*Shivers in*

*Shivers onto the sofa*

Brrr.

[The Ace]

Don't worry, you'll soon warm up. Tea ?

[HoopyFrood]

I will never be warm!

Ever again!

*Chews on a cushion*

[The Ace]

Passes Hoopy a hot chocolate, "This'll make you feel better."

How does that keep getting in here turns painting to wall.

Makes some small heat crystals for Hoops,

[The Ace]

Err Nixie, want to take a look at the map ?

Freda and I took the Condor out the other day and encountered something weird in this area here. Even if it isn't your rift, I think it needs investigation.

*Emerges from under a cushion, shivering* Always cold! Always damned cold, I'll never get warm.

*Wriggles out, hops down onto the carpet, and goes over to the fire. Sits in front of it for a while, then huffs*

Still not warm enough! Fire, you've let me down!

*Hops around* There must be somewhere where I can get warm. I can't even feel my damn' tail anymore. Unless I bang it on something, then it really lets me know it's still there.

Right...warm...I need like the biggest, hottest water bottle in the world. Or a tropical house. Or an oven set on medium heat.

Or...a trip to somewhere warm! Yeah, that'll do nicely. *Wraps her scarf around her neck, grabs some biscuits and a little flask of earl grey from the urn and sets off into the corridors, wondering if she still remembers the right directions after all these years*

Wanders in to be confronted by Freda:

Nice Orange One off exploring, says she wants somewhere warm.

"We all do at this time of year, Freda, give her some time before you follow her, eh ?"

*slinks in and claims ownership of the sofa - and promptly buries himself under cushions*

coooold!

[The Ace]

So why not sit by the fire ?

[Overread]

*cushion pile ruffles and a bit of paper flies out toward Ace*

I can't - I have a restraining order when it comes to fire. Apparently setting fire to stuff to stay warm is not allowed

[The Ace]

I know you're not allowed to set fires, but there's nothing in this about sitting in front of them, especially if you help to make toast.

You sure? They were very sure to keep pointing out that if i were caught near any fires I would be "for the chop" as they say.


And they only serve dogfood in zoos........

[The Ace]

This one's in a fireplace and we have witnesses that you didn't light it. Any chance you could hold this fork ? I may have some sausages too.

[Overread]

Sausages?
*Blinks and bounds out of the cushion mountain and snaps up the fork*
