I'm working on a short story for the Quarantine Love Stories competition that @StellaThomas is holding, but I've run into a little problem - I need a lot of wild things for someone to do while stuck in a mansion during quarantine. They need to be the kind of activities you can get a rush of adrenaline from, as well as something that has a high potential of going wrong.

The story was actually inspired by the Batman fandom's quarantine drabbles over on Tumblr, so I'm imagining the type of chaos a superhero/vigilante might get into when they can't leave the house for a few months.

For context: one of the characters is an incredibly smart and rich teenager who built a robot, while the other one is the (far more cautious and levelheaded) robot she created. The teen's parents were out of the country when quarantine hit, so they're pretty much on their own.

Now that you have all of the context, here's the question from the thread's description again:

How would you spend quarantine in a mansion?

Find hidden rooms and secrets hiding in such a big house.

Race down hallways.

Take a mattress and surf or sled down staircases.

Read all the books.

Create a slip and slide.

Create forts.

Pretend to be a rich prince/princess.

Rollerskate through the house.

Play floor is lava.

Grab a fireproof blanket and a fuel source and cook fried breakfast in the living room.

Open *all* of the windows to see if they can get a through draft big enough to fly a kite in the stairwell.

Make a tightrope along the biggest corridor to walk/hang across.

Grab a tent and camp on the roof.

Create an obstacle course across an entire quarter of the house. Include stairs, cupboards, furniture, and balconies.

Paint a huge mural on one of the walls.

Try to build a homemade bomb.

Try to ride a bike down the stairs.

Slide down the banister on largest staircase.

Try to create a nuclear reactor. (Hey, you said she was smart and rich)

Buy a plane on Ebay and learn to fly it. Without lessons

Build a suit like Ironman's.

These are just the one's I've thought of so far. xD
And yes, I know that they are really crazy and totally unsafe....

Btw, you are totally free to take them and use them for your story.

Dude. Sock slide. Possibly down stairs. With the bonus of this potentially ending very badly, depending on where one lands *nods*

Mattress surfing.

Swinging from the chandeliers (hello Sia)

... paint balling? / nerf guns

Create a potato gun/jumped up version since they're so tech



ALSO I am very excited for this
