[ this sure is a message to receive on the first of the month ]

Excuse me???

on sparkling's post, you were invested in learning i couldn't fly.
a mutual friend saw it and decided to take matters into her own hands. by throwing me off a roof.

[ more like paws, but whatever. ]

[ EXCUSE ME??? ]

Okay first of all, it is NOT my fault that your friend saw my advice and took it as "throw my friend off a roof" because that is absolutely not what I was getting at!!

well, she sure as shit did! and she wouldn't have done it if she hadn't seen the post.
she can't fly either, by the way. terrible spotter.

Then I think that's her fault for deciding to throw you off a roof.
Seriously, she didn't even talk with you first? Who throws someone off a roof?!

not a word. we were talking about what it's like trying to adjust here, and then she said there was no time like the present and THREW ME OFF A ROOF. as for why she thought it was a good idea, i suppose you'd have to ask trish yourself.

Waaaait a second, you're talking about Trish?! Why would she throw anyone off a roof?!! TRISH?!

wait you're friends with trish???
Who ARE you?

[ ????? ]

yes trish? pink bear? is there another trish i haven't met??
and what do you mean who is this, it's abbacchio, obviously.

...

wait were you not.
were you not in on this?

[ oh. oh no. ]

[ bird warbling is GO ]

WHAT?!?! you thought I was IN on some plan to throw you off a ROOF????
I didn't even know WHO YOU WERE until literally right now!!!
I thought I was just giving advice to a random person
I didn't know your handle or network address!!!

How in any world would it make sense that I was IN ON THIS?????

okay, listen, i just thought that this was all part of some elaborate plan to force me into flying, which it was, to be fair. teen girls keep making things weird for me, and it seemed like an awful lot for her to pull off on her own. but apparently you had nothing to do with it and i came to the wrong conclusion.

trish just used your posts as inspiration, i guess.

[ ... ]

sorry?

You better BET you're sorry!!
I do NOT like to be accused of things I don't do. >:(
And moreover! That's just dangerous and irresponsible, and I have NO idea what Trish was thinking. I would never take part in something so reckless.

[ lol. lmao. lol. she genuinely believes this at least. ]

you're right! it is dangerous and irresponsible. i'd say i'm not sure if she was thinking, but she put an awful lot of thought into it and that would be an insult to her calculated scheming.

[ yeah, no. abbacchio doesn't know riley that well, what he does know is that she's friends with giorno and therefore reckless by association. ]

[ abbacchio she's only reckless because she's stupid c'mon :/// ]

Just as long as you understand that I had NO part in this.

did you fly though? Like
when she threw you off the roof, did you fly?

Edited 2022-10-08 19:58 (UTC)

no part in this directly, yes.

no. sort of? mostly it was falling until it wasn't falling.
i don't know if i'd go so far as to call it flying

:/

What did you DO when it wasn't falling?
like what is there besides flying and falling? which was it closer to?

i went up not down but it sure as hell wasn't flying
it was more like stumbling up stairs. in the air

But you went up!!
That's PROGRESS! That's the start of flying, see?
You just gotta keep doing that until you can really control the way your wings move through the air!

you sound just like trish

[ At least she's not calling him a parachute. ]

it didn't feel like much progress, but...
it did feel kind of good.

I knew it would!
You're getting control of something new.
so even if it wasn't a lot, if it felt good then I say it's progress.
You're figuring out how you feel about it.
Right?

right, yeah.
i think i was struggling with viewing them as an extension of me like you would arms, rather than this... weird cumbersome addition that was always there and mostly got in the way.

[ Huh, kind of like his Stand. Anyways! ]

maybe now that that initial issue has been addressed, it will be easier? i'm not sure how you're supposed to get in the air from the ground, though.

[ don't you dare make me cry about moody blues ]

I bet so!!
About it being easier I mean.
From the ground it's much more about strength of your wings. THAT takes a lot of practice, which is why I recommended a high place for starters.
It also helps to get a running start, when you're starting out, both up high and down low.
Try to get used to the way it feels when your wings catch an upward draft and look for those!

the strength of the wings determining how easy it is to get up off of the ground makes sense ...and not having used them means they're pretty weak right now, like when you first start a new type of exercise that relies on muscles that you aren't used to using

i'll keep that in mind, thanks
genuinely

i only wish i'd actually figured all this out before the weather started to turn, now that it's getting colder, i expect we'll be in for heavier winds and rain soon. [ He pulls a face at the laptop. ] and snow.

Oh that genuinely IS the worst.
I regained my flying abilities around this time last year after not being able to for awhile and it SUCKED to get back to it when snow started coming down.

[ It sucked for a few reasons, actually! ]

The rain isn't good either but only sort of.
I really like the rain so I like flying in it, but you need to be just as careful about flying in the rain as walking in the rain.
Monsters can still catch colds.

You're welcome, in any case. I guess I've forgotten how it feels not to have it active. I didn't think about it.

mm... i don't actually dislike the rain

[ He might grouse about it, complain that he hates getting wet and how it ruins his hair, but. It's also an important reminder. Maybe even more so, now. ]

i know that it can make traversal inconvenient, though, and i suppose it's that part i don't care for

anyway, uh. sorry again for you know.
assuming you had something to do with all this

Honestly maybe a tailored parka would make flying in difficult weather easier. I've got a good sense of it anyway.
It's a harpy thing.

Thank you very much for the apology. I appreciate it. :)

[ and she would've resented if she didn't receive one im sorry shes still a nightmare- ]

I hope this makes the next time you try flying easier, and that you can do it on your own terms, instead of being thrown off a roof!
