I climbed onto my friend’s roof via their Tv antenna twice. Good times, and perfect for a monster hunting daydreamer like me to use as a blind! I also wonder how cleats will work with webbed feet. Special order shoes will be the new top expense for sarnothi parents!
Sorry for the late reply, but yeah I’m aware I’m taking some liberties with how real kids this age would talk. I try to find a balance between keeping the dialogue close-ish to appropriate, and still be engaging enough to function.
Used to climb onto the grade school roof myself. Was pretty common for balls to get stuck up there, and easy enough to climb up and get them down again. The one time teachers got worried that I’d hurt myself and wouldn’t let me go, other kids complained their ball was stuck. One of the teachers got a big ladder, got it all set up, slipped while trying to go from the ladder to the roof, caught himself, but hurt his back. While he was being tended and the ladder put away, I climbed up, got the balls down, and climbed back down. They didn’t complain about my going on the roof again.
Interesting. Was it a single floor school? At least when I was a kid, schools had an indoor staircase that went to there roof.
Then again, i did go to metropolitan schools (Jersey City, for anyone curious). Schools were anywhere from 2 to 5 floors high, so loosing a ball to the roof was more of a challenge than a concern.
I think the suggestion is that one of the faculty members, likely janitorial, takes their smoke breaks on the roof away from children’s sight. That, or the older kids do it.
mina: keisha no!
Keisha: keisha YES!
“Vegeta, no!”
“Vegeta YES!”
well, at least amanda is honest – they can´t say they weren´t warned afterwards!
I totally climbed on the roof of my elementary school more than once. To be fair it was only a single story. Lots of frisbees up there.

Now that’s a blast from that past. I used to do that as well, ’till I got bigger…laterally.
Do these kids have shoes? The only full body shot of them is in #1075 and their feet are not green.
I want to say “Yes?”

They do look like they’re wearing shoes, but its a low detailed zoom pic and I haven’t seen feet ever since :/

If she knows about the cigarette butts that proves she did. Every school roof I climbed up to had them.
How old are these kids? I’m an elementary teacher,and this isn’t how they tend to talk in younger grades.

Um. Someone should tell those poor teachers that salieri children involved in sports will need to flush their gills more often.
Sarnothi* dang aurocorrect
And when autocorrect is supposed to do its job, it doesn’t. Dang autocorrect.
Salieri children are more into music, anyway.
XD Well Amanda’s earned a few points for honesty. But she really shouldn’t be scaring new folks.
Now I wanna know how Keisha climbed onto the roof. Like how? DX Why?
Why?
“Because it was there.” – Keisha (paraphrasing George Mallory)
XD Still don’t explain the how.
Eh, street cred in advance of proving that she’s Selkie’s sister, Selkie being the OTHER person in the room who started with a weird threat.
I knew a guy who climbed a gutter to get up our schools roof. Never was able to master it myself.
Thought you said “Climbed a guitar” at first and I was wondering if he just played Stairway really, really hard

Didn’t know she smoked.
