The roof, late afternoon/evening, Friday

Time for dorm-jumping! Dinah had plenty of gear out for rappelling, and already had her vest and harness on. This time the Sixth Floor wasn't in the middle of construction, so it was going to be a lot easier. Plus, a couple people had promised they'd try it. At least once.

For now, there was grinning off the edge and waiting for people to show up.

[~~Wait for the~~ OCD up!]
[Up earlyish for great justice. It's an open roof, so anyone's welcome to drop by, or assume Dinah told you. Or to see people out your window - ping in to the floor comment with a link to an already-open room or CR, or comment from your floor. This is how it worked the last couple times.]

...wave to the nice people.

Hoshi was reading in her room when she heard a noise outside the window. She looked outside, then smirked and opened the window. "Just in case anyone gives up before the ground, you can come in through here!" she called out.

Dinah chortled, slowing her descent. "So if we wanted to take a break, then go back out, that'd be okay?"

"I'd have no problem with it," said Hoshi. "In fact, I'd be happy to make you a pot of tea while you take a break."

Dinah steadied herself on the wall with a grin. "Ooooor, you could join us on the roof? It's fun!"

"I don't know," said Hoshi, warily looking out the window. "The ground just seems so far away from here, and it might be worse on the roof."

"Awwww, it's safe, look," Dinah said, swinging closer. "Rope. Carbiner. Auto-lock. You can't fall far as long as you've got that. And I'd catch you! Really."

"I really don't think I'm the climbing type," said Hoshi. "But hey, I'll be happy to give moral support, as long as there's a solid floor beneath me."

Dinah snickered at the almost-pun, and said, "Hmm, maybe a cup of tea?" She'd like to try drinking it while twirling from the line.

"I'll get started on it right away, then," said Hoshi. "I wouldn't want to leave you hanging." There was no way she could keep herself from giggling at the pun.

Dinah giggled, swaying the breeze. "I'll just hang out 'til then."

Luckily, it wouldn't take too long since Hoshi had her hot plate and tea kettle right there in her room. "Any lemon or sugar with your tea?" she asked Dinah as the kettle started to whistle.

"Lemon, please," Dinah said as elegantly as she could, nose in the air.

"No problem," said Hoshi, adding a slice of lemon to the tea cup. "Are you sure you'll be able to hang on with a hot cup of tea in your hands?"

"I've got the gloves," Dinah said, holding one hand out and wiggling her fingers. "That'll keep the worst of it away." She smiled. "This is so cool!" She couldn't really explain why, maybe something about the level of nonchalance she was faking. So fun.

Hoshi snickered. "Here's your tea. This has to be one of the most unusual tea parties I've ever been to," she added.

"Totally." Dinah took the cup and toasted her with it, one hand still clutching the rope. "Thank you and cheers, dahling!"

"Feel free to drop in anytime! My window is always open," said Hoshi.
