[@JFK] Regarding your character's status, I've PMed you. Welcome back.

Minnenoona is not in a "permanent winter" but it is late November right now and the Great Lakes region. So very damp, very cold. There's a massive noreaster projected to blow in off Lake Michigan Friday evening (which is when my posts are currently set).

Go ahead and finish what you've got and we can handle Joe's detention (not necessarily arrest, to be clear) afterward. Nonchronology is fine.
