Flight Club [Flight Shed]

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

Gavin may have gone overboard with the snacks and drinks today but he still felt bad (especially towards one person) about this weekend so he thought overloading on snacks might make people forget about this weekend. It worked out in his mind and all.

"Hey guys," he said, nodding. "Glad to see everyone's back to normal after this weekend. We're all probably used to the weird stuff happening but that doesn't make it any less weird. Anyway, glad to see you all back. Today, we're gonna take you back to where planes began. Mostly for this planet since we're here and the sim's got them programmed but I'll try and throw something up from other places, if I can. They may not be the fastest or the best looking but these are how things started way back when. It took trial and error to get the right design and, even now, people are still tinkering with designs to make them faster, better, and stronger. Today, we're going back and we're gonna fly the pokey aircraft just to get a feel of how far things have come."

He opened the sim's door and waited for each person to take a turn.

Wednesday was snack day. John liked Wednesdays.

"Did I miss anything?" Jaina asked, trying to look like she'd been here the whole time.

Re: Snack and Mingle

[solo_sword]

Jaina was a little late today, still trying to clean up the mess she'd left over the weekend, but she was here! See? Here!

Ben was snacking and mingling. Mm. Snacks.

Mmm, snacks. Tahiri was just going to hang out over here by the snack table as long as possible.

Ben gave her a quick smile. So sneaky and Jedi-like he was!

Snacks! Flying! If only she could do them at the same time, Momoko would be very happy.

"I think I can run faster than this thing was flying," Ben said as he climbed out of the Shooting Star.

Re: Flight Sim

[weetuskenraider]

"Wow," Tahiri said, emerging after a run in the Caproni Campini. "I think I could've gotten out and pushed and it would've gone faster."

She'd still almost crashed it again, though. And by almost we mean "worst landing ever."

"Whoooooooo!!!" Robin yelled as he took a running start and took off from the hilltop. Best club ever.

Agnes flew the Heinkel, and squealed with glee.

Talk to Gavin

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

He's there but not as slow as the aircraft.

Re: Talk to Gavin

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

"Gavin!" Anemone was practically bouncing, clutching some rolled-up blueprints (http://www.mahq.net/mecha/eureka7/eureka7-tv/r606.htm) in her hands. "I brought you giant robot toys!"

It had taken her months to break down some of techno-gibberish the Tresor scientists had kept spouting - she was a pilot, not a physicist - but hopefully the notes would be mostly-readable.

Re: Talk to Gavin

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Giant robot toys might be my three favorite words today," he said and laughed. "Let's see what you've got, if that's okay?"

Talk to Master Skywalker

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

Ask him about the article in today's paper!

Re: Talk to Master Skywalker

[sith_happened]

Anakin was there and hoping no one ever asked him about the article in today's paper.

Evereverever.
