Front Door/Front Lawn, Tuesday Afternoon

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

The front doors are open and the twins are sitting on the lobby's couch with Matilda standing nearby. "You guys ready?"

"Ready."

To reduce any chance of injury, all arms and legs had been securely fastened within the couch's perimeter before lift off was to begin. There had been a bit of scuffling about before they could have even considered being 'ready'. Numerous trips from the door to the couch, arms spread wide in mock measurement had happened before they could all be certain. "Hold on tight guys."

The front door wide open, Matilda lifted the couch carefully with her mind and directed it slowly out the door.

The couch wobbled a bit as it went, knocking against the frame of the front door as it traveled outside.
"We've cleared the frame, captain. All systems go!"

Matilda follows the flying couch out onto the lawn and lifts it to about 6 feet off the ground. "So what now? Hikaru, have you got any good ideas?"

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Every time she said their names and looked at one of them is was correct. It had become a bit unsettling.

"See anything we can get out of trees? Maybe we can put something in a tree too?"

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

She gives this plan due consideration. "Hmm... I don't see anything that would be a nice tree decoration quite yet... How about I spin you around?"

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"Try to knock us off!" Their catty eyes gleam.

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"You got it." She gives a her finger a twist through the air, as if she's doing the sign language for the letter j and the couch begins a quick spin, then stops it dead in mid turn. The momentum alone should send them soaring.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Indeed it does, and unfortunately with both pillow cushions. Their tight hold to the couches hadn't been quite enough to keep them down.
In opposite directions, they soared riding the cushions until they met ground.

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

Before the cushions could hit she held them up along with the couch. "I don't want to get these things all dirty." She lift the twins each back onto the couch again.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

What a splendid added bonus that had turned out to be.
"You could get paid to do this, you know." They smirk.

((ooc: o__o are you on your lappy?))

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"You think people would actually pay money to fly around on couch cushions?"

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"Of course. It's a riot." Pause. "We could start a business."

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"If you think it'd work... Maybe...?"

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"When the opportunity arises... perhaps right away isn't the best idea."

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"Well as long as it doesn't get in the way of classes or anything I'm fine with it.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"Woo!" They do a little victory flail in their seats.

After spending far too much time getting his room organized, Teddy had decided to take a well deserved break. He walked outside to the lawn in order to stretch and get a breath of fresh air.

He stopped abruptly. There was a floating couch. He shut his eyes and then opened them slowly, hoping that it wasn't a hallucination.

Nope, the floating couch was still there. And there were people on it. Familiar people. It was those twins he had met before, at least he hoped they were. He didn't think he could handle any more look-a-likes at this school.

"Do I even want to know?"

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"Teddy. Do you have something we could stick up in this tree?" They point simultaneously at a large tree somewhere on the lawn.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy raised an eyebrow at the question.

"Nothing that I would want to part with," He replied in a slow measured tone, usually reserved for small children. "Why are you putting stuff up a tree?"

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"Well we don't have a lot of ideas for what to do with this flying couch."

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"Because other than you, there aren't a pile of people to run over with this couch."

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"Or that." She chuckles a little and lets the twins talk to him.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy stopped to wonder when his life got so weird. Ah yes, time-traveler, that would be it.

"I see. Couch bowling, sport of kings."

He stood still, staring up at the couch for a moment. "Can I ride the magic flying couch?"

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"Hop on!" They scoot over to allow him a space on the couch, the couch lowering for him.

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

Matilda lifts them all and flies them around when Teddy gets on. Mun being mostly AFK...

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy climbs on the couch, bouncing on the seat a little.

He grins a pokes the couch's cushions. "How does this work?"

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

They point to the little girl with the raised finger.
"Matilda does it with her mind."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy looks down at Matilda, impressed.

"Telekinetic, huh?" A suspicious look soon crosses his face. "Your last name isn't Summers or Grey, is it?"

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"Nope. Wormwood or Honey."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Okay then. Just making sure."

He looks down. "Maybe you guys should get safety belts or something for this, wouldn't want anyone to fall from so high."

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"Once me make this a business, we might have to invest in some." Hikaru grinned at the thought. It wouldn't be difficult to get a couch specially made for flying sent from home.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Business? What are you going to do, sell tickets to the Wonderful Flying Couch(TM)?"

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"Of course. And with a few adjustments and tricks, who knows? It might be interesting."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

John stands aghast. That better not be the first floor lobby couch! It's way too comfy to be turned into a flying carpet.

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"Hi. Did you want a ride too?" SHe smiles at John.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Where did you get that couch from?"

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"The lobby. It'd be hard to get a couch down the stairs." She nodded

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

John makes a frownyface. "That's not the point. The point is it's very comfy and I had plans later of using it for its designed purpose, wee!flying or no."

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"You can get on too... if you'll fit."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

John grumbles something about not being that fat as he clambors aboard.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"Ahoy there! Hop on!" They flail in unison at the stranger.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Not on my couch!" John flails, despite thinking how cool it'd be to be on a flying couch.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"Come on! It hasn't gotten hurt." They pat the couch and grin down at him.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

John climbed on hte couch, wishing for seatbelts.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"Wouldn't it be fun to race on these things? Comfortable and environmentally safe. Hehe." Hikaru leaned back on the comfy cushions and kicked his feet.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"I'm thinking that it might do with a roll cage."

John was NOT thinking of having overstuffed recliner races. Nope.


Dammit, he was. Guess he'll just hafta build one. Or two.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Oooo! Your first customer."

Teddy peers down over the edge of the Wonderful Flying Couch(TM).
