[As a video is triggered Selina can be seen curled up on her chair right in front of the computer, bundled tighter than a California roll. She’s burrowed up to her eyes under what appears to be an armada of wool blankets. Apart from her own pale eyes, the pointed black tips of what are clearly Miss Kitty’s ears can be briefly glimpsed before disappearing.

There’s a barely visible mug of what appears to be steaming-hot cocoa with miniature marshmallows cupped in her hands, but something is amiss. While it’s winter in her world, Selina shouldn’t have to be so weighed down by all this heavy material.

Upon closer observation, a network of rime has settled into even the remotest corners of the room, covering everything with a thick layer of frost and the vaguest traces of mist. Not that it could make things worse, but the ceiling also appears to be raining tiny flakes of ice.

She’s gazing at the community as if she wants to say something, but she’s too reluctant to lift her head out of the warm cocoon of her blankets. Eventually (which is to say several minutes later) she pokes her head out long enough to address the community:]

What the hell?



(ooc: Frost, it's a metaphor for the glacial edge she's adopted to her personality...and she spent the past few evenings in the presence of the person she loathes most which doesn't help at all.)

[dekillerqueen]

Ah. I appear to be having a similar problem.

[kittyhell]

[Forgive her muffled voice, she refuses to pop her head out of her blankets again...too cold.]

I take it your home is covered floor to ceiling with frost?

[dekillerqueen]

Yes. Or, rather, it starts to happen if I attempt to ignore the occasional rain and thunder.

[kittyhell]

Glad to know I'm not the only one. Virus?

[dekillerqueen]

It must be.

[kittyhell]

Well, I hope you're not terribly inconvenienced by it. [Because it's a real pain in her butt.]

[dekillerqueen]

... Actually, I had work to do today.

[kittyhell]

Had? Does this mean you had to forego work?

[dekillerqueen]

Yes, I'm afraid.

[starblaze]

Is this your first virus?

[kittyhell]

Yes...yes I think it is...s'cold...are the viruses usually this cold?

[starblaze]

No, they can range from people turning into animals to... this... [she's surrounded by mist and rainbows.]

[kittyhell]

I...see...on the plus side I have some vacation time set aside...

[starblaze]

How have you been lately?

[kittyhell]

Okay I suppose [albeit a little confused and disgusted that she's had to team up with someone vile] no better or worse than I have been. How about you?

[starblaze]

It's been pretty uneventful here. [aside from community shenanigans]

[kittyhell]

Is this a good thing or are you bored?

(voice.)

[godofabs]

What a development.

[kittyhell]

[You...you, you, you.]

Don't hold back, if you're going to laugh then laugh...

...I still have my cocoa.

[godofabs]

I would not even wish the fate of a virus even upon you, Selina Kyle.

[kittyhell]

I can't tell if you're a really simple man or a really complicated man.

Either way I'm loathsome to you and you're wasting your time on...whatever it is you're trying to accomplish, Thor.

[godofabs]

I am simply, myself. Because I do not agree with what you are doing, does not mean I wish you ill.

[kittyhell]

They say the Aesir and the Giants didn't get along so great, that they fought...according to human myths. Would you say that's true? [Now what's up with this change of subject and line of questioning?]

[godofabs]

The myths, to some extent are true, yes.

[kittyhell]

Yeah, the Thor they speak of in our texts was pretty famous for smiting giants and other monsters...how exciting.
