Boom-De-Yada Science - Danger Shop, Wednesday, Period 1 [Week 3]

[worsethanaunts.livejournal.com]

The Doctor didn't say hello today. Very rude of him. Instead, he launched into a lecture about why the sky was blue, the different types of clouds and the layers of Earth's atmosphere.

The important part was that while this was going on, they were all standing on a vast field of clouds. Yes, up in the sky. "Now," he said once he talked non-stop without allowing interruptions (anyone who tried got a single finger - no, not that one - pointed at them to shush them while he prattled on about the topic at hand), "you might notice we're standing on clouds. They're not normally solid, so don't try this at home. The Danger Shop has been reprogrammed so that the clouds are solid and bouncy." He bounced up and down to demonstrate. It was like a gigantic outdoor trampoline only fluffy and soft. "You won't fall through. Try not to run into the invisible walls." They were still there, after all, even though they couldn't be seen.

And with that, he started bouncing around.

Hyuuga Hinata

Listen to the Lecture

[worsethanaunts.livejournal.com]

Or gawk at standing ON CLOUDS. It's a lovely clear day above the cloud line and the sun is shining nicely.

Gawking, for once, took precedence over actually listening.

She'd feel bad about that once she got over the whole... standing on clouds thing. Yes.

Lindsay really wasn't listening to the lecture. She wasn't sure how she was expected to while standing on clouds.

This perspective wasn't strange at all to Raven, since she often flew as her Soul-Self, but she rarely went this high.

Clark was staring and maybe saying "Um," with a freaked out look on his face while he tried to remember that this wasn't real and there was no need to be afraid of heights while in the Danger Shop.

Diana tuned most of the lecture out. It helped that she had already heard a good chunk of it on the Discover Channel. She was just going to stare at the clouds.

Claudia knew all this already. So she was crouching down to see how manipulable the Danger Shop's clouds were.

Could one make a cloud-man? These were important questions.

Peter stood there for a moment, testing the bounciness of the clouds.

Eventually, he just flopped backwards, because he could.

Zatanna was half trying to listen, half trying to jump as high as she could. Had she possessed another half, it would have been devoted not tot fall on her classmates.

...Nah, they were going to be fine.

While the Doctor was all "yada, yada, science", Kurt was poking at the clouds with his foot, trying to figure out just how solid they were. He had already started bouncing by the end of the lecture.

Spock already knew all of this information. He did have to admit that the virtual reality created here was impressive, if inobedient to the laws of physics.

Bounce!

[worsethanaunts.livejournal.com]

Bounce around, inspect the clouds, see how high you can go and try not to break any bones since the safeties won't prevent that if you fall the wrong way.

Re: Bounce!

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

Like anything she did, Hinata started her own bouncing slowly and carefully. Little hops at first, barely more than regular steps, and gradually increased the strength she put into bouncing up.

Re: Bounce!

They were ON CLOUDS.

CLOUDS.

Really, all that was to be done was to sing about it.

Look at what's happened to me,
I can't believe it myself.
Suddenly I'm up on top of the world,
should have been somebody else.

Believe it or not, I'm walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me.

The song gained something if you jumped from cloud to cloud while singing it.

Bouncing around on simulated clouds, in Lindsay's opinion, was not a bad way to spend class time. Not at all.

Re: Bounce!

[wrongkindofsith]

If there hadn't been an audience Cara might have risked trying to bounce, as it was she was more rocking back and forth on her heels.

Re: Bounce!

[knowsnokungfu.livejournal.com]

This? So much better than scrambling down a cliff and getting eaten by a void monster... thing. His kind of outdoorsy.

Chuck was bouncing, yes.

Re: Bounce!

[trigons_child]

Raven wasn't the type to bounce from cloud to cloud, but she did gingerly take a few steps and rock up and down.

Re: Bounce!

[oops-mbad.livejournal.com]

Diana did not need to be told twice to bounce. She was definitely not saying "Boing, boing," under her breath.

Re: Bounce!

It took Helen a moment to get into it, but then she was bouncing around happily.

Talk to the Doctor

[worsethanaunts.livejournal.com]

If you can catch up to him. Bounce bounce bounce!

Talk to the TAs

[worsethanaunts.livejournal.com]

One who will love to bounce, the other probably not so much.

Re: Talk to the TAs

[wrongkindofsith]

Three guesses which one of those Cara was. Though she did like the view.

OOC

[worsethanaunts.livejournal.com]

BOUNCY.

Re: OOC

[notmyownage]

DAMMIT, NOW I WANT TO PLAY ON A MOONBOUNCE.

Have you ever been on one in the rain? The creases in the bouncy floor start to foam. Also, there is EVEN MORE FALLING.

It's wondrous.
