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.

Marty listens intently and by the end it's hard to stifle laughter. Man, it's a lot more fun to listen to time travel stories when you're not the one in peril.

"And you didn't invite me?" He's totally joking, don't actually try to invite him to a mudslide, Doc.

Doc has the grace to look a little embarrassed. "I thought you could use a normal holiday with your family after all I've done to mess that up."

Of course he did. He was always late with these things. But as much as he was joking...well, Marty was as much of a son to him as Jules and Verne.

"But once I get this fire going in the morning...maybe I'll see about building a snowman. We attempted it before the mudslide, but the boys were far more interested in a snowball fight. Their mother's excellent aim was a real surprise!"

He laughed at that memory, still hoping to make a new one."

"You make it sound like you ruin every Christmas ever, Doc," Seriously, at least a good percentage of the Christmases they spend together are perfect.

When he hears about the snowman, his face does light up a little bit. After all, he's seen more snow here than he had in his entire life and it would be great to actually do the stuff that he sees in shows during the winter. Then he remembers the blizzard again.

"That sounds great Doc, but, ah," he turns to look worriedly at the window "You think we should make sure we're not snowed in first?"

Granted he doesn't know how often that happens outside of movies and TV, but it can't hurt to be a little worried, right?

[4thdimensional]

Doc flashes an embarrassed grin. "Of course. I'll simply knock on the door to ascertain the snow level..."

He moves as if to get up, but a flash of cold air quickly reminds him that he can't do this at the moment. He sighs and drops back down, ensuring that the air pocket is tight again, No, he mustn't let Marty suffer for his foolishness.

"I'll check in the morning. After we've had the opportunity to rest...I've certainly made this a more stressful day than it should've been. But tomorrow? Barring another extreme snowfall, tomorrow we should have some fun."

He clasps his hands in front of himself. They're still a little cold, but the blanket bubble is helping greatly. Soon he'll be warm enough to be comfortable.

Seriously Doc, you make it sound like you were the one that caused the snowstorm in the first place.

"Yeah, that sounds nice," Marty says while stifling a yawn. He didn't want to admit it, but he was already getting pretty tired. Still snuggling further into the blanket, it wasn't really hard to tell that he was fatigued.

"I really missed this,"

[4thdimensional]

Oh, Marty. Doc couldn't really hide his smile, so he flashed it briefly before snaking an arm out of the blanket to reach for the pillows on the couch behind him. A few tugs and they were down, ready to be slept on just in case.

"Missed what? Being dragged along into another one of my mishaps? Because I've got more where this came from," he teased fondly, drowsiness creeping up on his face.

[thepoweroflove]

"Hey, I'm not that tired," In fact, to show you how much he doesn't want it, he takes the pillow while smiling. You know, just in case

"It's not that, I just missed doing stuff like this," a pause, before quickly adding "I mean, not specifically this but I like hanging out with you,"

[4thdimensional]

Doc sees that. His eye twinkles...but he is old, so he may well fall out first. It'll be a race to dreamland.

He nods. "I know what you mean. I love Clara and my boys, but my family just isn't complete without you. I don't think I'll be leaving you behind again."

Which means, of course, being careful with the time machine. A tall order, but he can manage it. He smiles up as he settles down.

"So, after we explore the snow..how about a summer getaway?" Oh boy. There he goes again.

[thepoweroflove]

You underestimate the power of sleep deprived teenagers, Doc. He leans on Doc slightly as he nods in agreement about the vacation.

"That'd be great. I've had enough coldness for one lifetime," Of course, his complete willingness to go might change once he's well rested, but at least you've convinced him for right now!

[4thdimensional]

"So have I. It'll be sunshine and daisies after tonight," Doc reluctantly admits, though he's already starting to forget the chill. Spending this time with Marty has warmed his heart---not physically, but close enough.

He still keeps a (relatively) comfortable distance, but turns to address Marty for a few minutes. He figures he probably doesn't have long here.

"That's what I was hoping to do when I first built the machine...pleasurable and educational trips, just the two of us. It never exactly panned out that way, but I have all the time I need, hm?"
