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.]

[....there is some truth to that... kind of. The smiliest person in the world is the person who gets the most smiles out of Ingo, but that might just be because he's his twin brother.]

...Perhaps he's putting himself in the mindset and, from there, applying his experience to reverse it. [Uh... yeah.]

Get him to think of fond memories, or people close to him.

[That's-- ...ah.]

...However, with that you run the risk of turning emotions in the opposite direction.

[He knows you mean well, Gold, really! but... he'd rather not think about Emmet too hard, thanks. That delves into Depressing Territory.]

[Geez, sor-ry, he had no idea your lives sucked so much.]

Have you tried tellin' him a joke?
infinitefrown: (well okay i'll just be over here then)

[Not your fault, Gold. It's cool.]

Humor is rather hit-or-miss... [A train leaves San Francisco at 6:00 pm, averaging 60 mph. Another train headed in the same direction leaves San Francisco at 10:00 pm, averaging 90 mph....]

You became an expert on jokes, remember? You should be able to bust 'em out at the drop of a hat.

[this is reminiscent of their argument on Ingo-Subway.... except this time Gold's the one with the goal in mind. Er... but a do-not-do-too debate won't get very far...

oh my god ingo i thought i told you not to analyze their argumeeeeeeeents]

That's the best one of all. You mean one like "a soul of Silver", dude.

[A "soul of silver?" Ingo hasn't heard that saying before, though it does suit Silver like Gold's fits himself. Aah, the wonder of color-names....]

Uh-huh, sure, whatever you say, Silver.

Well, I have truthfully heard of "heart of gold" with more frequency.... [ingo you're probably better off not trying to participate in this conversation]
mischiefbreeder: (Not a bad thought)

[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...
