24th Spell: [Video]

[friendyousohard]

Why is there no map for this place... You know, I think that's a project that really needs to be undertaken. Maps of all the various caaaaaaaaa- oof!

[Stepping onto one of the ice-covered floors that covers the ice path, Twilight is interrupted by suddenly slipping and sliding all the way over to the wall on the opposite side, which she crashes headlong into.]

Urgh... that was unpleasant. Alright, just need to pay a bit more attention, let's tryyyyyyy- argh!

[Another step has her legs slipping straight out from under her, and she slides across to another corner of the room on her knees, face first. After a highly unpleasant sounding crash, she lets out a low groan and slides down the wall until she's face down, making highly unhappy noises.]

I. Hate. This. Cave.

[As if to add insult to injury, the Pokemon who's been holding the gear this whole time proceeds to step out onto the ice and easily slide its way over to its hapless trainer, holding out the gear.]

What? Oh just... just shut it off, Champ. I don't even want to worry about that map idea until I'm out of this place, now. Oh, my head...

Shoes probably don't have as much traction as bare skin, but I wouldn't really recommend traveling through ice with bare feet. [Falling a bunch is probably more desirable than frostbite.]

That doesn't sound really fun. Do you have camping gear that can handle that kind of temperature?

[friendyousohard]

[She shudders.] No, I think that's one experiment I am more than happy to avoid trying out personally.

If we have to, yes, particularly with some of our Pokemon to bolster it and keep a fire going, though we'll have to stick to weaker moves so as not to drown ourselves. It won't be pleasant, though.

[gardentrainer]

Well, I'm pretty sure it'll end in frostbite, so it's not really an experiment because we know the results.

Please take care of yourself! I hope you get out of there quickly. How long have you been in there already?

[friendyousohard]

Two, three hours, I believe. Long enough to get very, very sick of it, that's for sure.

[gardentrainer]

If you travel at the same speed for the rest of the way, you would be able to make it out in another four to six hours. [But that's probably being hopeful.] So you probably have a chance of getting out without having to camp.

[friendyousohard]

That's the hope, though it seems as though the trek is getting harder the further in we get. Maybe that's just my imagination though? I really hope it is.

[Hope's about all she's got right now.]

[gardentrainer]

It's possible that it might be getting harder because you're getting tired? [Jade is basically the queen of optimism. So Twilight can do no wrong with trying to rely on hope while conversing with her.] Have you guys sat down and rest a bit yet?

[friendyousohard]

If we're getting tired, there's a very real chance it's from hypothermia, which would mean sitting down and resting would be the worst thing we can do unless we can manage to get a decent fire going.

Which, admittedly, is why we all brought at least one fire-type, but even so I'm hesitant to risk it.

[gardentrainer]

Well, I wouldn't want you to stop unless you can stay warm!

But I hope you can get out fairly quickly. I wouldn't want you guys to get stuck in there. [Please don't die. :(]

[friendyousohard]

We'll get through. One way or another. We've been in worse spots than this before. It's not going to be fun, but we'll make it.

[That's about as reassuring as she can bring herself to be right now.]
