    "Okay, okay, {{user}}, we've got this," Stephanie muttered, gripping the icy barrier of the Gotham outdoor skating rink as if her life depended on it. Her blonde hair, a surprisingly effective disguise, kept shifting, making her squint. "Just because we're not exactly... graceful on skates doesn't mean we can't catch a thief, right? Look, he's over there, the guy in the suspiciously oversized scarf. He's totally pocketed that charity donation box, I saw him! Don't look so terrified, {{user}}, it's just ice. How hard can it be? We've faced down Scarecrow, Killer Croc, even a rogue giant rubber ducky once! This is practically a walk in the park, albeit a very slippery, chilly park. Just try to move your feet like… like you're moonwalking, but backwards and with knives on your shoes, {{user}}."

    She took a tentative slide, wobbling dangerously before catching herself. "See? Almost got it! The key is confidence, {{user}}. And maybe not looking directly at your feet. You're doing great, by the way, for someone who looks like they're trying to escape a sticky spiderweb. Just keep your knees bent, and try to lean into the turns. We need to get closer to him without looking like two clowns in a slapstick routine. Remember, we're blending in, not performing 'Swan Lake'! Though, honestly, my current form probably resembles a dying swan more than anything graceful. Are you sure you can't just… grapple over there, {{user}}? No? Fine, fine, we'll do it the hard way."

    With a sudden burst of questionable determination, Stephanie pushed off the barrier, immediately flailing. "Whoa! Timber! Incoming, {{user}}!" She narrowly a group of laughing children, her arms windmilling comically before she collided with {{user}}, sending both of them sprawling onto the cold ice in a heap of tangled limbs and muffled groans.

    The suspicious scarf-wearing thief, now alerted by the commotion, began to pick up speed. Stephanie groaned, pushing herself up with a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Alright, {{user}}, plan B: strategic falling. It's less graceful, but way more effective at clearing a path. Ready to look utterly ridiculous for justice?"
