Can you combine those? Jumping and speed?

audio

[notzubats]

I've...never tried!

audio

[experiencepoints]

Why have you- Fuck it.

How long can you hold your speed for, and how long do you have to wait before you can use it again? And are you in a forest, or is it just the one tree?

audio

[notzubats]

Whoa- watch the language!

[You're talking to an E rated character here!!]

I can do it for about five seconds? Wait time's a few seconds, and I'm in a forest!

audio

[experiencepoints]

Fuck no.

How many times can you do it?

audio

[notzubats]

[Wow jeez! Talk about crude!]

Probably just a couple times more...I already used it a few times before I climbed the tree.

[Bears are fast man]

[experiencepoints]

Okay. Jump as far as you can, and use your speed the instant you touch down. As soon as you run out, change direction and use it again- Your goal is for the bear to lose sight of you. Once that's done, double back a bit on your own path and climb another tree. The bear should follow the trail you left and go straight past you, letting you get down and get away while it's going the other way.

Got it?

audio

[notzubats]

[He sounds a bit anxious, but...]

Okay...got it. I'll try that.

audio

[experiencepoints]

And turn off your comm. Any surprise noise might make the whole thing fail.

... Call back as soon as you're safe though. Please. If I don't hear back in fifteen minutes I'm going to send out a search party.

audio

[notzubats]

Right, okay!

Seeya later!

[Annnnd then it's radio silence for awhile. Which you know, it's too bad Sora didn't bring a watch with him huh.]

[Nightingale is counting off the seconds, staring at her communicator's clock function like a hawk (get it. because she's a bird.). She's just getting antsier and antsier the closer to the 15 minute mark it gets, honestly, and she may be terrified her plan just got a kid killed by a bear.]

[Because Nightingale needs a few more years shaved off her life, it'll be 15:15 when his feed reconnects.]

Nightingale? You there?
