It was TIME now. Time for bouncing, which was pretty much the entire reason she'd chosen to turn into a kangaroo in the first place. She stared in front of her for much longer than she normally felt she had to look at anything. Her unclear vision was starting to become more of a problem now that she wanted to bounce all the places, considering it was so difficult to distinguish things that might be in her way. Nobody wanted to be knocked over by a rogue kangaroo, right? Okay she would definitely want to be knocked over by a rogue kangaroo, but it hadn't taken 15 years for her to figure out that sometimes she really different from other people. She used to think it was their loss, but it was harder to ignore now. Maybe she could ask Culloden to turn her into a kangaroo forever. There probably was no such thing as a weirdo kangaroo. Lucky them. They didn't even have to worry about being different.
Once she'd determined that the coast was (somewhat) clear, Norah geared up for her first bounce. Bending her legs as far as they could go, with her tail pressing against the ground for balance, she focused on a point about 2 meters away. Kangaroos were supposed to be able to jump FIVE meters if they wanted to, maybe even more. So this would work, right? 1....2...3! She kicked off the rickety floor and flew through the air...kind of. She landed with a satisfying THUMP, insitinctively pushing her tail down again so she wouldn't fall over. She'd only made it about half the distance she'd been hoping for, but it still TOTALLY counted.
