sure is cold in here ( the body heat meme )

[estivates]

Post with your character! They're now stuck in a very cold place of your choice. It can be anything, such as a freezing chamber, a cavern or a small cabin in the midst of a blizzard. The choice is up to you.

Comment around! Now your character has some company in this bone-chilling environment. The two of them share two things in common: clothes completely unfitting for this weather (be they summer clothes or even lingerie) and a blanket.

A blanket? Yes, just one warm blanket and no other ways to escape the cold. The two of them will have to share it in order to stay alive in this weather. Don't worry, you're sure to find a common language in this terrible situation!

Or just completely ignore the guideline above and do your thing.

So, uh, have fun, I suppose. Try to not freeze to death!

Protip: friction and body heat are both excellent ways to fend off cold.

[ Amy was sitting in the living room of their small cottage. It had been months since they had seen the Doctor, and it was starting to get cold, or rather it was already cold, and their heat had gone out. Amy of course had been in the middle of doing laundry, and was wearing Rory's clothes, but they were hardly appropriate for how cold it was. ]

Rory came trudging up the stairs with a scowl on his face, after he spent the better of an hour checking to see what went wrong with their furnace. He wasn't a HVAC specialist, and while he can stitch a gash without second thought, an ancient furnace isn't something he isn't about to tackle.

He reaches for his coat, and he throws it along with his gloves on. The look of disgust hides, a great deal of defeat. Being bested by the furnace is not something he looks happy with, but at least he did not blow the house up. "It is far more complicated than twisting a knob, and relighting a pilot light," he points out, and he trudges about the living room to look for the phone.

"You don't happen to know where we put the directory at." He asks, as he continues to look for the phone. "Or the phone!"

Sorry, work killed me this week

Amy smirked at him, as she watched him vent. He hadn't noticed yet that she was wearing nothing but his rugby shirt yet, or that she was freezing.

"I think it's in the desk there," She said lowly. "I don't think it's me that your mad at, are you Centurian?"

She shivered as she wrapped her arms around herself a little to keep the chill out.

it's cool

It didn't escape his notice, but Rory's mind is working on getting someone to help them with their predicament. Rory heads over towards the desk in question, and while finding the phone, he also discovers the directory. "Nope. I'm more mad about that ancient piece of junk that's about to be replaced."

He should have listened to his dad when it came to getting the heater replaced, but he felt the old thing would last a few more years. Rory pulls a glove off, and he begins to flip through the pages to find someone to help them. And after, he finds someone to come take care of their heater. He goes and places a few calls, and it is met with a sigh of defeat. "Apparently, we aren't the only ones in London who have heaters that have gone to shit. I've called the first ten places I saw, and we're going to be..." He makes his way over towards the closet, and he pulls out a bunch of blankets. "...in the cold for another day."

With blankets in hand, Rory finally goes to flop himself down on the couch and he wraps an old down comforter around himself. "So if we don't freeze by then, we're up to our own devices."

"So, just like usual then?" Amy said, joking a little, as she tugged on the blanket a little because she was cold too.

"You did the best you could you know?" She said, as she finished pulling the blanket. "Besides, we were on the TARDIS then weren't we?"
