How To Get By In A Hostile World, Thursday

[suitably_heroic]

"Last year, when I ran this class, I stretched out introductions over two classes," Atton said. "At the time, it was a practical decision--" because he was pissed over getting water randomly dumped on his head, "--but I don't see a reason not to continue the tradition. See, there's a difference between what we say, and what we can actually do. One that most of you are probably familiar with, unless one of you has reality warping powers I don't know about."

He gave the class a quick once-over, because actually, that was entirely possible.

"...Okay," he said. "Anyway, we have a flight sim, and we have an on the ground kind of deal. Pick whichever you're more comfortable with, and go."

Rolling With The Punches - Door B

Or you could step into the flight sim. (Which isn't Skywalker's. Just because Atton likes him now doesn't mean he can't program a sim better, damn it.)

You're supposed to make an easy trip from the space station your ship is in down to the planet below. However, as soon as you try to start up the ship, alarm bells start going off outside - and the hangar bay doors start closing, while a voice announces you're being impounded.

Should you make it out, a few fighters will start firing on your ship. Try and make it down to the planet's surface without dying horribly and Atton might be vaguely impressed.

Mabel probably could stand to learn to pay more attention to what door she went through, really. Not that she wasn't completely confident that she'd be able to handle whatever this thing threw at her.

... Finding herself in the cockpit of a starship was actually, amazingly, outside of her usual realm of expertise.

Whelp, time to just hit random buttons until something happened, then! And if that something happened to be 'hit full reverse and smash backwards through the people who were coming to try to take her into custody, followed by the most slapstick and haphazard possible romp around the space station docking bay until they opened the damn door again just to get her to stop,' well...

That was like almost doing the thing right, right?

It was a wonder this girl was still alive, even in the real world.

Carmilla didn't choose the one that would be more comfortable. She chose the one that looked like it would be more fun. If by "fun," you meant repeatedly getting herself blown up. But, hey, she was enjoying herself.
