[Accidental Video]

[Link had honestly meant for this to go a lot smoother and he sure as hell hadn't meant for his 'gear to drop in the process of..well..he had been trying to basically play hockey with his Floatzel and a Spheal.

The Spheal sort of..kind of the puck.

His 'gear is dropped as he attempts to get control of his sliding across some ice, the Spheal in his arms and looking completely okay with this entire situation. Link manages to swing himself around on the ice, face in the direction of his 'gear only to have his feet start to go out from under him. He lets out a yelp and tries to regain his bearings but he's moving too fast and that wall is too close--]

Link!

[Too little, too late, Sidon.

There's an echoing thud as Link hits the wall, the Spheal still contently nestled in his arms and smacking it's flippers together.

Let's do it again!

Link let's out a breath and starts to straighten up only to freeze as a chirping-bark alerts him to something, the blonde looking up and towards the 'gear just as Pumpkin the Floatzel comes skidding into view and promptly slams into Link and the Spheal, pinning them against the wall as he scrambles and falls to right himself.

Off screen there's a heavy sigh.]

I told you not to run.



[Responses will come from both of these idiots.]

[that was probably the most incredible wipeout Madoka has seen since she arrived. Link should be proud.]

Um ... are you all okay?

[apexprince]

I promise you, he's alright. No fall so small could keep Link down.

[Sidon picked up his partner's gear and peered into it a second before showing the scene of the young man picking himself and the pokemon up from the ice. He's not been so inclined to post on the network on his own, but... well he can't ignore a concerned voice, even if the concern is over his reckless friend who bounces like rubber.]

[soulcomet]

Well — if you're absolutely sure...

Though, you sort of make it sound like he falls a lot.

[apexprince]

Falls... mostly because he throws himself about with abandon. Usually in the direction of something dangerous, in my experience.

[Still getting her bearings with the strange new world and technology, Elsa wouldn't ordinarily be quick to respond to something on the network just yet. But this? This certainly catches her attention and she watches the entire thing.

When all of them collide into the wall, Elsa gasps.]

Is- is that small round thing in your arms alright?

[She sounds Very Concerned. It just seems so small and innocent, she can't help it. She has... very little sympathy for Link, he's old enough to know better and shouldn't be putting small creatures in danger like that!!]

Video

[timelesschampion]

[It takes a moment for a response to come because first Link has to get Pumpkin out of the way. Said Floatzel topples forward onto all fours as he's shoved, letting out a bark as he slides forward, effectively blocking most of the view.

Which is why Link holds the Spheal up over his head, the little ball of blubbering wobbling about in delight.

See? It's okay!]

Video

[frozenfractalsallaround]

[Elsa visibly relaxes and lets out a relieved sigh upon seeing that Spheal is okay, but then her expression grows stern.]

You should be more careful! What if it had gotten hurt?

[Big Sister mode is activating, even if it's a little rusty from years of neglect.]

Traveling the Ice Path, I take it?

[timelesschampion]

[Now that he's no longer pinned, Link slides his way over to where his 'gear is, the Spheal now tucked under one arm as he wobbles his way across. The 'gear is picked up by Sidon, though, and Link waves at Sion before shaking his head, motioning around.

Icefall Cave, from the looks of it.]

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

Ah... someplace on the Sevii Islands, then?

*he and Ryner really ought to visit them sometime*

Action

[apexprince]

[Somehow Sidon had grown used to all this. Whereas previously his first response would have been a very concerned 'are you alright?', now he'd evolved into half-hearted admonishments. His view of the Hylian champion had changed, to be certain, but not necessarily in a bad way. He had just taken his friend down off the pedestal he'd held him on previous and perceived previously unseen flaws. It was endearing in its own special way.]

Honestly, you could have hurt the pokemon. [A gloved hand was offered to the smaller man to pull him back to firm footing.]

Action

[timelesschampion]

[It really confused Link the way Sidon had treated him initially. Why did the other act like he was so..untouchable? So flawless.

Because even Link knows he isn't. He's full of flaw. Lost memories being one of them.

His look is a rather sheepish one as he takes the offered hand, letting Sidon help him up and shifting the Spheal in his arm. Said little creature let's out a happy bark which is echoed by Pumpkin, who is already off and sliding across the ice again.]

[apexprince]

[Maybe it was the way his father had always spoken of the Hylian Champion and his sister's love for him. Well, regardless, that was the past. They were here now, and he was seeing the true face of the hero.

And his face... That sheepish smile spread a warm smile on the prince's face. Rather than be turned away by the man the idol had melted into, Sidon found himself enchanted.]

It's alright... But I don't have the healing powers my dear sister did. Just try to be careful.

[borschtkot]

Where is that? I'm a skater, I've been wanting to hit the ice since I came here!

[Text + Picture]

[timelesschampion]

[Link manages to take a screencapture of the map he's been using, highlighting where they are before sending it to Yuri.]

We're here. It's called the Icefall Cave. It's on Four Island!

[text]

[borschtkot]

Oh wow... I think tha'ts probably pretty far. I'll try though, thanks!

[video] Pimpkaboo

[seeingeyesteward]

[The Pumpkaboo floats in the frame, then gives a thumbs up with his stem.]

[video] Gem

[timelesschampion]

[Link doesn't seem to notice since Sidon is currently holding the 'gear but Gem does. The Carbink floats closer, letting out an echo-ing giggle.]

Glad you approve.

[video] [pimpin']

[seeingeyesteward]

[Pimpkaboo looked very pleased. why couldn't his trainer be this interesting? He wondered if he could get himself traded... Well, then he would no longer be a Pumpkaboo.

Things to think about...

And also he liked to torture this trainer.]

[charcoalfeather]

[Person down! Person down!]

Oh my! Are you alright?! [... and uh.] Where... are you?

[Video]

[timelesschampion]

[Link gives the 'gear a sheepish look before he's sliding over and taking it from Sidon so he can switch to text.]

I'm alright. We're all alright, actually!

We're in the Icefall Cave.

[Video]

[charcoalfeather]

[She takes a moment to stare at the message...]

...Oh. I remember being told about that place a long time ago! It's... usually very dangerous.

[As Link probably knows.]

[islandshore]

And that's why ice caves suck.

[It's said with a crooked smile and a whisper of a laugh. He's not trying to laugh at them, really, just... oof. He's had some rather unpleasant experiences slipping and falling on his face.]

Best advice I can give is to use a fire type to thaw the path. That is, unless you're dead-set on continuing... whatever it is you were doing.

[timelesschampion]

[Link snorts softly, giving the 'gear a lopsided grin.

The mention of using a fire type has Link perking up--only to deflate when he realizes something.

He doesn't have a fire type.

Looking a bit forlorn, Link gives Riku a helpless look as he shakes his head.

Not going to work.]

[islandshore]

...I take it that's a no.

[He brings a hand to his chin, tipping his head down.]

Got any fire type TMs? Pokemon with fire type moves?

[It's the next best alternative, at least...]
