Leo
“I know.” Footsteps in the distance clicked faintly in his ears. A buzzing radio signal flared nearby. The security team no doubt. Leo looked at Rory, eyes narrowing. “You ever climbed a brick wall?”
He took the Kid’s wide eyes as an answer. Leo leaning against a classroom door as he fished around for the master key. Two seconds later they were tumbling into an empty study lab. Silvia crossed the room to throw open open the window sash as Leo locked the door behind them.
“Cam, we’re twenty-eight feet off the ground. Third story.” Silvia called back over her shoulder.
Leo grimaced and started rummaging around the classroom for something to serve as a rope. “What’s the landing look like?”
“There’s a sidewalk, and a line of bushes a foot from the wall.”
There wasn’t a rope. Leo tried to rub his forehead, but his helmet got in the way. He glanced at the door. More radio buzzing.
“I can climb down with Quincy, and I could probably catch Sis if it came down to it, but you’re too big for that, kid.” His fists opened and closed as he stared at the window. He slowly nodded. “Do you still have those gecko gloves I gave you earlier?”

Rory
Rory leaned out the window and swallowed hard. He had never really been afraid of heights…… but still…… well, there was a difference between being afraid of heights and being afraid of a suicide mission. “That’s a long way down,” he murmured.
“I can climb down with Quincy, and I could probably catch Sis if it came down to it, but you’re too big for that, kid.” Leo said. Rory turned around and looked at Leo. The young man glanced toward the door and then back to the window. His fists opened and closed as he stared at the window. He slowly nodded. “Do you still have those gecko gloves I gave you earlier?”
“Gecko gloves?” Rory repeated. Then he remembered. “These?” He asked, pulling the gloves from where he’d stuffed them in his pocket. “Yeah, I have them. What do you want me to do? climb down the wall with them?” He laughed uneasily.

btw, if you tell me you’ve never seen this scene I’m just gonna laugh at how crazy imaginations can be. There really is nothing new under the sun.

Felicity
“Should we go find him?”

Not expecting anyone to respond if they don’t want to. Just a character update.
The Twins
“I am never eating cafeteria food again.”
Ellie flicked a mushy, disintegrating noodle off her hand and into the drain with a shiver of disgust.
Eddie scrubbed away at a pot in the sink next to her, her face determined.
“Come on, just try not to think about it! The faster we clean these, the faster we can be done and go to our dorm!”
Ellie examined her soup ladle skeptically. “Fairly certain this punishment is by the hour, not by the dish, Ed.”
After a few more minutes of quiet, intense scrubbing, Eddie dropped the things in her hands into the sink, making several loud clangs. Ellie jumped and almost fell off her step stool.
“Where are Chase and Sebastian? Didn’t they get the same sentence? They should be suffering with us.”
“Where’s Dante?” Ellie added.
“I never expected him to come.” Ed returned to her dishes with a huff.
Handwashing dishes makes me grumpy, so by extension it makes my girls grumpy lol
“Nothing says autumn like slurpin’ apples.” -my uncle
Poor Ellie, especially, she shouldn’t have to touch wet noodles anymore. Gross. I wrote a poem about washing dirty dishes, once. It’s a little weird, but I’ll post it in a poem thread
“Everything is a mountain”
Where are Chase and Sebastian? Didn’t they get the same sentence?
Touché, I will see to that when my roleplay brain starts working again.
“Everything is a mountain”
Oh my. No, I’ve never seen that.
I stole the idea from my brother, who has also never seen that.

Fork the GorkIt’s just so funny. People are like “Look at this amazing invention I just came up with” and then someone else is like “look at this amazing invention I just came up with!” And it’s the same thing. lol. When those movies came out the Gecko Glove Scene was a HUGE thing. Now you two recreated it! Love it!
Well hey, now you got to visualize your gloves in action! lol.
(btw, did that scene make your hands sweat?)

True, true. I think I can claim my paralysis gloves though (although that was inspired by some medical stuff).
(No? But I was cringing inside and wide-eyed)
First Grand Historian of Arreth and the Lesser Realms (aka Kitty)
Fork the GorkYou know what makes that scene even scarier? He actually climbed the real building.
There were safety nets below him, but still!!!!
Yeah, I think you can claim the paralysis gloves. Then again, who knows. Someone else probably came up with them. Or, years and years later, a kid will be writing a book and go, “I have this amazing totally original idea no one has ever thought of! Paralysis gloves!!!”
XD

Eeeeeeepers. Yeah no. I’m with Helmer on hights; they’re tolerable, but I’ll die with my feet on the ground, thank you very much.
XD

Fork the GorkI know!

Oh. Oh my. That’s kind of concerning in a “I definitely don’t need one of those” way.
