Even now, he was JUUUUUST within grabbing distance of the lowest meteors, and Mo squished the glove down on his hand and reached out into space. A few streaks of light spun past, perhaps within grabbing distance but not close enough that he was willing to stretch for them.

Finally, one came close, and Mo extended his hand again. The meteor hit the edge of his glove and continued on past, although the impact set Mo to spinning backwards, head over feet. See? This was just as awesome as he'd thought.

Except now... feeling vommy. Someone stop him? "Help?"
That sounded like a good idea. Very Ravenclaw of him, yeah? "Okay, I can try." Alice held onto his ankle and kind of dangled there, kind of stuck. Was he going to go up again? She could feel Mo reaching up, because they moved forward a little, but then.. they were spinning, weren't they? It was even worse that she was still holding on to his leg, so she was hurtling around the room, too. But if she let go, that would probably send her ramming into a wall or something.

So she kept spinning, until they did smash into a wall, even though she hadn't let go or anything. .. OW. That hurt, y'know. But at least it stopped the spinning, right? And they were higher now, which meant that there were loads of meteors right there, within her reach. "Are you okay, Cactus?" Alice asked distractedly, reaching out to grab a yellow meteor. It didn't move.. and her gloved hand extended toward it.. YES.

"I'VE GOT ONE!" Finally.

Sherman was stuck. It wasn't easy maneuvering a wheelchair around in a place with no gravity, but he was somehow managing. The chair slowed him down a bit, though, which made it a little more difficult to catch the stars. The old man drifted all over the place, trying to grab at some, but it was still difficult. They moved fast, too fast. But he wouldn't give up, nope. If he was anything, it was persistent.

And. Finally, after AGES and AGES of attempting, a blue star was unable to avoid his grasp. Victorious!
