 Post 1: Spring (Southern Hemisphere) and knocked into Autumn (also SH) Jupiter's Satellite
Tora stepped aside as there was a mass rush for the planetary costumes to plan her strategy. The pendulum had an obvious cadence, and if she timed it just right she wouldn't get hit! By the pendulum. No promises for the tons of other students, but she could always push past those! Once the lineup for the planet suits had eased up, she waited until the pendulum was a safe distance away and ran to put one on herself.
She situated herself a bit inside and waited for whatever the enchanted season would throw at her. Funny... there didn't seem to be anything going on? The globe was still clear, she didn't feel any change in temperature, and there wasn't anything- oh. Oh no. Tora had looked up to see ominous clouds gathering at the top of the costume. She cursed just as the rain began. What kind of Autumn was this?! And did it rain! It was raining so hard, she could barely see out of once clear globe. She stuck out a wet hand and wiped the water droplets off the side so she could see where the pendulum was, which was of course headed her way. She immediately jumped into action, frantically running and pushing against the side of the costume. It just skimmed her on the way outside the circle of running students. Luckily she hadn't slipped on the water coating the inside or she would have gotten hit by the pendulum. Speaking of the rainstorm, she looked up at the continually darker clouds. This obviously wasn't any kind of Autumn she had seen. Fall was dry. And chilly. This weather was humid and warm and rainstormy. So spring? That didn't make any sense, they were supposed to start in fall. Her thoughts were interrupted by a flash of light and an EXTREMELY loud
BOOOM
Now she was scared. If it was lightning in her little orb, she could get struck by lightning! After all, she was standing in water and was the tallest thing in the costume. How could she not? But before she could fret about getting attacked by the weather she was thrown to her right, rolling towards the big ball of light that was the "Sun". The pendulum she had narrowly missed before had hit her on it's return journey while she wasn't paying attention. She squeezed her eyes shut tight as she passed through the light and onto the other side. This is where the storm stopped and the wind began.
