[Today is not a good day for John. Not only is it storming all around, buth e's been seeing things. He knows that they're fake. Simply echoes. But he's seeing things like Sinestro fleeing into a store. It may be fake, but he can't help but go looking anyway. Unfortunately as he does... something happens. Something unexpected. His ring seems to be ( Read more... )

[Well then, it's a good thing that Diana catches sight of his unfortunate ascent into the air. The moment it's obvious that he's not in control of his own actions, she drops the umbrella she's holding and launches into the air, urging herself to go faster. Figures that this happens in the middle of a thunderstorm.

She reaches him with time to spare, catching him well before he hits the ground.]

[Throughout his fall, John does his best as he goes twisting through the air to get his ring to work again, but with no such luck. He's at the point of bracing himself for death when... he stops in mid air as someone catches him. He lets out a sigh of relief and glances back behind him.]

Whew. That was a damn close call.

You've got that right. Something's been causing my ring to misfire. The thing short circuited while I was in mid air.

[he doesn't bother with a filter either, for the moment]

Oi...what happened?

greenlongjohns June 15 2010, 01:32:21 UTC

I'm flying through the air. [... oh wait.] Not of my own volition.

[...well, shit]

Hnn. That could be a number of things.

[a pause as his mind splits over a dozen different possibilities. Time to play twenty questions.]

Was it sudden, when you were already in the air? [pause] Would you say you were flung, or pulled?

greenlongjohns June 15 2010, 01:41:21 UTC

It's happened while I've been on the ground and in the air. I thought it was my powers on the fritz at first.

[The second question gives him pause as he thinks about it.] I'd say it was more like I was pulled than being thrown.
