FOURTH WALL EVENT [VIDEO/ACTION IN ICE PATH]

[tarotcards]

[ Hey guys, it's been a while, hasn't it? I'm sure you've all missed just looking into the network and finding a video feed of the camera waving ALL OVER THE PLACE, OH MY GOD, WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN, FUCK YOOOOOOOOOOOU, JOHTO. ]

[ So, as according to tradition, most people can easily figure who this video feed belongs to and what's going. To the new people, just take a look at Souji sliding all around the ice floor and making a verbal keysmash as he attempts not to fall on his face and break his nose. Well, too bad for him, he does finally slip and manage to fall right down onto his face, the gear slipping out of his hands and sliding away. Ughhhhh, god, he hates the Ice Path so much. ]

[ He slowly sits himself up, pressing one hand up to his nose, making sure it's not broken and checking if it's bleeding. Thankfully, it's not, but it still hurts like hell. It's also freezing cold in this Ice Path, but at least he's somewhat prepared, by wearing four shirts. ]

[ Now, you might be asking yourself "why is this bowlcut dude wearing four shirts and why did he pop every single collar?" Well, you should be asking yourself "why the fuck not?" To keep a long story short, Souji does not turn down bets!! ]

[ He slides himself towards his gear, picking it up and sighing in relief when he finds that it's still working. The last thing he needs is for to be broken. He's already on his third Pokegear so he does not need to get another (unsure) look when he asks for a new one. ]

Y'know, I'm starting to believe that this Ice Path has an attraction to me. This is the fourth time I've been teleported here, you'd think they'll get tired of me slipping around. Might as well rename it Souji Path...

[ Alright alright, enough joking around. Time to get out of here, but let's check his new Pokemon team. He got pretty crappy Pokemon for the last three times, so he has to get something neat this time, right? ]



[ Oh hey, Woopers! Those are actually kinda good. Souji sells Wooper eggs at the Breeding Centre and he knows their moves, so guess Johto was nice to him for once. ]

[ He slowly stands up and makes his way to his new team. They all stare up at him with their dopey smiles, and he just returns it, outstretching a hand to them. ]

Hey there, think you can help me out of her--

[ And guess what? Outstretching a hand to Woopers is always a bad idea because then they bite down onto your hand and try to eat it. ]

[ brb, protag flailing and waving his arm all around to get three Woopers to let go of his hand. ]

Comments

[video]

[impulsives]

...Again?

[Okay no he doesn't really know Souji that well back during those times but he definitely knows of his attraction to the Ice Path.]

[video]

[tarotcards]

[ So, after peeling away those Woopers from his hand and making sure they don't eat him, here's a reply!! ]

I didn't choose this...

action o hai

[dragonspeak]

[You'll be hearing a stifled laugh from behind you, bro.]

How do you always get yourself into these messes?

action /STAPLES YOU HERE

[tarotcards]

[ Oh okay, thanks for laughing at Souji's pain, Merlin-- WAIT, MERLIN, WHAT THE FUCK, WHEN DID YOU GET BACK ]

I'm a magnet, I guess, but can you lend a hand here?

[ Teary reunion later, getting Woopers off his hand first. ]

Video

[origamikiller]

[Whoa what when did Patti get here? Still, she's laughing her ass off at the sight of Souji flailing around.]

Kya ha ha ha ha!!

Video

[tarotcards]

[ Oh no, Souji remembers you as that one girl that was talking about moons long ago, when he first arrived. Cue less flailing around and just tugging at the Woopers with a :| face. ]

I'm glad that you find this amusing, at least.

[yumadbro]

[Dude, seriously? You're sliding around all over the place like Yosuke in a trashcan? Use your brain.]

Pyro Jack--!

[Literally.]

[While Souji's busy prying off a team of Woopers, his counterpart would just be melting himself a safe path though wherever the hell this was.]

[tarotcards]

[ Hey, you're not the one with three blue things trying to eat your hand like it's breakfast. So, while Souji's over here in complete shock of another... well, him, remember those other three Woopers? Yup, just going to start eating on Yu's leg and they have one hell of a bite... ]

Action!!

[bamfsecretary]

{Wow this Victorian lady looks really familiar.}

{She's also laughing a little.}

Ah, you seem to be having a little trouble there.

Action!!

[tarotcards]

[ Why does everyone seem to find Souji's pain amusing? He just lowers his hand and turns with a sigh. ]

Yeah, these three seem to think my hand's a meal.

[skillspanner]

He-hey...! Come on. Dammit, it's way too cold for you to-- WAAAAAAAAAAGH!?

[Do you hear that sound, Souji? It's coming from just around the bend in the cave. He's not sure why he's being accosted by a Lickitung though.]

[...But that definitely means one thing. And it's a horrible sudden realization.]

The Ice Path? Then--

[The Ice Path is always where Souji -- and if he's here -- then...!]

[Except that there's a Lickitung preventing him from moving and that's just making him flail about kind of uselessly. Partner, help...]

[tarotcards]

[ Wait, stop. He knows that voice and that flailing scream. It's been months since Yosuke's leave and just this timing... Forget trying to get these Woopers off, he needs to see if it's really him and if he remembers about this place, about them. ]

[ He slides over to ground land, finding it rather difficulty to balance with three Woopers on one hand, but he manages through and quickly manages to find his way over. ]

--Yosuke!!

[bearclaw]

[ well, someone sure is sliding up to souji with some difficulty. actually--doesn't this bear suit look familiar? along with this face of sheer panic? these waving arms? the aggravating, slightly breaking-the-sound-barrier tone of: ]

S-S-ssssseeeennnseeeeeiiiiiii!! Achoo!

[ -- no, didn't think so. well, whether souji's prepared or not, teddie had done the first thing he always did when ending up in a whole new (old) land. and that was... well, forget about everything the moment he saw souji having a little trouble!

and that's why, in his rush to help souji from thos Dastardly Woopers™, he's on track to crash into all of them and probably make this entire thing worse.

Love you, Souji! ]

WATCH OUT-- [ another sneeze. ] BEAR COMING THROUGH!

[tarotcards]

[ ohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgod ]

Wait, Teddie, sto--!!

[ Putting out his hands in front of him to stop Teddie from crashing into him, but as they're on ice... he just slips backwards and lands right on his back. Just leave him here to die. Don't even try to pick him up. He's done. ]

[ good night, sweet prince ]

[Action]

[icetoseeyou]

[Surprise, Souji. There happens to be a highly amused Batman villain hanging out in the Ice Path today.]

The Souji Path? Why ruin such a cool name by changing it to something like that?

[Action]

[tarotcards]

[ Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger?! What are you doing in my Pokeymans ]

It was a joke. I really don't want this place named after me.

[ After all the misery he's been put through here... ]

[restardom]

[ don't worry, Souji!!

There is a...

... flailing pigtailed idol careening your way. ]

Senpaiiiiiiiiiii!!

[tarotcards]

[ Don't forget about those other three Woopers on the floor, blocking Rise's sliding path... ]

Rise, careful!

[action]

[craftingrebel]

[señor. don't mind him, he's just... slipping right by you.

THIS IS SORT OF FAMILIAR ISN'T IT SOUJI? at least he's not half naked. and less shadowy. yep.]

[action]

[tarotcards]

[ THIS SENSE OF DEJA-VU... but sup, Kanji. Souji's just completely forgetting about the Woopers on his hand for a few seconds to watch him slide by. ]

Kanji...?

[ Don't crash into a wall like your Shadow did, bro... ]

action; 1/2

[backtobasics]

[Sudden return to Johto. To Ice Path. Why? He had had enough of this place alrady.

... but at least he wasn't alone.]

Souji--

action;

[backtobasics]

[Woopers... bitig...]

Are you alright?

action; straight from the bad end-

[foggydetective]

[Damn it. Where the heck was he? He'd just won against those damn kids. They never found out who it was and he could just continue doing whatever he wanted... and here he was in another Nowheresville.

... and in a cave, too.

Though he didn't seem to be alone. Acting face on.]

Oh, Seta-san! Where are we?

[And what are those things biting your hand...]

action;

[tarotcards]

[ Of all people to show up... Souji will flip a table because he really doesn't like dealing with Adachi, especially from a time where he hasn't been caught yet. It just sets him off, knowing that someone he has once easily said hello to and let into the house is the murderer the team has been chasing all alone, and that Adachi puts on a friendly guy act. He won't get flared up though, that's asking for trouble, so he'll keep his cool. ]

A cave called the Ice Path. You've been here once before, last year.

[ Though it's obvious that Adachi doesn't remember. It does seem like the people that arrive on these days, the days where everyone gets transported around, they don't last for long. Souji's whole memory of the last three times this happened is rather blurry, but he can remember this much at least. ]

[thislifeofmine]

[And, out of nowhere, there's a bit of laughing. Yumi is totally prepared for Ice Path shenanigans! She's got a jacket on, at least.

...and instead of having one Mr. Mime, she has six. They've pretty much built a small ice palace to live in over here, yup.]

Well, I guess some things never change. You're always the popular one, aren't you?

[tarotcards]

[ Cue his stop to waving his arm around once he realizes that someone else is here, and oh dang, Yumi. How long have you been there? But Souji returns the smile, despite that his hand really hurts. ]

Trust me, I rather not be popular with the Woopers. They don't seem to like me very much.

[ Shaking his hand a bit more, trying to get them to loosen their bite. ]

action; hello there souji-kuuuun

[suzakufeather]

[Oh!!! Well, this is a change of scenery. The last thing Yukiko remembers if being home but it's definitely welcomed when she sees Souji nearly---

though that looks painful.]

Souji-kun! [A short, startled gasp follows as she tries to make her way over to help him... only to start slipping and sliding on the ice as well. Damn.]

action; yuki-chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan ♥♥♥

[tarotcards]

[ Wow, so graceful, Yukiko. All the boys and Chie will surely be swooning over you now. ]

Yukik--!!

[ And in Souji's attempt to grab Yukiko and completely missing, he slips... and falls on his face again... at least the Woopers finally let go in attempt of not being slammed to the ground... ]

ACTION FOREVER~ ♥

[lovechronicle]

[H-HEY! W-WHAT?! ... She wasn't anywhere near Ic-- Ah, but this is... JOHTO?!!! Wow, just ...WOW! Hello pokemon world, it's been years since she left this place, in her timeline anyways.

Hey there, think you can help me out of her-- EHHH? The girl turns around. Oh, he wasn't really talking to h--. She recognizes him immediately, so give her a moment to just stand there and S T A R E.]

...Souji...

[Was this all just a dream? Oh, he was in trouble!]

Ah, hey little ones, could you let his hand go?

[...Hey, guess what? She's about to outstretch her hand to them too! Well, Souji, that be might helpful for you anyway!]

♥♥♥!!

[tarotcards]

[ Oh man, Mitsuki. It's been a long while!! But this is no time for a reunion because lil sis, what are you doing? Why are you outstretching your hand? That's a really bad idea. All three of the Woopers are taking a look at the outstretched hand, their eyes darting back and forth from her hand to the one they're eating now. It's quite obvious to figure out what they're thinking and Souji already begins to try and get his hand as far away from Mitsuki's but too late... They quickly let go of Souji's hand and bites down onto Mitsuki's. OM NOM NOM NOM ]

action;

[sketchythief]

[Oh hey there. He sees a familiar tall guy with that bowlcut--dude how many years has it been and why is it still a bowlcut--I mean.

He slides, but he doesn't have the ice skating powers to exactly maneuver himself really well on the ice. ALWAYS MENTALLY CRYING...]

Souji! Um... try relaxing your hand? [Dude why are there three Woopers did you try to feed them or something]

action;

[tarotcards]

[ okay, don't be hating on the bowlcut, okay? At least he doesn't have hair fit for a bird's nest. ]

[ But Souji takes that advice and does so. It... doesn't seem to do anything but let the Woopers know that their prey is giving up and bite down harder!! SCREAM ]

I don't think it's working, Daisuke.

[ Owowowowowowow, oh god, goodbye hand. ]

[action]

[usedgalacticpunt]

[Hey guise, who has two thumbs and Null Ice? This girl. The temperature isn't fazing Chie one bit. The location? That's a bit more worrying.]

What in the heck... This's the Ice Path, isn't it? That means... [Yeah, she knows where this is going. She carefully makes her way through the caves until she finds...] Souji-kun. I shouldn't even be surprised, should I? A-Are you okay?

[action]

[tarotcards]

[ He looks down from his arm waving around in the air and oh man, Chie? He's super glad to see you again! It's been months and to see someone from the Investigation team again is great. However, he kinda wishes it wasn't in the Ice Path and that he was flailing around to get these Woopers off... ]

I don't think anyone would be surprised at this point anymore. [ Fourth time, man... even Souji's not surprised and he's the one that's moving around. ] Think you can lend me a hand and pull these three off?

[Action]

[oldforhisage]

[There is a man who is slightly familiar nearby! Or at least, as nearby as one can be while slip-sliding into a wall.]

Ahahahahahahahahahahaha-oof!

[Action]

[tarotcards]

[ Just watching this new(?) man slide by and crashing into a wall... well, that's something. Souji's just going to stand over here in his spot instead of sliding over since he'll probably crash into that wall as well. ]

Are you alright...?

action;

[calionburn]

[ All of this noise is sure to wake something nearby. In this case, it isn't a Pokemon but.. a Saber? ]

GAO!!!

[ Will a ~ferocious~ roar send the Woopers away?
If not, Saber Lion will instead choose to bite down on one. ]

action;

[tarotcards]

[ Oh Saber, his herorine to the rescu-- wait, when did Saber turn into a little lion... This day is just getting weider and weider, but Souji doesn't have any time to ask as the Wooper being biten just react by biting down even harder onto Souji's hand. ]

[ Insert cries of pain here because Ichi does not know how to type them out. ]

[ And remember those other three Woopers that chose not to bite Souji? Well, now they're jumping up to bite down onto Lion Saber, and Souji is shaking his hand even harder. What a mess... ]

[Action]

[usedrefresh]

[Matt's just sliding around on the ice, except he's actually not falling over everywhere; he's skating on that ice like a pro, except he's not really wearing ice skates so it's not legit skating, but whatever...

But hey, that kid with the Woopers on his hand over there looks really familiar!]

Souji? Is that you, dude?

[Action]

[tarotcards]

[ Give those sliding skills to Souji, bro. It'll help him a lot more since he's forced to the Ice Path twice a year. ]

[ He lowers his hand, using his other hand to hold onto his wrist as the three Woopers just limply dangle from his hand, their dopey smiles still remaining. ]

Engarde-san, when did you arrive back in Johto?

[action]

[when_turks_fly]

[ And there will be a Turk with a distaste for cold environments skidding towards a certain protagonist at high speeds with a Cyndaquil clinging to the top of her head for dear life. By 'clinging to the top of her head for dear life,' it's actually meant that the Cyndaquil is covering Valeria's eyes. How's your dodge skill, Souji? ]

Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

[action]

[legendoflove]

[never fear, young pimp! a hero in pink is here to save the day]

Hi there! Having some problems?

[a beat]

Aside from your wardrobe?
