[Samus is going to try a little experiment today, which would explain why she's currently wearing her armor. The idea is simple enough, and she begins executing it.

Having picked a less populated area of the Gardens, Samus starts to run straight forward. A few seconds later, she ends up moving faster and faster until the Speed Booster activates.

Once it does, she comes to a full stop almost instantly before performing a vertical shinespark. Launching herself high into the air, she continues traveling upwards until hitting the invisible barrier. Despite the high altitude and resulting free fall, she safely lands back on the ground.

She then looks upward at the sky.]

Not even a dent...

[ooc: the vine probably caught her during mid-boost, just not for very long. samus can run at supersonic speeds with the speed booster.]

[Alien bird science is the best science.]

I... kind of did? Like, for a while. Until it all turned out to be bullshit on my world.

[spacejumping]

What happened?

[notvitiligo]

...kiiind of a long story, but it involved people running around and waving their arms at nothing in a graveyard.

It's really embarrassing.

[spacejumping]

Fair enough.

[notvitiligo]

It's sort of neat knowing that, at least somewhere, it's actually a thing. Though I guess that won't help me back home.

[spacejumping]

You sound pretty sure of that.

[notvitiligo]

Well, yeah. I mean, if we had any kind of magic, it'd already be proven.

[spacejumping]

I don't put much stock in magic.

[notvitiligo]

Me either. It's all kind of ridiculous, in my opinion. I'd rather deal with something anyone can do.

[spacejumping]

Like what?

[notvitiligo]

The sciences. It's all documented, you don't need anything innate other than a functioning brain, and it makes sense.

[In Jessica's view, making sense is one of the highest virtues.]

[spacejumping]

Fair enough. I'd pick that over magic any day.

[notvitiligo]

For real. [Samus has gone up several more points in Jessica's estimation.]
