Ninth feather [Video] backdated to the 13th

[charcoalfeather]

Hey... it's Rakka.

[Indeed it is, complete with a tired smile and a little wave. She appeared to be on a couch in the Dians's place, the screen resting on her lap.]

So I've been thinking, about a lot of things. It's not like there is a lot going on, and I should probably be doing something about trying to fly and stuff. I already have a way to do it.

[The screen jerked as she turned it, eventually showing the rocket boots Octavia had created for her.] I just need to figure out how to do it with my wings.

[Still, she looked... conflicted. Her eyes went from the boots, to the screen and back. She let out a yawn.]

Maybe... I'll do it another time. It's really hot outside anyways.

[She can just put it off and watch anime, right?]

I might be able to help you. I've figured out a few things about mine.

[ It should be noted that it doesn't look like Alexi is currently sporting the enormous wings he had the last time he made a post to the network. ]

[charcoalfeather]

[Oh hey, she remembers you.] Oh, you... I got you to get wings, didn't I?

[It had been so long ago, but she could still recall watching as he grew his own pair of wings. She had freaked out quite a bit.]

But... where are they?

Re: video;

[saviorsoul]

Yeah, but it's okay now. I've figured them out. I got back an echo that lets me draw them back when I'm not using 'em.

You really can fly with those? I mean, logically they look kind of small to be enough to lift a whole person, but...

[He fiddles with his hair, pursing his lips.]

I guess things could work differently in your world.

[charcoalfeather]

Well, uh, I haven't really tried yet. [She had to admit that.] And another person said the same thing.

[And she still doesn't remember anyone flying, unless you count talking about it.]

Yeah, it could work differently there than here. Angels are weird.

[kyoumibukai]

Well, hmm. Probably be careful then. Like... don't jump off a building or something?

Every world's got their own weird stuff going on, I think. Mine had people injecting themselves with the world's memories and becoming monsters.

Would you mind putting it off until we can get you a parachute?

Just as a precaution! If you don't mind!

Video

[charcoalfeather]

[Oh, you guys.... Your hearts are in the right place.

Your minds, only sort of.]

Uh, yeah I could probably do that. I will probably need some protection before I try this.

[Flying just sounds more and more dangerous the more she hears about it. Maybe being a grounded angel wasn't so bad?]

Do you think a parachute would help?

Video

[originaloddcouple]

Well, I guess we could get you a helmet too! I'd probably be handy if more aliens show up too...

Parachutes would probably mostly be just an emergency measure.

Just if a wing malfunctions or something.

[espigeonage]

Boots? Huh.

Just don't fall off a roof.

[Video]

[charcoalfeather]

Yeah, rocket boots. They're going to help me fly.

[Just like out of her Japanese animes. They even seem to be painted red and have flames on them. Rakka had to admit they looked cool.]

I hope I don't. I'll try to have some protection before I try this. Especially if I jump off a roof or something.

[espigeonage]

If you say so! I'm not sure how stable that'd be.

Right, right. Are you afraid of heights?

[drama8om8]

Try the fucking boots already! Or I will get majorly offended by how incredibly callous and ungrateful you are being after I spent precious time and grist making those for you. Do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it!

video;

[charcoalfeather]

I will! I promise I'm going to use them.

[She really wants to use them, can't you see it on her face?]

It's just really hot. I don't really want to go outside.

video;

[drama8om8]

Know what will cool you off? Soaring effortlessly through the air while flipping off all the groundbound losers! Plus the higher you get the colder it is, right? Because like. Snow on mountains. And junk.

Basically you need to fly up a mountain and make a snowman and take selfies and post them to Facebook and majorly weird people out.

[Voice]

[gobybessie]

You're hesitating?

[Voice]

[charcoalfeather]

Yeah...

[She exhales slowly, a small amount of worry in her voice.]

I'm just kind of nervous about flying I guess.

[Voice]

[gobybessie]

Any particular reason why? Many people would jump at the chance.

[gunhearted]

Are they big enough? --F-for flyin', I mean!

[charcoalfeather]

Ah....

[ She turns to the side, putting her wings in full view.]

Actually, someone already said that they're too small to make me fly. But, maybe there's magic or something that's going to help them fly that I didn't get back.

[She's not about to question what is and isn't possible yet.]

[gunhearted]

Would you really want to do that, even? I-I mean... it seems dangerous.. I'd... be really afraid of falling...

[onecream_fivesugar]

[Her eyes go wide with excitement when she pops up on the video feed.]

Wait-You're going to fly with your wings and a pair of rocket shoes!?

Can I just say that is soooooooooo cool! I want to see when you do! You'll let me see, right? Right!?

Video

[charcoalfeather]

[Whoa. That's some serious excitement there.

But. Yeah. Gotta have to join Robyn in the excitement.]

Hehe, yeah! I'm going to see if I can really fly!

[Rakka smiles excitedly. It's contagious.]

It's awesome! I can't wait to give it a try. You could come watch, I guess.

[jasminebloominginshadow]

I could definitely help with that, if you want.

[charcoalfeather]

Huh?

[Oh, hey there.]

Help?
