[Stiles, already a big believer in layers, is wearing two sweaters, a jacket, a scarf, and even though you can't see it, has his blanket draped across his lap. He looks like what a cartoonist believes appropriate cold weather clothes looks like. Or, no, he look like Randie in A Christmas Story! Yes.]

Okay, why is it cold as balls right now? I'm from California. I'm not used to this. This is completely unacceptable. If I wanted to live like this, I'd move to freakin' Alaska and cuddle up with a polar bear. I'm going to get frostbite. Things are going to start falling off my body because of this, I know it.

Bryn, I'm calling out sick for the duration of this because if I go outside I'm going to drop dead. Of ice. I'm going to turn into an abominable snowman after all, and this time it won't be a joke.

Petition to make the turtle swim to Tahiti, sign below, thanks.

You're complaining about a little cold weather? [He's smiling, you're suffering is amusing. Especially over this.] You know it's only going to get colder, right? Oh and, I don't think you have quite enough layers.

[Video]

[skybluejeep]

Yes, actually, I am! Because humankind has spent its whole evolutionary chain coming in out of the cold. Fire. We actually tamed one of the most destructive forces on Earth because we don't like the cold.

And I know I don't have enough layers, but this was all my voucher was good for.

[garou]

Stop whining. [ Gosh, Stiles, gosh. ]

[skybluejeep]

[R U D E.]

Oh come on. It's freakin' cold out, even you have to admit that. We're not all lumberjacks and mountain men and macho, impervious to human feeling guys like you.

[Still not looking directly at anything because of the whole sight loss thing.]

I hear Alaska is pretty harsh. And that polar bears aren't snugglers.

video:

[skybluejeep]

That's because you need to get them flowers first, maybe dinner and a movie. Sweet talk 'em a little.

How you been, Jules? Aside from freezing-ass cold?

[zerotoawesome]

Dude, do you know how awesome having a pet polar bear would be? And we'd be like... Saving an endangered species.

You could be totally symbiotic with the bear and ride it to battle!

video;

[skybluejeep]

Can I instead ask for bikini weather and sunshine?

I'll give up soul-bound battle bears for that right now, not even gonna lie.

[alpha_squad_leader]

Consider my signature added to the petition. I'd do it multiple times if I could.

[Victor's bundled up right now, looking very unhappy about the cold.]

[Video]

[skybluejeep]

See, you get it!

...Whoa, yeah, I just thought of that. Vic, are you cold-blooded too?

[hulkintraining]

[To the contrary Teddy is dressed in one sweatshirt, with no gloves or scarf, and looks quite comfortable.]

I didn't know people in California did so badly in cold weather. I mean, I know you guys don't get snow or anything, but this is nothing. [This is coming from a resident New Yorker who has lived there all his life.]

video;

[skybluejeep]

Well, some parts of California get snow. Big Bear, for example.

However. I am not from Big Bear. I am not from a snowy place. If it gets below, say...oh, fifty degrees, it's too freakin' cold.

[cowled]

[Cheerfully,]

Come on, Stiles! This is nothing. It's bracing. Reminds me a little of home.

[Which is a bad thing at this time of year, since the anniversary of his parents' deaths is. Looming. Ever-closer.]

video;

[skybluejeep]

Are you also from Alaska, Mr. Wayne? Because this isn't bracing. This is full on Jack London, Iditarod, Donner Party stuff here.

[refusing]

[Rose isn't a stranger to cold weather, so this is a little amusing. Actually, more than a little amusing. She's barely able to hold in her laughter.]

It's only a bit of cold weather! Not gonna kill you or anything, not with as bundled up as you are.

video

[skybluejeep]

It might! You know how many deaths are attributed each year to extremes of cold?

A lot.

permatext;

[iguanasolution]

as a canadian let me tell you its really cute you think this is actual cold

want me to lend you some blankets and stuff? not using them yet

permatext;

[skybluejeep]

As a Californian, you Canadians can get bent. You and your igloos and your maple leafs and your politeness. Get out. ;)

[vdova]

Try moving around. It helps, a little.

[skybluejeep]

Like...outside or something?

I'm not going out there, lady. It's too damn cold.

[virginprice]

I can see I'll have to begin stocking warmer clothes.

[skybluejeep]

Clearly!

Nobody has thermal underwear. This is a crime against humanity.

voice;

[michaeljangelo]

You think you're cold, you should try my shell on for size.

perma-video on his end

[skybluejeep]

Like...literal shell?

Dude. Are you a turtle too?

video;

[watcheslanterns]

I wonder if I should get some shoes to wear now...

video;

[skybluejeep]

Yeah, probably a good idea. Losing toes to frostbite isn't a thing.

You okay?

Video;

[detectus]

It's called layering, Stiles.

[She's freezing too but. whatever.]

Video;

[skybluejeep]

[Oh of COURSE she had to answer right after Rapunzel. Of course she did.]

You say that to me, Lydia? The guy with two t-shirts and a flannel shirt all seasons?

video;

[trifurcate]

[Guess who is wearing like, five million layers right now? Oh, that's right, it's your boss. Bryn looks freezing.]

What if I tempt you here with hot drinks and extra blankets. We'll keep it all nice and cozy and you can help me keep everyone else warm too.

[She would be more convincing if she wasn't a moment away from having chattering teeth.]

Re: video;

[skybluejeep]

Yeah?

How about Hot Toddies? Are those on the menu now too?

Because it's not so much once I get there. It's the getting there that's the hard part. It's a twenty minute walk. You know?

[backinakidflash]

[Bart isn't as layered up as most people are, but he's got a blanket over his shoulders and has bent his legs, putting his feet on the chair, to get them under the blanket as well. There is a hot water bottle balanced on one knee.]

Oh geez. Yes. Consider it signed. Baaaaart Allllllen. [He draws the name out as he uses his index finger to write his name in cursive in the air.

I'm not gonna lose a finger or anything, but I can't take this cold.

[skybluejeep]

It suuuuuuuuucks.

I wonder if petitioning the Emperor would work in this case. Who's driving this turtle?

video;

[mccallmemaybe]

Dude, stop complaining. The cold weather gives you an excuse to cuddle up to Rapunzel. She can be your polar bear.

video;

[skybluejeep]

Shhhhh-ut up!

I'm working on it, yo.

[bereavements]

Isaac Lahey.

That's my signature. Not that it'll do any good. Don't think we're heading to Tahiti any time soon. Maybe cut back on the complaining. Don't know who here will care.

Maybe you could stay with Lydia.

video

[skybluejeep]

You're a California boy too. I know you get it. You don't like cold weather either.

...And I'd rather stay with Rapunzel.

[Shut up, Lahey.]

[undoubtable]

You aren't going to die from this kind of cold.

[skybluejeep]

How do you know? How do you knooooow?

[asoothingvoice]

[While El Paso only gets cold enough for snow for roughly a month and a half out of the year, the rest of the year it's usually at least warm. Bianca has a thick sweater on, and there's steam visible from the bottom corner, from a presumably hot drink at hand.]

Keep the curtains drawn and any rooms you aren't using closed off. It'll keep the rest of your suite warmer.

[skybluejeep]

Hey! Now that is an excellent idea. Thanks, Mrs. R!

audio; /brings starbucks

[strategisch]

It can't be that bad. Normal winter weather. A little chilly for November, but...

audio; LOL make it a frappuchino and I'm down

[skybluejeep]

"A little chilly for November."

This is a little chilly for the freakin' Himalayas.
