Physics... How Do They Work? - 002 [audio]

[The quick, light breaths coming from the audio indicate that the person speaking is performing some form of physical exertion.]

My apologies for any brusqueness, but I require the assistance of a healer immediately. I have just witnessed a person leaping from the edge of the tower in the Fourth District of Traverse Town. I do not know if they could have survived a fall from such a height, but if they have, I suspect my own first aid knowledge and potion will be insufficient to provide adequate care for such traumatic injuries. I am making all due haste to the area at this moment. Thank you for your attention.

It might have simply been the fastest way down.

[juniorganymedian]

[There is a small pause as Jeeves tries to figure out if this woman - Aqua, he recognizes the voice from his review of the communicator archives - is attempting humor. It seems unlikely.]

While I am certain an analysis of the available routes would doubtlessly prove you right, miss, a swift drop and a short stop are rarely conducive to carrying on activities after.

[wavesinherheart]

That's why you have to control it.

[juniorganymedian]

I beg your pardon, miss, but I was not aware you could control the fundamental laws of gravity in this realm.

[He means this honestly, but it's half a question. Because that's incredibly disconcerting if that's what she's driving at.]

[wavesinherheart]

Well, there are spells that can effect gravity. But I meant the fall, not gravity itself.

[juniorganymedian]

[Jeeves was already confused. Her reply only adds to this.]

I do not follow, miss. Presumably magic allowing flight or the slowing of a fall without the aid of wings or other devices would have some impact on gravity whether specific to the individual or to the world around them. Unless you mean to indicate this magic impacts the mass, surface area, or other aspect of the individual to slow them?

[wavesinherheart]

Ah... it would probably be best to show you? If you wanted, that is.

[juniorganymedian]

I would like to ensure the safety of the individual who jumped first, miss.

[While he is curious, Jeeves has a sense of priorities on the off chance the person really was attempting to take their own life for whatever reason.]

[wavesinherheart]

Alright. And if you do need a healer, let me know.

[juniorganymedian]

I will do so miss. Her Royal Highness, Princess Luna has agreed to aid me. I pray we will not require a second magical healer if, indeed, one is necessary at all.

[wavesinherheart]

Alright.

Threadjack whee

[unrecovered]

[What the actual hell.]

...that's normal where you're from, isn't it.

[You keypeople are so goddamn weird.]

*adds to the threadjacking* >_> [audio]

...Everyone's got their hobbies.

[Despite the nature of his comment, he does sound a bit perplexed.]

[unrecovered]

I didn't know breaking physics was a hobby.

[battleborndr]

Sounds like a blast.

[wavesinherheart]

It's... not uncommon, I guess.

[unrecovered]

...of course it isn't.

[wavesinherheart]

It just... makes sense. But if he'd fallen it wouldn't have been the same, really.

[unrecovered]

Right. Because gravity takes your intent into account.

[wavesinherheart]

It's not about gravity. It's about the landing.

[unrecovered]

How the hell does the landing have nothing to do with gravity?

[wavesinherheart]

It...just sort of does? I can't really explain very well.
