The Roof, Saturday afternoon

[walter_n_wires]

Walter had a thermos of tea, a bag of sandwiches, and a cigarette. Thanks to his semi-insane metabolism, he hadn't even had a brushing acquaintance with a hangovr; he couldn't complain at all. Eventually, he'd see Cally, if she remembered the night before. Then there would be jumping off the roof

"You really gonna jump?" Cally said, finally having surfaced from her room after finally ridding herself of a minor hangover.

Cally thought for a second. "How fast do you fall, normally?"

[walter_n_wires]

"I've never taken any measurements. I let Nadia fall longer than just about anyone else because she likes it. It's not dangerous. I've jumped out of a plane this way."

[sogothcally]

"But it's fast? And sorta sudden stops?"

[walter_n_wires]

"Not as sudden as it would be if you were just falling."

[sogothcally]

"I don't like fast," Cally said.

[walter_n_wires]

"Where's the fun in that, then? The whole point is the falling."

[sogothcally]

"Yeah, well, I'll just stick with not falling," Cally said.

Walter waved a hand dismissively. "I've jumped out of an airplane with just my wires. A roof is child's play. Safe as houses."

[sogothcally]

"It's a question of fun, not safety," Cally said.
