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?

2. Can it be fixed with magic?

3. My character is a vampire, will they be effected?

4. Are the blankets provided in the rooms thick enough?

5.I have another question that you didn't already answer.

He's probably going to convince her to play in the snow as well. She hasn't done that in a long while. It should be super cute!

He will totally grump with her. And providing his magic works, I will happily have him rescue her!

They could give that a go - I might have a log for her. Lydia's not hugely fond of Mary, and she may just say so if things get too snippy. xD But it could be amusing!

Joan, don't you dare even blame him. He will hex you. 8(

Lydia and wolf boy should totally go looking for what's going on. Then he'll have to warm her up since you know she'll be in a mini-skirt.

Does Charles want to get trapped somewhere with Kate?

Zoey:

Zoey gets cold easily, I think, so she's going to be bundling up and curling up under a blanket with her girlfriend for heated makeout sessions. She might, however, enjoy the weather accompanying the cold a little. ICE DANCING.

Siri:

Not entirely sure what Siri will be doing for this, but there's likely to be some freezing Jedi shenanigans at some point during this plot.

Len:

LEN HATES THE GODDAMN COLD. She's a southern girl, born and bred, so she is NOT going to like this one damn bit. So she's bundling up, making the strongest fucking mint julep she can manage, and holing up somewhere to grump about everything. But there's a possibility she might hole up in the clinic in case people need medical attention.

Kate is from New York. She also has a coat and gloves so she will try to make hot soups and food until the kitchen becomes too ice covered.

Draco, bluebell flames! GO!

Lydia, would you like to borrow a pair of tights or maybe a pair of trousers?

[personal profile] katerrifically 2014-09-04 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
Kate is an excellent soup maker. You could say she is consomme professional. YEAH!

No, but seriously. Kate will try to make warm foods until the walls become too icy. Team up?
