But I can't walk on my hands that far!

What's it for?

[faroffdream]

Ice cream!

[aettir]

Huh, that's a pretty good deal. Maybe you can make it if you walk faster!

[faroffdream]

Tried. But I just ended up tripping faster too.

[aettir]

You tried pushing away from the fall yet?

[faroffdream]

[ Considering pause... ]

How do you mean?

[aettir]

You know. Drop your legs in the opposite direction that you're falling and try to get your balance back!

[faroffdream]

Oh!

[ A pause while he tries it out just because---

---and then his voice is coming in a little...scrunched? Compressed? Well, he's upside down so a bit nasally at least... ]

...hey that's neat. Do you walk on your hands a lot?

[aettir]

I had to watch a guy figure out how to run on 'em a while ago. Is it working?

1/2

[faroffdream]

Run?!

Glad I don't have to do that...

[faroffdream]

But yeah, it's work---

[ EXCEPT that is how to jinx anything, so this is the sound of a less than dignified fall. Sort of a fwump sound. Sort of. ]

[aettir]

-shit, forgot the sports jinx. You okay?

[faroffdream]

[ A pause later the device clicks on again with some keening technological feedback! ]

Whoa, um yeah I'm fine. Sorry. I always forget about that jinxing thing.

[aettir]

That's how it gets its victims. Nobody sees a jinx coming 'til after they say it!

[faroffdream]

[ A good natured laugh where a shrug is pretty much implied. ]

True, and it wouldn't be very jinx like to give a warning I guess.

[ Pause intermittently interrupted with sound as he gets to his fee--- er, hands, again. ]

So, you have to do any weird tasks today?
