FOURTH WALL EVENT [VIDEO/ACTION IN ICE PATH]

[tarotcards]

[ Oh sup, network? How you doin'? Hopefully good and got a barf bag around because hey look, Souji's video is SPINNING ALL OVER THE PLACE AND SLIDING AND OH MY FUCK, WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS FEED ]

[ Doesn't this kind of video post seem very familiar to two other videos from the past year? It sure does seem to start the same way: camera swinging everywhere, Souji doing some verbal keysmashing, flailing for a minute, then finally crashing into a wall where the gear drops down to show a very familiar ice cave. That's right, folks. It's that itme of the year where this protag is thrown into the Ice Path of misfortune! Oh goodie! ]

[ After making sure he hasn't broken his nose from slipping and sliding everywhere on the ice then crashing into a wall, Souji stands up, keeping himself steady by holding onto the wall. Good thing he's wearing his winter jacket. Might be the only good thing around here. Oh wait, let's check what kind of Pokemon he has on him. He doubts that he has his actual team here since the last previous visits, he got a completely different party but maybe it's something nice. The first time, he got a team full of Magikarps. The second time, he got Bidoofs. Third time's the charm so let's see this awesome team of his!! ]


[ ...the fuck is this-- ]

[ Why does he even try to believe Johto can do something kind for him just once? It's like winning the lottery for this place to play nice. God, this sucks. He lets out a frustrated sigh, shoving his bare hands into his pockets. ]

I don't think these fish-things can get me out of here, so I should probably get a move on. If anyone can lend a hand and fly me back to Goldenrod's Breeding Centre, I'll greatly appreciate it. It seems like I'm just attracted to this place or something. Three times is ridiculous.

[ Help Souji. He can't get over to that rocky path and off this ice properly without slipping. Stupid Stunfisk, they aren't even helping him!! ]

I can give you a ride, Souji.

[tarotcards]

That'll be great. I don't want everyone to worry about me again.

[ Because that was a mess... ]

[flawlesspoison.livejournal.com]

[Fancy meeting you here Souji. Yeah, he's supposed to be at Mahogany town, but what do you know. He'll sliiide over to your direction.]

Souji? You're her--

[.... and Shiraishi meets the wall. Yep. No luck here. First the shadow, not this. Why.] Ugh.

[Hopefully Johto will be kind enough to send him back before he hurts himself badly (spoilers: it'snot)]

[tarotcards]

[ Ice Path: the cause of 98% of Johto's residents slamming into walls. ]

[ cue face in icon. ] Hey, are you alright?

[Action]

[junesmascot.livejournal.com]

[What is that flailing frog (?) person over there]

Aw, geez! It's cold!

[Action]

[tarotcards]

[ Now, that frog suit thing looks familiar... Just carefully sliding over there, keeping his arms outstretched to keep his balance. ]

...Yosuke?

video.

[reveiller]

[ deja... vu... ]

... at this rate, we're going to have to rename those caves, aren't we.

Though to be fair, 'The Path of Souji' does sound a whole lot classier.

video.

[tarotcards]

I rather have it as 'The Path without Souji forever'. I think I've memorized the path of these caves by now.

[ahokonakamori.livejournal.com]

.....Souji-kun? What are those?

[tarotcards]

[ Oh, they're just roadkill shaped into fishes-- WAIT, THAT VOICE ]

--Aoko?

[Video]

[isahero]

[Well, if there's any fail here, he has some too. Being in a Chicken Suit and all. Though, he does try and follow the spinning by making his head move in circles with it. It is rather dizzying though.]

I don't have a Pokemon that can do that, is there one there that I can send for you?

[He does laugh a little though, as those are some funny looking Pokemon.]

[Video]

[tarotcards]

[ Uhhhhhh... what is that suit... There's a short pause before Souji answers. ]

Yeah, all my Pokemon should be still at the Breeding Centre. My Charizard should have the Fly HM. [ a beat. ] What's with the suit?

action??? how does this work

[foggiestidea]

Hahahahahahaha! Look at you, you can't even walk!

[Hey there, Souji boy, guess who it is! And guess who's got an actual competent pokemon with him? Adachi's standing on the path, just watching the little wonder boy struggle to get up, and having a pretty good time of it too. Souji might also notice the Rocket uniform the man is wearing, but that's not important right now. Adachi himself doesn't even really know what to make of it. But he can bluff! And that's what he's doing right now. That and laughing his ass off at Mr. Magic Dick's sudden failing.]

action; works just like that!!

[tarotcards]

[ Don't be a douche just because you're jealous of Mr. Magic Dick's dick-- ]

[ But as soon as Souji stands up properly, holding onto the wall for support, he sends Adachi a harsh look. That Rocket uniform isn't gaining any points either, concerning how he has gone on the raid to their headquarters a few weeks ago and how the Rockets went to hijack a train two weeks ago, almost bombing it. ] What are you doing back here?

[Action]

[fastestwheels.livejournal.com]

[Souji isn't the only person with strangely silver hair around the Ice Path today! For some odd reason there is a young girl in a wheelchair stuck in the middle of all of the ice and looking reasonably distressed, for obvious reasons.]

Wh-what is this-?

[Action]

[tarotcards]

[ It doesn't take Souji very long to notice that young lady in the wheelchair since this part of the cave is mostly ice. He will carefully slide over there right now. ]

Need some help?

[video]

[treasurejustice.livejournal.com]

Um, I'll try to do what I can. Where are you?

[Getting used to the Pokemon by now.]

[video]

[tarotcards]

The Ice Path. I think I've remembered how to get out of here though.

[ He just needs some way back to Goldenrod. ]

[action]

[nicepartner.livejournal.com]

... Stunfisk, huh? [Ash isn't helping at all, sorry, Souji!]

[action]

[tarotcards]

Is that what they're called? I've never seen them before.

[ Taking a look to them just... flopping around. ]

[old-saint-nic.livejournal.com]

[tarotcards]

[ ...Santa, what are you-- ]

You're a few weeks early, Santa. [ And last time, you were a few months too late. Gosh, get the times right. ]

[cynicizing.livejournal.com]

... No comment, dude. No comment.

[tarotcards]

[ Just... facepalm. ]

Do you think you can do me a favour and send me one of my Pokemon over here?

[usedgrowl.livejournal.com]

[ well doesn't this face look familiar, the outfit not so much. kagami's dressed up in a certain cheerleading outfit (http://i.imgur.com/WYOmD.jpg) which would be all fine and dandy if it wasn't for the fact she's in an ice cave ]

... Aw, not this again.

action

[tarotcards]

[ oh my stars, Kagami. ;A; SOUJI HAS MISSED YOU GREATLY. SLIDING OVER THERE RIGHT NOW. ]

Kagami, when have you arrived back? [ Taking off his jacket right now to put over her. Don't worry, he's wearing a sweater underneath so it's cool. ]

[ video ]

[basketballin.livejournal.com]

... Dude, why do you have a team of pancakes?

[ video ]

[tarotcards]

[ --Kou! Oh hey, Souji has never seen him in before in Johto. He's pretty happy about this. ]

I have no idea, but hey, when have you arrived in Johto?

[ece-emrys.livejournal.com]

[There's a familiar-looking boy slipping and sliding his way over to Souji.]

W-where am I?

[tarotcards]

[ Huh, that kid does look familiar, but Souji doesn't think too much about it. ]

Johto. It's a bit like the Pokemon video games, if you've ever played them.

[suzakufeather]

[Luckily there was no magical spinning camera for Yukiko, however, she is spinning around on her own anyway for a moment as she suddenly ends up at the Ice Path as well.]

Ah-!

[It's all very un-Yukiko, then again, she's never really ended up on an Ice Path before. Not to mention ice being a weakness and all, it's never going to end well. She hasn't found the Pokemon she seems to have gained yet either, which is a shame, really. As there's probably some in there that might help-]

[Action]

[tarotcards]

[ Souji is just trying to carefully slide his way back to the dirt path when oh snap, spinning person that has a very familiar uniform on! Wait, hold on!! Leader to the rescue and trying to slide there asap to catch her from crashing into a wall. ]

[ spoilers: might end up with Souji slipping on the ice while trying to stop Yukiko. ]

video;

[skillspanner]

Again? [What the hell else is he even supposed to say at this point?] Dammit, what is with this place sometimes!?

video;

[tarotcards]

No idea, but I don't plan on staying here for very long like the last two times. I should be able to find the exit in about thirty minutes.

[teenysuke.livejournal.com]

S-Souji onii-san? [Here you go - remember this guy? Well, he's just as cold and lost as before, though he's not looking nearly as terrified.]

[tarotcards]

[ Oh, Kid!Yosuke! Souji totally remembers you. He's just going to slide over there slowly, keeping his arms outstretched to maintain his balance. Once he gets over three, he kneels down and takes off his jacket, putting it over Yosuke. He has a sweater underneath so it's okay. ]

Hey kiddo. Let's try to get you out of here again, just like last time, alright? [ Here's a small reassuring smile. ]

[orphean]

[Boy, is Minako glad she's in her winter attire right now, or this would really suck. She's surprisingly unfazed by being in a cold dark cave with a guy who's got a silver bowl cut. Actually, there's only one thing she really wonders.]

Do you think they're edible?

[tarotcards]

[ wait what... Souji turns over to Minako with a surprised look of "why would you even ask that" but then a thoughtful one. ]

I'm not too sure. I've never attempted eating Pokemon, but I haven't heard of anyone actually succeeding in doing so.

[stardustmirage.livejournal.com]

[Yuusei has absolutely no idea how in the world he came to this place. One moment he was fighting to save his hometown from an incoming doom, and the next thing he knew... he was in a cave covered with ice. That's never happened before. It shouldn't happen at all.

... And yet, he doesn't seem surprised or annoyed or... anything of sorts, really. But that's mostly because he rarely lets his emotion take over. Instead, he takes his time studying an odd creature (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Klink_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29) that has been following him ever since he got here...

But then he hears some noise and sets out to find its source. If he were to guess, it must be someone who had trouble with moving on the ice... Turns out he wasn't wrong.]

Hey, are you okay?

[action]

[tarotcards]

[ Souji rubs his nose, making sure it's not broken or anything. He turns over to Yuusei's direction, keeping his hand over his nose still. ]

Yeah, I don't think anything is broken.

[Hey, doesn't that woman over there look a little familiar as she shrieks and spins?]
