Second Floor Common Room - Tuesday Evening

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

Kawalsky headed to the common room in search of snack food. He'd exhausted his own supply and didn't really feel like walking down to town to pick up some more. The common room was much closer.

As he stepped across the door threshold, he tried to put his foot down on the floor and found he couldn't. He poked the air and it seemed fine, but when he stepped fully into the room, there was no gravity to be had.

With a frown, he grabbed the door frame and tried to push himself off, floating through the air.

Sadly, the snacks were going to be more difficult to reach than he'd expected.

[OOC: Gravity-free common room! Come and float!]

Tannim stepped into the common room, intending to make a dinner of Pop-Tarts. He was rather surprised to discover his feet no longer touching the floor.

"Yeah, there's a thing. I think someone's screwing around."

Tannim jumped up and nearly crashed his head on the ceiling. He put his hands against the ceiling grid and pushed himself down enough to have some head room. "Wow," he said. "This is awesome."

Dawn decided she got her exercise for the day by wandering down a floor to lounge in a different common room.

Hey, it was a theory.

She took one step inside, though, and fell flat on her face when her foot didn't touch the ground. Of course, neither did any other part of her body when she should have landed, so now she was just hovering over the ground. "Um, hi?"

"Think if I try swimming I'll look like a goldfish?" asks Jaye, still holding onto a chair.

"I dunno, how's your fishface?" Dawn asked, because naturally that was the important part.

"Hey," Kawalsky said, hanging upside down. "You're not going to puke or anything are you?"

"Daaaaaaaaaaaaaawn," Bridge waves lazily as he cartwheels in midair. "Hiiiiii."

Alanna stopped before walking into the common room and stared. "Half of me is stuck on wtf and the other half has moved on to 'that looks awesome'." She called out.

"You'll believe a man can fly," Marty said floating by. "Join the fun."

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"I'm sorta in the middle right now."

Jaye's bored enough to head to the common room. She's also midsentence when gravity goes away, so she sounds like "Hey, what are you watchEEEEEEEEEE."

"This is your fault, isn't it Tyler," Marty said from somewhere near the ceiling. "Admit it."

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Eeeeeee about covers it!"

Marty started walking into the second floor common room to get some leftover Thai food from last night when he saw everyone floating.

And then realized he was floating.

"Well this is different," Marty said pushing off the couch to go to the fridge.

"This happened on the sixth floor once. If you notice anyone disappearing or a giant death monster, call me."

Having finally managed to break free of the weird loop in space-time that had kept him trapped in 225 all afternoon, Bridge heads to the common room.

"Um..." he says eloquently, as his feet leave the ground.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Sixth floor isn't the only one with wacky gravity."

Rikku peered into the second floor common room and giggled. She might be having a crappy day, but man! That looked like fun!

"How are you guys doing that?"

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Fandom weirdness."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Rikku!" Bridge waves. "Hi!"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn was totally upside down and waving at Rikku through her hair. "Maybe all the emo gathered in one place and is making an anti-gravity cushion or something! Come on up!"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec totally walked in after Rikku, but didn't notice until a couple steps in, when he was going up instead of forward. "Whoa, hey!" There may have been some flailing.

After the Gravity Returns

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

At some point during the evening, right when Kawalsky was trying to do a mid-air somersault actually, gravity kicked in.

Kawalsky landed on his head with a thud. He said a few words that weren't allowed to be used in a public community, but if they were translated to Mandarin, it would probably sound a lot like Principal Washburn swearing when she'd been shot by someone she really doesn't like.

Only, y'know, manlier.

"EEeeeeeeeeeee!" And Dawn was down on the floor, groaning and staring up at the ceiling, suddenly grateful she hadn't landed on her head, the coffee table, or anybody else. "Ow. Owowow. Sudden attack of gravity. I'll just lie here and be sore."
