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.))

It is solar energy. If I apply it to a small area and intensify the heat, it will ignite the material.

[She creeps closer to it, curled into a ball for warmth.] Are you defrosting?

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Solar energy?

That is so like you. And... I guess it explains the name, too.

Huh.

[The book seemed seriously stunned by this revelation, a blinding flash of the painfully obvious]

Oh -- yeah. [A little flopping, and the book broke open in a shower of frost, then promptly fell over] DAMMIT!

[starbolts]

Starfire laughed, looking quite pleased with herself. It was cold, yes, but she could still hold her own---oh no!

It only took her a second to leap over to Zetta and set him upright. Maybe it would work better if she held him? She tries just that.

"Where have your minions gone?"

[badassfreakingoverlord]

"Damn minion dropped me in the first place," Zetta grumbled. "UnInvited herself. I guess when you wear a belt as a bra, you get cold quicker... Hey, this is warm."

Zetta, living the dream of fanboys everywhere.

[starbolts]

"I would have invited her inside as well," she frowned, adjusting the book comfortably. Starfire shrugged.

"My people have higher body temperatures than humans. We feel chill more easily, but we can also provide warmth."

And be oblivious to how close certain Overlords are to their bodies, others would observe, but she was most concerned with keeping everyone safe at the moment.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

"Netherworlds have a ton of different temperatures," Zetta said. "Bitter cold to volcano-warm. We demons aren't normally bothered by it... but being a tome kind of sucks."

The bookwas warming up rapidly -- more than one would expect from a simple object.

[starbolts]

"I see," she answered softly, curling more tightly into a ball. It was still so cold.

But she was glad that he seemed to be well. The excess heat was probably just a sign of his magic. "You are feeling better?"

[badassfreakingoverlord]

"Yeah. I mean... for being a book." Zetta sighed. "Talk about powerless. The strongest mana in the cosmos, and what happens to me? Ice block in the middle of a storm. Ha."

[starbolts]

"It will not always be this way," Starfire promised. "You are powerful, and you will be free in time. The Ohm cannot be allowed to win."

[badassfreakingoverlord]

"Oh, I know THAT." Zetta took victory as assumed, after all. "It's just... how did I get here in the first place? It's sad, and sad goes with Zetta like Prinnies go with reasonable living wages!

"...Uh, I mean, not at all."

[starbolts]

"Precisely," she agreed, hugging the book. "Your situation is trying, but you are not pitiable. You will be victorious!"

[badassfreakingoverlord]

"Heh. We'll be victorious, Starfire," the book corrected. "We're all in this mess together, so we'll all kick ass to fix it together."

Zetta, of course, had absolutely no clue he'd undergone any level of emotional development whatsoever in the time he'd spent on the ship. And would almost certainly deny it if it was pointed out to him.
