An Important Question [post Time Ripples]

[kickpushbaby]

 [ Are you tired of random kids popping up with not clear explanation?  Too bad here's another one: small, red headed, freckly and currently about 10 feet up in the air.  Because flight ring. ]

Hey, these rings are super cool, but where can I get a skateboard?  Those still exist in the future, right?  Do you guys have hover boards?  Or like rocket powered skateboards?  That would be way, way cooler.

[ Pause for slight altitude adjustment while the nameless kid drifts aimlessly through a doorway.]

This place is really huge, though.  How do you guys even get anywhere when you're in a hurry?  They said I'm supposed to have superpowers, but I've tried teleporting and shit and nothing's different.  How do you tell if you have powers?

[ These aimless questions could probably carry on for a while, but luckily for everyone, she gets distracted by something in the hall she's drifting down and ends the transmition without much further ado. ]

[ Not tired so much as vaguely concerned about the influx of small children. The accepted age of adulthood might only be 14 here, but Joey worries. Some of them seem too young. ]

Skateboards exist, and I believe they hover. I take the elevators when I'm in a hurry, though. They go sideways and diagonally.

[ She is totally an age of adulthood whatever that is, shhh. But yeah, she is pretty small. ]

Wait, there are elevators? Where the hell are they?

text unless otherwise noted.

[wallsofjericho]

They're everywhere. The easier question is where you are.

[ Attached is a map of a couple of the more popular decks, with the appropriate doors marked off. ]

Sweet, I gotta try this out.

[ please hold while Jesse zooms around to the nearest elevator and starts pushing buttons. ]

...This is just an elevator.

[ She sounds a little offended. ]

[wallsofjericho]

It's not just an elevator. You don't feel the motion because lift has its own artificial gravity.

[kickpushbaby]

So... It's an extra boring elevator.

[wallsofjericho]

Boring in practice, exciting in concept? I don't think you've thought through what an "exciting" elevator ride would mean.

[kickpushbaby]

Uh... Something really fast with jets and stuff.

[ See, she's thought this through. ]

[wallsofjericho]

Maybe in an amusement park. What if someone's using them to transport something fragile?

[kickpushbaby]

They don't got bubble wrap in the future?

[wallsofjericho]

Would you bubble wrap something to take it to another floor?

[kickpushbaby]

Sure, if I was takin' a rocket elevator.

[wallsofjericho]

I remain content that it is not a rocket elevator.

Imagine if something tripped the emergency break. You could be killed.
