"Looks like that blizzard is getting worse." Philza commented, setting a cup of hot chocolate in front of Technoblade, who was staring out the window.

"Do you think Ranboo will be alright?" Techno asked.

"Definetely. I told him he can teleport into the house anytime if he wants." Philza sat down and stretched his wings. "You know, I think this is the first blizzard you're awake for."

Techno chuckled. "The voices decided to wake me up and I couldn't get back to sleep. So, here I am."

As soon as they were mentioned the voices went from almost silent murmering to laughing and taunting Techno. "Oh, there they go."

Philza laughed. "They'll calm down soon. There isn't much to do during a blizzard, anyway. The voices get really quiet during weather like this, right?"

"Yep." Techno picked up the cup of hot chocolate and took a sip.

"Oh, by the way, I moved Carl to my house when I realized the weather was gonna get bad."

"Yeah, I noticed. Thanks."

"No problem, mate."

The sound of teleporting echoed in the hallway. Ranboo walked into the room with a troubled look. "Hey, Ranboo." Philza greeted.

"Hey, Phil. Uh...so I saw something in the snow." Ranboo looked out the window.

Techno set his cup down. "What did you see?"

"I'm not sure, it was a silhouette. It was pretty hard to see."

Philza stood up and put a coat on. "You boys stay here, I'll go check it out."

"I can come as well." Techno offered.

"No, no, stay with Ranboo. Besides, it was probably just an animal or something. I won't be long." The hybrid smiled and headed towards the front door.

"What do you think it was?" Ranboo asked Techno.

Techno shrugged. "Voices are suggesting a bunch of animals- Why would Tommy come all the way here? He's in Snowchester with Tubbo and last I checked wants nothing to do with me."

Ranboo didn't address what Techno said about Tommy, assuming he was talking to a voice. "You think Phil will be okay?"

"He'll be fine." Techno stretched and sighed.

Ranboo smiled and snickered. "Your hair is a mess."

"Yeah, well...that's what happens when you roll out of bed and know you won't be going outside." The pinkette huffed.

As those two were talking in the warmth of the house, Philza was out in the blizzard looking for the silhouette Ranboo had been talking about. It was hard to see through the billions of snowflakes that smacked his skin and wings, and the wind howled in his ears. Phil had always hated blizzards. Techno seems to like them, though.

He was out there for a good minute or so until he saw something - well, someone, stumbling through the snow. It looked like they were trying to get to the house where a warm light shown through the windows, courtesy of the fire Phil set up that morning.

"Hey! Are you alright?" Phil called out, immediately rushing to the person. He couldn't recognize who it was but he frankly didn't care, all that mattered was getting them inside and warming them up.

The person flinched and whipped their heads towards Phil. They began stumbling towards him. Now that he was closer he could see they were wearing orange clothes, but their face was covered by their hair and snow. "You okay?" Phil asked as the person leaned against and hugged him. "Hey, hey, lets get you inside. You'll be okay.."

Techno and Ranboo were surprised when Philza brought someone into the house. "Oh...it was a person." Ranboo murmered.

"We'll be in another room." Phil said, carefully leading the poor freezing soul down a hallway.

Ranboo looked at Techno once Phil was out of hearing range. "Did you notice their clothes?"

"Yeah, why?"

"I...I just feel like I've seen that specific clothing somewhere."

"Ranboo, you're talking about recognizing clothes. Anyone could've been wearing them-"

"No, no, like...prison wear. They looked like what a prisoner would wear."

Techno went silent before laughing. "Dream couldn't have escaped the prison-"

"He did, last week. Nobody knows how. Sapnap, George, and Sam chased him for a while but lost him in some thick woods." Ranboo explained, staring out the window. "I didn't tell you guys about it since I figured you wouldn't care. Tommy and Tubbo were freaking out about it."

"Oh. Oh, wow." Techno breathed.

"Yeah..."

They sat in silence for a bit, the only sound being Techno drinking his hot chocolate and Phil's incomprehensible murmering in the other room.

It wasn't until at least an hour later that Phil came out again. "Hey, Phil. Have you figured out who that is?" Techno asked.

"Yeah. It's Dream."
