[It's already dark, almost midnight when this video starts. There's a wire between the Warehouse and Building Three, suspended from the roof. Saya's boots are just visible in the video, high heeled and clearly belonging to no one else.

There's the sound of wind, too, as she steps out, heel on the wire. She doesn't step all the way so her weight is on it. Just part of the way.]

It's not enough.

What's not enough?

[synanthrope]

The wire.

I may have to just jump.

[worldofourown]

Is that a wise idea?

[ Broken bones, etc. ]

[synanthrope]

I doubt that matters.

[worldofourown]

You're the one jumping, Miss Saya. Not me.

[ Le shrug. ]

[Surprisingly not panicking]

Why don't you try it on a unicycle.

audio;

[synanthrope]

I don't ride unicycles.

[intheblanks]

Which would add to the challenge.

audio;

[synanthrope]

I'm not interested in the challenge.

I'm interested in the flight.

[intheblanks]

I'm joking.

You could always look out a different kind of silk.

[misfortunes]

Perhaps a longer distance, then.

[synanthrope]

Is that a joke?

[misfortunes]

You could take it as one. I suppose it depends on what you've planned to do.

[synanthrope]

Isn't that obvious?

[misfortunes]

To practice, to take a particular shortcut, to fall. . . there are a few choices!

Saya?

[This is... a bit much for her, right now. The whole day, has been. A bit much.]

What... What are you doing?

voice;

[synanthrope]

Imagining flight.

voice;

[dignity_misery]

I don't think that's a good estimation.

voice;

[synanthrope]

I know.

I should just step off.

voice;

[dignity_misery]

That's falling, not flying.

[signatures]

Erm.

Can't you just go back to surfing or something similar? [ At least that other you didn't fancy high wires... ]

[synanthrope]

I don't surf, Mr. Eames.

[signatures]

I'd rather you did.

[synanthrope]

I want to fly.

[signatures]

Ask an angel to take you.
