Flight Club - Flight Shed, Monday (After Classes)

[weetuskenraider]

Your intrepid club leaders didn't look particularly cheerful today, after the weekend. And Tahiri, in particular, looked like she was ready to climb into an actual cockpit and not just a simulation -- crisp flight suit, boots (ugh), very compact travel bag.

"Hey, guys," she said, hands tucked behind her back. "After this weekend we could probably use a pretty easy day, huh?"

Ben kept sneaking glances at her outfit, looking unhappy. "Or possibly a chance to shoot things in a safe environment," he added. Which he really wanted to do. "So our land-based option today is speeder bikes," he said, then went through the basic controls of one.

"You'll like those," Tahiri added, going for cheerful and missing by a few centimeters. "If you think you're up for it, today's spaceflight option is one that isn't actually from our galaxy, even though the ship looks kind of similar to some of our snubfighters . . . it's a Viper Mark II." It was her turn to go over the controls there, which took a while; the Mark II wasn't known for having a technologically advanced instrument panel. "The tricky thing about these is they don't carry lasers. Those guns carry actual ammo. Well -- simulated actual ammo, anyway, so it'll have a different kind of kick. Just keep that in mind while you're shooting things, okay?"

Ben nodded. "Have fun, guys."

How glad are you to be yourself again?

Warren Worthington III, who still has daddy issues.

Because you can't all party in the simulator.

Presuming Ben had actually let her out, Leia was there. She was fairly subdued, but she wasn't the type to hide her in room due to emo, so. Besides, if her father was going to be there, she really need to talk to him. And Tahiri.

Viper or speeder bike? Anemone was waffling back and forth as she tried to decide between the two as she waited.

Re: Mingling [FC 3/8]

Warren was... a little fidgety, maybe. Mostly confused. Whoever he'd been over the weekend, that guy had been cranky.

He felt far more comfortable in his own skin. And feathers.

Momoko wasn't bouncing, but she was smiling! And totally willing to mingle!

She was staring at the sim choices today, not sure if she wanted to fly the speeder bike and feel the wind in her hair, or try the spaceship and blow things up. People seemed to be liking the blow stuff up part a lot.

On the other hand, leaving early and hitting the air on her own was looking pretty tempting, too.

Kurt bounced around in his usual bouncy way.

Fly! [FC 3/8]

[weetuskenraider]

In your two subthread options . . .

Fly! - Speeder Bikes [FC 3/8]

[weetuskenraider]

There are several terrain options for you to choose from, but plenty of things to shoot no matter what.

Fly! - Viper Mark II [FC 3/8]

[weetuskenraider]

Seriously, this thing is awfully primitive looking if you ask Tahiri, much less Ben . . .

Since Kurt had already spend the morning on a speeding robotic unicorn (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/2402239.html), he decided to go for the ship.

Besides, he'd never been allowed to fire the X-Jet's weapons.

It turned out that shooting asteroids into little bits was harder than it seemed.

Talk to the Organizers [FC 3/8]

[weetuskenraider]

They're there! If not in the best of moods . . .

Re: Talk to the Organizers [FC 3/8]

[weetuskenraider]

If you wanted to talk to Tahiri, you'd better do it before the club meeting was over; she looked like she was taking off right after that.

Re: Talk to the Organizers [FC 3/8]

[likes_scoundrels]

Leia indeed wanted to talk to her. "Tahiri?" she said, approaching her slowly.

Re: Talk to the Organizers [FC 3/8]

[weetuskenraider]

Tahiri gave her a long, quiet, assessing look before nodding. "Hi, Leia."

Re: Talk to the Organizers [FC 3/8]

Ben was there after he'd taken a turn shooting the hell out of fake things, looking a little more relaxed.

But not much.

Re: Talk to the Organizers [FC 3/8]

[weetuskenraider]

Tahiri had a good idea why he wasn't looking much more relaxed, or at least one of the reasons. She slipped over, silently, and gave his hand a quick squeeze.

Talk to the Advisor [FC 3/8]

[weetuskenraider]

And Force only knows what Anakin's mood is like.

Re: Talk to the Advisor [FC 3/8]

[sith_happened]

Well, he wasn't going to kriffing cry about anything today, but he was the very definition of Unhappy today.

Thank you for the voicemails, Ben.

Re: Talk to the Advisor [FC 3/8]

[likes_scoundrels]

And the subject of said voicemails wanted to speak to him. "Master Skywalker," Leia said. Calling him "father" still felt too weird. "Dad" was out of the question.

OOC [FC 3/8]

Don't you just love the aftermath of AU weekend?

I have the sound effects to Pitfall stuck in my head now. Thanks. :P
