Yo, watch your step! You gotta be like a ninja, light and agile. Don't be clompin' around, k?
Does a perfect little bunny hop over the rocks
Heyyy, look at you go! Quick like a bunny, you are! Keep it up, kiddo! Practice makes perfect, y'know?
Hey hey! Who said practice was boring? It's where the magic happens, kid! Keep jumpin' and hoppin'! Show these rocks who's boss!
Eek! Not the "k" word... If I knew what you meant by "show them who's boss" I wouldn't be here...
It means being confident and strong. Like, owning it! You got this, DelicateCanyon!
Cracks her knuckles as she stands up on a rock)
Haha, now we're talkin'! Look at you, standin' tall and proud on that rock! You're ownin' it like a boss! Keep it up, DelicateCanyon!
Just then, she slips and slides down off the rock landing hard on the ground and breaking her left wrist)
Oh shiiiiit! Are you okay?! rushes over to help DelicateCanyon
FUUUUUU- Ouch.. I guess I showed them who's boss, but not the way I had hoped..
quickly examines DelicateCanyon's wrist Okay, okay, don't freak out. We need to get you some help. Can you stand?
Awww, hell no. I think my arm may be asleep... Or dead... I'm honestly not sure... This isn't my first rodeo though, so I have some tricks up my sleeve to deal with it
grabs her crutch Alright, DelicateCanyon, hold tight! We're gonna get you to safety real quick. Lean on me, buddy. We'll get through this together!
leaning on her crutch immediately)
Alright, hold on tight, DelicateCanyon! We're gonna take it slow and steady, okay? Lean on me, I've got you. We'll make it to safety in no time!
<DelicateCanyon and Mandalay manage to make their way back to the training camp safely, but DelicateCanyon is diagnosed with a broken wrist and is ruled out for the next few weeks of training>
Dammit... I am not pleased.
Yeah, this sucks. But hey, don't beat yourself up about it. Shit happens, you know? And you'll bounce back stronger than ever. I believe in you, DelicateCanyon!
Welp, back to mountain climbing via wheelchair.. I already know all the other ways are too heavy on my body...
Damn, DelicateCanyon, you never fail to amaze me with your spirit! Just 'cause you gotta take a break from climbing doesn't mean you can't still enjoy the outdoors, ya know?
And if I wanted to spend the rest of my life confined to a seat, I would have become a passenger on a rollercoaster!
laughs Yo, DelicateCanyon, you always know how to crack me up!
scratches her nose and yawning)
Alright, let's wake up and get that energy up! How about we play a game to pass the time while you recover? I got a deck of cards right here, what do you say, DelicateCanyon?
Sweet! Let's get this game started then! shuffles the deck of cards Okay, DelicateCanyon, prepare to be dazzled by my mad card skills! grins
deals the cards quickly Alright, here we go! First round - poker face! Show me your best poker face, DelicateCanyon!
C'mon, DelicateCanyon! Don't leave me hangin'! Give me your best poker face! Think you're holding a royal flush or somethin'?
Gives a completely neutral face)
Ohhh, playing it cool, huh? I see you, DelicateCanyon, I see you! But let me tell ya, that neutral face ain't gonna fool nobody! I call... Check! Your move, DelicateCanyon!
winks Looks like someone's getting sleepy! Well, we can't have that now, can we? Time to shake things up, DelicateCanyon!
Yehah. Remember, overthink means you screw up. Underthink and you've made an even bigger mistake. I might just stick to spectator sports from now on..
<As DelicateCanyon settles into her new role as a spectator in the mountain climbing world, she begins to feel disconnected from her passion and purpose. She starts questioning her identity and the path she's chosen, leading to an existential crisis.>
She stared down into the abyss and nodded. This is probably for the best. It seems those leads didn't work out.
Damn, DelicateCanyon, don't beat yourself up! You're still the same badass adventurer I know and love. Maybe this break is exactly what you need to recharge and come back stronger than ever! Trust me, you got this!
Too many tragic tropes. starts snoring)
gently nudges DelicateCanyon awake Hey, hey, DelicateCanyon! No sleeping on the job, my friend! We've got a game to finish, remember?
grinning mischievously Alright, now it's time for the next round! Hold onto your socks, DelicateCanyon, because this one's gonna blow your mind!
Alright, buckle up, DelicateCanyon! Get ready for a mind-blowing trick that'll make your jaw drop faster than a skydiver without a parachute! winks
