Jason can potentially land himself alright. He'd have to bleed off the energy taken from the fall pretty quickly though, terminal velocity would build up a fairly large boom. :P

@Korkoa Use it to cushion the others. =P

Hmm, it seems static lines are commonly used...not sure if that's the original method or if we'd have a ring to pull. Either way, it looks like you really, /really/ need either training, or someone you're attached to if you wanna jump properly, given that you need to keep a steady body position and not be tumbling to have the chute deploy properly.

*stops the research and tries to focus on writing* ^.^;;

Now that I think about it, Óscar could just "swim" down by just putting enough water around him and slowly guiding it down, but too risky and edgy :^)

@MegaOscarPwn The water would be falling at the same rate as him. So...no.

@Lady Selune ...you realize you could make them form earlier, and then have had a bit of training, at least individually if not as a group? =P I could see maybe not gathering them together until after so as not to present the German Luftwaffle with a single target. But it's fine. Bel just doesn't approve. =P

But yeah, I'm a bit obsessive. ^.^ Just...ignore me. =P Anyone with sense does, at least to some degree. <3

Oh, @Lady Selune I've been meaning to ask. I had meant to add a violin to Jason's equipment, but completely spaced on it when I wrote his CS. Can I add that in now, or should we just leave it behind?

As we are soon going to parachute into France, a scene from the Band of Brother popped into my mind. Just a friendly reminder how much a single paratrooper packed for D-Day.

@Oak7ree a lot. All soldiers train with a great deal of gear -- something the civvies probably can't do unless they're already rather strong.

I know. I served in the Finnish Defence Forces for six months as an infantryman, so I have some experience.

Nah, it was nothing. There's still conscription in effect here in Finland, and it is seen quite normal here.

@Oak7ree Ah, so like in Israel. Still, I don't think I'd've done well in an army.

@MegaOscarPwn advice: use past tense. Don't worry about comparing. As long as you give us something to work with, and put thought in, you are contributing. Either we have fun and everyone wins, or /everyone/ loses. RP is a team venture!
