With the colder weather comes some discomfort. ... For myself, in particular. [a soft clearing of his throat.]

I am looking for some help in heating up a room-- heating a flat preferably, but even one room would be enough. A small device might not be enough for me, because... well. [for a few seconds, the video feed is on, showing a pale hand around something tube-shaped and covered in lustrous black scales, very long, the ends disappearing off-camera.

it's a snake tail. his tail, specifically.]

I am quite sensitive to the cold and will become sluggish, perhaps not as much as actual serpent-beasts, but still. I can't very well brumate until the weather warms up again, now can I?

I shall repay anyone who can help.

We'll have to do it ourselves, starting with proper trousers for tails.

[declass]

I can't believe I have to cut holes into my own clothing.
Who do we complain to?

[prozaic]

Now that's unfair to the people who make them. Perhaps if one of us could befriend a tailor though, that might help our troubles.

[declass]

I've met some good cooks, but I am not sure about a tailor though...
People should advertise these skills more.

[prozaic]

Then I will just have to refine my skill until you do.

[declass]

If it takes too long, you may become the skilled tailor that we need...

[prozaic]

If that does happen, I can only take comfort that we are the only two with tails here.

[declass]

For now...
Although i am not sure how I'd feel if more showed up.

[prozaic]

If any of the elite operators appear, we must be very, very concerned.
But if anyone with a tail from another world appears, I would actually be pleasantly surprised that we're no longer alone.

[declass]

Has anyone said anything about yours?

[prozaic]

Of course. When they realise what I am, you know how people get.

[declass]

Well, I hope no one has been too weird about it.
It's one thing to be surprised, but it's another to be all...

You know.

[prozaic]

You can say judgemental. I'm accustomed to such things from others, no need to worry.
