[008] Falling is like this.

[mrsarcastic003]

[Video. Tim is on the beach, lying on the sand. His crutches--yes, John, he's using them again like he should--are lying on the ground next to him while his hands are laced behind his head. He's looking up at the sky.]I have a list. Of crazy, stupid, or whatever things that I've never done but kind of want to. Like dive off a cliff.

[John's just pleased as punch by the sight of those crutches.]

Fingers crossed we get a tattoo artist soon then.

[mrsarcastic003]

[He thought you might be pleased.]

You just want me to get in trouble when we get back.

[haha, as though dream tattoos will carry over.]

[drdaytimetelly]

I just want you to live your dream-life to its fullest.

[mrsarcastic003]

Tattoos, cliff-diving, and all? You're a good friend. [grin]

[notarrowette]

I think everyone has a list like that. But Tim. Cliff diving, seriously? You haven't done enough of that, or similar things? And correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure your rooftop jumping counts as flying, or as close as you can get without powers.

And if this is a dream, why don't we wake up at home?

[Private]

[mrsarcastic003]

Or at all? Not sure yet. Working on that.

Like I said--recreationally. All of my other cliff-diving has been for work. As for flying... I don't know. If it's a dream, shouldn't we be able to fly like Kon? Seems a little unfair, doesn't it?

[Private]

[notarrowette]

...At all. So that's your working theory? None of this is real? None of it, since the day we got here?

[Private]

[mrsarcastic003]

[Danger, Will Robinson!]

It's a theory. I honestly don't know, Cissie, and I'm not willing to rule anything out yet.

[victimofnoone]

I could help you with that tattoo if you change your mind.

[But she senses that underlying crazy. It's a kindred spirit thing.]

[Private]
Rooftops tonight? We could have a picnic. No falling involved.

[mrsarcastic003]

I'll let you know.

[Private]
I'd like that. And--good. I'm not really up for another fall at the moment. I don't think I'd land as well.

[victimofnoone]

You bring dinner. Do you need help getting up there?

Private

[mrsarcastic003]

[grin] I managed that haunted house thing without my crutches, I think I can get dinner up there on my own with them. I'll just use a bag or something.

[consultcriminal]

[And guess who can't resist?]

Always striving for the best, right? Not a sand castle...but a sand city.

[mrsarcastic003]

Always. I didn't build any sand castles when I was a kid. I feel like I should make up for lost time. Maybe I'll build a castle, too. I haven't decided yet.

[consultcriminal]

That's a tragic story.

But castles have cities, so you can do both.

[mrsarcastic003]

Oh? It wasn't an especially tragic childhood.

Maybe I will. Any requests?
