Not exactly, but it's better to get moving than stading in the snow like that ..

... besides, this seems an unexpectedly sensible arrangement, all taken into account.

After having unloaded the car together, Isaac starts to inspect the house, while Harper begins to carry inside their light luggage.
Since they are plannig to spend only one night here and not doing much sleeping either, they've packed more or less just an emergency change of clothes, pjamas and toothbrushes.
Obviously the heaviest it's her own, containing also something 'nicer' for the party.
She has to struggle to take it inside thorugh the fresh snow, but she can't really complain with anyone else.

Recovered a couple of shovels and some tarp from the toolshed, Luke has started clearing from the snow, the area surrounding the entrance.
Ethan instead, has shoveled a tidy ditch around his car, and now is lovingly covering it with the tarp before joining his friend.

A couple of hours later, their are all inside, sat around the table together.

Luke and Ethan look exhausted, clearing all the perimeter of the house form a layer up to three feet thick of snow, was definetly more tiring than they expected.
Still, it has been a nice warm up for them.

Isaac and Harper, have brought all the load of their car inside, baggages, two boxes full of liquors, some decorations and foodstuff for the party, snacks mostly, stowing everything in its place.
A lighter job, wich didn't warm them up as much as their friends, but done partly indoor.

"Ok guys, a few service informations:

-One bathroom, that way, the boiler capacity is not that great, it can barely last three hot showers, keep that in mind, don't waste water.

-Kitchen, over there, last century tech, no fridge, low energy consumption, perfect for the old oil-fueled electric generator of the house, moreso given that uncle didn't refuel last time he came...
It's possible that we'll be **** to borrow some oil from the car for tonight.

-Two bedrooms, double beds, upstairs, sorry E.T., Harper came first so i've let her decide wich one to take already.

-Fireplace, needs wood, it would be best to have it lighted before night falls.
Should be all, for now."

"This place is a freezing dump, it's nothing like you described it, Isy!" Whines Harper, breathing into her hands.

"Yeah dude, isn't there something we can do to warm it up? Can't you turn on the heating or something?"Agrees her boyfriend.

"No can't do. Did you hear anything of what i've just said? There is no 'heating', just the fireplace. The stove out in the toolshed it's only for the water and the gas tank supplies only the kitchen burner and oven." Replies them seraphic Isaac.

"Still better than, being outside, isn't it?" He adds rubbing his hands together and then breathing on them.

"So how are we supposed to warm ourselves up?" Fronws Ethan, he too shivering.

"Move, keep yourself busy, chop some wood, that would help greatly ... I don't know, maybe do some squats?"

"We could drink something ..."

"It's barely noon, Harper, and you know i don't drink..."

"Well, it would be just like anticipating the party a little, i don't think it would be that bad ... Anyway i was just suggesting to put on some tea, genius."

"Oh. That would be ... nice of you, thanks."

"I wasn't exactly offering myself to do it..."

"But you're the woman here, kitchen is you natural habitat ..."

"Who else votes for having Harpy prepare some tea?" He replies quickly raising his hand with a smirk.

"Oh come on, this is not fair. I'm not your friggin' servant, guys ... "
