*Climbs up to top of tower with bungee cords in his arms*

Guest March 12th 2010, 12:51 am

*comes out of the shadows* I've got the harnesses! *dumps harnesses on the floor*

Neville Longbottom March 12th 2010, 12:54 am

"So what are we doing?" *looks around obliviously*

Guest March 12th 2010, 12:55 am

*maniac grin* Put it together, Nev. Bungee cord, harness, high tower, a few hundred feet from the ground...

Neville Longbottom March 12th 2010, 12:56 am

Were not going to jump are we? *jaw drops*

Guest March 12th 2010, 12:57 am

Of course we are! Here's your harness. *hands him harness and starts putting on her own*

Neville Longbottom March 12th 2010, 12:58 am

*begins putting on harness* Have you done this before?

Guest March 12th 2010, 1:00 am

*happily* Nope! But there's a first time for everything, right?

Neville Longbottom March 12th 2010, 1:01 am

Yeah... *looks down nervously*

Guest March 12th 2010, 1:04 am

*starts attaching bungee cord to harness* It'll be fine, Nev! Even I'm not stupid enough to do something I know isn't safe. Dee does it all the time! But then again, Dee has Horcruxes and doesn't have to worry about dying...

Neville Longbottom March 12th 2010, 1:08 am

*starts getting attached nervously then stands up straight* Ok... I'm ready!

Guest March 12th 2010, 1:09 am

*takes a deep breath* Okay, I'll go first. Then, when I'm done, you'll go, and then we'll go together. Good?

Neville Longbottom March 12th 2010, 1:10 am

Ok, Sounds great! *leans toward edge*

Guest March 12th 2010, 1:12 am

*takes another deep breath* Here I go... *starts screaming before jumping, then jumps. she bounces back up, and while she's closer to the top she yells* OH MY GOD!!! THIS IS SO FRIGGIN AWESOME!!! *goes back down again, still screaming*

Neville Longbottom March 12th 2010, 1:15 am

*leans toward edge, takes deep breath, and leaps off edge, Starts screeming*

Guest March 12th 2010, 1:18 am

*keeps screaming, bounces a few more times, and hangs from the bungee cord, totally out of breath* Oh. My. God. That was the best experience of my life.

Neville Longbottom March 12th 2010, 1:21 am

*slowly comes to a slow swing* WOW! THAT WAS AWESOMEEE!

Guest March 12th 2010, 1:25 am

*grins at Neville, then her face falls* Oh... crap. I think we have a problem. *looks from the top of the tower to the ground, still a few dozen feet away*

[Just for the record, I have never been bungee jumping, never seen anyone bungee jump, etc., etc., so if you know more about this than I do, feel free to correct me.]

Neville Longbottom March 12th 2010, 1:27 am

*looks down then up at lily* what do we do now?

[I never have either lol]

Guest March 12th 2010, 1:29 am

*looks at Neville with her head tilted a little to one side* How much upper body strength do you have?

Neville Longbottom March 12th 2010, 1:30 am

*looks awkwardly around* ummmm, i've got a lot.

Guest March 12th 2010, 1:33 am

*smiles happily* Great! Then you're going to have to pull yourself back up, then pull me up. *smiles like she's a genius*

Neville Longbottom March 12th 2010, 1:40 am

ummm, ok great, *starts climbing up using all his strength because he lied about being strong*

Neville Longbottom March 12th 2010, 1:51 am

*finally gets to top* ok *takes deep breath* now what?

Guest March 12th 2010, 3:18 am

*grumbling to self* Genius... He was supposed to pull me up... *starts to pull herself up and finally gets to top. gasps* I... am... going... to... kill him.
