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.

So have we mentioned how much he hates the cold? Because he hates the cold. Ironic, we know, but cold is associated with going into cryo which means quiet internal panic on his part.

So he's going to be a miserable pile of not-moving-around until someone invites his dumb ass out of the cold. Want to cuddle the murder machine? Go ahead! He's somewhat more sociable than he was before. He will at the very least speak. So that's new.

He's also prevented from doing any violence thanks to Cho's fun little collar thing, so he's perfectly safe to poke at, if you want to make him MORE miserable. He will grumpy cat face at you so hard.

I would like to have more interaction with him and Natasha. If anything because she'd understand why he's more miserable.

[shapedthecentury]

He will grudgingly share space with her. Although he doesn't quite know why.

[iwasrussian]

And she'll show some unexpected crazy act of generosity and confuse him more. /sage nod

[shapedthecentury]

Yes I want this. I want this a lot.

[iwasrussian]

As do I.

Is there a specific day you'd rather have it happen? And where does he usually hang out?

[tenuefarfalla]

as soon as cho figures out that he hates the cold, he's getting an embarrassing looking coat full of heating charms. deal with it. better to be warm than fashionable.

[shapedthecentury]

This can happen after awkward with Tasha because I need this.

[tenuefarfalla]

oh, i would not dare put a premature end to awkward. you know how much i love it. they don't have to be in the same place when the cold hits. whenever he comes back, all confused and shivery, she will marshmallow him up.

[shapedthecentury]

He also retrieved his old coat. The one he first arrived in.

[tenuefarfalla]

she wouldn't make him wear it, but if he wants to, she can make it super warm.
