Damien stuff

Chapter 38: Stratosphere

Notes:

This... Probably takes place DURING the 3-year timeskip...

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Edgar: Alright. We're taking up space on land at such an alarming pace that I believe we should move forward with the find another home project, with your assistance.

Damien: ... Ok... I'm awaiting my orders... Your highness...

Edgar: Good. I need you to fly up all the way to the top of the stratosphere without any protection and see how long you can survive there.

Damien: ... Uhh... Studies say that I'd pass out within seconds (to minutes) and that I'd die within a few minutes or so... Also, the atmospheric pressure is quite low compared to the atmospheric pressure on land, so there'd be much less oxygen for me to breathe in...

Edgar: Yes, yes. However, science is based on EXPERIMENTS, not STUDIES. I think?

Damien: ...

Edgar: Anyways, we shall never know unless we try. Am I correct?

Damien: [He thinks to himself] (Now I know where Will gets his idiocy from...)






Damien: [He flies to the top of the stratosphere on his broom]

Edgar: Well, so far so good. You see? You're alive and well.

Edgar: Everybody, look! We're making history today. Perhaps the stratosphere IS habitable.

Edgar's wife: [She deadpans] Uh, dear... He's already passed out, developed hypothermia, developed decompression sickness, and... Is about to perish...

Edgar: ...

Edgar: I shall contact my lawyer.

Notes:

Honestly, he probably should have died, let alone lost consciousness far BEFORE he reached the top of the stratosphere, which is at 50km. He probably could have died at 15km into the air, but I suppose I gave him a little bit of plot armor...
