04 DNA Strands

[Evan couldn't fly. He knows it, but he didn't really know it. He was basing his assumption entirely on his entrance to Paradisa, and his setting the lobby on fire when he'd done so, and had otherwise been avoiding actively trying to fly, in case he embarrassed himself trying. That's why, tonight, anyone who comes out to the roof will see a young gray-skinned young man standing on the ledge, trying and repeatedly failing to leap from the ledge, only to crash spectacularly on the pavement below. It doesn't actually hurt him, but it does leave boy-sized craters every time he lands.]

So...uhh...I know what my loss is, but...how specific are they? If someone had lost the ability to fly, for example, would they be able to fly if like...someone threw them, or if someone who could fly gave them sort of a running start? I'm kinda curious to see what the limitations are. If...uhh...you're someone who could help, meet me up on the roof.

[After that, he'll resume his attempts,his journal open and catching his repeated failed attempts, which sound like someone falling from a great height, and then scaling the castle's outer wall over and over. feel free to reply over the journal, or ogle the insanity in person.]

Yeah, I was being kind of silly, wasn't I? I mean, I couldn't even get a pair of wings to keep me up for more than a few seconds. Guess I need to try some different things.

[He rubs at the back of his head, looking at a small cluster of the craters he's been leaving on the ground.]

I did make a pretty cool collection of craters though, didn't I?

[originalcopy]

Not bad... I really like that one. You can almost see your face in it.

[He shrugs]

You could always ask that flying cheerleader to carry you around while she flies.

[kid_apocalypse]

[He scans the craters and finds the one Church is talking about, and laughs.]

Heh, I guess you can, can't you?

[He blushes a little.]

Oh, you mean Kara? I...don't know if I could ask for something like that. She's already helping me with my other powers, so asking her to carry me around when I want to fly would be kinda selfish.

[originalcopy]

She is huh.

[You can practically hear the smirk.]

Well, if she's already helping you then I'm sure she wouldn't mind taking you once or twice.

Or you could ask that flying Troll girl. I bet she's take you for a spin.

[kid_apocalypse]

Yeah, maybe. I just don't wanna ask for too much, you know?

[Plus she's cute and he would be embarrassed and l;sakdl;daskf.]

A flying...troll girl?

[He hasn't actually met any of the trolls yet, despite his physical similarity to them, he's picturing a troll doll (the big-haired kind) with wings.]

[originalcopy]

[he (mostly) suppresses a chuckle.]

Yup. You can't really miss her with those horns.
What was her name... Aradia I think.

[kid_apocalypse]

[He nods.]

Aradia. I'll keep an eye out for her. Anything else I should watch for? Besides the horns, I mean.

[originalcopy]

Fairy wings... oh and grey skin, kind of like you actually.

She said was a Troll.

[kid_apocalypse]

Huh, never heard of a troll with gray skin before. At least she'll be easy to find.

[She sounded a bit like a combination of himself, Marrow, and Pixie all rolled into one.]

[originalcopy]

Hey I'd never heard of a Troll before... well, not outside fairy-tales and the internet.

[he shrugs]
