Dorm Roof, Tuesday Evening

[missed_the_gate]

John was bored and had nothing to do. Okay, so bored was possibly not the right word after he'd listened to his voice mailHe wasn't sure where the bubble wrap had come from, but it was kismet. Huge quantities of varying sizes of bubble wrap plus one bored teen equaled some really incredible ideas. He drug the bubble wrap up to the roof along with

Gavin wandered up to the roof and frowned at John and his...materials.

"What are you doing?" he finally asked after watching John for a bit.

"I am testing the strength of bubble wrap," John said, tossing some at Gavin. "Pop some, I dare you to be able to stop."

Gavin caught the bubble wrap in one hand and eyed it critically. "You gotta be on the roof to test it? Is it affected by altitude?"

[missed_the_gate]

"No, I'm gonna wrap stuff in it and drop it off the roof," John looked over the edge to ensure he'd picked an area where no one would get hit.

Don't ask why Marco was on the roof. It's Marco. It was probably illegal. "Oh hey. Planning on jumping off?"

[missed_the_gate]

"I was considering it," John told him, watching as the bubble wrap safely deposited some nail clippers on the ground. He'd been hoping for destruction there.

[morpherboy]

"You'd think the nail clippers would have punctured the bubble wrap." Marco commented. "Maybe more height?"

[missed_the_gate]

"Or less bubble wrap," John nodded. "You wanna throw something?"

[tatooine_doofus]

"Wow," Luke said, laughing. "Jaina's been gone a day and you're already this bored?"

[missed_the_gate]

"It's been more than a day," John pointed out. "For her at least. You wanna toss something, or what?"

[tatooine_doofus]

"She's not the one...you're tossing things off the roof? Oooh."

Easily distracted? Oh yeah.

"We're wrapping it in bubble wrap to see if that helps," John grinned. "So far, not so much."

[sarcasm_guy]

Sokka poked his head out the door and looked around. "So... I saw something go past my window? And I thought, wow, if we're breaking stuff, I need to be IN ON THAT."

[missed_the_gate]

John tossed some bubble wrap in Sokka's direction. "Have at! It's destruction time."

[sarcasm_guy]

Sokka gleefully picked up some debris off the roof and started wrapping it... and then stopped.

"DUUUUUUUDE."

Popping the bubbles was going to keep him entertained for a while.

[missed_the_gate]

John watched Sokka pop the bubble wrap. He felt like he'd brought a lot of happiness to himself and others with this brilliant idea.

Rodney had handwavily followed his roomie up to the roof to see what was going on. However, upon spotting John, he was completely distracted from the random mayhem and quite angry.

"I could have died!" Rodney yelled. "And it would have been entirely your fault," he added while pointing emphatically at John.

[missed_the_gate]

"I'm sorry, were on the ground when I dropped the candle?" That thing had been pretty heavy.

[mrodneymckay]

"No, you idiot, I'm talking about that little 'adventure' you sent me on last weekend," he explained. "Do you have any idea what a tragedy it would be if I died before winning the Nobel?!" Rodney shuddered at the thought.

[missed_the_gate]

"Oh, right," John remembered now. "I thought you were the perfect addition to an away team, Rodney. Have fun?" He was not at all sorry, no.
