Internet meme challenge, anyone? | Day 19

[ The feed snaps on and Peter and Gwen seem to be in the Gym. Peter’s sitting cross-legged on the floor, far enough back so that everyone can see him, off to the side is a bucket usually used for cleaning but in this case it’s filled with water. And Ice. Lots of ice. ]

Yo! Hey everyone, what’s up? Gwen and I were talking and we decided-to alleviate boredom-I’m not bored Mr Stark, don’t give me more chores!-we’d bring back some stuff from our world-worlds to help.

So what this is-is the ice bucket challenge. It's really simple and acted as a charity thing a few years ago so we’re gonna do it here. If you get nominated you either donate two bears to Mr Stark’s Teddy Bear Fund or you donate one bear and have a bucket of ice water dumped on your head.

We came up with this while I was poor and don’t have enough points so…

[ He gestures to the bucket of Ice Water. ]


[ Gwen is nearby, as is just a common thing with the Spider-Couple. Standing instead of sitting, leaning casually on the wall as she listens to Peter and nods. She has her phone in her hand and is scrolling through the music on it, but absolutely paying attention.

Just...give her one second and then she looks at the camera with an embarrassed grin.
]

Sorry! Yep! We figured...well, I figured it’d be a great way to build a bigger sense of community if we did something to help with the Teddy Bear fund. The original purpose of this, back on our separate versions of Earth, was to raise awareness for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and the money donated went towards research for a cure. So what you do, as Peter will demonstrate is dump the ice water over your head and nominate a handful of people to do the challenge.

Me, I just plan on buying some bears.

[ She’s probably not dumping ice water over her head. Maybe.


...she might.
]


Yup!

[ Peter chimes in, glancing at the water and then… making a face. ]

I’m totally gonna do this.

...might need some help because that water is gonna be really Effin’ cold.


But first uh.. I nominate Mr Stark, Gwen- [ He shoots her a grin. ] Kaito, Danny and uh Eva.


[ Gwen shoots Peter a look at being nominated, one that’s both loving and ‘you little shit’ at the same time. She adores her boyfriend, though, so she will eventually be doing this challenge. But for now, she’s going to help with the bucket. Tucking hre phone into her pocket, she heads over and picks the bucket up and then sits beside him. ]

If we’re doing this, we’re doing this together. We can manage it.


[ He does not look excited about this-why did they decide to do this again? ]

Oh man, this is gonna suck.


You’ll be fine. I nominate Ignis, and my bestie, Renee.

[ With that, Gwen hoists the bucket above her and Peter and with maybe two seconds of hesitation, dumps it out over the two of them and gasps as ice and water hit her. ]


Ohshit!

[ Peter curses as he gasps along side her. ]

Gwen Stacy. Nice to meet you, Prompto.

You get nominated, you accept or decline. If you accept, you do the challenge and then nominate others. Make sure to clean up after yourself.

Awesome!

Yeah, I heard the guy harping about that. What's his deal? It's just water.

My new friend, I don't even know. I think the people who assume we're going to get colds or hypothermia from five seconds of being in cold water are kind of over-reaching.

Not to mention, I heal fast. Yeah, I had a cod a few weeks ago, but that's pretty out of the ordinary for me. Plus, I brought stuff to clean this up with and have some hot tea. I thought this out fairly well.

[Yay! He has a new friend.]

I think I heard in a story once that someone melted from water, but I'm pretty sure that's not really a thing.

Well don't worry about me! I've jumped in ponds and stuff without checking the temperature before. This wouldn't be the first time I've been wet and cold.

[ He has a new Spider-Friend. Those are the best kind. ]

That's The Wizard of Oz. The Wicked Witch had water dumped on her and she melted away. Great book. Someone even wrote prequel novels and interesting backstory for it and explained that reaction as a severe and dangerous allergy. It was kind of a weird explanation and didn't entirely make sense? But whatever.

And there are whole groups of people who make it a point to jump into icy water for charity. It's called a Polar Bear Plunge. The charities vary, but people jump into frozen lakes in summer swim-wear. This is nothing compared to that.

Really? Huh, I don't know if it's called that where I'm from, but yeah I think it was something like that.

[He laughs hearing about the other challenge.]

That's hilarious! I would totally do that! Too bad we don't have a pool or something.
