Stitch Two [Audio] (Backdated to the 20th)

[topgun_textiles]

[The sound of howling winds is there at first, but it's hollow, joined by the white noise of ice striking walls of some sort. The voice that pipes up may be familiar to some, but it's shaky and weary, like someone had been out in the cold for far too long.]

Hey... h-hey, c-can anybody hear m-me? This damn thing better work...!

Wh-what happens when th-there's ice goin' up your b-bod-bod... [He needed time to shiver.] ...Body...?

How do ya stop it? We stopped f-f-fighting... s-s-so it should d-disappear, r-right?

[The voice quiets a moment, then lowers, speaking to another:]

A'right... It should s-s-send. I'll s-stick it on my d-damn p-persona if I need to! J-just hang in there, okay?



[ooc: Considering they're huddled up together, replies will be made by both, thus the tags.]

[Kanji what the hell are you doing and where are you?!]

K-Kanji-kun? [COUGH HACK.] W-What's goin-g-g on t-there?

[Audio]

[topgun_textiles]

[It was good to hear her- she sounded far worse and weaker while he was carrying her.]

H-holy shit, it worked...! Naoto, it worked! Uh-

I got l-lost. W-we found a place to stay f-for a bit, b-but w-we can't just l-live here. Does an-nybody back there have some k-kinda plan against this Windigo shit?!

[Audio]

[gigglesnortpriestess]

I don't k-know! Thorax-kun has b-been holding m-my scroll hostage!

[One could hear the "HEY!" in the background.]

I'm s-sure they have s-something planned!

[LOUD SNEEZE.]

[Audio]

[topgun_textiles]

Damn it, they better...!

[But he knew Yukiko's condition; he shouldn't take up too much of her time when she needed to rest and get better.]

S-senpai... d'you know anything about Windigo ice? Naoto's legs, they're...

[He needed to stop again, to calm down. If he was scared, she was scared. He needed to tough this out.]

There's ice. I-it keeps gettin' higher. I'm keepin' her warm the best I can, but it only slows it down!

[Audio]

[gigglesnortpriestess]

What?! Naoto-kun's hurt?!

[That caused her to have a severe coughing fit, so worried about the two out there in the cold like that.]

I...I don't know about them. I never heard of them until now.

[Audio]

[topgun_textiles]

Sh-she's fine! It's just... it's just the ice. Sh-she's c-cold.

[I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, he wanted to shout, but again he needed to try and keep his head.]

[Audio]

[gigglesnortpriestess]

I've never heard of ice that does that before...Hey Thorax-kun, do you know about the ice windigoes use?

You mean the story that caused almost all the ponies to die because they wouldn't stop arguing for one minute? Everypony here knows about it and that the ice can only melt from the Fires of Friendship.

[Did he get that?]

...was there a fight earlier?

[audio]

[strengthinkindness]

O-Oh no...Kanji...!

A-Are you...?

[audio]

[topgun_textiles]

Fluttershy! W-we're fine! S'just c-cold as hell out h-here...

But I need to keep my friend here from freezing. The ice is acting- acting strange. Can ya help me?

[audio]

[strengthinkindness]

[There was a small sigh, relieved that he was okay. The mention of his friend though has her worried all over again.]

O-Oh...H-Has your friend been frozen? Wh-What happened?

[audio]

[topgun_textiles]

My friend went out in the storm to look for me, but this weird crap in the air messed my head up bad. We... w-we fought, but I got snapped out of it.

Since we f-found a place to s-stay for now, w-we've noticed ice on their legs... it keeps goin' up. It's at the knees now... D-do ponies freeze solid?!

[audio]

[strengthinkindness]

O-Oh...i-it was the Windigoes...

It's...I-It's not...normal ice...the only way to reverse it is with the...the Fires of Friendship...we're trying to find a way to forge it, but...we haven't been able to yet...

[audio]

[topgun_textiles]

They need to pick up the damn pace! I-I thought seein' all that ice on everybody I pulled outta the snow was a little weird...

[Then, quietly:]

My friend's... th-they're scared, Fluttershy. There's gotta be somethin' I can do here...!

[audio]

[kingofthetvworld]

[It's one thing to hear one of your friends in distress, it's a whole other when ...something is implied.]

We? What the heck just happened?!

[audio]

[topgun_textiles]

Naoto's legs have this weird ice on 'em... I-I dunno how to make it go away! W-we're- we're huddled up together, b-but I can't warm 'er up fast enough...!

[audio]

[kingofthetvworld]

Hrnnnghhaaahh! I knew it!

[Of course it's Naoto, who else would it be?]

I know you wanted Nao-chan's attention, Kanji, but that is not how you go about getting it!

[audio]

[topgun_textiles]

Huh?! Wh-wh-what's atten-tention gotta do w-with anything!?

Sh-she was the one who f-found m-me!

[audio]

[kingofthetvworld]

Duh, and now she's covered in ice! How do you go from finding you to becoming a pony topsicle just like that?!

[audio]

[topgun_textiles]

H-how the hell should I kn-know!? I'm tryin' to reverse it, damn it!

[visual]

[polyturtle]

...Oh, You too, huh...

[audio]

[topgun_textiles]

...T-'too'?! S'it supposed to climb up real fast?

[visual]

[polyturtle]

I think so, given my own experience.

[Ta-da, back legs and tail frozen!]

I'm inside, though, which also seems to slow it down. Only if I'm calm, though. And not sniping.

[audio]

[topgun_textiles]

[Can't see it, but there's a wince and a worried moment.]

K-keep calm, you said? ...Shit, I guess w-we're freakin' out a bit...

[visual]

[polyturtle]

Yeah, seriously. You don't want this on--

[Shell, no, no, no, don't be a jerk. You can be nice. Its the windigos messing with you.]

--sorry. Not exactly myself at the moment.

[audio]

[topgun_textiles]

Y-you're tellin' m-m-me... I-I was all p-pissed off about everyth-th-thing, but it's h-hard to keep your head on n' realize th-that ain't y-you.
