[ this is a great question. he's holding the vr set, tossing it between both hands as he tries to think of something he might've found on the internet. ]
...well. The places I've been are pretty boring. You wouldn't like them. [ he seems to say this like it's a fact. ] But I think I have an idea. Calibrate with me?
[ i don't know how this vr works, but anyway. once they both slip the headsets on, yuzuriha will see what looks like a large, tropical jungle? and also the set-up for a zipline. ]
[ ...yuzuriha looks maybe slightly surprised to see the jungle, but in the way that she's seen something familiar before and isn't so sure she wants to be back so soon. ]
...Pretty muggy here, huh. What's this for?
[ she'll hop on top of the cable and balance along it for a few steps like it's a tightrope... ]
It's a zipline. And you don't balance on it like that! [ yuzuriha no!! ] You hook up to one of these things and set it on the line. and then you push off and travel to the other end. It's sort of like flying but a little...y'know. Different.
[ ...he pauses, kind of uncertain. ]
You can pick something else. I don't really know why it was the first thought I had when thinking of something more interesting than stuff I know better.
[ she walks back to the platform again and drops back down. ]
Ah, I think I've done something a bit similar before.
[ with far more rudimentary equipment, but same concept. you know, when you have to escape a building really quickly because a bunch of guards are chasing you, or some such. ]
No no, let's try this first. [ HELP... INSECURITY WEEK ]
[ this is so funny. it's really just jonas: yuzuriha looks like the kind of person who would willingly throw herself across a gorge for fun so maybe she'll like that more than where i'm actually from yuzuriha, sweating: not like this
but he's moving ahead, getting himself set up with the zipline by clipping himself in and hooking up the mechanism to the cable stretching across the valley of trees himself. ]
You're gonna have to hook up yourself, but it's pretty easy. And the second reel thing should be there for you to set up on the line. [ which is what he says before he turns, making sure she can see before he just
jumps? and immediately sails down through trees and over the tropical landscape, zipping pretty fast all the way to a platform way on the other side. he can barely see her by the time he lands, but at least he's climbing up. ]
[ he hears her chanting and almost turns his head to tell her to stop that, but he's more focused on not eating shit and dying actually. it's only when the two of them are on the platform that he grins a little in response. ]
Definitely a compliment in this case. [ but he looks at the two lines and he nods. ] You're on though. Oooor if you're scared of losing your money, loser just has to pick the next place.
No way! [ she's not feeling nearly insecure enough to back down from a challenge. and also i just rolled a 17 HELP... YOU CAN NAT 20 IT JONAS!! or you can also just have yuzu lose outright because i think it would be so funny.
she's gonna clamp onto the next zipline, and after a countdown she launches herself off the platform. ]
[ HELP. it's fine, honestly she's not insecure enough and he's insecure enough to try and prove himself and together they're both stupid.
he doesn't even say anything, attaching himself to the line and taking a running leap to zoom off the platform and down. cheating with drift? maybe. but i rolled a 15 so it's either he loses just barely, or yuzu's line gets stuck as he barely skates by to victory.
regardless, once he's on the next platform he unhooks himself and gives her a little grin. ]
See? It's kind of fun when you get into it. [ when you're secured. when you aren't at a risk of the line snapping and plunging straight to the ground below. ]
[ he flashes her a very innocent smile? he did nothing wrong here. ]
I've never actually done this in a jungle before. We sort of made our own in the woods and it didn't always work, but it was kind of fun. [ but hm... ]
It's possible. I'd probably have to be behind you though. I got one of the boats in the canal to speed up with Monika in it, but that was harder to control. Something like this shouldn't be too bad.
[ he just smirks at that. that's a mystery. but she's on the line and he hooks up after her, adjusting a little to be directly against her. ]
On three. One...two...three. [ which is to say he's applying a burst of speed and pushing directly against her, sending both of them careening down the line as if he's steering her himself. ]
Okay, well, uh, that might actually be a problem? [ because they have picked up so much momentum, but he does stop applying his dash to stop pushing her ahead. ]
[ clearly i didn't think this through in advance but uh
she can try to break with her feet, yeah, though she protects them in geo first to absorb the shock. the impact probably sends up a small spray of dirt, and the momentum might have them rocking back in forth for a bit. ]
...Done!
[ once they stop moving so much, she'll toe back onto the platform with a laugh and help him down as well. ]
[ neither of us did, it's fine. either way there are rock feet and also dirt and jonas sort of jerks to a halt the best he can so they're suspended and not moving too far forward.
once they're both down on the platform, he unclips entirely and grins a little. ]
You're getting better at that. [ geo, he means. ] Good thinking.

Don't think I didn't notice that. [ actually she sounds pretty approving of those tactics. she hadn't clarified the rules, so it's really on her. ]
It's pretty fun, yeah. [ good pick! ]
