Roof of the Principal's Tower, Saturday Afternoon

[thatsweirdright]

It turned out that parachuting from a building that was, at best, seven stories tall... would not actually work. But that did not mean that Jason was in any way ready to give up on this stupid and possibly dangerous idea. Please. It just meant that he and Peridot had spent some time dragging a number of mattresses they'd found in storage somewhere out onto the lawn beside the Principal's Tower to serve as a makeshift landing pad.

"Okay," Jason said, jumping from the dorm roof on to the Principal's Tower, and then shimmying over to the edge. "Ready?"

[ooc: for that Gem mentioned in the post! and also any passers-by or people who might otherwise question these two's choices, after said Gem has pinged in!]

"It's for science," Peridot said, in a tone of voice that suggested that really, it ought to be obvious. "Science isn't ever a bad idea."

...

She glanced at Jason.

"Is it?"

Oh, Peridot. You were asking Jason, the Lord King of Bad Ideas himself, whether or not something was a bad idea?

"More importantly," he said. "It was my idea. I was the one who convinced Peridot we should try it." And hey, that wasn't even a lie! "So if anyone's getting in trouble over this, it should be me."

"Hey," Peridot protested, quite possibly missing all the heroic undertones of Jason's selfless act, here, "Don't hog all the credit!"

Why do you have to harsh his vibe like that, Peridot? Why? She was too short to elbow, so he settled for (gently) kicking her ankle.

"Shh!" he hissed under his breath, hoping she got the hint.
