[Video] Ice bucket challenge!

[mtsilver_conquor]

[There's towels around Eva as she sits cross-legged on the gym floor. Peter and Seto stand behind her with a rather large bucket between them. A large, icy water-filled one. Eva's grin is impish.] Before anyone questions my sanity, I once ate three ghost peppers just because my boyfriend and Rival didn't think I'd do it. This? I'm doing just because. And it's important.

So, I'll be donating two bears after this.

[She twists to look up at the pair behind her.] Ready?

Of course.
Yep!

[And the bucket of icey water is upended as she twists back around to face the ICP-]

By furīzā and all the ice-gods that's cold-

[Says the one with hair in her face and an Orange shirt now clinging to her torso, but, despite the cursing, there's a laughing grin.] Myths, at least I 'balled Princess before this. As for nominating- whoever wants to do this!

[ Ah, this had made it worth it. Seto dutifully drapes a towel over her, grinning. He's finally found a dry shirt, but his hair is still a mess. ]

That, I believe, is the point. But you really think we'll get volunteers out of the blue?

[mtsilver_conquor]

We've enough people aboard the train now there should be at least one. [BRB burrowing into the towel as she shoves hair out of eyes.

Also, claiming him as a brother, never mind it really hasn't been that long since they met.]

If nothing else, we should end up with a good pile of bears. Plus, it was kinda fun.

[blue_ice]

I guess it was.

[ He just grins as he watches her. ]

I have to hand it to you for handling it well.

[Eva smirks.]

This wasn't that cold; not compared to what I've unwilling swum in a few times. Ice-types never play fair with water temps and it's always colder than you think.

So... if I am getting what this whole thing is about. it's about getting bears, but at the same time making people dunk cold buckets of water on them? Modern things are really confusing.

[mtsilver_conquor]

Yea, but you don't have to do it if you don't want to.

Me though? I did it just because.

[She is a Responsible Adult. Really.]

[adropofsunlight]

So there is also a choice behind it.

I think I understand this whole thing now. Thank you.

[mtsilver_conquor]

Yeah pretty much. You can just get and donate the bears, too.

[Eva smiles.] Glad I could help.

[adropofsunlight]

I guess I'll add donating bears to the list of things I need to do next to more paint and books.

[Shaking his head and grinning. This is better than tv! But he's starting to wonder just what he's gotten himself into by joining the inmates of the VoidTrecker.]

You guys... get really bored on this train, huh?

Re: Video

[mtsilver_conquor]

[Lots of stir-crazy, Duo. Lots of it.

She laughs, grin as bright as the sun.]

Yeah, we do. But, it is a long three weeks between Missions, and there's only so many times you can do the same things without looking for alternatives.

[maxwellsdaemon]

Knitting is a good way to pass the time. Not as cold either!

Not that I can knit or anything...

Video

[mtsilver_conquor]

I can't either, though it could be a fun hobby.

[Given her main hobby is virtually untenable for the foreseeable future.]

Re: Video

[maxwellsdaemon]

Hah guess with nothing better to do, it'll keep my hands busy!

[Though how he had somehow managed to get onto knitting and even suggest he might take up such an act was beyond him. But he supposed it was a good way to kill time]

Video

[mtsilver_conquor]

Not used to idle hands, then?

Video

[maxwellsdaemon]

Not really, no... Always had somethin to do, even if it was tinkering with my... ride...

Video

[mtsilver_conquor]

Who knows, maybe you'll be able to find a new bike to tinker with on one of the worlds we visit.

Video

[maxwellsdaemon]

That would be sweet!

Guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Re: Video

[mtsilver_conquor]

Yeah. It shouldn't be that hard to find one. A Mission to a tech-based world is bound to happen eventually.

[She is very much encouraging stealing. Her moral centre is - good for her world, but kinda screwy outside it.]

[stealsyourheart]

[ CHEERING ]

You go, Iden'no-san!

video

[mtsilver_conquor]

Thanks.

That was fun. It wasn't as cold as I made it out to be though.

video

[stealsyourheart]

[ He grins ]

Think it's the shock, more than anything.

video

[mtsilver_conquor]

Probably, though compared to what I've unwilling swum in a few times - not that bad. Trust me, ice-types never play fair with water temps and it's always colder than you think.

[Protip: always have an Escape Rope or abra on hand to teleport out of icy water.]

[stealsyourheart]

That sounds nasty~ I am eternally glad we don't have Pokemon in my world!

[mtsilver_conquor]

It is, but it's something you learn very, very quickly to be mindful of in an area where they've been spotted.

Though, that's willing swims.

[stealsyourheart]

.... I'm guessing there are UNwilling times?

[mtsilver_conquor]

Yeah. Several times. But it's just... something that happens sometimes.

[SHRUG.] I did rescue a tamazarashi out of one, so...

[stealsyourheart]

What, like an accident?

What's that? [ He tips his head curiously ]

[mtsilver_conquor]

Something like that.

[Well, less accident and more like diving into icy water to avoid being roasted by a Fire Blast, but details he doesn't need to know.]

One second- [-brb retrieving pokedex and pulling up an image of a spheal.] It's rather cute, isn't it?

[stealsyourheart]

.... It's round!

[ he is not DAWWWWWWWWWWWWWing yes he is ]

[mtsilver_conquor]

Well, yea. It's a baby. They get less round as they grow.

[stealsyourheart]

All babies get less cute.

[ He sighs sadly ]

They're dangerous though?

[mtsilver_conquor]

They stay cute as they grow, though.

[She nods.]

Yeah. Every pokemon is, even the newborns.

[stealsyourheart]

Really? Like Princess, you mean?

[mtsilver_conquor]

Yeah. Though pikushī look more adult and the wings enable them actually fly during the full moon.

Not just float.

[stealsyourheart]

[ He is obviously trying to picture this and failing ]

I think you'll need to show me, sometime. [ he gives up ] Your pokemon look just enough like the animals in my world to make picturing it difficult while being wildly different.

* the end one but mix the two images together

[mtsilver_conquor]

Sure.

[The hologram shown is of a pink pseudo-rabbit-like* creature with wings. Actual wings that are no longer vestigal.].

I like him as a Pippi though. Less fur to brush.

dawww

[stealsyourheart]

That is too cute to be allowed to fly.

Re: dawww

[mtsilver_conquor]

[So much laughter and arthare manic happy sharkgrin, and then another hologram shows up.

This time it's woobat and is little more than a fuzzy ball of fur and nose. If he looks hard enough, eyes and ears can be made out, but it's mostly floof.

99% floof, really.]

[hashtagparkerluck]

[ While setting the bucket back down. ]

Man, I miss ghost peppers...

your world has Tomato Berries right? I've been led to believe that's one of the spiciest things.

[mtsilver_conquor]

Tomato Berries...?

[There's a blink or two of confusion before she grins sheepishly.] Oh! That's the Alolan name for them... Yeah, we have them, though I know them better as 'matoma berry-fruits'. But, anyway, no. They're not that spicy. You'd want the nazo berry-fruit fo that. But even then, it's nothing compared to ghost peppers.

[She means the engima berry. That thing is SPICY!]

You're going to be teaching me as much as I will you.
