Into the Black [Tuesday evening]

Anakin was in a mood.

He opened the door to the flight shed with entirely unnecessary vehemence and began tinkering with the flight sim, hoping the familiarity of fixing something would calm him down.

It was still in pieces when the rest of the club arrived two hours later.

"Um," he said, rubbing a grubby hand through his hair. "I was trying to set this up to be like the Viper that Lee talks about, but it turns out it's gonna take a little bit more work. If you're handy with a toolbox, feel free to come over here and give me a hand. If not--" he gestured at the movie screen, "I've found a sneak preview of some holo called Snakes on a Plane. I don't they're actually flying the plane, but the lead actor ~~reminds me of someone I know~~ ~~scares me to death~~ is supposed to be pretty good."

He turned back to the simulator.

Anakin looked up, a gleam in his eyes. "It's flight ready?" he asked.

"It's flight ready. I'm not certain if it's properly sealed for space flight, but flying it in atmo should be fine. We just, erm, might wanna run a few tests before doing anything fancy. 'Cause, like, Bridge helped put it together."

"Sounds great." He grinned at Cally. "Count Lee and I in."

"Maybe we can set something up over break or something. Yeah. Just let me know. You can check the ship out on the dorm roof whenever."

Anakin nodded, looking happy. "I'll be going home for some of the break," he said, "but assuming they ever let me leave again, I'd love to fly it."

"I'd love to see it fly! It hasn't ever before, and it's been stripped down to pieces twice. Should be great!"

"That's the best feeling, isn't it?" he replied. "Seeing something you built working properly?"

"Nothing like it. Wouldn't go so far as to say the best feeling, but it's definitely amazing." She stops for a second and then taps her chin with a finger. "Speaking of amazing, I promised myself I'd drop in on Anders' training tonight. The club won't fall apart if I take off, right?"

[ooc: *stabs spotty notifications*]

"Mmm, the best feeling is flying it," Lee says with a grin.

Anakin smiled. "Flying something you built yourself," he countered. "Because it's all only you that's keeping you in the air."

He waved at Cally. "We'll survive without you," he said. "Say hi to Anders for me."
