Saturday Morning, Detention--Danger Shop

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

In a surprisingly neat hand, the following list had been posted to the door:

Detention: Saturday, February 23

Eve Levine
John Sheppard
Karal Austreben
Liir Thropp
Teyla Emmagan
Yasutora "Chad" Sado

Vala was grinning as they entered, then locked the door behind them. "Good morning, my minions. Welcome to a life of freedom and debauchery, at least until lunch, when you return to your normal everyday routines, which anywhere other than Fandom would be quite dull."

[ooc: OCD a'comin' is up. Play away! ETA: Oops. So, yeah. I forgot to mention that any tools are fully available and moddable.]

Liir landed on the top of the ship and looked around the metallic monstrosity for something that looked like an opening. He found it shortly, a hatch of some sort that was relatively light (lighter than it'd looked). It led to a darkened room, lit only by a few windows to the outside. It took him a few minuts to find his way towards the main entrance (or the bottom entrance or whatever) but eventually he managed to open the hatch there and lower it slowly to the ground.

Karal scampered over, quick as a bunny, and dashed into the ship. "Glory, I'm glad you had your broom!" he said, looking around. "There were guards, so we'd best leave as quickly as we can."

"I always have my broom," he said with a roll of his eyes as he pulled the hatch back up.

"Do you have," he said quietly, almost a whisper though he was quite sure they were alone in the ship, "any idea of how to work this thing?"

He nodded towards a hallway.

"This way up to what I think is the main room."

Karal set his booty safely down, then trotted down the hallway. "I may have half an idea," he ventured, peering into the control room. "I think. Gavin once showed me how to fly in the simulator. I remember, and this looks similar enough." He stood a deep breath, and nodded once. "I can try, in any event."

"You'll have a much better chance than I would," he said, happy to sit back and let Karal figure it out. It looked all too complicated.

No matter how badly he got it wrong, the worst that could happen was they wouldn't get away. With that in mind, he sat in the chair, closed his eyes briefly to call up his one and only time in the flight simulator.

It took some time, and some entirely unexpected beeping noises, and one wailing protest, but he finally got it started. "You definitely have to sit down, and do up the safety straps," he said, buckling himself in.

"These things?" he asked, holding up the odd 'buckle'.

He attempted to figure it out, but made sure to hold on.

"All right. Vkandis watch over us," he said fervently, in something that was clearly a prayer.

The ship lifted, wobbled, hit the ground again, lifted...Karal held his breath, worked the controls, prayed some more, and this time the ship kept lifting.

Pity he had no idea that he was supposed to retract the landing gear. Even if he had, he wouldn't have known how.

As a result their progress was slow, bumpy, and wobbling more than any ship should. "Horses are much better," he muttered.

"I've never rode one," he admitted shakily. "But I prefer my broom, yes."

There was a long pause, though, before he asked.

"Are you sure you know what you're doing?"

Re: Earn a Living--Part II

"Absolutely not sure, not in the least." He'd never wanted Gavin so badly in his entire life. "Sunlord take the thing." With another deep breath, he made himself relax, which made his hands relax, which let the ship smooth out a touch.

"All right," he said. "As long as we're clear on that."

Though he smiled at Karal as the ship smoothed out a little.
