A Nice Midwinter Swim

First topic message reminder :

Shaman had never tried to test the incredible power of his ability to nap even in the most extreme of environment but today, today he felt the need too. He had come up with the perfect test, after learning that he himself floated on top of water from having more fat then muscle broke a rather large area of ice in the ice stream and dipped down into the water below. After getting himself floating he closed his eyes and fell asleep and was now drifting just under the ice in the area between it and the water. The test a complete success. Except for one thing. " I'M STUCK!!!!!!" Shaman yelled from under the ice! He hadn't thought this completely threw because as it turned out the ice was only just enough away from the water to let him float not to let him actually move.

"Hmf. Alright then. Loser..." Nate started, thinking for a bit as he retrieved his marble. "Loser jumps back into the water for a minute?" He suggested. He walked back to his spot, and tossed his marble up in the air a couple of times, before tossing it at the box, hoping it would go in. Sure enough, his luck hadn't run out yet, and it just made it in.

" Oh that'll be great you'll get to feel that god forsaken river!" Shaman shouted in agreement as he nodded vigorously. " Going for style points now!" Shaman gloated as he kicked the marble out of the box and over his head to the spot he needed to be he quick attacked over to beat the marble and jumped doing a backwards flip kicking the marble back. It bounced off a tree behind Nate and came rushing back to nail Shaman in the face.

Nate watched everything happen, and suddenly started to laugh. He almost fell down on the ground, laughing so hard. "Does that...does that count as two misses?" He asked, regaining his composure.

Shaman stood up after crashing from his slip. " der's sumethang ub my nobe." He tried to say and than blew as hard as he could out his nose. The marble popped out and rolled towards the box.

After a brief moment of silence, Nate smirked at the events. "Well, that's not in the box, so..." he commented, going and picking up his own marble and walking back to his spot.

Shaman got his own marble. " It only counts as one." HE replied to Nate's earlier question. Wiping his nose and getting his own marble.

"Alright then, once again we're even it seems. So, we have a deal on our bet?" Nate asked, and tossed his marble up in the air, thinking about what to do. He smirked, and tossed the marble up once again, punching it. The marble hit a tree and bounced up in the air, before landing in the box.

Shaman's eyes widen one of his weaknesses was pressure he did NOT have grace under pressure when it came to games that didn't include only his mind. Shaman couldn't decide to just throw it or use his kick method in a panic he tossed it and missed completely. " NO!" Shaman screamed.

"Game, set and match." Nate said, smirking at his victory. "Looks like you're taking another dip in the water." He commented to Shaman, still smirking.

" I just got over being frozen!!!" Shaman shouted towards the sky as he already started shivering in expectation for going into the water.

"Eh, don't worry. I'll have our fire going for you when you get out. That way you won't, you know, die." Nate told Shaman, walking over to the pile of logs he had set up and sending another electric charge into them, keeping it on fire.

Shaman kept a constant stream of complaining as he mopily made his way to the river. He broke a large chunk of ice. I could just lie and say I did what I didn't. Shaman reminded himself before entering into the water and screaming constantly as he stayed in the below zero degrees water.

Nate didn't bother looking at the water, smirking as he heard the yell and knowing that only the water could cause a yell like that."Hey, remember, if you're about to die, then feel free to get out." He yelled over to Shaman.

Shaman took a smaller bit of the ice and threw it at Nate. " if that causes brain swelling feel free to run to a doctor." he replied in the same tone.

Nate blinked for a second, processing the fact that Shaman threw a chunk of ice at him. "Very clever, maybe I'll just put out the fire then." He retorted.
