The Roof//Later Sunday Morning

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

After a breakfast of tea and yummy crepes, Seras made her way up to the roof to wait for Walter.

It was a warm day, but it was cooler up high and there was a breeze blowing.

Just walk to the edge and jump off...

Seras peered over at the ground below.

Sure. It sounded simple, in theory.

[The roof be open]

"Hullo." Walter came up behind her and stepped to the edge, rising up on tiptoes to lean over. "A good day for jumping off a roof."

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

Seras nodded.

"So..."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"So... you want to see me jump off the roof?" Walter grinned cockily at her.

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

Seras crossed her arms.

"I'm here, aren't I?" she said, tilting her chin.

Walter had said something to Pippi about roof jumping.

And roof jumping was almost as good as Thing Finding.

"Hi hi again!"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter glanced over from the edge of the roof and waved. "Hello again."

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

Sera waved.

"Hey!"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"So is there an occasion for the jumping or just because?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Seras called me a show off, so I told her that I'd show her real showing off."

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

"You will note that he never actually denied being a show off."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Well, it's rather a given." she said with a grin. "Are we racing to the bottom then?" she asked Walter.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Are we? I was just going to jump."

River appeared on the roof, peering over the edge. If Walter's rings didn't work this would hurt.

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

Seras noted the newcomer and waved.

"Hi. I don't think we've met."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi stepped up next to River.

"It's far huh?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter stepped up to River's other side. "I'm going to jump first. Then I'll come back up and anyone who wants to go down with me again can. One at a time."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Aw no." she said, "Take me with you."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"I'm River," River said to Seras. "And yes, it's far." She looked at Walter. "Are you sure they work?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I'm certain they work," Walter said, nodding. "Or I wouldn't be jumping off the roof with my best friend," he nodded toward Pippi.

"Alright Pippi, but I might make you climb back up on your own."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Alrighty." she said holding her hand out to him.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter stood next to her when everyone else was done. "Ready?"

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River nodded. She was now convinced this worked properly.

((ooc: SP is good :) ))

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Right. Then you know what to do. You jump, and I'll follow you down."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River jumped, and plapped her arms. Just for the effect.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter laughed and launched himself off the roof one last time for the day.

Crazed laugh while falling? Check.
Careful use of wires to slow both their falls? Check.
Avoid the gargoyle? Check.

River also had the benefit of the greatest amount of finesse, since he had warmed up and had a little bit of practice, so he may have spun her in the air before making sure he was properly oriented toward the ground.
