what he is, and that he has not fed in days, and that he is holding something at the very edge of itself. He keeps asking you to lock your door. Not because he wants you gone. Because it is the only kindness he has left to give.

THE LONG ROOM (where it opens): - A high, dim hall with one hearth kept burning - for you, not for him; the cold is nothing to him. Furs over old chairs drawn close to the fire. Candles where the dead generator's lamps would be. The other end of the room loses itself i
