Yeah

After having unloaded the car all together, Isaac starts to inspect the house, while the other three begin to carry inside their light luggage.
Since they are plannig to spend only one night here and not doing much sleeping either, everyone has packed more or less just an emergency change of clothes, pjamas and toothbrushes.
Everyone but Harper ...
Her bag is considerably heavier that the others, containing also something 'nicer' for the party.
She has to struggle to take it inside through the fresh snow, but she can't really complain with anyone else.
Well, maybe Luke could have offered her a little help, given that he is the actual 'final user', so to say, but he didn't.

Thirty minutes later, their are all inside, sat on around the table together.

Everyone feels cold, but at least they got inside quickly by working together.
Bringing all that was in car inside, baggages, two boxes full of liquors, decorations and foodstuff for the party, snacks mostly, and stowing everything in its place, wasn't exactly a physical job, so the guys didn't warm themselves up nearly at all.
Harper is the only one who managed to warm herself up a bit, given that her luggage was quite heavy.

"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, E.T., Harpy, i don't want to have anything to do this decision ... If you **** me, i'll toss a coin to assign them.

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

"You know what, Isy? This place is so frigging cold, it's nothing like you described it ..." Grumbles Harper, rubbing 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 their friend.

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

"So how the fuck 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 jump on place?"

"Wait, didn't you offer yourself to prepare tea for everyone, Harpy?"

"Sure, i did ... One anti-freeze special tea for everyone, then. Coming right up!"

"What's so special about your tea?"

"You'll see soon enough ... secret recipe!" Replies the girl with a smirk.

"Pumpkin ... what are you up to? You know he ..."

"Shush! It will be all right ..."

"Oh well, how intriguing ... I'm looking forward to taste it, thank you, Harper."

"You're welcome ... "

"But don't get used to it, guys, i'm only doing this once, next time you should seriously consider bringing your mommies along guys ... " She adds rightly afterwards.
