What's that? You're suddenly not feeling well? You sink down, shuddering, as you feel your blood pool in your back. There's an intense pain beneath the surface, and then---wings, extending freely from your back, of quite the inconvenience to anything you might've been wearing. They've taken on a form that reflects you...feathery like a bird's? Glowing with energy like a circuit? Leathery like a bat's? Mechanical, cloth?

Whatever it is that's on your back, regardless of how unlikely it seems with the wingspan and your body's weight, they'll work. You can fly. Call it magic, call it gravity manipulation, whatever it is...you can fly.

Have fun explaining this to your friends and sorting things out.

And it might be interesting to see if the flames seem to make a difference.*

*Luckily, Margulis lives on the first floor, so getting outside doesn't take long.*

[Billy follows, folding his arms. It's a little cold out here.]

It'd probably be easier to glide, but we risk serious injury if we take off from up high.

*He's got his own wings curled around him now, using the flames to keep himself warm.*

Hmph, you might. I make a habit of jumping from some of these rooftops as part of my ordinary travel.

Then you're headed up?

[He's a little jealous. Okay. Very.]

If I can jump properly with these things.

You're good at jumping, right? Give it a shot.
