[ "It'd be interesting to really see it," she said. "I can gather a bunch for when my body's passionate fire flares up," she said. "You are going to follow me and like it," she said.

Out of those three phrases Saber had stated before venturing into the Ice Path, only one doesn't leave her with a feeling of regret as she skitters on ice.

The video is coming in live, carried by someone some distance behind the red-clad emperor. Said emperor is picking her way on the ice, but is finding that golden boots do not offer great traction of any kind on ice. A near slip has her curse. ]

Grrr! What is with this infernal place! What is with these formations? [ She punches a stalagmite of ice in frustration. ] Who places such a thing here?!

That would be the guy that created this place, your honor.

[Said with sarcasm by the male behind the camera as it wobbled a bit as the male tried to keep his balance-]

And there's a reason you slide to those footing, unless your great mind didn't simply think of it in the first place-

Silence, knave! [ Slip. ] You realize your fate is crossed with mine by the rope in my hand!

[ Indeed, once she stops flailing her arms a bit, there's a thin cord in one hand that follows all the way up to the Gear's line of vision. ]

Yeah, I heard you the first time, ye of unsuitable clothes.

[Doesn't mean he has to enjoy these kinds of things, to be honest. The feed wobbled a bit as he slowly made it there.]

Just, wait a damn second, alright?

[So they can get through this without falling all over themselves.]

What-- you would dare mock my clothing? You spit on my taste! Truly, you do not understand the scope of your situation when I called upon you to become my servant. Get over here!

[ Unfortunately for Shinn and his tact (or lack thereof), his words only cause Saber to turn around and yank the cord. This lurches Shinn and the Gear towards her--

Smack!

She's almost easily toppled over by his larger frame, but in the midst of the screaming and flailing, she had pushed him off... and only succeeds in having her body slide to a stalagmite--

Thud!

And she's still holding onto the rope, by the way. Even as she's collided with the ice and falls. ]

That's because you're flashing those in a place where no one could see the-!?

[Naturally, as they tumbled through the ice path via slip and sliding, the only thing you could see is the camera being thrown around as the wielder tried to get his bearing after the shorter woman got out of his grips and into the stalagmite.

...And the fact that she's still holding the cord meant that like a magnet, he's going to be drawn towards her-

At least he has the tact to actually grab the stalagmite instead of her boobs for support???]

Rraaagh! This place is making a mockery of me! [ Her face is red and flustered from the total embarrassment of it all. So what's her dignified response? Shove Shinn off of her, reach for a pokeball, and out comes a confused looking Charizard. ]

Aestus! Roast this cavern! Set it all ablaze that it remains a river than a gods' forsaken vo--

[ She takes a step in her tirade, and promptly trips and slides, cursing in latin. The Charizard looks even more confused and surprised before, uh... setting to work. He also nods to Shinn holding the camera, and thus, the feed cuts. ]

[ OOC: Shinn's voice. Saber has just discovered the Ice Path on her conquest for badges but seriously who puts those conveniently placed rocks to slide into? They must hurt. ]

...So, how's the melting going?

[He kinda doubts the Ice Path would completely melts.]

[Audio]

[autocratic]

[ Because no, you will not see what her face looks like after meeting ice. ]

Parts are easily burned to steam, but the temperature is so cold in here, they freeze up almost immediately!

[ There is the sound of sizzling and fire roaring. ]

It is starting to feel like a sauna. Somewhat.

[ Not sure if pleased or. ]

[Video]

[impulsives]

Painfully.

[he's bruised all over the place, man.]

[video]

[soggypastry]

[Ah, the Ice Path. She has...fond memories of that place, for more than one reason, but really...really?!]

You two do know you could have flown over the place, right? It's not that easy to miss the cities on either end of it.

[audio]

[autocratic]

Do you truly think we did not come by that way initially? I simply wanted to take a visit before seizing my victory from the Gym leader!

[ Roaring and sizzling sounds in the background. ]

[video]

[impulsives]

That would imply the woman actually had some modicum of sense.

[no he's still really sore over this.]

[viiru2alert]

[Sollux was cackling all throughout this transmission, but fortunately for Saber, only turned the video feed on after he was done.]

I think you're gonna have a horde of angry Ice-types going after your Charizard, Saber.

[autocratic]

Then let them call! Aestus will burn them all to steam and we shall see who has the last laugh!

[ Metaphorically speaking, of course. ]

[impulsives]

Well, at least this would be just another training session for me.

[full of chase scenes, pain, and more pain.]

[video]

[paladinlost]

...Were the two of you truly so desperate to catch Ice-types? There are lovely caves for that purpose in Kanto, you know.

[This would be a very innocent question, if Cecil wasn't obviously failing at holding back his laughter. Ah, Ice Cave, all those memories...]

[video]

[autocratic]

Bah, as if any of these creatures would fit the mold of what I desire from a beautiful and powerful team. [ Anymore. ]

[video]

[impulsives]

She's just a tad bit obsessed with tourist spots, that's what.

[video]

[enjoymyatelier]

[...he will take a moment to note this down for future reference, and then...]

...have you considered using cleats, or anything of that sort? That place just seems ludicrous.

[audio]

[autocratic]

[ Because, baaaw, face still smarting. ]

"Cleats"? Are they a form of shoes?

[video]

[impulsives]

If she has, we wouldn't really be here right now.

[and sliding all over the damn place.]

[video]

[usedencore]

Punching the ice probably only made it angrier.

[Says Envy with complete seriousness.]

You know if it's something like that, it's probably a test of your brains and not your brawn, blondie.

[audio]

[autocratic]

Are you insinuating that I am stupid? What gall! I will have you know my mind is filled with far more information than the average person could ever hope to muster in a single lifetime!

[ Still leaves holes for more... contemporary common sense, tho'. ]

[video]

[impulsives]

That's because her brains are made up of air.

[which also fills up her you know what.]

[video]

[autocratic]

[ We interrupt your attempts to converse with Shinn by a certain emperor suddenly punching him in the face and out of the screen. ]

[action]

[impulsives]

We could've gone and challenged Clair, but no, you had to be a stubborn emperor about this.

[he muttered as the Charizard continued roasting the path while he nursed his own wounds.

seriously, this was not how he intended his day to be like.]

[action]

[autocratic]

[ Have a burst of flame blow its way toward you, Shinn. The Charizard just snorts in annoyance while Saber rubs her nose, unaware. ]

No land within Johto will escape my eyes before I leave. To know of the true face of the Ice Path fulfills my quota on knowledge of the land I supervise!

[vidoe]

[idlewanderlust]

Oh? Was that Shinn-kun's voice? ... I could have sworn he was traveling through Kanto... I suppose he must have given it the slip...

[video]

[impulsives]

...slip's one word for it I guess.

[UNINTENTIONAL PUNS ASIDE...]

I mean, she kinda came and dragged me away after a cup of tea.

[Voice]

[fervour]

Be careful, miss!!

[Voice]

[impulsives]

Don't worry, her head's too blank for her to get a cold.

[beat.]

And pretty sure her head is harder than ice.

[ex_cashcow493]

[ She wonders if the sign is still there... Oh, right, shouldn't she say something to the two? ]

You both make a good team together. [ Not exactly the best thing to say OOPS. ]

video;

[impulsives]

Team's not exactly the first word that sprung to mind when I think of both of us.
