N: *Two Pokemon are exploring the park* L: A Ribombee flutters beside an Eevee as they explore together. "Who would've thought there'd be so much interesting stuff around here?" N: Eevee: Yeah, though it feels kinda empty when no one is nearby for miles L: "I kind of like it that way, we can do what we want without worrying about anyone seeing us!" N: Eevee: Where should we go first? L: "Hmm... How about that sandbox over there?" Ribombee points in its direction. N: Eevee: Sure, let’s head there *As they make their way to to the sandbox they notice a warning sign* L: "Wait, what's that say? ..."Do not enter, regularly turns to quicksand"... Weird. If that's true, why isn't it blocked off?" N: Eevee: Also why did the sandbox made with quicksand, how strange L: "I think someone's just lying to stop people from having fun! Come on, let's go!" Ribombee sets herself down in the sandbox. N: Eevee: I don’t care if this is actually quicksand, I would hop into the sandbox either way *Walks into the sandbox* L: Before too long, the two Pokemon find it getting harder for them to raise their legs to walk... They're sinking into the sand! "O-oh jeez, it was serious!" N: Eevee: Oh my, it really is true L: Ribombee quickly flutters her wings to try to get loose, but it doesn't help. "I... I-I can't fly out, I'm stuck!" N: Eevee: *Tries to pull their legs and was only able to get her front legs free* I can’t get much of it free, we really are stuck in quicksand L: "I can't reach anything from here... Is there anything close enough for you to grab?" N: Eevee: I don’t see anything to grab on to, it’s too far from land L: "O-oh... We're gonna drown here, aren't we?" Ribombee nervously stares down at the quicksand slowly taking in her body. N: *Eevee look down at the quicksand swallowing up his knees* Eevee: Probably L: "...You know, I HAVE always been curious what this would feel like... At least I'm gonna find out from this." N: Eevee: Me too, I didn’t really care about the warning sign L: "Sinking in quicksand actually feels kind of nice... I wish it could be safe, but still." N: Eevee: I didn’t mind the danger, it’s more fun that way *His back legs are sunken as he wags his tail* L: Ribombee nervously smiles at Eevee. "...Maybe you're right! Only being able to experience this for a little while actually kind of makes it better!" She's a bit less than halfway under the quicksand at this point. N: Eevee: You seem to be sinking a little fast then I L: "Must be because I'm smaller than you. Hang on, let me try..." Ribombee flutters her wings as hard as she can, but with them already partly under the quicksand, it accomplishes nothing. "Maybe not. I guess I'll be first, then..." N: Eevee: Seems like it *Wiggles a bit as he sinks to his belly* Mmm, this feels so relaxing L: "This must be why mud baths are a thing... I wish I'd gotten to try one, now." Ribombee runs her hands through the quicksand. N: Eevee: Well, we got a different kind of spa to enjoy *Watches his body slowly being swallowed by the sand more and more* L: "If it feels so good outside of us... Do you think it'll feel good when we breathe it in, too?" Ribombee's eyes go wide. "...Wow, I can't believe that's actually a sensible question right now..." N: Eevee: Seems that we are started to love quicksand so much, going as far to willing drown in all that softness and I accept that L: "Yeah! Even if I could get out, I'm not sure I'd want to any more!" Ribombee's nervousness has finally entirely faded, and she now looks at the quicksand with anticipation rather than fear. N: Eevee: Yeah, we would sink back under if we be able to escape *Eevee looking more eager to sink deeper as he wags his tail excitedly* L: Ribombee's up to about her chest by now, holding up her arms so they don't sink under yet. "Wonder which one of us is gonna inhale it first... I'll go under sooner, but I'm good at holding my breath." N: Eevee: Not sure, if we can actually resurface then we can tell who L: "...Do we WANT to surface, though?" She winks at Eevee. "I doubt we're ever going to find out who lasts longer down there." N: Eevee: Even if we did, we will sink back under for round two, do you agree L: "Oh, for sure! Alright, here's what I'm thinking: We each stay down until we start choking, then we surface. Whoever comes up first loses. Does that sound fun?" N: Eevee: Yes, a nice breath holding game under the quicksand. What will the loser have to do? L: "Hmm... How about... The next time they go under, they have to inhale right away, instead of holding their breath." N: Eevee: And maybe acting perilous while the loser sink under L: "You mean the loser has to pretend to struggle? That'd make a good reward for the winner!" N: Eevee: Indeed, it will make this quicksand fun much more fun *Eevee sinks to his chest* L: "Sucks that I'm gonna be at a bit of a disadvantage, going under sooner... But I'm not gonna make this easy for you!" N: Eevee: A daring dive into quicksand L: Ribombee's neck is going under now, and she starts tilting her head back. "I hope we'll actually be able to get back up, or we can't really do our little game." N: Eevee: Even if we don’t, it was still a fun time in the sandbox *Eevee playfully struggles as he sinks to his shoulders* L: As Ribombee's head starts sinking under, she gives Eevee one last look. "Alright, here we go... Hopefully I'll see you up here before me!" She takes a deep breath, and sinks fully under the quicksand. N: Eevee: *Tilt his head and lift his one front leg up as the sand climbing up his chin* I’ll be joining you soon L: Below the quicksand, Ribombee tries not to let out any bubbles, focusing on holding her breath as long as possible. The quicksand all around actually helps keep her calm, despite not being able to breathe. N: *Eevee sinks under as he keeps his breath in* L: Ribombee is still staying calm, though she's already feeling an urge to breathe. She stays nearly still and pinches her nose shut, trying to conserve oxygen. N: *Eevee hold his breath as much as he can as few of his bubble escapes his nose* L: Eventually, Ribombee can't keep calm, covering her mouth in addition to holding her nose, straining and starting to blush with her need for air. N: *Bubble still comes out little by little but Eevee still keep his breath hold and calm* L: Ribombee can't stop herself from losing bubbles any more, but her determination to win outweighs her urge to breathe as she starts kicking out of desperation. N: *A few bigger bubble escapes Eevee but still holds his breath in despite feeling the need to breath* L: Finally, Ribombee reaches her limit, exhaling what's left of her air and gasping down quicksand. Choking heavily, she scrambles back to the surface, feeling herself start to weaken before getting back up and gasping air again. N: *As Eevee started to blushed from needing air he soon heard Rimombee struggles and decided to resurface the moment Rimombee gasp* L: Ribombee repeatedly coughs and gasps to clear the quicksand from her lungs, seeing Eevee surface and knowing she'd lost. "Argh... Y-you won-" She coughs a few more times. N: Eevee: That was… fun, this is way better then underwater breath holding L: "Guess I have to act like I'm struggling, now." Ribombee wipes some quicksand from her eyes and starts waving her arms around as if she wanted to be rescued, "struggling" to keep from sinking. N: Eevee: You now, watching you struggle makes me want to do it too L: "It's actually kind of fun!" She tries to push herself through the quicksand, knowing it won't do anything, especially with her pretend panic. N: *Eevee was pushing himself back to chest deep as he felt the powerful suction of the quicksand that is preventing his escape* Eevee: Wow, I look so helpless in this L: "You sure do, and I bet I do too!" Ribombee happily splashes in the quicksand, splattering it around and doing nothing to help her escape, though it isn't as if she WANTS to escape. N: *Eevee sinks instantly to his shoulders as he struggles to get his front legs out for a moment before getting both of his legs out and start splashing some sand* Eevee: I feel so stuck now, I don’t think we can resurface the second time even if we wanted to L: Ribombee quickly sinks some as well and tries to get herself high in the quicksand again, and sure enough, she can't. "Oh, yep, this is it. We're not coming up again, but I don't really think I want to." N: Eevee: Yeah, this is our final moment… oh, I can hear the shifting sands this time. Slowly swallowing us both under. How nice *Eevee lift his one front leg up* L: With a significant amount of effort, Ribombee struggles her way over to Eevee, holding onto his leg. "We'll head down together this time. But, that does mean I'll drown before you, and leave you alone for a little while... Hope that's alright." N: Eevee: Yep, this is how we gonna do it L: Ribombee starts tilting her head back again. "I'll hold onto you for as long as I can. Once I let go... I think you'll know what happened." She gets one last breath, and holds it as she sinks back under. N: Eevee: Sweet dying breath before sinking under the quicksand, begging us sink under *Eevee tilt his head* Take us under sweet quicksand L: The top of Ribombee's head goes under, and a few little bubbles float up as she's not trying quite as hard to last a long time. N: *Eevee face and paw remains* Eevee: This is the best day ever L: Ribombee smiles between her puffed cheeks as she hears Eevee say that, and if she were able to talk right now, she would agree. N: *Eevee toke his last breath before sinking completely under the quicksand* L: Trying to stay calm, Ribombee savors her last lungful of air, a tiny bubble occasionally leaving her nostrils and briefly running along Eevee's leg before floating off. N: *Eevee keeps his breath hold as he starts bubbling a bit* L: Ribombee starts having a bit of strain again, and she decides that instead of being more casual this time, she's going to hold on with everything she has. Hearing Eevee's bubbling gives her some hope that, if she doesn't let out much air, she might end up drowning at the same time as her friend. N: *Eevee started to blush as he needing to breath* L: Holding her nostrils again, Ribombee's face is red as she starts properly struggling, trembling a little in strain. N: *Eevee struggles to keep his breath in* L: Once again, Ribombee can't hold her breath any more. A cloud of bubbles rushes from her mouth, and she inhales the quicksand again, this time making no attempt to surface as she drowns. N: *Eevee starts blowing bigger bubbles as he is reaching his limit* L: Ribombee grabs her neck with one hand, keeping her grip on Eevee with the other, shaking and gurgling with fewer and fewer bubbles leaving her. Even during her drowning, she's still enjoying being down here. N: *Eevee starts inhaling some sand as he enjoying his breathless time under the sand* L: With no air left in her body, Ribombee starts to calm down, breathing sand more and more slowly while she does her best to stay awake. N: *Eevee felt his lungs being filled with sand as he happily enjoying his final moment under the quicksand* L: As her awareness starts to fade, Ribombee weakly pats Eevee with a blue-faced smile, wordlessly saying goodbye to him. Then, she shivers just a little more and passes out, letting go of him and starting to sink on her own. N: *Eevee is now fully drowned soon after as they enjoy their eternal rest under the soft sand*
