[So you may have gotten a telepathic message a few days ago about an expedition to map the coastline . . . or maybe you were invited along by a friend. Whatever the reason, it's bright and early this morning, and it's time to set out!

Characters would have gotten a further telepathic message from Jay with a date and time to meet outside the shacks. They'll be heading east along the "shore," tracking the coast, and then heading directly back towards base camp . . . who knows what they'll find along the way?]

Well, I think we mostly all still need to eat and stuff? As to fallin' through...I guess we could test it and maybe get tossed back, but.

1. Fridge #1 settles peacefully on the ocean floor, seemingly startling some fish. Or what look like fish, anyway.

2. Fridge #2 sinks placidly all the way down to the end of the ocean water -- and then just. Plunges into space. Soon enough, it's out of sight.]

...That's one way to tell.

[ THIS IS STILL THE MOST RANDOM POWER, TO HIM. ]

And we now know that whatever rockets us back here won't work on items?

[It is a truly random power, but he is doing his best!!]

If it's magic, or something else, maybe it doesn't work on magical things... [he's mostly muttering to himself, still stretched over the side of the beach staring into the void] Or if there was a way to test it on us without jumping.

[He's not that invested in figuring this out. Also he is pretty sure jumping into space is not recommended for humans.]

[parodeity]

I've actually seen people jump off. We get like, sling shotted back.
