[All that's visible in the phone's screen is a shaky view of a bright blue sky, but a child can be heard laughing over the rush of wind.]

This is so awesome! Look at me, I'm flying! This is the best day ever

[And Martha looks very calm for someone who is not so calm.]

You remember how you got up there? All that flying? Can you do that again... Don't go anywhere... stay on the roof... but try to fly...

{That's really probably not good advice. But what teh hell is she supposed to do. She doesn't know where there's a ladder.]

[fallen_empath]

Of course I remember! I flew, silly! Didn't you see it?

[Peter flaps his arms like a bird trying to take off, but nothing happens this time.]

It doesn't work anymore!

[notrosesshadow]

OK... [Bugger... that was her plan.]

Sit down... right where you are. Stay there and we'll get a ladder for you. Does anyone else know where you are?

[fallen_empath]

[Peter sits right down where he is, pouting a little.]

No... It's high up. I'm higher than all the trees! I'm scared!

[notrosesshadow]

Lie back... look up at the sky. Do you see all the clouds? Tell me what a few of them look like.

[Operation distract the kid in effect.]

[fallen_empath]

Okay... Don't hang up, okay? Then you could see them too.

[Peter puts the phone down next to him and lies down, his back flat on the roof, and watches the clouds float by.]

There's... um... a rhinoceros! Look, there's his horn! And a little girl riding a pony. And... a muffin!

[notrosesshadow]

[Martha couldn't quite see the muffin... but whatever. Kid was distracted.]

Good. Now... why do you think there's a rhinoceros and a girl on a pony and a muffin all together?
