If you follow them, they’ll lead you to a frozen lake. How cool is that?! First things first, Tuesday wouldn’t really call it a lake, it’s more like a really big pond. Second things second… It’s not really frozen, is it? Not completely, at least. Fog hangs over the dark waters, swirling ominously. Frost clings to every plant growing at the water’s edge, and here and there, ice even extends over the surface. The soil is damp, the trees are bare, no wind blows, and incredible cold seems to almost emanate from the inky pond. Some would call the place creepy, as seems to be the general consensus when it comes to these woods. Tuesday, though? Tuesday smiles as she looks down upon the water, standing on a rock in no more than shorts and a bikini top. <'Uhm… Are you sure? Like really really sure? That looks cold.'> Says the small white fox by her side, looking down upon the waters with uncertainty. *"It’s a polar bear plunge, Dante, that’s kinda the point.* Beartic plunge, actually. As a quick “polar bear pokemon” search had taught Tuesday. Polar bear with an ice beard. So original. You’re an ice type now, stop worrying so much." That’s the last thing she says to Dante before she jumps in.

Laguna • World Traveler Mythstar Posts: 469 Trainer Class: Player Name: Abigaelle Gauthier OOC Username: Magnere Arena Points: 0	Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top Post by Laguna on Oct 27, 2022 20:26:11 GMT 9 Laguna liked to come out here to the Misty Timberland a lot. It was fun to explore, finding all kinds of things that had been previously hidden by the mist. It was admittedly hard sometimes to even retrace her steps to escape, but it was definitely fun. Fighting her way out, or experiencing new sights, that's what life was really about. Just seeing what was out there and enjoying the sights. So when she saw Tuesday in the distance wearing nothing but shorts and a bikini top, she had to admit. She enjoyed the sight all right. Pausing to take a sip of her cold bottle of water, she mentally squashed any thoughts to make any verbal comments about it. It wasn't as if she was wearing all that much more, really. She had been showing off her thighs since day one. It would just be silly to comment on it. Besides, it was a video game. Who wouldn't want to play as a pretty girl? Finally stepping out through the fog and into the small clearing by the lake, she began to wave to try and get the attention of a friendly face. Just in time to see Tuesday jump straight into the freezing cold water. Even she couldn't help but wince at the idea, and yet her laughter was immediately heard as she couldn't stop herself from giggling. "Pretty nice day for a swim, ain't it?" She was alone for now, her Pokemon still at home in their Pokeballs. Despite having Poke-speed disabled, that didn't stop her from quickly glancing over to it and giving it a wide, gentle smile before returning her attention to it's trainer. "Just a normal day at the frozen lake beach? What's the occasion?"

The moment Tuesday dives, it’s as if thousands upon thousands of miniscule icicles meet her skin – prickling. Her hands feel like they’re on fire with every movement (it’s not nearly as enjoyable as back when she was a Kindler), so do her feet. But then, as the avatar’s body begins to acclimate to the water’s temperature, there’s a sudden rush that overtakes over all other feelings… When the blonde returns to the surface, she does so with a shout that reverberates through the woods, her expression being illuminated by the most radiant grin possible. She’s beaming, and soon enough, the melodious sound of her laughter joins that of Laguna’s. "Hey! Not much. Felt like doing a Polar Bear Plunge, but it doesn’t get nearly cold enough where I live. Figured I might as well just do it in game." Hands run through wet hair… and wet cat ears as well. It’s then that her gaze falls upon the Vulpix that still has a worried expression on his face. She swims towards him, closer to the edge, but instead of reaching for him, she grabs a snowball and tosses it at his face. <'Whaaa!'> Dante shakes off the snow, and Tuesday chuckles. "See? It’s fine! Stop looking so worried." She smirks, leaning back to end up swimming on her back. "Wanna get in?" She’s talking to both Laguna and the Vulpix.

Oh, what she wouldn't give to be able to do that in real life, though swimming wasn't exactly something she could do with ease anymore. So the idea of doing it in the game felt like a fantastic one to her. Sure, as a Freezer, she wouldn't feel the true rush of the chill, but there was no reason to turn it down. She casually equips her swimsuit from her inventory, the blue one-piece swimsuit suddenly replacing the attire she wore before. "As if I'd turn down a chance like this! Man, I used to do this all the time when I was younger." The statement might imply she was much older than she looked, but really Laguna only meant when she was a teenager. She'd kick her feet back, her bare feet suddenly sliding over to the water's edge before she stopped herself. Rather than jump straight in, Laguna just casually slid down into the ice-cold waters, sighing happily as she sank in. The freezing waters were still insanely cold, but her body was simply much more adept at handling it and it felt absolutely lovely. Dipping briefly under the water to soak her hair, she popped back up and pushed it all back, a happy laugh spilling out. Taking a glimpse over at her swimming partner, a faint memory dawned on her. "... Hey, haven't we met before? And I don't mean like, at some Raid or other big event where everyone is, I'm pretty sure we've met somewhere else. Like, did we catch a Pokemon together or something?"
