Light as a feather, heavy as a rock

[aphelion-mod.livejournal.com]

At some point this morning you noticed it. You started to feel... light. And then lighter still. As if gravity were losing its grip.

The feeling slowly grew, and then just as slowly began to fade away. You felt weight return to you, pressing your feet with comforting solidity against the floor... only to start slipping away from you once again.

Gravity comes in waves; the changes are noticeable over periods of a couple of hours or so. At your lightest, you are experiencing about 0.5 g. Sometimes gravity is normal; occasionally it swings as high as 1.1 g, and you feel a bit heavy. Anyone spending time in the observation deck may notice the Sun sliding slowly across the sky as well, as the rotating asteroids wobble on their axes.

This continues all day.

April 7//Open

Date: April 17
Characters: Open to all characters
Location: Control room may lead to the Rec Room
Summary: The feeling of light and heavy is making James think and wonders
Warnings: none (at the moment)

Starting off James didn’t really notice it but as the day wore on he did. At times he felt lighter, moving his body with ease, not getting a little winded from moving as much at times. Then others he felt like he was dragging, his feet more shuffling than not. He felt this once before but in greater degree when he was on the “vomit comet” that prepared him for his U2 flight.

“Gravity,” he said, “something is going on with it.”

He headed towards the control room and sat down at the computer.
