Rhia had no clue what was going on, that people were sick. She didn't follow the news, didn't use the cellphone thing she was given, and never went into the building... so... she had no clue. She was thinking about what Alric and Viti had said, though. But deep thoughts were for night time. Mornings were for fun. So She was swinging through tree banches, racing with the wind... and playing a whole lot of Rhiaball.

For those who have never seen her playing this game, it mostly consisted of Rhia - who looked like she was part tree herself with brown skin, brown hair, and green clothing made of leaves and vines - curled in a ball as the trees happily threw her from tree to tree in the canopy.

"Dang. Wouldn't wanna do that." Joss looked anywhere an everywhere but at Rhia.

"ummm..." She finally was able to look at Rhia.

"...Ya wanna uummm, check out my graplin lasso?" She shrugged, as she lifted up a strange device with a trigger, rope, and a propeller.

"I always thought it was fun."

[rhiaofdruma]

"What is that?" she asked, frowning at it.

[anythingspossible]

Joss smiled and held her shoulders high.

"This here is ma graplin lasso. Come on, I'll show ya how it works."

Joss Dashed closer to the mansion so that could be with in range of the mansion. She hoisted the lasso and took aim. There was a bang as she pulled the trigger and a propeller flew rope around a part of the massnion sticking out of the roof. She was then yanked Joss off the ground in a flash as the rope automatically rolled up.

"Yeeee haaaww!" She shouted as she flew to the mansion roof. She landed on the roof with a plop.

She cupped her hands around her mouth, and shouted. "Ya wanna try it!"

[rhiaofdruma]

Her eyes widened and she nodded, leaning forward on her branch. THAT LOOKED FUN!!!!!!!

[anythingspossible]

Joss swung to Rhia's tree and offered the device to her.

"Ya gotta aim it carefully for yer first shot, but then ya can use this here handle to turn that prapella. Then ya enjoy the ride and land on yer feet."

[rhiaofdruma]

"Prapella?" she asked, confused. She turned it around in her hands to look at the device.

[anythingspossible]

"yup! It's that spinny thang right on top. It spins and makes it fly."

Joss stepped back. "Just tell me when yer ready."

[rhiaofdruma]

She turned it, to look at the spiny thing, putting her finger around the the trigger, with it still aimed at her own face. "I squeeze this?"

[anythingspossible]

"No! not yet!" Joss gasped and ran to Rhia.

"Ya gotta aim it away from yer face." She attempted to reach her hands into point the lasso away from Rhia.

[rhiaofdruma]

"Why?" she asked, her head tilted curiously.

[anythingspossible]

"Cause if ya don't then you'll shoot yer self in the face, and that ain't fun. Besides, ya wanna aim it ta the thing ya wanna go to."

[rhiaofdruma]

"Oh." She considered that for a long moment, then aimed it at one of the clouds. "Now I squeeze?"

[anythingspossible]

Joss bit her tongue so she wouldn't laugh. "Well not quite, ya got aim at somethin a rope can grab. Like that where I grabbed."

[rhiaofdruma]

"Oh," she said, a bit disappointed. "You told me to aim where I wanted to go... so...." She wanted to fly. She ached to have wings like a bird and just.. fly.

[anythingspossible]

"uhhhhhh..." Joss was dumbfounded. Her eyes darted back and fourth trying to think of a way to satisfy Rhia, but heart was starting to cave under pressure.

"Well I...ummm..." Suddenly her eyes burst wide.

"Stay right here. I got somethin."

Joss sprinted back into the mansion. There was a good five minutes before anything happened, but then a diamond shaped robot flew in from the sky. Joss sprinted back, so exhausted, she was resting her hands on her knees.

"That there is ma robot tornado. It can take 200lbs of gear, but I emptied, so it should be able ta carry ya. Ya want that ta fly ya around?" Joss was gasping.

[rhiaofdruma]

"How does that thing make me fly? It's a weird looking bird..." she tried whistling to it.

[anythingspossible]

Joss had to take a second to catch her breath before she could say anything.

"That thang has ion propulsion thrusts. Like one them rockets that goes into space only it shoots out charged particles with a magnetic field instead of fire. I can control with ma smart phone."

Joss whipped out the phone. "Ya can grab it with ma grappling lasso, or I can have it carry ya."

[rhiaofdruma]

She looked at her blankly, having followed none of what was said.

[anythingspossible]

"Anyway... Just let me know when ya wanna fly." Joss smiled hopping to meet Rhia's approval.

[rhiaofdruma]

"Always," she said, softly but seriously.

[anythingspossible]

Joss pressed a button on her smart phone, and the robot slowly descended to Rhia's level. It extended two hydraulic arms. If there was no resistance, Joss intended to have the robot lift Rhia up from underneath her arms and raise her into the sky.

[rhiaofdruma]

She saw the arms, confused, and reached up to touch them, wondering what they were.

[anythingspossible]

The arms were made of a material that looked like steel, but felt a little more like smooth plastic. In reality it was made of neither substance. The hands of the arms were for finger clamps, with each finger opposing another, and with a faint wirrr sound rotated 90 degrees.

"Don't ya worry none," Joss assured. "Tornado is a friendly robot, that want ta fly ya up high.

[rhiaofdruma]

She had no clue what robot meant, but she knew friendly. "How can I fly?"

Yes, she asked this of the robot.

[anythingspossible]

The robot made soft beeping sounds. Joss had to chuckle just a little. "This robot don't talk much, but just let it pick ya up, and hang on, cause I can make it carry ya ta up above that there mansion."
