    In that case, Evan heads out to them, "Alright you lot, line up in front of me! I'm here to check if you did what I asked."He stands with his hands behind his back, looking appraisingly at the drones.

    "Not this early, no." Hildur stands up and stretches a little. Normally she got up just after sunrise for her morning run, but an hour or two made quite the difference.

    "So, are we heading off now, or do I have time to get used to being up?"

    The drones quickly lay off of one another and scramble to get in line. Their brains have been conditioned to react with as much haste as possible when someone gives an order. They're disheveled, with broken visors or crooked helmets in several instances.

    The one designated as their leader - E50 is the tag - gives Evan a salute. "Sir?"

    "Dare." Cessie replies, looking rather amused as well. It was good to see everyone seemed to have a good time.

    The knight quickly wipes her/his blade clean with an pink napkin which she/he seems to have kept around for situations like this. "So much for sneakiness..." She/he mumbles to her/himself before looking around to see if more bandits have been alerted by the screams.

    Idea idea idea. She needs an idea. Ah ha! "I dare you to dance for us." With any luck this will end up rather silly. Sakura doesn't actually know how well Cessie dances.

    "You have some time to pray or get changed or whatever other morning things you do!" Sister Agatha replies gleefully. "I'm just supposed to make sure you don't go back to sleep. That's a problem with pilgrims sometimes!"

    Falling asleep due to being required to get up absurdly early and all.

    "You've got about ten minutes, then everyone is going to be cleaning the floor together in the sanctuary! It'll be fun!"

    ...

    ....

    Wow.

    Agatha can have fun with anything.

    The clones shuffle their feet and stare straight ahead. They would look at one another awkwardly, but Evan's ordered them to stand at attention.

    The one at the end of the line - an identical clone with the tag E11 - hesitates momentarily. "How well, sir? How do we determine that?"

    Adir seems to be game. He offers his hand to Cessie, cocking an eyebrow wryly. "Shall we? Don't worry, I've got practice dancing around pregnant bellies." He leans toward Harnel conspiratorially, but says it loud enough for all to hear anyway. "A little too much practice..."

    "Okay." Hildur searches through her backpack for anything to fix her hair with... nope. She'd just have to live with bed-hair, then. And she definitely didn't have the time to get a bath or anything like that.

    She stands up and paces around for a bit, just to keep from nodding off.

    Upon joining others in the Sanctuary (she can't miss it!) she'll find six Nuns diligently washing the floor with scrub-brushes and a few buckets of water!

    It's pretty hard work, really.

    But they seem to be having fun with it!

    Mostly because, as usual, Sister Agatha has managed to find a way to make a game of the mundane and tedious. It's a gift of her's really.

    "Hello!" she calls out to Hildur. "C'mon! You can be on my team! We're racing to the other side of the room!"

    Oh boy!

    Nun racing!

    Hildur makes sure to remove her boots before heading into the Sanctuary to clean the floor. She's not the best at the chore, by any means, but she does manage to have fun while cleaning.

    And so the cleaning is complete!

    Sadly Hildur's team loses... She was probably the weak link. But she shouldn't feel bad! Once the cleaning is done breakfast will be served. The food is pretty darn simple stuff. Though warm and nutritious. Sorta like oatmeal. Though somewhat shy on oats.

    Agatha will sit down next to the snowboarder and begin making introductions!

    "Okay, you met Sister Clare already. And of course you know me! The others are Sister Terra, Sister Tabitha, Sister Phoebe, and Sister Rachel."

    And then!

    Suddenly!

    In comes a very large, elderly woman! She takes her place at the head of the table!

    "And that's Mother Martha. She's the Matron of the Abbey."

    Hildur was definitely the weak link in that particular game, but she doesn't feel too bad about it. At least she had fun, after all.

    She is a pretty quick eater, even if the breakfast served is really bland. "It is a pleasure to meet you all," she says. "I'm Hildur Lange, if you didn't already now that."

    There will be many introductions! Each of the Nuns in kind. And each in kind seems kind enough! Some are quieter than others. And Sister Terra seems a bit... cold.

    None of them are nearly as exuberant as Sister Agatha, however.

    As the meal is coming to a close the Matron offers Hildur a soft, motherly smile. "Tell us, child. Are you here only for the peace and solace that the Emperor provides in this our sanctuary? Or do you wish to join our order?"

    Oooh!

    Good question!

    All the Nuns look at Hildur expectantly for an answer!

    Hildur swallows and hesitates a little when she's asked about joining. It hadn't really crossed her mind that much yet. Would she have to give up snowboarding for that? That's a very important question that she has no idea how to ask.

    "I'm... not entirely sure yet. It's a big decision for me." That'll probably be a disappointing answer.

    Disappointing?

    Not really.

    It wasn't 'no'.

    That means she's still considering it!

    The Matron replies with a simple nod. "Fair enough. You'll learn much about our order in your time here. And if you feel inclined to join us then we will rejoice for a new Sister. If not then we will bid you peace when we part ways."

    Huh.

    She doesn't seem mad about it at all.

    Not even a little!

    Hildur nods and smiles a little. "Yeah, you're right." She doesn't talk much more after that, mostly because she's thinking about whether or not the order is for her.

    Once the meal is over the Nuns will go about their Nunny business. It mostly involves (some) more chores and lots and lots of meditation. Some of them head out into the courtyard despite the cold to practice their Devotions.

    Others scribe copies of the Holy Law.

    In all it's a fairly busy place.

    Just...

    A quiet sort of busy.

    Hildur will be left to her own devices!

    Does she observe the Nuns?

    Explore the surrounding mountain side?

    Try to craft a snowboard?

    The possibilities are endless!

    Hildur decides that she'll explore the mountainside a little. She's probably looking for a good hill to ride down, even though she doesn't have a board with her. She'll also end up looking for a good, thick piece of wood for making a snowboard, because she's that obsessed with it.

    Finding a snowing hillside won't be that hard.

    If there's anything Mount Anthor has it's snowy hillsides.

    As for getting a suitable piece of wood...

    That might be a little harder.

    And without the proper tools to craft a board with?

    That'll be a real bugger.

    But if nothing else Hildur is determined when it comes to her passion! Though... might she be so determined that she doesn't notice the yeti following her? Only time will tell.

    ...

    Oh yeah.

    There's totally a yeti following her.

    Hildur won't notice for a few minutes that she's being followed. If the yeti's footsteps are easy to hear (which they should be, given that it's a yeti,) she'll turn her head and see it, and immediately do absolutely do nothing except for wonder what the hell that thing is.

    The yeti is fairly quiet for how big it is!

    But eventually the thing steps on a branch hidden in the snow and the loud snap should alert Hildur to the creature's presence. As for appearance... Y'know wampas from Star Wars?

    Yeah.

    Kind of like that.

    The creature is just watching the snowboard for now.

    Waiting.

    Well, the sight of a creature so much larger than her has caused Hildur to change her mind about exploring the mountain, and she tries to backtrack to the abbey while keeping her eyes on the creature.

    [Mount Anthor - Yeti!]

    The yeti gives a horrible bellow, shaking the very earth below Hildur's feet!

    The wind picks up suddenly, whipping the snow into a blinding flurry! Visibility drops to nearly nothing as the air becomes biting cold. The driving snow will sting at Hildur's eyes and she may find herself disoriented rather easily.

    ...

    Despite the howl of the wind she can hear the yeti.

    Its grunts and growls and snarls.

    And it is drawing closer, sniffing and snuffling, following her scent trail across the snow.

    That does not help her very much. Why didn't she bring her goggles with her? Hildur, who is really scared about now, abandons all rationality and breaks into a panicked run in the direction she thinks the abbey's still in.

    Cessie shoots another stare at Adir, this wasn't exactly what she had planned. "Do you waltz Adir? I fear it really won't be much of a dance at all in this state." The idea of physical activity wasn't too tempting right now.

    A panicked run isn't a very wise course of action. But often times when people are faced with great personal danger they don't think very rationally.

    Hildur runs!

    She might be running toward the Abbey.

    She might be running toward the edge of a cliff.

    The deep snow makes progress difficult to say the least.

    But wait...

    What's this?

    A voice. Singing in the distance. A piercing melody rising above the howl of the wind and the grunting of the yeti.
