[ Someone's chilling in boxers in a steaming hot spring he'd obviously made for himself. Problem is, everything around him is covered in an ungodly amount of snow. ]

You never actually miss the sight of hot babes in short skirts and plunging necklines until your spire gets dumped in a place so cold Satan would probably freeze his butthairs off. On the bright side, I think I might've spotted a yeti. Or that might've been someone's mother-in-law, who knows?

[ Still, Johnny looks largely unaffected by the mildly unfriendly climate. He's fishing an egg out of the hot spring, cracking it on the ice. It's hard-boiled. ]

So, anyway, Gailleann's basically stuck in Everwinter. When life gives you snowballs, make an awesome sport out of it, right? [ He bites into the egg, chews carefully, then swallows and adds: ] If you're sick of the tropical, muggy weather and want to come by, the Spire's open to you. The fires are always burning in Gaillean. Just don't try to kill anyone, and we're good.

More importantly: there's a new skating rink that my guys just worked overtime to make, and a bunch of awesome slopes I spent days creating; go nuts on it and tell me what you think! I'm always a fan of continuous improvement.

[In spite of everything, Simon still found that Johnny's antics made him smile. He'd mostly stayed at the spire since he arrived back here, Jack having been kind enough to offer him a room. Johnny, too, had never been anything but good to him.

At the moment, though, he's boarded a ship and is headed across the sea to the more familiar continent where Dorchadas and Glaschu could be found. There had been some talk of new shardbearers arriving soon, and, stupidly, he couldn't resist going to see who would be among them. So he's looking a little less downcast than he's usually been lately, having, at the moment, swung back around to hoping Kieren would come back, even though he knew he probably shouldn't. Another part of his brightened mood is thanks to this broadcast. He also has something he'd been meaning to bring to Johnny's attention. A couple of things, actually.]

I'll have to give that ice rink a try when I get back. [He'd never been skating, though.] Since you're talking about improvement, is there an easier way to get to the spire? It's far from the nearest fairy ring, maybe your court might build one for you if you asked?

[He turns, sitting down, and the sea can no longer be seen behind him.] Maybe you already know, but Leathann's looking for trading partners, they're wanting to get back on their feet. [He didn't know that Johnny, too, had been at the Leathann festival, he hadn't really spent an awful lot of time there.] I thought Gailleann could be part of that, if you wanted. It'd help a lot of the people there.

[ Well hey, look who's popped up! Johnny grins. ] Yeah, I was just thinking about asking the court to make me a fairy ring, so it's less annoying to get to -- but for now, I do the whole transport thing! We've got sleds and you can sometimes use the Johnny Storm Express if you've got the stomach for it.

[ He settles in thoughtfully, regarding him. ] Trade, huh? I like the sound of that. The people here need more than just food and clothes, and I'm thinking of getting trade going, too. Are you brokering for Leathann?
