the work that we put in
Feb. 6th, 2025 03:49 am[The original thread is here and includes some downtime (ice skating) for Heather, and an appearance by several Appalachian cryptids.]
Heather has been living in the Oak and Iron since she got here. Despite her plans to make and sell alcohol to the residents of the island, there is no way to rush the acquisition of her stock. Fermentation times are what they are, after all.
But the winter weather brings the possibility of jacking... putting the alcohol outside to freeze, and then removing the ice crystals that form. It reduces the water content and thus increases the percentage of alcohol by volume. She has applejack and perry to work on in this fashion.
[1] You may come across her hauling barrels around (easily, despite the fact that it's just her) between the outdoor places she's stashed them in, and the small wooden shack she raised to keep her scavenged supplies in.
[2] You may see her with opened barrels, fishing out ice with a set of long metal tongs.
[3] Or, you may be lucky enough to be approached by Heather holding a small bottle and offering a taste test.
