Top Floor, Going Up! (Reira)

[Reira]

"This whole roof..is a..lightening rod...,' Reira muttered, blinking and gulping down a wave of panick. This day couldn't get any worse could it? Okay, now she really really wanted to get off this roof! Any doubts of him not being able to teleport properly was gone. It was that or nothing. She asked if he could perform the phase, he said he could.

It's not too high.

Just 40 or more stories up..

With strong winds and pouring rains...

Can't be too hard to get down ahahaha, right....

They made their way to the edge of the rooftop, Reira focusing on not slipping on the slick metal. Looking over the edge, Reira felt her stomach prance about like it was on drugs. No time to worry about that though. Aternity had taken his coat back, and Reira immediately felt the cool caress of the wind and rain. She grabbed his hand greatfully, like it was her only lifeline...well technically it was. He could always just abandon her up here, saving himself. She had met a kind person indeed.

"Alright Reira. I recommend you hang on."
"Right, no problemo," she said, squeezing his hand tighter. By this point in time, she was used to the feeling of teleporting..but wait..why did they have to stand so close to the edge? The could have stood at a safer vantage, and just as easily have teleported.

Oh...
Hell..

Aternity had jumped, dragging her along with him. Reira screamed long and loud. She was bad with heights, so it was only natural. Her scream sounded so loud to her that she couldn't hear the raging of the elements.

She felt her fingertips slip from him, a very very bad thing! She had to be in physical contact with him in order for her to phase along with him. Frantically, Reira flailed her arms and legs about, almost like she was swimming, to once again grab onto him, any part of him. Reaching out, she got hold of his arm again.

The ground was approaching faster and faster. Holding onto him with a deathgrip, she shut her eyes and held her breath, awaiting their fate.

[Aternity]

"Yup, the entire thing." Aternity said, hearing her muttering over the roof. This sucked, he didn't want to jump, it was dangerous to do so in such a large storm...but it was either that.

Or, be fried to a crisp. And Aternity didn't feel like becoming next weeks fried human. And so, in a defiant gesture to Mother Nature. He jumped, dragging Reira right along with him. The screaming during the fall was intense, at least from Reira it was. Aternity had the appearance of a calm demeanor, as if he'd done this before, but in all honesty, his heart was racing. This wasn't the most fun day at St. Paragons, that's for sure.

The MAC glasses wired to his head were counting down the altitude...a number ever approaching zero. It was like the countdown to their deaths, although, in a moment, Aternity would be cheating death, or at least trying. At least once, Reira accidently slipped, flailed, and clawed back onto his arm...

The wind kept rushing past, and the only thing telling he was still alive was the pain of Reira's claws digging into him. Aternity finally gained a grip on his surroundings, and at about 150 feet...

*FOOMP!*
...
...
-Thud!-

Had they died?

Aternity was blacked out for a moment, until he came to, stuck. The rain finally continued it's barrage...and Reira was still clinging to his arm. However, they couldn't move. Aternity looked down.

"Aw, damn."

He'd phased them into the ground, to their knees.

What a mess.

[Reira]

...and then the falling sensation ended. Her stomach was back down where it was supposed to be and she was pretty sure she wasn't dead. She could feel her feet on a solid surface. Cracking her eyes open, she was elated to see they had made it!

"I'm so glad to be back on the ground! Wait a go Aternity!! I could hug you right now!!..No I'm going to hug you right now!" Yep she was real happy she wasn't the splatter that could have been everywhere. After she literally pried her fingers off his arm, she gave him an appreciative hug.

Now it was time to get out of this rain. Dear god, she would be terribly sick tomorrow morning. She could just see it. Her carrying a box of tissue everywhere, coughing, and eating chicken noodle soup. The soup sounded real good at the moment.

Attemping to walk, she was shocked to find that her feet wouldn't move. Looking at them, she realized she was knee deep in dirt. Wobbling, she fell to on her butt and groaned. "Well Aternity... it looks like we have another problem..."

As if to mock them, Mother Nature had decided to stop the raining. It was letting up, becomming a slight drizzle, with not a single boom of thunder or lightening to be heard...to think that they had rushed off the roof in haste, only to have the storm stop minutes after their lethal jump. Typical.

"It's my luck! The gods hate me..," she mumbled, loving the mushy mud she was sitting on...yeah, right. She then found herself laughing. "What an interesting day, hey," she said nudging him. Now that the danger was over and done with..this whole thing, was pretty funny.

"You know anyone who owns a shovel," she grinned.
