Lien's ears perked up when the voice of the head master once again piped through the ship. The girl couldn’t help but spring to her feet, her tail once again beginning to swish about eagerly. [b]”We're almost there!”[/b] She said with a wide grin, looking down to the girl who sat across from her. For a moment she could hardly keep from bouncing about on her feet.

Until a loud ominous creak screeched through the cabin causing her tail to stop as she was brought to full attention. Then it began to split apart. Lien's eyes opened wide as the sky came into view unobstructed, with the forest canopy below. Caught off guard the girl stumbled from the edge of the piece she stood on as it began to spin. She could catch glimpses of other students falling from the ship and trying their own surely hastily developed landing plans. Li shouted in free fall for a moment before she had to force herself to get her bearings straight. 

She gave a kick of her legs causing the dust propulsion in her boots to fire off sending her spinning until righting her position with her feet pointed towards the ground. She glanced around the area seeing nothing but falling degree around her. And worse yet, the tree's were rapidly approaching. [b]”Aaaarh! Well here goes nothing!” [/b] She yelled into the open air, psyching herself up for the first impact. When the first tree neared she reached for the closest branch she could, her hand landing with a sharp [i]smack[/i]. She didn't manage to grab hold but the wire hooks in the fingers of her gloves dug into the bark.

As she continued to descend the hooks would be torn free, the resistance having slowed her fall just a bit. She took that moment to aim her arm at another branch not far in the distance, the grappling whip of the Fox Tails firing off at it. The weighted end made contact and successfully wrapped around it a few times, the grappling end springing out and latching into the branch. Lien then fired off the jets in her boots once again sending her into a swinging motion, finally in control of her noisy descent. 

Having gained her control back, now it was time to show off a bit. Even if it was just to herself. As her swing reached its peak she unhooked her grapple allowing the whip to recoil back into her glove while she was flung into a rising flip. Nearly upside down she kicked her feet at an upward stretching diagonal branch, making firm contact and firing the Paw Pads again. Flipping around once again as she sped towards the ground she would kick off the next tree, continuing the series of flips downward in a clearly embellished downwards wall jumping maneuver.

When she was finally close enough to the ground to make a safe landing she flipped a few times in the air as she fell, righting her position for her feet to meet the ground a few moments before contact. She landed into a kneeling position with a potent thud before springing back up to her feet with her arms outstretched in a Y position. [b]”And she sticks the landing!”[/b] Lien called out into the forest, her head held high before she let her posture fall to a neutral position with a laugh of relief.

The fox eared girl then found herself looking around in the forest, setting her hands on her hips as she looked up towards the trees. [b]”I should have tried to land higher up now that I think about it...”[/b] She said to herself, her head tilting a bit as she started to walk through the forest, peeking around trees [b]”Oh well, I need to find a partner now...”[/b]
