"We don't know what'll happen. That's why we're finding non-human living things to test it with first, before something happens to one of us trying something."

Spark shrugged. "Can I see your bag?"

“Ohh, that’s what all the bugs were about.” Souls says, finally understanding.

"Uh, sure." She handed him the rope.

After a few tries, SF gets it right. (I tried at home. It worked. It took 9 tries.)

Glass closed the bag with the grasshopper in it. "Cool... now what?"

"Why?"

“Cause their brains are too small. They only act on instinct”

Are we getting into this? Good

SF takes the rope, with the circular, wide knot on the end that acts like a noose and tightens around what he throws it over and searches the top of the rockfall for a good stone to hook it on.

Glass turned to SF. "You got it?"

“Yeah. Do you see any rocks that’ll work?” He gazes upwards, squinting.

"Um," Glass looked around for a moment, then pointed. "There's a little outcropping over there. Towards the other side. You wanna try for that?"

You hear a CAWWW!! as the crow from earlier appears, landing on elan's head, and nibbling their ear.

"Sure." SF swings the rope and launches it, making sure to keep hold to one side. After a couple of minutes, he lands it around the outcropping and it snaps tight around it, holding firm.

"So... Who's going first?"

Glass eyed the bird again.

"Yeah, I thought someone had volunteered..." She turned to SF. "Tie the other end of that rope to something over here."

“It was me. But let’s try the bug thing first; cheating is always preferable to potentially falling off a cliff.” Dray looks through his bag for the grasshopper.
