Jackrabbit's leaning against the wall, upside down, his arms straining with his own weight and trying to balance, the blood rushing to his face.

What is he doing?

Who knows. It seemed like a neat thing to do so he tried it. He's like that.

*watches, leaning against the far wall with his arms crossed*

*with a wry grin* So... What's the story, morning glory?

[cat_inthe_sun]

"Trying to..." he breathes heavily through his nose. "See how long..." his face is quite purplish right now.

[mad_leprechaun]

*puts his elbows on his knees and looks at him upside-down*

10... 9... 8...

[cat_inthe_sun]

The muscles in his arms are twitching, and he breathes n through his nose, out through him mouth.

[mad_leprechaun]

7... 6... Am I counting too slow here, Jack? 5...

[cat_inthe_sun]

He'd been sitting here quite awhile as it was. Too slow? Naw.

It was getting harder to keep himself upright, but he was doing it. He continued his breathing, not responding to Sweeney aside from a little shake of the head.

[mad_leprechaun]

Huh. *sits down across from Jackrabbit at what he hopes is a safe distance once those long legs topple-- he takes out a cigarette and puts it in his mouth but doesn't light it*

4... 3...

[cat_inthe_sun]

He grunts, as if saying, okay, hurry up now.

[mad_leprechaun]

*cups a hand to his ear* What was that? Can't hear you, you're upside down. Did you know?

2...

[cat_inthe_sun]

His arms are visibly shaking now, his breathing heavy, setting a red faced glare in Sweeney's direction.

[mad_leprechaun]

It's quite impressive, Jack. You should think about joining the circus...

Oh, alright. 1!

[cat_inthe_sun]

He sets more strength on his arms, lowering himself enough to bend and set his feet on the ground before he moves his hands.

Upon standing, however, all the blood rushed from his head and he stumbled a little, dizzy. "Ow."

[mad_leprechaun]

*quickly gets up and takes him by the arm*

You alright there, Jack?

[cat_inthe_sun]

"Yeah," he stumbles against Sweeney. "Maybe should not have held out so long," he guessed.

[mad_leprechaun]

*snorts* Maybe not. But at least you've still got a healthy lead on me when it comes to the brain-cell count. C'mon. *guides him to a chair*

[cat_inthe_sun]

"Whoo," he says, flopping down on the chair, grinning with pride but a little disoriented. "Did you see that? Was a long time, I was there."
