[ the video just starts off with a feed of a peaceful scene with white fluffy clouds, a blue sky, and a quiet humming in the background. there's some sounds of movement and the camera angle becomes all skewed and eventually the device falls to the ground revealing one Kururu standing on the very tips of the ledge of a roof. ]

It must be nice to be able to fly.

(ooc; cursed and will be majorly distracted )

[ and elliot, he doesn't fully know how to reply to that, because it's a little more philosophical than he's used to.

gruffly: ]

Then find a place where there aren't so many things in the way. Like a park.

B, but the wind up here is so much stronger than it is on the ground.

[ and almost on cue, there is a sudden gust of wind that blows past her and tousles her hair ]

[forhishonor]

[ man, why does he always end up talking to the weird people ]

Then go stand on a balcony with a railing or something! Just don't do it on a roof.

video;

[skypsalms]

[ dunno, just his luck mayhaps? ...and some silence before answering ]

Is...being on a roof really that bad?

video;

[forhishonor]

Yes! What if you fall?

[ and here we are, come full circle ]

video;

[skypsalms]

B, but I won't! I... I already said I wasn't planning on it.

video;

[forhishonor]

That doesn't mean you won't fall by accident!

[ don't question his logic. :( ]

video;

[skypsalms]

Then... [ she gets distracted for a moment by a bird that flies by and an idea hits her ]

Th, then come up here with me!

video;

[forhishonor]

Wh--what?

[ it's not that he doesn't like the suggestion, he's just very surprised! ]

video;

[skypsalms]

No..? Is that...also no good?

[ ;-; sorry for such lateness ]

video;

[forhishonor]

[ noooo, no worries at all! ♥ ]

It's-- [ adf;ljkasfSIGH. ] ..Where are you?

video;

[skypsalms]

H, huh? Oh!

Um... I'm...not sure. B, but it's tallest building in the City as far as I can see!

video;

[forhishonor]

[ this is just great ]

That's it? [ SIGH ] Fine. Don't do anything stupid in the meantime!

video;

[skypsalms]

[ apologies ;; ]

Alright... [ voice trailing and she looks over to the side ] U, um what counts as "stupid"?

video;

[forhishonor]

[ ......................... ]

How do you not know what counts as 'stupid'?

[ speeeeeding up a bit because he is kind of really concerned about this girl now. ]

video;

[skypsalms]

W, well... I, it's more like... [ she fumbles with words and fidgets uncomfortably ]

Th, there are a lot of things that could be...stupid. Depending on how you looked at things.

video;

[forhishonor]

So then don't do any of them!

[ his world is still, to some extent, rather black and white. ]

video;

[skypsalms]

O, okay then.

[ so just just stands here rocking back and forth on her heels ]

video;

[forhishonor]

[ it's only a few minutes later that Elliot skids to a halt in front of said building, and cranes his neck up to stare ]

You're still up there?

video;

[skypsalms]

[ she's tempted to look down for him when she sees him looking up... figuring that could be more dangerous, she kneels down on and over the ledge and looks down to see if she can spot him.

so much for not doing anything stupid ]

Yes, I am... Can you see me from up here..?

video;

[forhishonor]

[ she looks to still be okay, which is a relief. he'd been hoping that she would have gotten off the damn roof already, but it doesn't seem like that's the case. ]

Of course I can see you. There aren't any other buildings with blonde girls standing at the stop.

[ now, what to do next.... ]

How'd you even get up there? Stairs?

video;

[skypsalms]

Really..? [ for some reason, she finds this to be rather surprising... not sure exactly why but, she does. ]

U, um... [ she looks away for a moment--thinking--and leans a little too far off of the edge for most people's comfort ] I... I think so. O, or well there's an elevator for most of it.

action;

[forhishonor]

[ dfaljdsf!! ]

--Don't move!

[ and then he's frantically dashing inside and sprinting up the stairs - screw elevators - and dammit she better still be there when he bursts through that final door--

--and she is, and all he can do is bend over, huffing and exhausting. ]

Don't... [ huff huff ] ...do this... [ pant ] ...again.

action;

[skypsalms]

[ she almost falls over when he tells her not to move all of a sudden, but she keeps her balance on the edge... her knees were really sore by the time he showed up huffing and puffing as she remained kneeling the entire time.

she looks over her shoulder in order to speak to him. her guilt gnaws at her when she sees how tired he is ]

I... I'm sorry.

action;

[forhishonor]

[ and Elliot feels a twinge of guilt himself when he sees the guilt on her own face. he waves a hand, trying to brush it all off. ]

Just don't do it again. [ It's another minute before he's mostly back to normal, at which point he takes the moment to glance up at the sky, which does actually seem a lot clearer up here. ]

....Huh. Things do look different up here.
