"Uh, yeah sure. Gotta be in keeping with penguin modesty." This was the stupidest thing ever. He got a blanket for her anyway, and tossed it on top of Jerry, who was going to sleep.
Maybe Sasha would make a toga out of it, who knew. Sasha was a weirdo.
He turned back to the other penguins, and especially Jordan. "I can maybe take a guess from all the blanket-sharing going on." But yeah. The squawking one was definitely Rep.
Harrison tossed a fish over.

Aleister penguin made a face at the sardines, he wasn't that hungry. He had a fish. Instead he wriggled his way under the blanket. Picking up Pookie and swinging the blitzball's chain around his shoulders before picking up the sardines that had been given to him and waddling over to Harrison and laying the fish as his feet.
"Hi." He warked at Harrison, before sitting in the blanket and cuddling down.
< .... oh good you turned down the stinky fish. At least you'll just have normal fish breath.>
Aleister fluffed his feathers nipping at the ball before getting it to balance on his head again.

Sasha breathed a sigh of relief.
Harrison had saved the day.
"Thanks," she mumbled, idly reaching down to give Jerry-pengiun some careful scritches as she started to softly hum.
This wasn't so bad.

The humming and warm only seemed to sooth the scarred penguin more, cooing happily as he shifted into sleep, dreaming of flying under water without seals and whales...
The moment he seemed fully relaxed, though, suddenly the weight against Sasha grew exponentially, and it was only good that the blanket had been put in place as suddenly there was a slumbering human Jerry in the snow beside her, his face still pushed up against her leg.

"Hey, Seven," Harrison said. Weapon-identification, he could do. Non-withstanding the bizarrity of whatever was happening.
He took the apple out of his pocket, which still had the smiley face, although it had been in his pocket a while. He set it down in case Aleister wanted to nibble at it. He was balancing the ball in a menacing fashion.
"You wanna...fight or something?"
He was too busy watching penguin balancing antics to notice that Jerry had just become a whole lot less cuter.

Suddenly Jerry-penguin was Jerry again. She could feel his face mooshed into her thigh. At least he was sleeping??
Sasha clapped her hands over her eyes and started rocking back and forth, humming louder.

There was a very, very strange sensation. Then Jordan was looking at the world from a higher viewpoint again, and everything was much colder. ... At least there was a blanket wrapped around him. He adjusted it hastily.
Then he looked at the people around him, and the penguins still nearby. "Um," he said, reached carefully over for the other blanket, and dropped it on the penguin that was Rep. He got up carefully, trying to pretend that the red face was because of the cold. "Excuse me while I go get my clothes. If that fu - excuse me," he revised hastily, "if that stupid tech who snuck up on me with a bandage hasn't hidden them or something."
There was little to no dignity to be salvaged from this situation.

Rep was checking out the general area in case any of the other penguins felt like stealing his blanket when suddenly one of the rival penguins seemed to get a hell of a lot bigger. This was..unusual to say the least.
And then suddenly the blanket was gone. He was outraged! He glanced up at Jordan and flapped his flippers threateningly. "MY THING."
And then it was dark again. But he was still angry, wriggling out to try and peck at Jordan's toes angrily.
"SHARE"

Aleister ruffled at Harrison's greeting. There was a pause in the ball bouncing when thirteen asked if he wanted to fight. He shook his head, and warked, "Just having fun." Despite not realizing thirteen couldn't understand him.
He let the ball slid off his head and nudged it so it rolled to Harrison. Ruffling his feathers as he clicked his beak together.

The sudden cold slowly sank in, and Jerry woke with a start, his face pale and eyes crosseyed without their glasses as he sat up- the blanket thankfully landing around his lap, "N-NO WHALE NO WHALE NO-" He blinked at the blur around him, spotting Sasha rocking and humming frantically beside him.
His face went red as he wobbled, hauling the blanket up over his shoulders and around him, "Oh... oh goodness."
His breath tasted like sardines.
He tried to gather his thoughts, anxiously putting a hand on Sasha's shoulder, "Um... um are... are you alright? Ah... um. I... I could get you some fish?" Everyone liked fish, right? Right. Ugg his stomach hurt.

Yep. Got it in one. Harrison just looked at Jordan with his chin in one hand as he pulled up the blanket and sidled embarrassed back to the tent.
Explanations, he was owed a few.
He nudged the ball back Seven's way. ...Was that okay? Were they even supposed to touch each other's weapons? He didn't know the etiquette on that one, but he felt weird about it any way.

Jordan looked down at Rep, who was still a penguin, and probably wouldn't be for long. "You'd better stay under that blanket," he said. He shot an apologetic look at Harrison. "Uh. Coming with me?" He'd seen the eyebrows; between the business with the cots and penguin snuggling, he figured that he probably owed some kind of explanation at this point. He really, really hoped that Harrison would believe the truth.
The lab tent was fortunately not that far away. Important body parts would not freeze off. Still, it was <******** cold. He hurried.

He watched Jordan go with quiet bemusement. The big penguins were weird.
He figured at least this time there was no harm in it, and his friend was gone now. Flopping to his belly he wiggled into the dark under the blanket.
And not a moment before time either as suddenly laying on snow went from comfortable to EXCRUCIATINGLY COLD as he turned back, standing up with a yelp, hauling the blanket around him in an instinctive attempt to keep off the cold. <******** penguins." he snarled, trying to shake his head as thoughts flooded back in. It had been a lot LOT harder to think that time. He was going to ******** make lunchmeat out of anyone who came anywhere near him with a bandage for a while. He waved a hand and desummoned Tracey finally with a snarl.
At least he had a blanket, that was a ******** improvement, though it was still freezing. Not giving any shits about the cold, since his modesty was concealed and he was angry, he went to retrieve his scarf and put it on despite wearing very little else, glaring irritably at everyone else.
God he could taste fish. A LOT of fish and looked ill for just a moment. "This better not have had anything to ******** do with any of you okay?" yeah, threatening worked better than looking embarassed, though he was still blushing vividly as he turned on his heel and stalked off to go get some clothes back on.

"Jer-rrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!" Sasha was kind of screeching at this point.
"Go put some clothes on!!"
She pulled her hands away from her face just long enough that she could scramble to her feet - her eyes remained squished shut as tightly as she could manage. Once Sasha was standing, she unraveled her scarf from her neck and held it up to her face.
"RIGHT NOW!!"

Jerry tumbled back at the sudden shout, scrambling in his pile of blanket and snow before fumbling to his feet again, "Clothes? Penguins don't-" He shook his head, "Oh- oh- oh horsefeathers oh-" He gasped as realization dawned. He quickly turned to bolt towards the tent, but unfortunately without his glasses, he collided with the wrong tent's corner, sent tumbling back into the snow again blindly.
