Flight- Monday- 3rd period

[solo_sword]

It was over to the Danger Shop for class today, where many of the students would probably recognize the setting as Cape Canaveral. When they met up with Jaina, they'd see she had Sel'je with her, since his dad was sleeping till sunset. That might be fun to explain to some people.

"Those of you who are from this planet probably recognize this place as Cape Canaveral, specifically the Kennedy Space Center," she began. "This is where space shuttle launches have happened, so you can probably guess what we're doing today. We're going to be going into a shuttle and take off, spend a little time in space, and then land safely. And for those of you who have smaller kids with you, it's totally safe, no one can get hurt here, and if anyone doesn't want to go, it's fine to stay out here." Somehow Jaina didn't think there'd be many of those...

Listen to the lecture

[solo_sword]

Chat with people, assure kids it's totally okay, etc. etc.

Yeah, Atton wasn't doing this.

He stood near the edge of the group looking listless until he could be sure they'd all piled into the shuttle, and then he'd find a bench and have a nap.

Like a sane, extremely hungover person who didn't want to deal with his offspring.

Of course Emily was going to sneak on him before the shuttle went up.

"You look like crap," she said without much inflection. Yeah, not even glee or anything.

Re: Listen to the lecture

"You don't exactly smell like flowers either," Atton said, because he was a classy guy like that.

Appreciated the lack of inflection, though, because hangover.

Re: Listen to the lecture

"Flowers are for little girls," Emily replied immediately. It was true, they were. "Do I want to know what your keen nose is thinking of me?" Probably not.

"This is ancient karking technology, and we're probably going to explode," Cade told Rachel.

Cade was the best father EVER.

Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaace.

Emily supposed it was cool, but they had done so many cool things lately she might be developing standards.

At least she had no kids to keep under control.

Anakin was . . . admittedly a bit smug about not being saddled with any kids like a lot of people seemed to be, although that was somewhat mitigated by being weirded out about Jaina's. (Because his sister, and just no.)

He was, however, eyeing the shuttle dubiously, because really, this was technology?

Victor was into this idea, mostly because he figured a virtual space flight was much less likely to have jerkface aliens around than the real kind.

As for Buzz, his only disappointment was that he couldn't fly the shuttle. They made for a happy and excited father/son pair.

Space shuttle!

[solo_sword]

Pretend everyone can fit at once, handwavy handwavy. It's like a ride.

Re: Space shuttle!

[reven8e.livejournal.com]

Space!

"Um, how realistic is this thing? Just wondering if I can use this as an excuse not to buy one of those expensive space rides in the future."

She might buy one of those anyway.

No relatives of any kind -- fake future or real present, thank God -- had shown up for Ace, but if the Space Core ever needed any family that wasn't, you know...the Space Core pretending to be his own dad, well.

Just saying.

SPAAAAAAAAAAAACE.

More specifically and even better, the U.S. shuttle program, which had only been Ace's obsession since forever.

When not actively trying to wheedle her way into being allowed to fake-drive, Ace could be found looking around among the crew for fake Sally Ride.

NO ONE TELL HER.

Talk to Jaina

[solo_sword]

Who's trying to keep an eye on a kid at the moment.

Re: Talk to Jaina

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

"Who's the kid?" Cade asked, ambling over with Rachel.

Re: Talk to Jaina

[solo_sword]

"Sel'je," she said. "Who's yours?"

Re: Talk to Jaina

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

"Rachel," Cade said. "Yours' name's better."

Rachel frowned at him.

Re: Talk to Jaina

[nonelikemesince.livejournal.com]

"Um," Anakin said ever so eloquently. Look, give him a break. His brain was in pieces over this.

Re: Talk to Jaina

[solo_sword]

"You okay there?" she checked. Jaina was maybe a little too used to this by now.

Re: Talk to Jaina

[nonelikemesince.livejournal.com]

Anakin pointed at Sel'je, and his mouth was hanging open a bit. It went well with his uncharacteristically confused expression.

"You have one."

They're called children, Anakin.

Sleep now. Sleep is good.
