[Chii very shakily turned on her device as she keeps it firmly in her hands. It's obvious from the shaking that Chii is in fact shivering and just doesn't quite know how to stop. But she certainly looks confused.]

Chii doesn't understand why Chii is shivering. Is it because of the curse people speak of, or is it that Chii is broken?

[She had heard about it being a curse, but Chii still hadn't been in one before, so this was a new experience for her to say the least, even the feeling of cold was new.]

[shirleyhopeful]

No, you're not b-broken! I'm afraid that this is a curse that's going o-on. I'm not sure why they would make us this cold though...

[Must not sneeze, must not sneeze...MUST NOT SNEEZE!]

[Voice]

[apersonjustforme]

Chii doesn't understand curses, nor does Chii understand what cold is. It's why Chii thought Chii was broken.

[She can't stop shivering, it's a normal reaction people show so maybe she was just copying them.]

[Voice]

[shirleyhopeful]

Ah...

[How to explain this...]

Well, you aren't broken and it's what people usually feel whenever the temperature drops and that is what is happening right now.

[...She thinks]

[Voice]

[apersonjustforme]

Temperature has dropped, so people are cold. But Chii doesn't have a temperature to be cold.

[Chii is more confused.]

[Voice]

[shirleyhopeful]

[...What]

What do you mean? [Of course, Shirley doesn't even realize that Chii is a robot]

Everyone has a temperature so you should too right? [Hm...]

[pendragon]

You're not broken, Chii. There's a curse going around that causes one to feel cold unless they have physical contact. [ As an after thought, the knight nods in greeting. ]

( video )

[apersonjustforme]

[She nods back, mostly out of copying, but never the less.]

Physical contact. Does Saber mean like hugs?

[pendragon]

You're right. Hugging, shaking hands.. any kind of touch that is wanted and mutual. [ Another confirming nod. ]

[apersonjustforme]

Shaking hands? Chii has never shaken hands before. [She nods, she understands.] Touching that is wanted and mutual.

[pendragon]

You're correct. From what I've heard, it also works best with someone you've never done it with before. If you keep sharing contact with the same person, it will lose effect.

[fightforastar]

[Broken?]

You're all right, sweetie. It's just the curse.

You know, if you hug a friend it helps you warm up a bit.

[apersonjustforme]

Chii now knows it's a curse and that physical contact, like hugging helps.

[She tilts her head for the moment.]

Does Tifa want a hug?

[fightforastar]

Well, sure, if you'd like.

[apersonjustforme]

Then Chii will go and hug Tifa.

[fightforastar]

Okay. Where are you right now?

action in the manor?

[parasolspinning]

Chii... ?

[Shiro has huddled himself under about three blankets and, for some reason, a random yukata spread out on top of his blanket pile. But he's STILL not warm.

In spite of that, he's more concerned about Chii than himself.]

Are you alright... ?

action

[apersonjustforme]

[Chii looked over for a moment before standing up and making her way over.]

Chii...Chii is cold, but Chii has never been cold before, so Chii thought Chii was broken.

[Doesn't mean she'll put on layers though, she doesn't understand that yet.]

action

[parasolspinning]

No... no, you're not broken.

[he shuffles over]

You should try to get warm. Here...

[and takes one of the blankets off his own massive pile, moving to slip it around her shoulders]

action

[apersonjustforme]

Chii knows that now. [She smiles, before looking at the blanket now on her shoulders.]

Chii... ,small>[She wasn't sure what it meant, but he did mention to keep her warm, so it probably was a good thing.] Thank you.

action

[parasolspinning]

You're welcome, Chii. I wouldn't want you to be uncomfortable.

[Voice]

[shippingmath]

The curse. You mean you don't understand why it's so cold, don't you? Yeah, as just about everyone's assumed by now, it's pretty damn guaranteed to be that we're being fucked with.

[Voice]

[apersonjustforme]

Chii doesn't understand why Chii is so cold. But Chii knows now it's to do with this curse. [Head tilts.] Being fucked with?

[Voice]

[shippingmath]

If you don't understand what the hell's going on, "It's a curse" is generally the right answer.

Fucked with, as in messed with.

[Voice]

[apersonjustforme]

Then Chii will remember that for next time, thank you.

[Said with a smile.]

Fucked with means messed with, so there is more than one way of saying something, Chii didn't know that.

[Voice]

[shippingmath]

Of course there are. What the hell do you think synonyms are for?
