Who: Konoha and open!
Where: around the city;
When: August 28-30;
Summary: He's now run into plenty of people who needed warming up. Now, he's on the search for them.
Warnings: n/a

[Konoha, personally, isn't terribly affected by the warmth of his own body. Sure, usually he feels a lot cooler than this, but it's not unbearable this way either. The people who're so cold that they're bundled up in layers and layers of clothing and still shivering seem so much more uncomfortable than he is. He's already run into a few of them. He's sure there are more.

So he's going out these last few days, on the lookout for anyone buried under clothes or shivering or looking cold in any other way. He'll approach you, unreadable, sleepy-looking expression his face, and when he speaks his words come out slowly as if he's carefully choosing each one, but it's not difficult to understand.]

Are you cold...? I can help.

[When the coldness first kicked in, Charlie hadn't minded that much. Free cuddling? Sounded like the perfect pick up line to introduce herself to some of the other girls.

That was before she started shivering. Plus, she could never seem to find her opposite when she needed them - so there she was, trembling so hard she felt like she was going to shake apart, buried in sweaters and feeling decidedly put out.

The question, therefore, doesn't find her in the best of moods.] How?

If you're cold, and you touch someone who's warm, it'll feel a little better. It worked for some people.

I'm warm, so I can help you.

[He holds out his hands.]

[...You are so not what she has in mind for cuddling, but. She reaches out to take his hand anyway.]

Thanks. [She smiles at least. She's thankful. Just lonely, and angry, and freaking cold.]

[thestoryof]

[He is never the person anyone has in mind. But he doesn't mind if he realizes that, just nodding and stepping a little closer.]

You're welcome. I was feeling kind of hot, too, so thank you.

[not_really_charlie]

[It's got nothing to do with him; honest. He's just... a guy. And she's into... not guys? Really, if he could just change his entire body shape she'd probably be fine.]

It's fine...

[thestoryof]

[He waits. If she steps in closer, he has no problem with that, but he's learned that not everyone wants to be this close to someone they don't know well.]

My name is Konoha. What about you?

[not_really_charlie]

Charlie. [She keeps an eye on him, frowning faintly as she watches him. It's just casual suspicion at this point. Random stranger guy.]

You been here long?
