Free Fall
Ivy seems to really enjoy her "dropping" game. If you could, would you try it? (Assuming you had complete control of the process the way she does?) Similarly, would you/do you enjoy the thrill of a free-fall ride, or are such things just too extreme for you?

Similarly, would you/do you enjoy the thrill of a free-fall ride, or are such things just too extreme for you? Of course I'd try it! I'm told, that from my description, I am a bit acrophobic (that I have a slight fear of heights) but really I have no problems with heights, my fear is of falling. If I had total control over that I would probably spend most of my time on top of buildings, playing the freefall game, and testing just how high I could go while doing tricks and tracing patterns in the air.

Ivy is very brave to do her dropping game, but then she would be, since she knows she's not going to fall completely and hurt herself, still it seems like an action that would take some guts to do. Even if I had full control over the game I wouldn't want to play it because the rush that would come from falling that fast would be way too much and the fear of losing my breath/something going wrong, what if the control was lost through some neurological error for example. I don't like scary free-fall rides because they go too high and I hate heights and also because on rollercoasters I have lost my breath before even if it was just momentarily and really don't want to go through something like that in a bigger way. Maybe if as a child I hadn't had asthma/bronchitis/breathing attacks things would be different with rides but the fear is still there even though the asthma has gone long ago. It would be nice to be able to not worry and go on those rides cause for the most part the people who try them seem to have so much fun, and even if they are speechless afterwards in shock, they still acknowledge how cool it was. Maybe if Ivy was holding me in her arms I would consider trying that game, but certainly not alone. Um, hopefully in that case she wouldn't pee all over me, hahaha.

It's skydiving, only with superpowers instead of a parachute! I would totally try it, if only to find out what terminal velocity feels like. I would likely get bored of it, though. Rollercoasters are fun because they keep changing direction unexpectedly; rides that just drop you are not very interesting.
