The Dorm Roof, Saturday evening

[laidanegg.livejournal.com]

Dick was fairly sure that the whole "volcano spewing ash" thing wasn't good, but, really, how often did you get to see something like this? Rarely if ever, that's how often.

That's why Dick was up on the roof, sitting on a lawnchair, under a patio umbrella (to keep him relatively rain and ash-free), taking pictures of the volcano. He figured he was mostly safe until there was lava anyway. In the meantime he'd get a good record of a potentially devastating natural phenomenon.

[OOC: Open in case there's anyone else ready to risk potential firey death or years of lung problems from inhaling ash in the name of a good view. Also, I don't know what it is with me and roofs today.

ETA: I was dragged off for a couple hours by a friend. Sorry for any slowness during that time!]

"It's not bad enough yet," Dick said. "But when it does I have a rebreather to help me out."

Ella frowned. "I don't know what a rebreather is," she admitted. "I can guess from the name, but I've never heard of one."

"If you've ever been scuba diving, it's kind of like the mouthpiece for that," Dick said, pulling the plastic thing out of his pocket. "I didn't expect to need it on the roof when I packed it, but there you go."

Ella reached for it to get a closer look. "I haven't been scuba diving," she admitted. "So you just put it in your mouth, and you can breathe anywhere?" It sounded magical to her.

Dick handed it over to her. "Yeah, it fits over your mouth and nose and it has enough oxygen for a couple hours. It's pretty handy."
