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.

Simon Petrikov / Adventure Time

AU!Bitty Finn because I couldn't resist

[The area Simon might be coming across next in this post-apocolyptic wasteland of a world is the ruins of some sort of small town, with a farm adjacent to it. Everything is quiet, with most of the buildings crumbling or boarded up. Not a soul is around to be spoken of. There aren't even any animals, and what's more, it's starting to snow slightly.

Huddled up with his back against the wall of a barn not far away is a little boy with his arms wrapped tightly around skinned up knees in a feeble attempt to keep warm. There's a tattered backpack next to him full of all sorts of random items, including a tattered, white hat sticking out from the top.

The child seems to be alone, left to fend for himself in the empty town. All he can do is sit there and hope it doesn't get too much colder, sniffling before burying his face in his knees.]

[ It was getting hard to tell if the drop in temperature was due to the start of some nuclear winter, or the control of his own powers slipping away again. Either way, it didn't bother him too badly. The stinging ache of the cold had set up permanent residence in his body, and he doubted it would ever leave. At least now he could tolerate it.

Simon glanced up at the desolate town. It was abandoned, just as every other he'd seen in the past month.. or so? He was losing track of time. He headed toward the farmhouse, hoping to scavenge any supplies he could find.

He audibly gasps when he spots Finn curled up beside the barn. Though he was only a boy, he was the first living person he'd found in ages! Carefully, Simon sets down his backpack and steps forward.]

Hello? Little boy..? Are you hurt?

[humanhero]

[The child looks up sharply at the voice, pulling back a bit out of fear. He too hadn't seen anyone for several days now, so the older man's presence was a bit of a shock. Slowly he shakes his head no. Not hurt, physically anyway.

But if this man was here to hurt him, he would have when he wasn't paying attention. And he seems young- just barely past six or seven at the very least- so who else is he going to trust?]

...W...who are you?

[knows_your_name]

My name is Simon. I'm not going to hurt you, I promise..

[He goes back to his pack and pulls the blanket off the top, walking back to Finn and holding it out to him.]

Is there anyone else with you? What's your name?

[humanhero]

[That blanket is definitely a welcome sight, and without thinking Finn reaches out and takes it, quickly wrapping himself up in it with a shudder.]

F....Finn.

..M'...M'all alone. Momma and Papa n-never came home when th'monsters came. ...Papa told me to hide in the b-barn....

[Of course Simon would know about the strange, zombie-like creatures that had been all over recently. It would seem they had gotten to this town before he could..]

[He knew them very well, and had experienced plenty of close calls. In a few cases, he only made it out because of the crown.]

..I'm very sorry to hear that.

[Left to fend for himself, he knows that Finn probably wouldn't last long on his own. Without a second thought, he knows what he has to do.]

2/2

[knows_your_name]

[He kneels down to Finn's level and offers his hand.]

Why don't you come with me? I could help watch after you, and who knows? Maybe we'll find some other people out there.

[He knows his mind is deteriorating, and it's probably only going to get worse. But if there's even a slim chance that he can help this boy survive, then he's going to take it.]

[humanhero]

[Finn sniffs again, looking up at the man hesitantly. After a pause though he cautiously takes his hand, nodding a little.]

O-....ok.
