I mean, we shouldn't even be in here, for a start.

Static falls...
and falls...
and falls...
without warning, there is a sharp pain in the center of his back. He gasps and clutches at his chest. An arrow is protruding from it, piercing his heart. As he continues to fall, he tries to pull at the arrow, but his strength fades immediately. With a soft sigh, his life escapes him.

Static's lifeless body lands with a solid thud in the center of the group standing at the base of the tower. There are gasps, and even one choked sob. Before anyone can rush to the Gunslinger's corpse, SoulofSerenity raises his arms, holding everyone back.
"Wait." he says, simply.
From the center of Static's chest, the arrowhead begins to glow. Softly at first, and then more and more brightly. The glow spreads down the shaft of the arrow and then seems to spread through Static's chest first, and then the rest of his body. The arrow glows brighter and brighter until noone can even look directly at it. They all shield their eyes.
When the light fades, Static is standing there before them, alive and unharmed. He rolls his head slowly, cracking his neck audibly.
"That," he says, finally, "was unpleasant."

*reaches the end of the crimson walk way. He peers over the edge at a small dusty town, very far below him. He blinks. And annoyed look comes to his face.*
...
*A scent plays across the wind, familiar...flowers...the sea...
danger...
His right eye twitches. He checks a reading on his keytool. It reads an altitude of 30,000 feet. He squints...and leaps out into the air. His eyes are closed as he descends, overcome by a strange sense of deja vu.*

*Serenity, relieved, begins to sob in earnest.*
"You okay?" asks Greek in a whisper. He looks a bit worried.
"I don't know how much more of this I can take." says Serenity, and she sinks to the ground.

*TheGreyJedi is immediately struck by the lack of air and the cold as he exits the pathway from the SereniTREE. He rolls on his back and sees the opening is gone. He mutters curses in his head. He's putting himself at a really high risk of getting the bends up here. How many seconds had passed? 30? 45? Most free-fall jumps from this height only last 2, 2 1/2 minutes. His lungs start to burn. He closes his arms and legs and tilts his body as best he can downward. The speed of his decent whips at his skin and clothing. The ground below, which had seemed to hang below him was now approaching with alarming speed. His eyes, closed since jumping, allowed his mind to find his destination. Subtle, unconscious manuvering, tilting him to the open ground. Suddenly, his body jerks down, his feet below him.*
Rather suddenly, the ground near the bar is shaken violently with a massive impact. Dust flies up into the air, everyone outside is tossed off their feet, some staying there, others (those what made their reflex saves) roll back to feet and knees. Those in the bar are tossed about, glasses and pitchers fall to the ground and shatter. No one moves, no one speaks. Suddenly, Needle feels a large hand and arm wrap around her, pulling her to the left into a torso. A bright blue blade shoots into existance, hissing as the settling dust collides with it.
"Are you ok?"

After TheRealMe had tryed to open a portal to Soul and TheRealMe looks at N0Skillz
Quote:
"Sorry, Noskills, we are sort of in the middle of something here. We would welcome your help, if you could offer any. And you say you had a hole in your ship?"
"I've been known to help a person or two and y'all seem to be in need of a hand. The hole in my ship is kinda the reason i'm stuck on this rock. But thats for another time..."
N0Skillz pulls out his revoler from his hip, just as TheRealMe opens his portal to Ath..
"Seems like I shoulda brought those grenades"
The ground shakes, and N0Skillz falls, but manages to get right back on his feet. Hes hes a shape in the dust, and to noone in particular
"Another friend?"
