Let the sky fall

FALLING

Look up! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! Nope, that’d be a character plummeting through the sky, sure to meet their doom. Why are they falling? Who knows. How will their descent end? Probably not well.

Unless someone catches them, that is.

How to Play

- Your character is falling from a considerable height. It’s up to you whether this is intentional or a terrible accident. Give us a brief summary of how they ended up mid-nosedive.
- Other characters catch them.
- Unless you’d like your thread to turn into modern art. Splat.

[For anyone familiar with SIGNALIS, Elster constantly descending from points of higher elevation is kinda A Thing That Keeps Happening. This is just another instance of that.]

[You know, Ranma's used to falling from high in the sky. That being said, hitting the ground isn't going to be that much of a warm welcome. Anyone want to try catching a falling martial artist?

Male and female Ranma both available, whichever's up your alley!]

[It's not every day that petite busty redheads in loose fitting clothes just... fall from the sky. Fortunately(?) for the young girl, the blonde woman below is pretty agile and strong herself, making a leap forward to close the distance and scoop the girl into her arms before she can crash. If she was even going to crash. Better safe than sorry!]

Whoa!

[Terry skids to a halt, her arms unconsciously pulling Ranma in tighter against herself. Sorry not sorry her tits are kind of out and practically in Ranma's face. She's not exactly self conscious about it, let alone with a girl.]

S'okay, I got you! [She lets out a small sigh now that that's over. But she's not letting go yet.] Are you okay?

[Note to self: When you're fighting quite literally tens of thousands of feet in the air, try not to get too close to the ledge. Especially when you've just been doused with a wave of water after the floating palace's main waterline broke and flooded the place. Needless to say, one bad slip and Ranma found herself tumbling and spinning out of control plummeting to the Earth below. Normally Ranma's good at controlling her air movement, it's literally one of her arts' specialties, but with high up she was and how quickly she hit terminal velocity, she was pretty much a red ball ready to make a touch down on the earth.

She wasn't even sure if she'd survive this. While she's not nigh-indestructible like Ryoga, she's one hell tough cookie and has experience with falling from high places. But now? All Ranma's hoping for is at least only her legs get broken from the impact. It felt like an eternity, Ranma wished it'd be over already! The cacophonic whistling of wind whirring past her, the feeling of her ears popping from the high altitude, the continuous blurs of blue and green to the point she thought she'd be sick! Eventually, she'd get close enough for her to close her eyes and brace for impact.

...

... Yet the feeling of earth never came. She slammed right into something, yes, but it wasn't the unforgiving ground that would've been cratered otherwise. Ranma could feel slender but strong arms around her, and something squishy and round being pressed closed to her face. Then came the voice, which finally prompted the redhead to open her blue eyes...

And there she saw her. Blue eyes meeting the ones on a blonde lady with... cushions to put lightly. Ranma was nonplussed enough that having a woman's breasts close to her face doesn't immediately get her flustered as she snapped out of her stupor.]

Y-Yeah, I'm fine, I'm good. Thank you...

[She looks down at the red-haired girl with a warm, relieved smile.]

Sorry if I surprised you! I couldn't just let a girl fall like that.

[She's still holding on to her, reluctant to let her go before she's had a chance to recover a bit.]

You good to go? You still seem a bit shaken up.

[The smile only made the girl a bit more flustered, making her take a second or two to muster up a response.]

I can walk, yeah. It's just...

[Her cheeks got redder, only now realizing that not only were Terry's breasts up in her face, but her own was squishing up against the blonde woman due to her holding them.]

Could you put me down, please? I don't think you want me stuck between your boobs forever...

[Well, now it's Terry's turn to start blushing.]

I don't think they work like that...

[She does comply with Ranma's request though, maneuvering to gently set her down on her feet. Then, once she's gotten a bit of a better look at her...]

Then again, I guess you've got some experience there too.

I was speaking in hyperbole...

[Ranma would've given a sheepish chuckle, but being put on the ground after falling from such great heights made her a little unsteady for a bit. She's still letting the adrenaline die down.]

Yeah... They're a big hassle to deal with sometimes...

[She gives a good-natured chuckle at that.]

I'm still technically getting used to them. Kind of a... late bloomer sort of thing.

[And now she's blushing again. Just a little.]

Not the worst thing to deal with once you start to adjust, though. Well, most of the time...

[He did canonically throw himself into a fiery chasm... so if anyone want's to save him they are free to try. He probably wont be very grateful for it, however.]

[She’s astride a broom plummeting to earth.]
NoNoNoNoNo Fly please fly.

[Today had been going... relatively fine so far. As fine as they can be for the martial artist. Sure, she had an unfortunate run in with a hose, but that was neither here nor there. Ranma was relaxing in the park, minding her own business and doing some cloud gazing. It was the next best thing to looking at the stars. Clouds are basically the stars of the day, after all...]

... Huh?

[Her eyes spotted something odd in the sky. A black, blurry dot from the distance, but she quickly realized that it was getting closer. Ranma squinted her eyes and blocked the sun from the with her eyes, trying to get a better look at what was falling, not even taking in account that whatever it was, it was coming at her fast!]

What in the...

[Akko kept desperately pulling up on the broom, and luckily it stopped for a second about twenty feet off the ground, but just for a second. Still it was enough that she wasn’t killed when crashed to the ground.]

Owwwwie.

[The broom had landed several feet away, but Akko hadn’t opened her eyes to check. Something felt different, she had crashed enough to know what the ground felt like. This was different. Hmmm what was it?]

[Whatever Akko landed atop of was a bit smaller than her. Not by much, just a couple of inches in height. Instead of dirt and grass cushioning her crash landing, it was soft, squishy with fabric. She gets her answer as to what prevented her from going splat on the ground...]

Any... Anybody catch the number of the semi that hit me...?

[... A redheaded girl muttering punch-drunk mumbles and a dazed far-off look in her eyes as they rolled around in her head. Ranma shook her head to snap out of the mild concussion and headache, looking up at headache that fell right out of the sky.]

Mind getting off, please...?

Ahhh. Sorry sorry. Are you ok?

[Akko jumped off her quickly bowing several times on apology, before realizing she should probably offer the girl a hand up. She smiled sheepishly at her.{

I was up there and something went wrong, I am so very sorry.

Never been better...

[Why does she ever hope for normal days? Ranma breathed in some fresh air now that she didn't have some girl on her torso. The hand up was appreciated, though Ranma did briefly contemplate pulling the girl down on the ground as payback for using her as a pillow. In the end, she decided against it since the girl dressed up like some mage or witch seemed apologetic.]

It's fine. You're not the first girl to fall right out of the sky on me...

[Ranma chuckled and gave a stretch to fight off any remaining soreness.]

So you wanna tell me what you were doing up there before you decided to drop on in?

[Asked what she was doing, Akko’s while demeanor changes. She assumes what is obviously supposed to be a cool pose, and laughs.]

I was flying on my broomstick, for I am a witch you see.

Only I haven’t actually gotten the hang of the broomstick yet so I kind of crashed.

[The cool pose came off more humorous to the martial artist, who only stood there with her arms behind her back. Already she could tell this girl was a bit... dorky, to put it nicely. But the explanation made the martial artist raise a brow. Flying on a broomstick? Now that Ranma looked around, she would spot a discarded broom out of place in the park. So there was some credit to Akko's claim. Though she couldn't help but ask anyway...]

... Aren't witches supposed to be green, ugly and melt when they're splashed with water?

[Is that supposed to be a compliment or an insult? Take it however you want.

Akko's last words made the martial artist give a dry chuckle and respond in a flat manner while dusting herself off.]

Really? I couldn't tell, you seem like such a natural at it.

No, most witches are normal looking. Some are even gorgeous like Shiny Chariot.

[It didn’t take long to figure Akko out, when it came to her chosen calling she was a full on dork. She wore her heart on her sleeve and clearly didn’t mind bending a stranger’s ear about what she loved. She does get a bit huffy at that comment about her broom riding though.]

I’m still a student you know, can’t expect me to be perfect at everything, or decent at everything.

No clue who Shiny Chariot is, but if you say so.

[Ranma gave a simple shrug and crossed her arms behind her head, bobbing on the back of her heels. The soreness from getting hit by the human missile earlier had gone down thankfully. This girl was a total dork, but it's honestly amusing to the redhead.]

Fair 'nough. I'm a martial artist, not a witch, so can't really say I could do any of that stuff. Plus me and magic don't exactly have the best history with each other either.

[If he had a quarter each time he suddenly caught someone falling from a great height, he'd only have two quarters--But it would still be strange that it happened twice to begin with. That in mind, seeing the very clearly human silhouette plummeting from the skies; Suguru acted quickly in summoning one of his more airborne curses so he can swiftly catch the other before they wind up a stain on the ground.]

Are you alright?

[Likely the one falling if not stopping someone from falling off a ledge, send help]

[Likely saving someone plummeting if he's not the one falling due to Nue tapping out, feel free to assume CR. Cast mates are especially welcome!]

(( He is able to cast Levitate or Fly on any descending persons ))

[where's creative mode when you need it?]

[She happens to enjoy free falling then materializing her wings at the last instant, so she might be giving some poor passerby a heart attack.]

[Flying cultivator, will catch.]
