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. ]

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.
