...We'd be above it, wouldn't we? [THIS IS COMPLICATED TERRITORY AGAIN]

[vytis]

Whatever we were standing on would be connected to something that's connected to the ground, right? Electricity moves through some things more easily than others, so we'd want to make sure whatever we were standing on is the thing it wants to go through, and not us. [Another pause.] Rubber might help, as well.

[This is really not Lithuania's expertise--though the name escapes him, there's someone else at home he'd really rather ask about all this.]

Hm... it must travel through wood for lightning to strike trees, correct?

[vytis]

It travels through most things, but some things agree with it more--metal conducts electricity pretty well, for example... [This is starting to reach the limits of Lithuania's knowledge, too.]

...Well, what is 'rubber' then?

[vytis]

It's--material that's made from rubber trees. It's used to make shoe soles and certain kinds of gloves and, ah, bouncy balls, too, I suppose...
