you only have to go as far as sitting in the ice water. ita goes and gets herself beat up all over, so she has to go all the way in.
That's true! Unless I fall over.
Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

Fruitbats.
I'd much prefer to be creaky and use that as an excuse to sleep, like my dad did.

How long do you stay in the ice water?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't need excuses to sleep. I need time.
I stayed in about five to eight minutes. After three it gets much easier.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
After three it gets much easier.

The day after (and of, frankly) a marathon, our house echoed with my dad's snoring. Our friends would come over, suddenly see or hear him and start trying to be quiet. We told them not to bother. He'd be dead to the world. Until one of his snorts woke him up.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Do you find a gym that has one, or just have your spouse buy lots of ice and fill up the bathtub at home?
You do lots and lots of mean things, and then you die, and then you get sent to the ice bath. Isn't that how it goes?

Also, legs-only-in-cold means you can wear a sweatshirt.

Not so much numb as eerily hot.
