Turn that frown upside down [Video/Action]

[It had a pretty simple beginning. ...Okay, maybe not simple. Silver needed a distraction. Badly. And Ingo was a rather comfortable and effective person to serve as a distraction. Of course, Silver wasn't consciously aware of this at the time. If he had to be asked why he would go to Ingo at his time of need of a distraction, he'd honestly say that he wasn't sure.

But there he was, spending time with Ingo. Nothing too heavy, just some casual conversation. Of course, some casual conversation with Ingo... Led to a question about a certain rumor about his face. Namely, the fact that Ingo always frowned. Was his face really stuck that way? Silver had to know. Of course, when Ingo confirmed that it was false, he needed proof. What, is it comfortable to frown like that? Yes didn't quite seem like a legitimate answer, so...



Silver took on the task of finding the answer through first hand face experience.

Which left the obvious "if you can smile, why don't you?" ...But Ingo does not simply smile. Of course, there's gotta be some way to get him to smile. Which is where everyone else comes in.

So Silver heads to his journal and flicks on the video. Both he and Ingo are present.



He has a harmless and innocent enough question, if a stupid one. And an awkward one.]


So what's a good way to get someone to smile?

[Feeling the need to provide context, Ingo adds his piece, albeit awkwardly.]



Silver is attempting to get me to smile, you see-- ah, it's a little unnatural... But he'd like to make the endeavor.

[Which adds on to the initial awkward, so Silver adds a little more to the table.]

It's a long story.

[Once that's sufficiently awkwardly dealt with, it's off to go find something that can make the two of them smile by walking around... Well, everywhere.



The frowns never leave their faces. There are a lot of conversations about trains, subways, and Pokémon. Puns are included. Do you dare to take a ride on the super double frown subway? It's quite the challenge and it takes quite some time to make it to the next station.]


[SO HEY, A RIDICULOUS AND LIGHTHEARTED POST. Ingo is present! Tagging order is You--> Ingo --> Silver.]

Really? I didn't know you had a sister. What is she like?

[Covertly trying to tease a smile out of him while he talks.]

[Silver has a sister? That's news to him! Ingo nods along with Mia's question, regarding Silver attentively. Do tell!]
frost_jewel: (hm?)

[personal profile] frost_jewel 2012-09-02 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
She sounds wonderful. Do you not smile at your friend Gold?

[oooop Ingo knows exactly where this could lead (by way of personal experience with the feeling, himself). It is interesting to hear about her, but he wouldn't want to do so at the cost of Silver's mood. Thank you for the swift subject change, Mia!]

...He at least exchanges friendly banter with Gold, as far as I've seen. [Every time they're together, for real.

Maybe he'd smile for Miss Crys?...]

[You're right...]

It's lopsided.

[There's one clear answer. She turns to Silver.] You should take the other cheek.
frost_jewel: (just as planned)

[personal profile] frost_jewel 2012-09-04 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Isn't it? You can't provide an example smile for your friend, nor he for you.

[pfff silver. Also-- "senior"? Huh... well, they must be from the same world. Are you in charge of him or something, Silver?....]

Hmm. One would have to watch for a meteor shower to have a good chance at finding Cleffa.

[missing the point]
infinitefrown: (uh-huh....)

[You don't want to force his face into a smile, promise. It will look really awful....

(Ingo is still kind of stuck in shock. His confusion is trying to manifest into a deeper frown, which only further distorts the expression. Sob.)]

He pinches the bridge of his nose.]


That is. Quite unfortunate... [eye loss by bird defecation, really?!...]

[Now now, kids....]

Well-- it has its uses, yes, and can make for easy shorthand when describing someone. However, its overuse has classified it as a cliché...

[no one cares ingo]
