EVENT: BLANKET FIC

[trainmasters]

Who: All the lovely Heroes!
When: Day 44, morning
Where: Around the train

[ It may have been only a few days, but did that heatwave feel like it lasted forever to anyone else? No? Either way, it's gone now. Bringing with it a blessed coolness. Actually wait, it's cold-- too cold! Worse yet, not even going into the train seems to really help. Fortunately, someone seems to have been kind enough to leave some nice, fuzzy blankets lying around. Too bad it doesn't seem to help much unless you share them with someone...

Either way, you're in luck because you've got some new teammates on the train! The notification appears cheerfully on everyone's Chains:

WELCOME NEW HEROES

Enjoy the cold...? ]

[[ NOTES: You're welcome to make team posts if you like, or intro directly into this mingle if you haven't already. Until next month's placements, the cold snap will persist-- along with the lovely blankets lying around. Enjoy! ]]

[oh thank goodness. immediately settling herself down next to him and draping the blanket over the top of them, which is so deliciously warm that she can't help but sigh happily. just to make sure it really counts as physical affection, she leans against him, head against his shoulder. she was still shivering, but it was less aggressive than it was before.]

Thank you.

Would be a waste for both of us to freeze to death all things considered.

[He doesn't move when she sits down next to him. Nor does he tilt his head from where it was resting on his palm when she wraps the blanket around them and tucks in.]

[she hadn't expected him to "cuddle", as she had put it — meeting the base requirements was fine by her.]

Certainly so.

[She could feel warmth seeping back into her bones, and her eyes close in contentment. that whole event in the water had been rather stupid, hadn't it? she'd just really not liked him implying that she was less without memories than she had been before, and she wasn't sure what it was, but something about Emet-Selch and the way they had met, knowing she had hurt him, made her want to impress him. he almost definitely didn't have her best interests at heart, but...]

Are you willing to tell me anything else about where we came from?

[firstworldproblem]

[He is warmer and content for it. He's also stubborn and won't admit it. At the question he does tilt his eyes to look at her.]

Willing, yes, but do you truly want to learn about a place you can never return to.

[nhaamasblessing]

Can we truly never return even once we're done saving the universe from Malice?

[firstworldproblem]

'Tis hard to say. How long will it take? How much will have changed? Would you even recognize it, I wonder.

[nhaamasblessing]

...I think I'd still like to know what it was like, all the same.

[firstworldproblem]

Very well. Ask your questions. An attempt I will make to humor you.

[nhaamasblessing]

Well, I suppose first... what was it called?
