Flight club, Imperial junkyard and then some, 4 pm

[can_be_more]

When the Flight Club members get to the junkyard today, Aeryn's standing in front of an actual ship. Aeryn herself is still looking a little battered, but she's not addressing it at the moment. Just pay attention to the ship.


"This is not a simulator," she tells them. "This is a Leviathan transport pod. It's not a fighter ship, and in fact has no weapons. The Leviathan is a living ship, very peaceful, and is often used to transport cargo or people. It grows smaller ships like this which can help that." She debates throwing in a bit about And if you break it, you hurt it but she doesn't think that's true and doesn't want anyone crying if they do something wrong.

"We're just going offplanet," she continues. "I'll get us up there and down again, unless someone really wants to land us. You can fly around, get a feel for how the systems really work. You don't have to worry about hitting anything, and if you do something wrong, I'll be in the chair right next to you, able to fix it. For those of you experienced pilots who think this is boring? You're back in space, enjoy it. Also, if you need it-" She holds up a small paper bag. "-motion sickness pills."

She leads everyone who's going to go inside, where several folding chairs are set up behind the standard four. Don't worry, Bertam's stuck them to the ground but good. When everyone's seated, she sits in one of the front seats and starts up the ship, taking it off the ground, and doesn't stop until they've reached nothing but black space. The Earth is still visible through the window, though.

"All right," Aeryn asks. "Who's first?"


[They're going to be out in the middle of nowhere. Seriously, you can't crash the ship. You can't damage it by pushing a wrong button. Which is good as that would get them stranded in space or vent the cabin or something and we're not playing that out, omg.
Also we are ignoring the last line in the Wiki. *nods*
OCD is a-comingup.]

Take your turn

[can_be_more]

Aeryn is not letting you crash anything. She's had enough of that or a week.

Re: Take your turn

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

Evie's waving her arm frantically and hopefully. "Oh, please. Please? Can I go first? Please?"

Re: Take your turn

[can_be_more]

Okay, get the heart attack over with. Aeryn gestures to the seat next to her for Evie to sit. There's a control panel stretching before both of them. Aeryn's really glad for the both of them part.

Evie sat down, eyes huge as she looked out into space. "Oh, my. Right. Okay. Steering, and acceleration, and brakes--" She carefully touched the braking mechanism. "Eee! Oh. Oh, that wasn't so bad, was it?"

Re: Take your turn

"Well, I don't get to go first, but I'd still like a turn," Alec said, grinning.

Re: Take your turn

[can_be_more]

She gestures to the seat beside her. "Go on then," she says. She's okay with letting him handle this, too. And she's really grateul for that.

Re: Take your turn

He takes the seat, accelerating slowly as he gets a feel for the pod's controls. "So is this one of your machines?"

Naomi waited for her turn, she was very relieved that it wasn't going to be like her detention on Saturday.

Re: Take your turn

[can_be_more]

When the seat's empty, Aeryn asks, "Are you ready?"

Re: Take your turn

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

"Yes," Naomi nodded as she climbed in.

"Duuude. Sweeeeeeet."

Don't let his exterior fool you. He won cookies from Anakin for his skillz at flying stuff.

Re: Take your turn

[can_be_more]

"Is that good?" Aeryn asks, indicating for him to sit.

Re: Take your turn

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Luke grinned. "Please?" he asked before staring off into space again.

Being Force-sensitive in a living ship was distracting in the best kind of way.

Re: Take your turn

[can_be_more]

"All yours," she tells him. "Take a seat."

Talk to each other

[can_be_more]

You're sitting in a living transport pod in a folding chair in outer space. What's not to talk about?

Broots was glued to the window and might have to be convinced to actually fly. He was totally ignoring the feelings of nausea.

Re: Talk to each other

[can_be_more]

Aeryn looks over her shoulder, asking, "How are you doing back there?"

Talk to Aeryn

[can_be_more]

Like you haven't enough already.

Re: Talk to Aeryn

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Luke loitered after the rest of the club members had left. "Thanks for that," he said.

If he was asked if he was checking up on Aeryn, he'd deny it.

Mostly because he wasn't consciously aware that was what he was doing.

Re: Talk to Aeryn

[can_be_more]

"It probably should be put to good use, if it's going to be here," she shrugs. "No need for thanks.

OOC

I'm actually using a scene-appropriate icon today! Though this will totally go better than that ep.
