[Belle is quite pleased when she wakes up and sees the bright white-ness of snow falling outside her window. Despite the cold she's always loved this time of year when the snow comes and covers everything and the lakes ice up. There's a simple beauty to it that she's always favored. Plus snow is very fun to play with.

So she wasts no time in getting out of bed and dressing in her warmest of clothes before hurrying outside to enjoy the weather. Anyone passing by House 17 will most likely catch Belle during one of the following activities: building a snowman, making snow angels, or engaging people in a good old fashioned snow ball fight. Anyone who is up for a little fun in the snow is more then welcome to join her.

Later in the afternoon she'll pull out her journal and dictate a quick message for the village.]

Hello Luceti. I'm sure everyone has noticed that the snow has started falling by now. It has made me wonder what sort of seasonal activities others enjoy the most. Personally I quite enjoy playing in the snow, making snowballs or snow-people. So my question is, what sort of activities to you enjoy the most this time of year?

I'll say coffee was the easiest drink to get. [Although it wasn't uncommon for them to get alcohol, either, this is polite conversation.]

I see. Coffee is quite good but I have always favored hot cocoa. Especially on the coldest of days.

Hot cocoa sounds nice, yeah. I haven't had the chance to have some in a while.

Would you like to? I was thinking of perhaps making some this afternoon.

If that's all right with you. I wouldn't turn down such a kind invitation.

It's perfectly alright. Come by anytime. I live in House 17.

Thank you. I'll be around, then. My name is Maiza, by the way.

It's nice to meet you Maiza, I'm Belle.

Oh! And if you run into someone else when you come over, please don't be frightened. It's just Beast. His appearance is just a little...strange for some.

Strange? [Maybe he's a big scary guy? That must be it. It would also explain the name, it's probably a nickname, yes.]

All right, I'll make sure to remember that when I get there -- what can I recognize you by?

Oh well...I have dark hair and I'm wearing a light pink dress. [And then a thought comes to her.]

Maybe I can just show you instead! [And she switches to video, smiling, a backdrop of snow around her.]

[The color video surprises him, more than anything. He's seen televisions but this is still an amazing technological thing. Aah, wonders. He quickly switches on over to video, himself.]

That's definitely easier. I'll see you around in a bit, then?

Yes. Goodbye until then Maiza!

Goodbye until then, Miss Belle.

[Sometime later Belle is in the kitchen preparing a few cups of cocoa. One for Beast and one for her, surely. But she can't help making an extra cup just in case her Maiza decides to come.]

[Belle will get a knock on her door! He waited a little as not to rush her, but he's not too late, either.]

[She carefully sets the last cup onto the tray and then rushes to answer the door. Seeing who it is, she smiles and pushes the door further open so he has room to enter.]

Monsieur Maiza! I'm so happy you could come.

[He takes off his hat once she opens the door and smiles, thanking her, before stepping in.]

Greetings, Miss Belle. Thank you again for the invite. I hope this was an all right time to arrive.

It's the perfect time! I just finished making the cocoa. They should still be plenty hot.

Is that so? I'm glad I got here on time then.

[He smiles wider and closes the door behind him.]
