goldenglasses | [Action//Accidental Voice]

[Today Vash was out enjoying the snowfall. He hit the usual places, the flower shop, the bakery, Good Spirits for a drink. He did a little people watching near the fountain before finally hitting the item shop. Where he found a pair of skates that just happened to be his size.

He thought it over for a bit, then decided: what else did he have to do today? So off he went towards the nearest lake and strapped the ice skates on. Only he found out fairly quickly that ice skates don't work so well when the ice is covered in snow.

So after putting his boots back on, another trip back to the item shop, he returns with a shovel and clears an area. Alright! He can do this! He puts the ice skates back on, stands up, and-

-promptly falls over.]

WHAAAAAAAAAA! [Over and over again. He'll slowly start to get the hang of it, but feel free to come and laugh or help him until that point. At one point his journal will even fall out of his pocket. So feel free to also point and laugh at him from the comfort of your own, warm home!]

Yiyiayiyiaia Ow. That really hurt.

There's different kinds?

[ He blinked his eyes. ]

Of course there are or rather in normal situations there would be different kinds of ice skates to try.

I thought they were just shoes with blades on them.

No, no. While I'm no expert in the field of ice skating, I believe that skates do come in different brands and designs.

Maybe the skates you're using now aren't made for someone of your height or weight.

They fit my feet! [He thought that was all there was too it!]

[ Not quite, Vash. Not quite. ] Oh? But do they support your feet?

Uh... I think so? I can sometimes stand up in them. The blade hasn't broken yet!

Really now? Then maybe it is just your lack of skill then...

...but you said I can get better at that, right?

[ He nods. ] Yes. In time you'll overcome the steep learning curve, I'm sure of that.

...steep learning curve, huh?

Well, yes. However, I doubt it will be too difficult...

Do you use the word steep for everyone who begins to learn ice skating... or just me?

I didn't mean to offend you! It's just that your not very...good.

SO YOU DO THINK IT'S JUST ME AND I'M NEVER GOING TO LEARN HOW TO ICE SKATE! IT JUST LOOKED LIKE FUN AND I THOUGHT I COULD GIVE IT A TRY! IT'S A LOT HARDER THAN IT LOOK YOU KNOW!

No, no, no, no! I did not mean that! I was just saying might be a little difficult for you to achieve your goal! Not that it's impossible--

But more difficult than most people is what you're saying, right?

No, not at all! I was just...well, trying to give advice.

By telling me I have a long ways to go? You're not very good at this are you?

[ A nervous chuckle came from him. ]

...My apologies, sir.

[Vash sighs with a laugh.] It's alright, I do kinda suck!

No! You shouldn't say that about yourself. That's so mean.

[Ignoring that bit. He's moved on and not caring about insulting himself anymore.]

So, there's a different types of skates. I wonder if there's a beginner style.

[ He notices that but decides to let it go over his head. ]

I wonder that as well but admittedly I know nothing about most recreational activities.

You seem to know more about this at least than me. Don't get out too much to relax and exercise?
