I would appreciate it. I don't want my teammates to get overprotective. [That can be A Lot.] For reference, if I pass out in the snow, I'm not dead. The bigger dangers of falling asleep in the snow is I'll get buried and suffocate, or a monster will find me. The usual killer of a cold blooded brumating in the open is that the water in their cells freeze and burst them, but that's harder when I'll have warm clothing. It would take a while for it to take.

That would be a good idea. People still need warmer clothes and its a lot easier for someone with warm blood to die of hypothermia then me.

[ Hunter nods, taking mental notes. ]

So if I find you, get you somewhere warm and safe. And wait for you to thaw out.

[ Simple enough. ]

Yeah, that’s the idea. The cold happened really suddenly for a lot of people.

[othellovonryan]

Basically.

Though always try to verbally wake me up first. If I went to sleep alone, I have a tendency to bite anyone who touches me after. Cuddlepartners are safe, my instincts has already accepted them as safe, but sudden new contact is a threat.

If I don't respond, I'm probably not going to wake up until I'm warm, but I would make sure my mouth isn't near a neck just to be safe.

Hmmm, maybe we could make hidey holes in the woods. Just in case people get too cold while scavenging. It wouldn't be too hard to dig out some holes, mark them with some flags made of bedsheets.

[ Hunter very much likes the idea of making snow bunkers, but first he has to address one thing — ]

You can bite people’s necks??

[othellovonryan]

I'm not a vampire, I'm just a species of turtle that is naturally very vicious.

So the biting can hurt, so I'd rather not bite a person's neck since that's generally the place that is dangerous to have bitten too hard.

[pyrighteous]

[ He’s staring at Donnie’s mouth. ]

That’s. That’s good to know. I really was not expecting that.

[othellovonryan]

[He's largely carnivorous so that has translated into more pronounced canines then a human's. The fun of mixed biology!]

Instincts are a pain. Luckily its usually just the one bite and then I'm awake enough to rein those back in. I also only go for what's easy to reach.

So if you had to carry me back, princess carry bad, sack of potatoes good.

[pyrighteous]

I - uh -

[ He tears his eyes away from Donnie's pronounced canines. ]

Potatoes. Got it. Those are the lumpy vegetables Eddie planted.

[othellovonryan]

....I did not expect biting to throw you this much.

[pyrighteous]

It - just surprised me. Turtle demons bite plenty too, but they have more of a beak.

[ He gestures generally at his own nose. ]

[othellovonryan]

Ah, yes. It's the human DNA. Things get....translated in the combination.

[pyrighteous]

Yeah. I - guess that makes sense.

Anyway, it's not bad.

[othellovonryan]

Good.

And generally sack of potatoes are carried over the shoulder.

And like I said, I don't bite anyone I fell asleep with and I've done so enough to know for sure.

[pyrighteous]

[ Nods! ]

Then it's fine! Speaking of which, which bed do you want? The daybed's bigger, but my bed is gonna be warmer.

[othellovonryan]

....warmer, I think.

Besides, I need.... [He's looking to the side, fingers tapping faster on the ground.] It's....a steady pressure sort of thing so I don't need....space so much.

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter nods at that. ]

My bed then. And - we can pile some of the cardinals on you too.

[othellovonryan]

[he looks at the Cardinals. Debates.] They should be a different enough feeling to be fine.

[pyrighteous]

I-I mean, we don't have to either. But they'd be more pressure.

...

Do you WANT to test the teleportation glyph tonight, or do you just want to sleep?

[othellovonryan]

Maybe. It's. I need to gauge what will help or not, usually I just went to Raph and that works out.

[There is more tapping.] I would not be the best observer tonight. I would be prone to distraction.

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter's expression softens. ]

Another night, then. I don't really need to figure out the glyphs right now, anyway. Shirou and I figured out something that takes more prep and a charge, but still works.

[ He reaches under his bed for a crystal? Purple, with some glyphs inscribed in the side. ]

[othellovonryan]

A crystal?

[pyrighteous]

Yeah! Here, you can tap it to turn it on.

[othellovonryan]

[well time to see if this works for him!]

[Tapping.]

[pyrighteous]

[ The glyphs flare into life, and the stone immediately radiates a warm, pleasant heat. Also a purple glow. ]

How's that?

[othellovonryan]

[Ooooh purple.]

Oh, it's like a heating pad. [And it worked!]
