Soul Rhapsody

[Action]
[For the past few weeks, Jr. has been trying - and failing - to get his shiny new floating skateboard under control. It hadn't taken him long to realize that the thing just kept rising, with no way of steering it back down. First, rocks were tied to it. Then scraps of metal. He even tried his bed, but that didn't work so well - not only did it defeat the purpose of zooming around on an awesome floating skateboard, but it left him without a place to sleep at night, and was more trouble than it was worth.

Never one to give up easily, Jr. had his brain working overtime to find a way of making this work. And so he had fashioned a series of metal tracks with a kind of pulley attached to the skateboard, and he added more to the tracks every day. Eventually he had enough to make a track around the apartments that headed toward the forest. And so the residents of Sirocco would likely see and/or hear a short redhead laughing happily as he zooms around his makeshift track on his floating skateboard.]

Does anybody know what happens to the people that leave here? Do they just vanish, or what? That white-haired guy and his huge dog have been missing for a while now...

[This is Rex carefully examining the metal tracks that Jr. constructed, and Jr. himself using it.]

Not bad, for a starting point.

Any reason for the pulley in the first place? Looks redundant from where I'm standing.

Seriously? How? I don't see any propulsion on it. Looks just like a...

...okay, well, it sorta looks just like a regular skateboard.

Huh. [Rex looks at it again.] I bet you could take advantage of that! Like, jets that point straight up that you can use to push it back down! Then it could be like a roller coaster, without the tracks taking up space everywhere!

[...aaaand now he's excited. this can only end badly.]

We're gonna need metal, something to weld with, and wires.

[Probably.

He thinks.

He's not sure, but he has a really good hunch about this idea, and he's pretty sure it'll work!]

Sure, so long as I've got the right materials!

[HAHAHAHAHAno.]

Oh come on! What makes you think I'll mess it up?

During the early parts of his experimentation, Dave watches Jr. floating past while awkwardly hanging to a skateboard that has achieved near neutral buoyancy by having rocks tied to it.]

Dude!

I warned you about air!

I warned you bro.

That thing is basically useless unless you want to go up.

[identity profile] has-a-blog.livejournal.com 2011-12-25 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
It doesn't go down. I told you.

[identity profile] has-a-blog.livejournal.com 2011-12-25 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
How's that working for you?

[identity profile] notaluchador.livejournal.com 2011-12-24 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds like they just vanish. I came back, but I don't remember what happened between the time I left and the time I came back... so I'm thinking the memory gods here like to mess with us.

[identity profile] notaluchador.livejournal.com 2011-12-27 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not saying we poof into thin air or something ridiculous. But at the same time, I don't know where we'd go either.

[identity profile] notaluchador.livejournal.com 2011-12-30 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
... I wouldn't put it out of the question. I just hope your friends remember it better than I do.

Uwaa! Cool!

Mokona wants to ride, too!
