Chapter 2. Ice

A few days after Tesla, Eric and Clyde travelled to their new location, a storm came, like a thief in the night.
Not even Tesla was able to detect its approach.

Eric: Clyde, did you pay that butcher?

Clyde: yes, 5 emeralds to supply us with food that should last us no more than two weeks

Eric: you gotta admit, the guy is generous

Clyde: Are you kidding me? We could hunt down enough animals in one day to feed a family for months

Eric: yeah but you know me, lazy and maybe just maybe, I'm a guy who doesn't want to get killed for food, have you seen how many super husks are out there? We'd both be dead before we even get back to the village, not to mention we might draw their attention here

Clyde: can't we just power through them?

Eric: no powers for at least a month, that's what Tes said, unless you want to know what disintegration feels like

Clyde: oh yeah... that's dumb though

Eric: it can't be helped, that's what we get for taking loopholes over training

Clyde:I guess so. Wanna explore the village?

Eric: you can go ahead, I'm tired, I need to sleep

Clyde: suit yourself, I'll come back in a few hours, I wanna see if I can get some firewood before winter next week

Eric: I thought snow was only found in snow biomes

Clyde: And I thought it wasn't possible for humans to get into Minecraft... Physically

Eric: Point made, now go collect some firewood

Clyde: "sighs"

The week passed and soon the winter was upon the village, Eric and Clyde had accumulated enough supplies so they won't have to go for supply runs in the cold for at least two months... Tesla was at her lab as usual, she seemed to be very annoyed at the fact that Eric and Clyde have not bothered to set up their side of communications whilst Tesla took hours to set up hers...
Feeling tired, she made her way to the living quarters.

The room was warm, due to the heaters set up for the winter, the walls were coated with a light yellow coat of paint and portraits were hung nearly on every square inch of the rectangular room. At the middle of the room lay a fur carpet and on top of it was a purple sofa, a glass coffee table and a few feet from it was a flat screen television.
Tesla didn't really often watch tv, and if she did, she preffered watching anime or videos on surgery. Tesla or Tes, was often teased by Eric and Kold on how nerdy she was but she was almost usually their go-to-girl when it came to tech and deciphering things. Tesla's intellect is furthermore accompanied by her combat experience, her speed and lethality are what gave her the codename she has now. Not to mention her electrical powers and the fact that she's scientist...

Tesla pulls out her communicator and calls for someone...

Tesla: hello? Can you hear me?

???: loud and clear.

Tesla: good, so how's life been?

???: great so far, still trying to get used to it.

Tesla: how's everyone at the castle?

???: to be honest, not too good, I mean it is peaceful here but people don't seem to trust each other often
