LUMINE: The blanket will come in handy in protecting her from the cold, but not by much! She may not get frostbite as easily as she would otherwise, but touching the morgue doors-- even with her hands covered by a blanket-- still gives her a tiny case of frostnip. (i.e. her fingers will turn blue and numb, but they'll heal within like a few IC days). The doors will not open no matter how much physical force she uses, and most of her elemental attacks don't seem to do anything, either.

However, as soon as she zaps the morgue locker doors with electro, something strange happens. . . each door lights up with a stylized image of a monster. There are nine images in all, and upon further investigation, she will notice these images are the exact same ones that are etched upon each team's dorm door: a phoenix, a cerberus, a nymph, etc etc. The images will fade within a few seconds.

WOLF: Wolf's sun powers will also help protect him from the cold, but only a little bit! He won't get frostbite when he slams into the doors, but like Lumine, he may get a tiny smidge of frostnip that will cure itself within a few IC days. The doors do not budge as he slams into them, but using his sun powers to ram the doors will produce the same lit up symbols as Lumine. Only. . . this time, all the etchings of the various team monsters are super dead. They're all covered in blood and stabbed with various spears and swords. Rip monsters. . . the symbols will vanish within a few seconds.

Amidst the stench of rot and flesh, Wolf will be able to pick up the faint whiff of carnations.

Wolf will also attract plant ire by trying to eat them or remove them :( LIKE WITH EVERYONE ELSE WHO MESSES WITH FLOWERS, they will try to take a bit bite out of him and Lumine, and the vines will attempt to steal eyeballs if they can!! The plants can be beaten back into submission, but Wolf and Lumine will sustain mile injuries from same.

THE THRONE: And finally, the moment Lumine touches the throne, ice will coalesce around her hand and wrist to freeze her in place. More ice will bloom around her feet and ankles to do likewise, and even Wolf will find himself suddenly rooted in spot by ice that seems to be growing out of nowhere! A shrill laugh fills the room, and a skeleton woman riding atop a crowned dragon will creep out from behind the throne. It's clear she is the one controlling the ice, for every time she flicks her hand, more crystals being to form around Wolf and Lumine's appendages.

If asked who she is, she will introduce herself as Mother Harlot and express her pleasure at having found two new playthings to toy with. She doesn't seem intent on killing them. . . at least, not right away? It's kind of that feeling one gets when they're a mouse being toyed with by a cat, sweats. She will answer no other questions and offer no further insight onto why those mysterious symbols appeared on the morgue doors.

Fortunately, Wolf and Lumine can use their abilities to break the ice shackles, but. . . they will find themselves freezing from the inside out, as though they are underneath some sort of spell. No sun magic nor blanket will be able to protect them from that, and if nothing is done about it, they will both be turned into ice statues within ten minutes.

The cup that Mother Harlot is sipping at. . . it's producing steam, and smells like whatever Wolf and Lumine's favorite warm drinks are (it can be different for both of them).

FOLLOW UP: would either of them go for the drink, or would they try something else to combat the internal freezing?
