toxickiss | 6th Show [Video] First part accidental

Current Mood: bouncy

[When the video is on, it's from a tilted view from the ground. Most likely on top of other things, as anything heard is slightly muffled. Lily's pulling at one of the many poles (of pipes, supports and such) in the open area with a rather dirty and dusty looking hand. She's also wearing somewhat normal activewear, which is an unusual thing for most people that knew her. After a couple of tugs, she puts one foot against the pipe to start a bit of a climb. After the first large step, the next leg hooks and wraps around as Lily reaches over for one of the higher horizontal pipes.]

Just one simple test...

[Hanging from the pole, Lily starts pulling herself up before dropping and swinging her legs forward for extra momentum. Once at the peak height, she turns with the adjusted grip and repeats the process until high enough to hold herself up and vertical before extending the left leg out, bending and twisting so the first foot has a place. Then the other so she was crouching. Releasing one hand, Lily slowly stands up on the pole, bouncing on the balls of her feet to make sure the movement and slight bending of the pole wasn't going to lead to a break.]

[Then she steps back and drops. Hands grabbing the pole and using it to start a swing out towards the PCD and releasing into the air. After a single flip she lands, though crouches slightly and brushing her hands off when walking to the device. The only thing caught before the feed cuts for most people is;]

Bollucks...

Looks like I found a place to teach you those other tricks. No aching muscles from last time, yeah?

That? Mostly checking the integrity. You probably won't get to that level for a while.

We'll start with baby steps, yeah?

From:

angle_on_it

Baby steps, right. Sounds good... [Can you see the worry on his face? He's a good climber and all, but this is different.] So, when do you want to meet?

From:

toxickiss

Grips and vertical poles. You're not going to be swinging around and flipping off stuff like that.

[Getting a jacket on right now while thinking on the question.]

When there's daylight, most likely. Nothing's too sore as it is, yeah?

From:

angle_on_it

Sore? No, no, I'm okay. Young and spry! [Total lie. Truth be told, he does have a few aches and pains... more and more as he spends his time in Adstringendum.] Today? Later today? Morning? Dusk? My schedule's open.

From:

toxickiss

Young and spry, right. I'm eighteen, I know how long sore muscles can last.

[Shrugs, looking out a bit.]

Somewhere around noonish, by the PCD clocks I suppose?

From:

angle_on_it

Just... trust me I'm fine. I'll be there, okay?

[And here he is, just as promised, somewhere around noon according to his PCD. Sokka calls out, hand raised to hide his eyes from the noontime sun.]

Lily? Lily, I made it!

From:

toxickiss

[And she's back at the building as well, in similar (if not the same) clothes as yesterday. Given that Sokka knows how Lily values buckets, she's bringing one to an area before dumping it out by a wall. Prior to the dumping, it seems to have been filled with sand and dirt.]

Right on time!

[Well, no time was actually set.]

And no worries, we really will be starting out with the basics. Lesson one; grip. You want to start with the vertical or horizontal?

From:

angle_on_it

Uuuhh... which one's harder? Because I'm thinking I should do the harder thing first, otherwise I might not have the strength to do it later.

[Makes sense to him, so it ought to make sense to her, right?]

From:

toxickiss

Difficulty depends on the person. I learned to vault and swing on the horizontal bars first when I was younger, but that's because of the implications of using the vertical ones. Horizontal require a strong hand grip, being good and aware of what's around and where the ground is and balance. Vertical poles would be more difficult for some because it'll develop muscles that aren't concentrated on so much.

Either way, we'll only be able to focus on one each time.

From:

angle_on_it

Well, in that case, let's just go with the easier one. I've gotten a little... lazy about training, and I think it might be better if I can ease into it.

[He slaps his hands together, ready and willing to listen to exactly what Lily's instructing him to do.]

From:

toxickiss

We'll try the vertical to see how well you catch on. We'll probably have to switch to the horizontal anyway, but it's good to know where to start. First, you got something underneath your trousers? Shorts, perhaps... It's easier to grip with skin during lessons.

[Because while she can do quick stuff with hers on, it's hard to stay on a pole with your thighs when there's fabric giving you some slip.]

From:

angle_on_it

[Aaaaaand, here comes the blushing and the awkward shifting.] I, uh... I didn't-- You didn't tell me to wear something specific, did you? I mean, I have my, you know, my-- I'm wearing shorts, but..

[Oh, spirits, what a mess he is all of a sudden! His voice raises in pitch and he gulps down his worry.] Isn't it a little cold for that? [Says the guy from the South Pole...]

From:

toxickiss

Underwear works just fine for this.

[Dear lord, it almost seems cruel with how easy it was to fluster the guy up.]

It is pretty cold, but this won't take long. As I said, we'll probably switch over to the horizontal... That you can keep fully clothed.

From:

angle_on_it

[Have a look, Lily. A very uncertain, slightly smokey look. Sokka is so not looking forward to wrapping his legs around anything cold, especially with little protection for more... temperature sensitive areas. XD]

[Must be careful.]

You'd better believe it won't take long. I'll be sure to pick it up quick, don't you worry...

[Man. He's got to take off his coat to get to his belt, and his belt to get to his pants, and his pants to get to the shorts and bare skin, and somewhere along the way, the boots had to go, too. In the end, he's not looking too happy in his state of almost complete undress.]

Can I at least put my coat back on? [Sokka's used to extreme cold, sure, but he doesn't have a lot of body fat at all, and usually he's wrapped in furs and hides.]

From:

toxickiss

Actually, I don't think you'll manage to do much past the first attempt, given the season.

[Oh don't worry, Sokka. Lily's quite sympathetic to the current plight! Which is why she's not actually going to make you suffer more than this one itsy-bitsy test of sorts.]

Tell you what; you can even have your boots back on, along with the coat. It's just hard to do this one thing with fabric, what with friction and all that. I'll show you what I mean when demonstrating what you'll do.

From:

angle_on_it

Oh, thank the spirits... [This is under his breath as he quickly pulls his heavy coat back over his shoulders. It doesn't actually do much to cover his lower half, but it makes him feel much more... whole.]

[He tugs on his boots and puts his pants and belt somewhere safe.]

Just so you know, most people have to at least buy me dinner before I take my pants off... [But he chuckles amiably and folds in on himself to keep in what heat he can, shifting on his feet while waiting for Lily to demonstrate.]

From:

toxickiss

And usually I get paid when guys take their clothes off. It's a new experience for us both.

[Though she smirks teasingly, it's a little hard to tell if that statement was serious of not. Going over to one of the poles, Lily raises one hand and grasps it lazily.]

While using your hands to pull up and get some height, this is to see how well you can grip onto the pole without using your upper body. A lot of the tricks I know involve using one's legs just as much, if not more, than hands and arms. I'll be sliding down some, wearing what I am, but it shouldn't happen so much in your state of... dress. [Or undress]We'll start easy, using both your thighs and around the lower calves to hold yourself, then releasing your arms.

[With that, Lily hoists herself up with both hands, clenching the pole with the high point of her thighs. With her knees bent the area above her ankles pressed against the pole with both feet angled. As she released both arms, to hold out at the sides, there was a slow slide towards the ground.]

See, just like this. We'll just see how long you can stay up before continuing on with the horizontal bars and you having trousers on.

[With that, there was a slightly more rapid slip as her lower legs released the pole and straightened out at the knees. Then, grabbing the pole again with one hand, she dropped both legs and released to the ground. Taking a few steps back, she gestured for Sokka to give it a try.]

From:

angle_on_it

Yeah, yeah, you just want to see me with my pants off. I know I've got nice legs and all, but c'mon, Lily... you've just got to ask.

[This is just a way to keep his mind off the cold he's about to experience. Keeping in thoughts on everything the young woman has said, Sokka reaches out and tests the temperature of the pole with his hand... Not so bad. Willing himself forward, he steps close to the pole and looks over at Lily before attempting his ascent.] Please don't tell anyone I took my pants off for this.

[But he's laughing until the moment he takes on the task. He's a good climber, so he naturally reaches up as high as he can and uses the grip of his boots to elevate him even more. Of course, a second later, when he wraps his legs around that pole, he instantly freezes, muscles screaming to let go, mind screaming not to move, body screaming he's just crazy to put that close next to his skin. But... but he's staying up. Hugging the pole to his chest, yes, but staying up none-the-less.]

[She'll have to convince him to let those arms go. And to breathe. And to think anything more than "I want to get down and put on pants."]

From:

toxickiss

But it's so fun seeing you squirm, So-kka~♥

[At least she didn't whistle at him or anything in that time. So points on that? She even gives the poor guy a little bit before deciding it's time to take off the training wheels' training wheels.]

Okay, now take your arms off and hold them out. We're testing your leg muscles, and that won't happen with you holding tight with your hands.

...

The faster you do that, the sooner you get your trousers back.

From:

angle_on_it

[Sokka doesn't mind being appreciated -- it probably gets him into more trouble than anything else he does (or doesn't do).]

Okay, okay... just gotta-- [Breath? Freeze? Both? Sokka finds he has to concentrate on what he's doing a lot more when he's got his legs freezing to a very cold pole.] ...okay, phew, here goes...

[And slowly, he lets go, arms stretching them out to his sides. Without the extra grip, he immediately starts slipping downward. His grip with his legs tightens in response and Sokka resists the urge to grab back on with his hands.]

[He's doing it, but only by the grace of his very good boot traction and some very toned legs.] Like... like this? Am I doing it?

From:

toxickiss

Doing all right so far. You want to grip with your upper thighs more than your knees. They're strong muscles, but are used to being used for walking and running instead of something like this.

From:

angle_on_it

Or climbing... [He adds this, but it's strained as he attempts to make the adjustment she suggested. Aaaaand, of course, he immediately slides toward the ground and is forced to let go to land on his feet.]

Oh maaaaaan! Sorry, I thought-- I thought I could do it.

From:

toxickiss

Don't worry.

[While walking to Sokka, she picks up the trousers to offer them back to him.]

If it were easy to do the first time, then this wouldn't have been a test.

From:

angle_on_it

[He will be taking those pants and pulling them right back on, struggling to get them over his boots. Sokka hopped around comically as he tried to focus on Lily at the same time as he dressed.] Did I pass?

From:

toxickiss

[Yeah, she's just going to be extremely amused while you do that.]

It's not exactly a test that has passing or failing. It's more an assessment. We'll just have a lot to do when the weather warms up.
