Oh the weather outside is frightful...

☀THE WARM AND TOASTY MEME☀
The situation: It is dreadfully cold. Think 'ice cave where all those slash fics are set'.
The goal: Keep each other warm tonight!

☀ STEP ONE: Comment with your characters. One comment for each character.
☀ STEP TWO: Other people reply to your characters.
☀ STEP THREE: Both participants are aware that they should/must keep nice and warm. To do that, you need to bundle up nice and closely, however grudgingly. No, killing your threadmate and cuddling the body doesn't count.
☀ STEP FOUR: Keep 'em warm! Hot cocoa, hot coffee, hot tea, hot mustard, or other suitably warming beverages will be provided if you cooperate.
☀ STEP FIVE: Lulz ensue!

((Basically just a winter-themed cuddle meme, with evil ideas from Shae and Col. Add some cuddle urges in the air if your characters won't otherwise cooperate but you want them to.))

[Wraps half the blanket around her]

I'm not about to let anyone die from exposure.

[starbolts]

[Lifts her hand to draw it closed around them, breathing a little sigh of relief]

Thank you very much. I apologize for the intrusion..

[It's still nicer than the temperature she'd just felt...and hey, are those hot mugs?]

[darknight-ren.livejournal.com]

[Tries not to be too uncomfortable]

Until help gets here, it should be fine.

[Sees the mugs and reaches for one, containing tea]

Convenient.

[starbolts]

[Trying to keep them warm and still give him space...it's not much, but at least they're not pressed against each other?]

Then I hope it is here soon.

[Oh, she has a beverage too! It's hot...mustard! Sips happily, compelled by that odd odor.] And delightful!

[At least that makes her happy.]

[Gives Starfire's mug a look]

Mustard?

[starbolts]

[Nods]

I am aware that humans do not classify mustard as a beverage, but to me it is...comforting. The taste reminds me of my home.

[darknight-ren.livejournal.com]

[Nods back]

That I can understand. It's important to remember these things.

[starbolts]

[Smiles faintly]

Then is tea important to you?

[darknight-ren.livejournal.com]

My friends and I often sat around having tea at home, after difficult battles.

[Smiles very slightly as he realizes he called them his friends]

[starbolts]

[She nods and sips, catching that look. So some things do make him happy.]

My friends preferred pizza after every battle, but we could never come to an agreement about the toppings.

[darknight-ren.livejournal.com]

[Amused look]

That's normal. The only reason Kido and I could agree on anything was because Yui got it before we could argue.

[starbolts]

In our group, Raven would always make the swift decisions. Without her, it has become less efficient.

[Smiles and tugs the blankets tighter] It is becoming easier to locate what you all refer to as the 'middle ground'.

[darknight-ren.livejournal.com]

There's a lot more compromises we have to learn to make here. More people to get used to.

[starbolts]

And more cultures to consider. Often, our basic rules do not agree.

[darknight-ren.livejournal.com]

They don't always agree within the same culture either.

[boundlesslight.livejournal.com]

True.

[Smiles wryly]

It is sometimes said that accomplishing anything is miraculous for us.

[darknight-ren.livejournal.com]

[Same exact grin]

Very true.
