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 firsthand 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.]

no subject
Seriously. [You don't say those kinds of things to a mom. You just don't.]
Oh and assume it's video, that's fine \o/
And aye, well the train conductors are generally world government employees so they tend to be jerks. [... That answer.]
All right, let's try this joke and if it fails, we'll just have to move onto situational humor or improv.
A pirate walks into a bar and the bartender says, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened, you look terrible!"
"What do you mean?" the pirate replies, "I'm fine."
The bartender says, "But what about that wooden leg? You didn't have that before."
"Well," says the pirate, "We were in a battle at sea and a cannon ball hit my leg but the surgeon fixed me up, and I'm fine, really."
"Yeah," says the bartender, "But what about that hook? Last time I saw you, you had both hands."
"Well," says the pirate, "We were in another battle and we boarded the enemy ship. I was in a sword fight and my hand was cut off but the surgeon fixed me up with this hook, and I feel great, really."
"Oh," says the bartender, "What about that eye patch? Last time you were in here you had both eyes."
"Well," says the pirate, "One day when we were at sea, some birds were flying over the ship. I looked up, and one of them crapped in my eye."
"So?" replied the bartender, "What happened? You couldn't have lost an eye just from some bird crap!"
"Well," says the pirate, "I really wasn't used to the hook yet."
[video]!
He pinches the bridge of his nose.]
That is. Quite unfortunate... [eye loss by bird defecation, really?!...]
