Quite a thrill, wot!

Invisible choir: Let's go fly a kite and send...it... soaring... Up to the stratosphere, up where the air is clear....

*The local wildlife is rather alarmed when, accompanied by the massed voices of an otherworldly choir, two figures and a large moth, dangling from the ends of brightly coloured kites, swoop over the Dunnfalls*

*Up above, Zeriphel sees the top of the falls, and the rapids that precede it...*

I say, Janis, looks like fun, wot! Come on!

*With a whoop of delight, Zeph's kite changes direction until he is skimming over the surface of the water. Then, as if there was nothing unusual about this, he puts down his feet, and begins to waterski on the rapids*

Huzzah! Come on Janis, the ol'kite'll do whatever you like!

[Coriolis]

ARE YOU SO SURE?!?!?!?!?!

*Being unexpectedly launched skyward is rapidly becoming a major phobia for Coriolis. It hurt like hell the last time and this time isn't shaping up to be much different!*

*The kite takes a rapid power dive toward the water, Letting off a mechanical scream not unlike a cartoon dive-bomber. Birds, branches, trees and rocks rocket past him at an uncontrollable speed....*

[glow=red,2,300]SPLASH![/glow]

*A long trail of bubbles torpedo up the rapids for several hundred yards before a beddraggled Watcher once again finds himself flying upward to the heavens...*

WHERE'S THE BRAKES ON THIS DAMN THING?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[Zeriphel]

*Not only has Coriolis come up gasping and wet, but he's covered in a particularly tough weed which was growing just beneath the surface.*

*Zeph picks a flower from the bank side as he skims past, and he's just tucking it into his waistcoat, which has itself just appeared, when he sees Coriolis*

I say old chap! What a bit of luck, y'know I think that weed is very good for leaching poison out of wounds, y'should make it into a bandage when we stop...

Y'see Janis, if you go they way the chaos takes you, who knows what you might find... right, just one last bit of fun and we'll be off to find your friend!

*Before Janis' horrified eyes, Zeph waterskis straight over the falls, drops until nearly in the basin then swoops up into the air. In his excitement he's let some magic loose, and a flock of flying fish rise from the falls with him*

C'mon! Let's go!

*As if on cue, the choir reaches it's grand swell*

Choir: Up where the air is clear... let's all GO............. FLY A KITE!

[Coriolis]

*The choir sings with an otherworldly gusto, The Watchers kite takes on a spurt of thrust..... and Kite plus mortally terrified Watcher dissapper into the night...*

[Zeriphel]

*Zeph checks the neon sign, it's glowing brightly*

Not far now!

*And the kites begin their descent into Wolfenden*
