[Action (or video if you don't want to get close)] Do Not Get Covered In the Repulsion Gel
[Some of you may remember the last time Chell was jumping off the roof. That time, she was just doing it for the feeling of flying, of weightlessness, finding comfort in the familiar instead of interest in the unknown.
Her motives are a little different this time.
There are thick patches of colour littering the roof of the mansion and the grounds - it looks like paint, feels damp like gel, and acts like neither.
The blue stuff bounces, and Chell can be seen dropping things from the roof onto them, and watching to see which of what she's selected bounces higher, and -- well, not longer. Repulsion gel can last for a very long time, and the trajectory for objects rarely stay straight up and down, unless they could somehow steer themselves, and Chell does not have time to see how long she will continue to bounce on gel.There are experiments to run, there is research to be done!
There's another kind of gel on the roof: It's orange, and - slippery, for lack of a better way to describe it. Anything that slides down it picks up speed. She's not sure if it the speed maxes out - it's hard to monitor while she's on the gel, and there's surely nowhere in wonderland with a long enough stretch of ground ha ha ha ha ha, you're not thinking with portals!
There are two white panels about twenty feet apart, both about as tall as your average door. There's a glowing blue hole on one and a glowing orange hole on the other, and a thick line of gel forms an orange road between them. It looks like it continues through, but that's just an optical trick - obviously, these are portals, and what you're seeing is sort of a loop between them. Right now, Chell's just sliding an edgeless safety cube through it, but volunteers are (for once), welcome..
And finally, later in the day, after an elaborate set up of a propulsion gel runway terminating in a repulsion gel ramp a possible augmented fling from wherever she's about to land to an angled white panel on the roof, you can witness Chell flying through the air and landing an impressive distance away from the mansion, unharmed. It's fun, sure, but more importantly she's finding out how far she can physics herself away from the building.For science, obviously. Because you never know when you'll need to do an elaborate flinging loop to get away from something.]
[[ooc: so uh, choose your own adventure! I'll throw down comments for each thing and then you, dear player, can pick which odd physics breaking gel you want to mess around with, OR have Chell drop in on you for a visit! :D NOTE She will also give you some of this stuff, but only while drunk on the curiosity of science, so now would be the time to ask for your own physics breaking gel/dietary aid!]]

[ he is NOT AMUSED, and he's incredibly upset that he's somehow gotten himself into the world's worst constant motion machine. he's starting to feel a little sick, even. ]
Am I to understand that you're bringin' that hose over here because water is goin' t'help with my current situation, because if so, I might have an idea'a sorts...
[ good GOD this is getting tiresome. ]
Look at you, soaring through the air majestically, like an eagle... piloting a blimp!
It'll wash off--
[There he goes... And he's back.]
If I can catch you at the top--
[... And there,]
--Of your arc--
[Eh, that's enough to get the idea, right? She'll wait to see if he's on the same page or has a better idea.
It may be interesting to get her own data on human thought while airborne.]LMFAO. or an eagle piloting a billboard, in this case...
[ dear god do not spray him with that yet, he doesn't want to test the whole "death means nothing" thing right here OR right now ]
One of those blimps with like a screen on it maybe
Could you make it?
[Because...]
It's far --[shoot he's gone again... Ah, screw it-]away!
[Come on, man, let her try a risky portal maneuver. Actually thinking on it, to try what she has in mind she'll need a hose from the ground floor, so she drops the hose through the portal while she waits for confirmation/disagreement.]
ooh yeah perfect. and he can show movies on it for inflight specials
[ and goddammnit he has had QUITE ENOUGH of this yelling bullshit ]
IT IS CERTAINLY BETTER THAN--
[ and he's already starting to direct his course towards the ocean. ]
SHOOTIN' ME IN THE GODDAMN AIR WITH A HOSE!

A form's starting to fill out in her mind:
Question: How can I stop this man from bouncing without breaking something important?
Hypothesis: Catching him from the top of his arc can save him from a harmful fall.
Method: Set up portals, hose him on his way up or down, catch him.
Procedure:...]
Don't!
[A pause so he knows that sentence is disconnected from this:]
Stay close to the wall!
I have a plan.
[... Well whether he listens or not - she heads to where she sees another hose, on the mansion wall further down from them.]
