392 - Kite Mingle

[If you're outside today it will be hard to miss all the whimsical, high-flying kites. Might as well get some of your own or spend some time getting them out of trees.]

	[Kaya got herself a cute kite, but she hasn't played with one since she was a little girl. She runs a bit, but it's not working as intended.] How do I make it soar higher like the others...? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Maybe ... run with it? [Hi, Nico's here. But don't trust him to know what he's talking about. His childhood didn't leave much room for kites.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I-I'm trying, but even when I do it stays low. [The problem is that the string isn't unwound enough, but she has no idea.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe it's too heavy? [Though it doesn't look like it should be - no more so than any other kite its size, and there were definitely bigger ones up in the air.] You just need the wind to take it up... [It shouldn't be too hard. Little kids did it, right?] Why don't you take the string, and I'll take the kite, and we'll see if we can get it to launch? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She nods, more excited now.] That sounds like a plan! We should be able to do it together! [Overly optimistic, Kaya hands over the body of the kite to Nico.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2016-09-13 03:30 pm UTC (link)
	[He nods and takes the kite, backing away until the string is taut. It doesn't seem like enough, not enough to get it as high as the other kites.] Can you give it more line? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fadingsunshine 2016-09-17 10:44 pm UTC (link)
	Ah! Yeah! [She unravels for about two more meters/six more feet.] Is this good or do we need more? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2016-09-22 05:29 pm UTC (link)
	Let's try it. [He puts himself in the wind's path and lifts and kite up.] Don't let go of the string. [Once he feels the wind tugging on the kite, he lets it go.] (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You have to find the right air current. Try walking around until you find a place where it moves differently. Or pull the string to move it around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fadingsunshine 2016-09-09 06:52 pm UTC (link)
	The right current... Alright, I'll try to find another place where it works better. [She also pulls out some string, which wasn't unwound enough to allow it to go too high. As she looks around, she sees a place where plenty of people seem concentrated.] How about there, Sarah? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2016-09-12 02:30 am UTC (link)
	[Sarah follows the other girl's gaze.] Yeah... that'd probably work nicely. Let's head over there now. [She grabs her own kite and starts leading the way.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fadingsunshine 2016-09-17 10:10 pm UTC (link)
	[She follows.] Have you flown a kite before? I did when I was little, but my brother was the one handling it. I don't really remember it well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2016-09-20 09:40 pm UTC (link)
	[Sarah shrugged.] When I was little I think. Before my mom left. (Reply to this) (Parent)
