The Body Heat Meme



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!
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.

"That's okay, Emily," she said quietly. "The cold doesn't bother me." It hadn't for a while, at least. How long had it been? Now that she was thinking about it, Ami realized she couldn't even remember. She could still feel cold, yes, but not to the same extent as other people. It occurred to her that they might have the opposite problem. "Do you want me to sit over there, in case the blanket isn't enough...?"

[silentscales]

Snake blushes just a little bit. He didn't want to admit that they needed the help, but his friends came first. "'It might help,' says Emily."

[nerdiface]

She'd made the offer, but it was still a little surprising when he accepted. "Okay..." It wasn't that she was afraid, really, because if he'd had some sort of ill intentions she was pretty sure he would have acted before this point. And it was actually really sweet that he was so concerned about his snakes.

So she got up and moved to sit over near the other end of the couch. "Do you think they'd come to me?"

Snake tries to coax her closer under the blanket by lifting it up for her. "'It's too cold without the blanket,' says Webster." He didn't want to risk them just curling up with her without it. At the least it's obvious now that he really is caring for a varied pile of snakes and not just making excuses.

[nerdiface]

It seemed like there was no other choice, so she scooted close enough to get under the blanket with him. But it made sense, she supposed. "I'm sorry I couldn't find another blanket." Or even something that could've been used in place of a blanket.

"'It's okay, it might be warmer this way,' says Oscar." He does let himself press against her side, but he keeps his arms around the bundle of snakes. Some of them move towards her, seeking the best way for them to ball up for warmth.

"'Thank you for helping us,' says Keats."

[nerdiface]

Maybe he had a point, even if cuddling up to a random guy and his snakes had not technically been part of her plan today. "It'll be easier to share body heat this way," she explained. Ami blinked a little at the sight of several approaching snakes, but she didn't shrink away. So that was a plus.

"So we have... Emily, Oscar and Keats. What about the rest of you?"

[silentscales]

Snake nods regarding the body heat, even if he is blushing. When she asks about the rest he starts pointing them each out, "Woodsworth, Webster, Wilde, Bronte, and Goethe. Says Oscar."

He stays stiff, not wanting to move in any way that would make Ami uncomfortable.

[nerdiface]

Ami nodded too, and if it had been anyone else, she might have caught onto the fact that he was blushing. Ami, though, only noticed that his face was now a little red, and she gave him a kind smile. "Are you alright? Your face is a little red," she told him.

But her face lit up when he spoke again. "Oh! You've named them after famous authors!"

[silentscales]

Snake just diverts his gaze, trying to not blush more when he catches the naming pattern he had. He nods, "'I use the names of all my favourite authors,' says Oscar."
