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.))

Aye. [He follows Katara for a bit, privately thinking the cave is never going to let them out. Then, just after they've passed through yet another ice cave, he feels a bit of air on his face. It takes a few seconds to register the sensation, then his eyes widen, and he goes to tug on Katara's arm urgently.]

Katara! Katara! Do ye feel that? There's air coming from somewhere!

Katara, who was starting to move around a bit to see if there was any way out, definitely DID feel that. If only she had Aang's ability to airbend, they would get out of here much more easily!

"Yeah, I feel it too!"

She closed her eyes, getting the mental picture of the ice around her and brought her hands towards her chest. It would take chi for this, but Katara WAS getting better. The ice started to shudder, and then fell to water at their feet. Katara exhaled sharply, opening her eyes.

"That way!"

[It's Jamie's turn to grab Katara's hand and hurry in the direction she indicated - although he's careful to keep the blanket wrapped tight around them both, just so the cave doesn't get any ideas. Soon enough, there's a lighter area where the air seems stronger.]

Daylight! That must be the way out. Come on!!

She was definitely going to increase her speed: this place had been nice enough, but staying stranded with only a blanket between them wasn't going to help them any. With a burst of speed, the two finally made their way out of the cave labyrinth.

Where they were now, at least, was a bit brighter an quite a sight (http://www.dylancolestudio.com/Matte/Superman/images/LF_047_033_MPsketch_v02.jpg) to see. Katara was sure she had never seen a place like this before although, comically, there was also a sign right outside the lair: The Way Out.

Katara looked at Jamie. "Um, have you ever seen anything like this before?"

Hey, would ye look at the size of that! [Which, for those of you keeping track at home would be a 'no'. It takes him a minute to notice the sign, and when he does, he promptly pulls a face.]

Oh, aye. Very funny.

[It's unclear who he's addressing it to, but he seems to be looking up at the sky at the moment for whatever reason.]

Well, we won't be able to stay out here for long. I wonder if there's anyone living nearby?

"Yeah, that's amazing. Have you ever seen a place like this before? It's so massive. Who do you think lives here?"

She noticed the sign too, and a look of confusion crossed her eyes. She turned to Jamie.

"I think that might be a trap. Maybe we should look around this place, to see if there's another way out of here? If we got lost there, it might take a REAL long time to get out."

There could be a whole lot of people here, given the size of this place.

[He studies the sign, then nods in agreement.]

Aye, you might be right. I'll go check it out. Ye stay here, where it's safe.

"Yes, but think about how long it took to get out of the caves: can you imagine if we got lost in THAT? We'd never find a way out! It is beautiful though..."

She'd be looking this up when she got out of here, but at the moment they should be concentrated on GETTING out of there. Katara started to look around the mouth entrance, then started to look along the sides.

"It goes on at the right side!" Katara said. "Come on!"

[Jamie takes a look, and sure enough, she's right.] Aye! Let's go!

[He starts to head in that direction, hoping that it is indeed the correct way and not a trap.]

She went forward, hoping that Jamie would keep up. Oh, she was definitely curious about the enormous ice cave place, but that was for another place and another time. Right now she was going to keep going, right on down the slope until they reached the mouth of a cave.

And right over it, coincidentally, is a sign: the REAL way out.

She looked at Jamie a moment. "Uh, should we take the word of that sign?"

[He is definitely motivated to keep up, and although he's a little curious about the ice cave place as well, he'd much rather find a way out. So when they get to yet another sign that claims to be just that, he gives it a rather cranky look.]

Look, I don't know about ye, but we've been hunting for a way out for hours now. I say we take the chance.

[Without really waiting for a reply, he heads towards the entrance. Sometimes he's too impulsive for his own good.]

Katara followed him. She was hoping it wouldn't be another trick, as she had had enough of this walking business to begin with. she followed him through the entrance, hoping that this would be the way out...

And now they're on the Obs deck, looking at each other, dumbfound.

"Um, were you expecting this to happen?"

[Jamie is looking around as if he doesn't quite believe where they've wound up.] No...I can't say I have.

Hey, I wonder...och, no, that'd be daft.

She shook her head. "After all of that, nothing sounds too daft to me. What are you thinking?"

Well, have ye ever been made to do that maze-thing with GLaDOS?

Katara shook her head. It was either fortunate or unfortunate, but she'd never had to run those mazes that GLADOS made a lot of the other guys do.

"What's it like?"

[Jamie shakes his head as well.]

I've not ever been. I was hoping maybe ye had an idea. [Oh well.]

At least we're back here now. Look, I'm going to go try and find something a wee bit warmer in my quarters. I'll see ye later, aye?

"No, not me."

It would make some things easier though, honestly.

"Ok! I'll hopefully see you soon. Good luck with the rangers!"
