[Danny was standing beside a bucket, filled with much more ice than water,]

So Peter nominated me for the ice bucket challenge thing. Stop me if I get this wrong, because this whole thing is new to me.

Basically I can pick between donated two teddy bears, or donating one teddy bear and dumping a bucket of ice over my head. And hey, I kind of like ice now. So I'm going for the bucket option.

[He picks up the bucket.]

Oh, and by the way. I'm nominating Daia, Trowa and Kaiba. Have fun guys.

[And with that he picks up the bucket and dumps a pile of ice over his head. Oddly, he doesn't shiver at all]

[ Kaiba's eyes narrow at the scene. Yeah, he knows your secret dude. You didn't feel a thing. ]

We're definitely on even footing there. I don't even have enough points left over for a single bear, so does that mean I have to do this twice?

[ But he's never one to back down from a challenge, so he dutifully fills a bucket. ]

[Danny just grins at him.]

Eh, I'm sure you can just IOU it. Or I saw someone offering to make them.

[Daia watches intently, curiously. Listening to the instructions and his name for nomination.

He looks over at his teddy bear that he got the day he arrived here, and he definitely doesn't want to give that up. And when Danny drenches himself, he thinks it looks easy enough.]

I accept!

[It's said with boundless enthusiasm, especially since Kaiba's in it too. He does his best to get a bucket together, trying to match it to what he saw Danny with - more ice than water.

He makes sure he's proper in front of the camera, hoists the bucket, and dumps it on himself.

It's a harsh shiver, one that makes him cringe. No fair! Danny made it look so easy.

.....yyyyyep, he's definitely cold, and violently shivering. Are those tears forming in his eyes?]

I... I-I-I d-d-d-d-did i-i-i-it.... N-n-now wh-wh-wh-what...?

[How long does he have to stand like this? Help.]

Hey, uh, Daia? You have a towel over there, right? You should probably try and warm up. Do you need me to bring something over?

Oh, and you were kind of supposed to name who you were challenging first?

I really don't see how this 'raises awareness', through. With this lot, wouldn't appeals to common decency be enough for most of them? Looks like it's just an exercise in humiliation.

[ He takes a breath and hoists the bucket onto the bench beside him. After a moment of thought, he slips his hoodie off and places it over his lap. ]

One bear it is.

[ He takes a deep breath, locks his jaw, and tips it over his head---the cold is a shock to his system. He nearly drops the bucket with a yelp, but redoubles his grip and finishes, finally dropping the bucket with an exhale when it's empty.

Another shuddering breath and he peels his shirt off---it's a little better, but not much. He folds his arms over his chest, still shivering. ]

It's....likely easier if you get someone else to hold the bucket.

A... t-t-towel?

[He looks around the room, but... nope. He did not grab a towel. Uhm...

He blinks.]

I-I-I w-w-was s-s-s'posed to wh-what?

[Why would he challenge anyone? Those weren't in your rules, Danny. He figured you just nominated him for funsies. He gives a thoughtful look between shivers. Who should he challenge? Is it too late to challenge, now?]

[Oh, hi there. Kaiba sure is shirtless and Daia gives out a very happy squeal.

Don't mind him, he's just going to go bright red for a moment and appreciate the view.]

Ah! Uhm, err, uh...

Towel! Do you need a towel? I can bring you one.

[He might be tripping over his own sentences a bit, but he's practically an excited puppy wagging his tail.]

[ He can feel his cheeks turning pink, and not necessarily from the cold. He knew from the tabloids that his good looks has often earned him admirers, but anyone who got to know him personally was soon offput by his personality. So personal attention is Very New. ]

I'd appreciate it. I'm in dining mopping up.

[ And that is indeed what Daia will find him doing, skin still pink from the ice. ]

I saw he got you too. You okay?

[Why does Yugi feel nervous. Was it because Kaiba was nominated and he knows what that will mean for the other. Yes, that probably was it. 100%]

So... I don't get this whole thing. But I am going to guess those you nominate, nominate others after this, right?

[He just knows Kaiba too well to know what will happen.]

[Allen knew that cold was good for some things, but... this was something else and it was baffling.]

I do not see the point is doing this unless you really needed a cold shower.

[Is losing his resolve not to laugh at these things because they're technically for charity, but hearing his friend's name being mentioned...]

Trowa has to do this now? Oh man, can you record on these things??

"That's the idea, I think. I did it because Peter nominated me first." A beat. "And I was really bored."

No idea? But now I'm thinking Voidtrecker home movies would be the funniest thing ever.

I think its mostly that everyone is really bored. And its an excuse to both do something dumb for a good cause and volunteer all your friends to do the same thing. Where's the downside of that?

Stay right there. I've got an extra towel in my bag.

[Danny was already running towards their room. ]

And yeah, that's the fun part of the challenge. If you do it, then you can challenge your friends to do it too."

I admit I don't know honestly. Good causes are all well and good, but I am sure there are many other ways to do it as well.

I mean, I get there isn't a whole lot to do on here, but I never thought to do that out of boredom.

But I should also prepared for the inevitable since you nominated someone I know and he will nominate me.

You can always just turn it down, right? I mean, no one hasto do it. This is just for fun.

And people who want to can go do those, while people who feel like doing something entertainingly dumb can do this.

I guess. People do have a choice in that after all.

[To be fair, he was a clown so doing dumb yet entertainingly things would be up his street.]

Thank you for explaining things a bit to me though. Never hurts to understand, right?

Let me explain a bit about Kaiba. He will take anything as a challenge and because I am his rival of sorts he will expect me to do it too.

If I don't he considers himself the best. Plus, I consider it a very strange bonding experience or friendship exercise.

Edited 2020-04-12 15:31 (UTC)

Oh, uh, sorry about that? [Danny hadn't really talked to Kaiba that much outside of that one battle, and certain rivalry things hadn't really come to his attention.]

I don't suppose there's any way I could help you get out of it?

Hey, no prob.

I'm Danny by the way. I don't think we've met before?

[Duo's eyes light up and he looks VERY interested in this idea]

Now THAT is a great idea! I mean, hasn't anyone been documenting things around here? Surely you guys get up to some weird stuff? Why not capture it all on camera?

My name is Allen. Allen Walker. I'm one of the newer arrivals.

No. I am happy to do it honestly. I mean... Might be freezing cold afterward, but I like to think it's a step towards positive things when it comes to Kaiba.

Not as far as I know. I mean, I don't even know if anyone here has a camera.

That's kinda disappointing, man. Really disappointing.

Maybe we need to get ourselves a camera!

Welcome to the train, I guess. I've been here a while now.

Uh, okay? [It didn't make much sense to him. But different worlds, different ways of doing things.]

Have fun with it then, I guess?

How long is a while?

[he is at least aware it won't be a year because he had been told no one has been here that long.]

Well, there's an idea. I got my telescope last month. A camera shouldn't be too hard to get.

Eh, a couple of months. I got here right before the whole inspector thing and volcano nightmare planet. But you kind of lose track of time after a while.

Volcano nightmare planet?

[To be fair that sounds like it exactly says on the tin.]

Danny makes a face.

"Yeah... Let's just say there's a reason I call it that. Whole place was starting to fall apart as we were leaving. Lots of fire and earthquakes and other things you don't want to be around."

I think that'd be a good use of points for sure!

Capture people's embarrassing moments!

As one of the resident superheroes I feel like I should be objecting to this. But as a resident superhero, potential blackmail is also a very convenient thing to have.

Yeah, I don't think I would want to be around that going on either. Do not blame you for hating it.

... You're a superhero?

And I wasn't thinking blackmail! More... a bit of fun to brighten people's day!

"Having a sucky day? Here's something to make you smile!"

That kinda thing.
