Flight- Monday- 3rd period

Today the students in the Danger Shop were... on a plane. Like, in the back of it. Anyone who got nervous about things might want to start worrying about now.

"I did promise you guys several different types of flight," Jaina said, loudly enough to be heard over the engines. "Which today means you're going to be skydiving. This means once you guys are all settled with your equipment, I'm going to open this door, and you're going to jump. Normally when you do this, you have an expert tandem jumping with you. Since we're in the Danger Shop, we're going to skip that."

She gave them all a rundown of the equipment and how to put it on, along with how to pull the cord and when, and continued, "Remember, this being the Danger Shop, you can't get hurt doing this. You're going to land just fine. If for any reason you want to sit this one out, just say the word and you'll stay up here. Oh, and if anyone has normal flight powers, please don't cheat and use them here, okay?"

Cade made a little face. This wasn't flying as much as it was falling with style.

"I like the jetpacks better," he grumbled to himself as he got into his parachute.
solarhippie: ([pos] Cannot believe you said that.)

Karolina did look a little bit freaked out. Excited, too. But mostly freaked out.

Which was a little ridiculous for someone who did have flight powers but there you go. Freaking out wasn't a rational thing. Also, this was definitely more falling than flying.

Evan had never been skydiving, per se, but he had been in total free-fall with toxic feather-blades flying at him, and somehow this seemed like the saner choice.

He didn't look too concerned. He mostly looked like the parachute was a kind of novel idea, really.

Karina was pretty okay with the whole falling thing. She'd done worse and, well, they couldn't get hurt in here anyway so whatever.

She stretched, covering a yawn, then began getting herself into the parachute.

Victor wasn't exactly freaking out, but -- yeah, given the choice of any activity he could devise he wouldn't be hopping out of a plane today. He fidgeted restlessly with the strap of his parachute, waiting for his turn to come.

By this point in the term, Anakin managed to keep his disdain for the safety equipment to a tiny sigh, but come on, he'd been jumping off of buildings with no gear since he was a kid. How was this any different?

Don't answer that. Kid with way too much of his father's personality in him, here.

Topher kind of wanted to pass on this one. Could he pass?

"Uh," he kept saying, skirting toward the windows of the plane and peering down. Yeah, no, this was freaky.

Emily was right there with the 'falling not flying' sentiment. But she supposed this was better than trying to do so in an actual setting where she could get killed, so...

"Kind of wondering what happens if we just fall all the way down," said without much interest to find out, actually. Maybe they would bounce off the floor a la meta? Matrix.

Emily screamed for about two seconds before she was way into the adrenaline rush to make a sound.

She didn't get to find out what happened if you let yourself fall though; she wasn't that crazy after all.

Ace's combination of thrillseeking and semi-professionalism was...special.

Meaning she spent most of the lecture single, double, and triple-checking the parachute, then cut ahead of at least one person in line and only got about half of her "GERONIMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" out before plummeting away.
