The blizzard had struck without warning. If there HAD been a warning, Chie hadn't seen it. The cabin didn't get TV reception all the way out in the mountains. Despite the heavy parka and thick mittens, her teeth were chattering, and her whole body shivered violently as she crunched across the deep white fields. Ducking her head against a swirl

Honestly once this blizzard decided to quit he was heading straight home, this really wasn't worth the effort. He sat on the couch, staring into the fire place, listening to the wood crackle and burn. There was no real power up here, not that he watched TV or anything.
The least Isono could have done was allow him a battery powered boombox for music or something.

...Oh man, that fire felt good. She could feel the warm air washing over her chilled face, and it was amazing. Even more amazing was the fact that the fire was still going, since she was pretty sure it would have died out...by...now ( ... )

Seto frowned when he realized she was just some lost kid from out in the snow, that storm could very well kill her so when she asked to use the fire he shrugged.
"Fine. But only until the storm stops." At least he wouldn't be bored so long as she was here, given she wasn't an annoying over the top wacko like Yuugi and his friends.

Though Chie was reluctant to shed a single layer, she was pretty wet, and she didn't want to bring in too much slush. So she toed off her boots, then unzipped her coat and hung it up. It probably wouldn't have been so bad if she hadn't worked up a sweat prior, and when her body temperature melted the snow that got too close to her skin, the problem just got worse.
She huddled gratefully next to the fire, as close as she dared, and held out her cold, numbed hands to absorb the heat. "I'm Chie. It's a lucky thing you're here! Did you come out for wilderness training too?"

~I'm alive, but somehow I've ended up on in a log cabin on a mountain... There's no TV or radio, and all I have with me are some suppressants and my Evoker. Hell, for all I know, I could be somewhere far away from home...~Distressing thoughts, for sure, and Shinji would have mulled it over some more if he hadn't run out of cocoa. While he wanted to get up and have another drink, the heat from the fire was finally warming him up, and fatigue he had not yet realized he had was setting upon him. With a yawn, the teen set the mug down in front of him and slumped over, letting sleep whisk him away ( ... )

For a long time she did nothing more than stare at him, gauging his threat level. He wasn't pulling a weapon, so that was good. He also wasn't making any lewd remarks, or staring at inappropriate places (though considering she was a big ball of coat and winter equipment, what was there really to see?!), and most importantly of all...she wanted to bask in front of that fireplace, and in the end, it won over her suspicions.
She plopped down again, still regarding him oddly. "You can stay, as long as you're not up to anything weird. I'm a kung fu master." And she could Galactic Punt giant robots.
...
The oddness of her own statement suddenly struck her as funny, and the corners of her mouth twitched. 'I'm alive.' 'I'm a kung fu master.'
"We both kind of suck at introductions, don't we?" she grinned. "I'm Chie."
(OOC: Pshaw! Now you can DEFINITELY stay! XD)
