What: WHAT'S COOLER THAN BEING COOL? FREEZING TO DEATH. Alternatively: the humans of group nine wake up in a post-interlude, post-revival pile of bodies.
Rating/Warning: PG-13 for mentions of slow, frostbitten death, among other things.

[ the last thing steven can remember is feeling bitterly cold.

really, it's the last thing that his brain was able to process before blacking out. reasoning with the spirit that they had angered had worked until a point: it hadn't killed them in a fit of rage, but the below freezing temperatures that it left in its wake did the trick. with neji having been killed before and jibril being able to survive the cold for longer than them, that left steven, dipper and duo to a slow, hypothermic grave.


if there's one regret he doesn't have, it's being able to return carbink to its poké ball before it froze, too. he had used the last of his strength for that - in doing so, none of his pokémon had to see him die again. they're all blissfully unaware of it, and he intends to keep it that way. he can't worry his partners like that, especially after his first death in the dark colony labyrinth.

but onto the present. he feels like he's been unconscious for some time; in line with how he felt the last time he had died, but without the visible trip to the nexus code. just like that before, he awakens with a startled gasp - the difference now is that he's still cold, despite the relative warmth of the air around him. it's a strange feeling, and one that he can't seem to shake.

another difference is that he's not alone. in fact, he has what appears to be an elbow pushing against his stomach, and it is extremely uncomfortable. unfortunately, he can't move much due to the fact that he's sandwiched between two of his lovely groupmates. the best he can do is try to budge, but that isn't going to do much until they come to. ]
