[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.]

[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. ]

[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]

[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.

[Voice]

[apersonjustforme]

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

[Chii is more confused.]

( video )

[apersonjustforme]

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

Physical contact. Does Saber mean like hugs?

[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?

[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.

[fightforastar]

Well, sure, if you'd like.

[apersonjustforme]

Then Chii will go and hug Tifa.

[fightforastar]

Okay. Where are you right now?

[apersonjustforme]

Chii is currently at Chii's new home with Shiro.

[fightforastar]

I'll come see you. I'd like to see your new place anyway.

[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.

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... ?

[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.

[apersonjustforme]

Does that mean Chii can hug random strangers? Or does Chii ask strangers first?

[apersonjustforme]

Okay. Chii will wait here. [With that she sneezes slightly.]

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.]

[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?

[pendragon]

You can, yes. [ A pause. ] Make sure to ask them first.

[apersonjustforme]

Okay, Chii will ask people first. [She smiles.] Does Saber need a hug?

[pendragon]

I.. [ Saber is tempted to say she doesn't. She has had some physical contact, but.. ] could use a hug. It'd help both of us. Would you like to meet downtown sometime today?

((OOC: Do you want to handwave them just meeting downtown and hugging?))
