Oh the weather inside is frightful but some fires would be delightful~

Polar Vortex!

In the middle of the night on day 299, something has gone amiss. The temperature ship wide begins to slowly drop, filling the rooms with a biting low cold. It's as though winter has come to the Engime. Over the day, the walls and floors will slowly cover with ice and in the various lounges, it's begun to snow, coating tabletops and seats alike with a soft white blanket.

There's been a malfunction in the holodecks having to do with the recent fiddlings of Seth and a small group of people and now, it's a mere 15 °F. (That's -10 ºC) Thankfully, there's no wind chill to take into account. The Cargo Bay is the only place that seems to escape this cold but only the worst of it. It's more livable temperature comes out to only just above freezing.

The cold will last until late in day 301 when the ship slowly starts warming back up to it's amicable warmer temperatures.

So what shall you do? Cuddle with a buddy? Huddle under your blankets? Well now, that's up to you, isn't it.

Please note that this is a player plot and has nothing to do with the metaplot.

FAQ

1.Is this caused by magic?
No, it's a technical malfunction.

2. Can it be fixed with magic?
No, and any attempt to fix it at the source will fail.

3. My character is a vampire, will they be effected?
Yes, as the temperatures will be below freezing.

4. Are the blankets provided in the rooms thick enough?
Yes, they are heavier styled comforters.

5.I have another question that you didn't already answer.
Wonderful, just place your questions here and we'll answer them as readily as we can.

H.G.: She's going to be freezing and possibly complaining more than a bit. But she will seek warmth by hiding under her blankets and diving into hot, steamy make out sessions with Zoey. ;) When she's not having make out sessions with her girlfriend, she may indeed be one of those people who wants to fix the source of the problem.

Charlotte: She is going to wonder what the actual fuck is happening that she actually feels cold. She will also be complaining bitterly and seek out warmth wherever she can find it. While wrapped in her blanket and possible as many layers as she can get on.

Is going to be cranky as hell because he hates the cold and may end up demanding that random people cuddle him.

Who needs fire?!

Devon will be more than happy to provide for those who really need it. When he doesn't need to though, he's going to freaking enjoy this. Can you say sliding across the floor and grinning like a madman? I can. (I was actually considering having him freeze over one of the floor for fun.)

Robb can definitely help. I think this can break down his walls a bit too.

Heeey he's trying but damn if he doesn't hate being cold. He will most likely suguuest them put the covers including his electric blanket all on the bed and stay smuggled. Let her take his long coat if she needs to run to the bathroom since he wears heavy coats a lot

QUESTION: Can Draco perform warming charms for people, or will the ship prevent that somehow?

Draco Malfoy
In general, Draco's not hugely fond of cold temperatures, so he'll be primarily keeping to the cargo hold, but I'm more than happy to have him wander around to grump as well!

Lydia Martin
Lydia will also be exceedingly unhappy with this (being a California girl, born and raised), and will spend the whole thing bundled up fiercely. She may wander the ship the first day as well in hopes of finding a warm spot or some scientific reason for the cold snap, so I'm open to her running into whomever!

In summary: totally open to any and all plotting for either of mine!

She'll be wrapped up in all the blankets and all her clothes, lol

[personal profile] nott_caine 2014-09-04 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
I'm super excited by that, as I feel like they are progressing to a more trusting place. This also sort of naturally breaks down walls since they would have to cuddle.

Believe me, Selene will laugh
nott_caine: (Default)

[personal profile] nott_caine 2014-09-04 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
I was actually really hoping that this will lead to Selene confessing she is a vampire to him. She'll probably also request hanging close and leeching his body heat. Fluff, if you are interested?

Come grump with Tara. I was considering giving her hypothermia. Feel like using magic to rescue her, Draco?
the4united: (Default)

[personal profile] the4united 2014-09-04 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Always interested! I'm sure she'll enjoy laughing at him as he acts like a little kid with all of the ice and snow.

[personal profile] the4united 2014-09-04 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
Lydia and Mary can grump together if you want. Mary's from New Mexico, so she gets it. (Though she did grow up in New Jersey, at some points homeless/without heat, so she might not be fully sympathetic.)

And can you guess the first person Joan is going to think did this?
