Anakin stands in front of a door to a new shed located just outside of the gym. Inside is a gleamingly new flight simulator, currently programmed for a series of simulations for a Jedi Starfighter.

He turned and addressed the crowd.

"Okay. We have about twenty people signed up for the Flight Club right now, which is great. I've decided that in order to give everyone a chance for some hands-on experience, we'll have both a flight sim and a practical demonstration available every week." He gestured into the shed. "My old teacher has sent us a flight simulator. It's capable of almost unlimited variations in programming. Currently I've set it for the ship I'm most familiar with, the Jedi Starfighter, but if you can get a flight sim of the craft from your home world or dimension, we can upload it as well and learn to fly your ships." He grinned. "I'd rather us crash and burn in the sim than in the real thing. Less paperwork."

He smiled at Harry, Kiki, and Draco. "Today's practical demonstration will be with broomsticks. Draco, Harry, and Kiki have graciously agreed to show us all how to fly on these."

Anakin held up his hand. "One more thing. If you can all sign the sheet and mention your flight experience, especially if you're licensed on your world for your craft of choice, it'll go a long way towards making the insurance people who cover the school happier.

"That's it. Have fun. Don't break my sim. Or yourselves."

[OOC: Feel free to slowplay this--Anakin'll answer all flight sim requests and our three broom instructors are in three different time zones.]

"Sounds good to me," Cameron grinned, definitely looking forward to trying this out.

Anakin shut the door with a smile. "Have fun."

As soon as the simulation, Cameron took hold of the controls. It took a moment before he was able to remember them all, but after a moment of flying in the complete long direction and seeing the planet getting quite a lot bigger, he managed to get the hang of it and was soon enjoying the experience, spiraling about and making fancy moves. Occasionally a whoop would probably be heard outside of the Sim.

It might be a long time before he would get back out again.

After about fifteen minutes, the door popped open. Anakin's head came into view. "Sorry about that, man, but we've got a bit of a line. Have fun?"

"Oh right, sorry." Cameron unstrapped from the seat. "Definitely, that's totally awesome, man. I can only imagine that the real thing is even more fun."

Anakin gets a gleam in his eyes. "Oh yeah. Once you get better at it, I'll let you play with the weapons systems. That's when it gets really interesting."

"I bet," Cameron is practically bouncing by now. "I really wish we had fighters like that on Earth."

Anakin almost laughed in delight at Cam's enthusiasm. He didn't because it didn't go with his whole brooding thing, but it was close. "Good thing you're at Fandom High, then." He gestured towards the sim. "It can be programmed for Earth-bound aircraft, too, but I'm not familiar with them. Do you have any suggestions?"

"Ever heard of an F-16?" Cameron aksed. "They're the aircraft that I'll get to fly when I join up. Of course, it's going to be hard stepping back after hearing about the crafts most people hear get to fly. Well, except for the broom thing."
