[ continued from here ]

I'd prefer not to allow others to dictate who I am...even if it is "me" in another life. All the same...

[ reference and:

1. Build a snowman somewhere around town!
2. Be a bell ringer or a present wrapper at a local store.
3. Model for a charity calendar.

timeskip to outdoors with a lot of snow for option one? ]

I've never really done this before.

[ TIMESKIP POWERS HO probably even post-carols and such they got new tasks and... ]

Oh really! I used to a lot when I was young!

[ Though the whole missing arm thing made it a little wonkier. She can work this prosthetic now though, so. ]

Then you can take the lead here...what should I do first?

Well first we need to collect a bunch of snow together! Get it big enough that we can start rolling it as an effective ball to pick up more. That'll be the base of it.

[ Nod, nod.

So let's go and find an appropriate flat plane to work from here with the snow largely not mushed down. ]

That sounds simple enough...

[ and she is Permanently in gloves these days so it's not even too bad to start rolling the snow together, even if the gloves are specially made for other purposes of not getting in the way. ]

Though a little bit of effort.

[ rolling snow can be Hard ]

Once you get going, it's less than you'd think... but yeah, it can be rough to start.

[ Let's get to packing in our initial snow ball. ]

I'd say we should bribe some children, but...

[ SO FAR SO GOOD it's just slow going ]

That defeats the point of it being our chore, does it not?

There's that. Also, it isn't the most tiring work. Just a little time-consuming.

[ base ball 1 done? ]

Okay! Now for a basic one, we just repeat the same twice with two smaller balls.

[ See, it's easy. ]

Then let's split the two of those so we can get them done at the same time.

Okay, let's do it!

[ Nod and...! Let's!! Roll it!! She'll aim to do the small one ]

[ and kyouko will fairly competently do the middle one! and then roll it up and onto their other one... ]

[ Hers is the smallest so... let's just lift it up carefully in both hands. She's gotten good enough with her prosthetic she thinks she can manage it.

Let's get it on the snow man. ]

[ and three balls are piled on! success. ]

And now we just decorate it...?

Mmmhm! Usually you'd use something to make some eyes, mouth, and a nose. Maybe sticks for arms if we like too. A hat...

[ What did they have on hand. She might have something worth it in her purse. ]

...I have some hard candies we could sacrifice for eyes, but I can also just locate some rocks.

[ if she moves enough snow aside on the ground? ]

I've got some carrots that we can use to make the mouth out of purse. Hold on.

[ And let's get those out!! So she can put them in place - little mini carrots. ]

Are we using your snack...? [ but she's having no luck with rocks, so hard candies it is for the eyes. ]

I was going to use it for the mouth, yes. It seems easy enough!

[ Here they are. Time to put a row of them in place to make a carrot-smile... ]

...Well, I think it looks professional?

[ ish ]

Why don't you put in the candies for the eye or nose?

All right. [ she's doing that, pausing to debate unwrapping them before deciding the wrapping makes it look more festive...three are contributed for the eyes and nose. ]

Mmm, okay!

[ She take a step back to nod at their little snowman. Well... ]

Should we try to get some arms or clothing on it?

I can locate two sticks, but I don't really have any clothing on me I'm willing to sacrifice...I suppose we could try to mold a snow scarf?
