Flight Club [after classes]

[momslilassassin]

Ben stood a little uncomfortably in front of the flight simulator. "Hey, everyone. Sorry for the delay getting the club started. I kind of had to head out on a mission...thing...a few weeks ago. Anyway, welcome to Flight Club, where we'll do the introduction thing to figure out where everyone's expertise lies. I'm Ben, I've been flying pretty much anything my parents would let me from the time I could see over the control panels."

"And I was a little busy," Tahiri added, looking sheepish. "I'm Tahiri, and I haven't been flying nearly as long as Ben has, but I've gotten a good bit of it in the past couple of years." She was being nice and not mentioning how. "Anyway, since we know all of you probably come from different worlds and all, we've got a couple of different options for you: space flight, if you think you're up to it, or something a little easier with the landspeeder scenario."

Why did she have the weirdest urge to steal a landspeeder?

Ben had no idea, but he wasn't going to let him near his red one at home, just in case. "And our advisor is Master Skywalker," he said, pointing, "who's here mostly to make sure you don't break his flight sim, so please be careful, okay?" He gave a brief run-through of how the controls on the landspeeder worked. "And the space flight option is in a light freighter, which is kind of like the family sedan back home." Only much bigger, of course.

Hey. Tahiri wasn't going to steal his speeder, okay? She did take a turn to go over the freighter's controls, and she was trying not to talk too quickly, but it was habit, so -- "If you need any extra help, feel free to ask either of us. Oh, and don't feel bad if you crash out a few times. Some of us," she said, grinning wryly, "have done that more times than we want to admit. That's why it's a sim."

"Better to be fake space dust than real space dust," Ben said with a nod. "Anyway, have fun! That's kind of the point of this."

There are more people than simulators--time to chat up your fellow students!

Re: Mingling [3/1]

[likes_scoundrels]

It was oddly comforting to be around a tech level -- even if simulated -- that she was more accustomed to, so Leia was in a fairly good mood.

Re: Mingling [3/1]

"Hi, Aunt Leia," Ben said with a grin. "How was your vacation?"

Re: Mingling [3/1]

Kurt waved at what's-her-name-from-class and grinned, bouncing excitedly.

Re: Mingling [3/1]

Anemone was practically a bouncing ball of glee, eager to be back in the sim. She'd missed flight club, darn it, and a simulated flight was better than none.

Re: Mingling [3/1]

[momslilassassin]

Ben was almost as excited. "Hi!"

Re: Mingling [3/1]

[bamf-tastic.livejournal.com]

Kurt saw that Anemone was also bouncind, so he bounced up to her and grinned widely. "Is this gonna be as fun as I think it's gonna be???"

If there was any place in the world that Warren figured he ought to be comfortable about letting his wings free at, it was probably Flight Club. And so, wings and all, he was there and looking more or less relaxed about it.

And occasionally stretching, just because he could. Ah, freedom.

Re: Mingling [3/1]

[momslilassassin]

Ben practically bounced over to Warren. "Hi!"

Re: Mingling [3/1]

[bamf-tastic.livejournal.com]

Kurt took a break from bouncing excitedly to raise an eyebrow at Warren and point at his wings. "It's not THAT kind of Flight Club," he jested.

Momoko stood as close as she could get and just sparkled at him.

Re: Mingling [3/1]

[bamf-tastic.livejournal.com]

Kurt was bouncing excitedly as he waited for his turn. He hadn't flown anything in MONTHS.

Re: Mingling [3/1]

[heromaniac]

Momoko was bouncing on her toes trying to be patient and wait for a turn at a sim. She was happy to see new people in the club, though, and couldn't wait to hear introductions!

Flyyyyyy [3/1]

Re: Flyyyyyy [3/1]: Landspeeder

[momslilassassin]

In the atmospheric choice of this week, you're in a landspeeder negotiating traffic on Coruscant. It's moving fairly quickly, but there is a pattern to it! Ben swears there is.

Ben might be a little delusional.

Re: Flyyyyyy [3/1]: Light freighter

[momslilassassin]

In your first chance to fly in space, Ben and Tahiri have made sure there's nothing nearby for you to hit. Well, there's a planet...

Please don't hit the planet.

Talk to the Organizers

[momslilassassin]

Hello, Ben and Tahiri!

Re: Talk to the Organizers

[momslilassassin]

Ben was there and eager to answer questions about the simulations.

Re: Talk to the Organizers

[weetuskenraider]

Tahiri was there, still suppressing the weird urge to round up Jaina and Mirax, steal a landspeeder, and take it on a high-speed chase.

What was that all about?

Anyway, she'd be happy to answer any questions too.

Talk to the Advisor [3/1]

[momslilassassin]

Hello, Anakin!

Re: Talk to the Advisor [3/1]

[sith_happened]

Anakin was lurking in the back, watching the students very carefully to make sure they didn't get fingerprints on the sim break anything.

OOC

Massive apologies for our forgetfulness the past few weeks about the club!
