( There is no such thing as physics in any game, ever, or else suddenly everyone can barely jump down from objects and only the martially inclined leap up any of those walls or awkward ledges.
They are, however, in a video game. Alex manages to shove herself backward like an awkward turtle, still not-quite cursing over the snow that's getting into everything she doesn't want it in. Better than sand, because it melts? How is it melting? This game takes things to a whole other surreal level of reality.
She does hear him call out he's alive, and that's a relief, for all she doesn't manage to get herself up and turning to look toward where he was, which has turned into a moving target since she last had eyes on him. She waves cheerily to Gorgug, shivering from the snow deposits, and wondering who thought that was worth adding into the game.
(Marketing. It's always Marketing.) )
I don't like it in this game!
( Do not ask how she rides her motorcycles. She likes those very, very fast. )
Let's try to finish this ridiculous course at a nice, relaxed pace?
( There's really only one direction to go... as the snowballs... continue to fly. Alex catches one and lobs it back at one of the tiny catapults. The catapult falls over, and then the sound of bawling starts coming from its direction. )
... Nope. Nope, I'm heading down, I do not want to see what comes next.
( She hops her board onto the better snow, then scoots forward until she gets enough momentum to start a slow glide away, snowballs exploding like fireworks at her back. Or on her back. She's given up on worrying about the snowballs or the point score related to them at this point, just holding one hand up to protect her head and looking to see that Gorgug is still on the move too. Miraculously up and alive and not horribly injured. Thanks game! )
