Who: George Lass and Liam Stewart
What: Match-Up
When: Friday afternoon
Where: The Streets of Madison
Warnings: TBD
Status: Incomplete
George wore the required helmet for skateboarding mostly to avoid being hassled by the cops about it. Technically, she didn't need it. Being undead meant any injury was transitory, though she supposed it might be upsetting to witnesses who didn't know that. The pain associated with injuries was also fleeting--but it still hurt. So she didn't only wear the helment, and knee and elbow pads and gloves just to satisfy the cops.
All of these thoughts crossed her mind in an instant as she flew through the air.
She'd been longboarding down one of Madison's longer inclines, moving at quite a clip through the mostly-empty street (she wouldn't try this downtown, where there was a lot of traffic). She had crouched to use the braking pad on her glove as she came around a curve, and was just standing up again. An electrician's truck was crossing the street ahead of her, but they'd clear the intersection before she got there.
And they did. All except the ladder which rattled its way off the back of the truck and fell into the road directly in front of George. She had no time to try to stop or evade it. Her skateboard crashed into the heavy metal ladder and came to an abrupt halt. George did not.
"Shit!" she yelled, as she flew forward. This is gonna suck!
