WARNINGS: potential thoughts on cannibalism so warning for that.

[ The trip out on the train to one of the more rural stations has been uneventful. Annie holds the collapsed telescope in her lap along with a backpack, dressed in layers enough to cope with any unexpected cold. As the train pulls into the station, she looks up, indicating for her companions to stand and head for the doors. ]

It's going to be a bit of a walk. I hope you don't mind.

[ If they really mind then none of them were hardcore enough to take Ken's birthday present to Annie out for a test drive, but she doesn't think it's actually going to be a problem. They're going moongazing really, after she talked to Houka about what made more sense to look at with the telescope, and with the moon full, they couldn't be asking for a better night. ]

Can't you experience that in free fall inside an airplane?

[ She glances up into the night sky, musing out loud. She read about something like that. ]

[enucleation]

[ can they? Kaneki blinks before he laughs lightly ] I never did that, so I don't know. Maybe?

All I ever did was jump from a building and I could feel gravity alright.

[ he places his hands behind his head ] That sounds like fun, though. [ THEY NEXT ACTIVITY ]

[hunterrabbit]

[She's jumped off her fair share of buildings too, but that's a different kind of gravity experience.]

Then there're those people who jump out of planes. Skydiving or whatever it's called.

[lyingheart]

Yes... though you need to stay in the plane for the effect. The rest is an extended fall. You have to remember to breathe.

[ Or else suffocate while falling, which is a little amusing. Suffocate in a cloud. ]

[enucleation]

[ Kaneki hums ]

I used to be scared of doing any of that. [ Skydiving, bungee jumping, free fall ] But I think it sounds like fun now.

Annie, didn't you ump off a building with a parachute at some point?

[hunterrabbit]

Jumping off buildings on a regular basis would definitely help kill the fear factor, yeah. I don't know if I'd like relying on a parachute, though...[Because if it doesn't work? You're screwed, right?]

[lyingheart]

Yes, for charity. ... Also because one of the businesses I work for requested as much.

[ What can she say? A lot, but in the end, she'd gone along with it. ]

Checking parachutes over before packing them is part of the necessity. I don't know... free fall isn't so scary. Pulling the chord is exhilarating in it's own way. If nothing happened, then - well.

It's over faster than you can recognise.
