Flight and Flying, Friday

"So this planet learned to fly about a hundred years ago, maybe a hundred and change," Atton said.

He patted the plane next to him. It wobbled.

"This baby made it a whole 12 seconds on the first try," he said cheerfully. "The max they got out of it was 59. Let's see if you can do better."

Fly! ... Ish. Fly ish.

Atton has helpfully provided a long fake lawn through the danger shop - no sims this week, just safety controls flipped on. There are markers for every ten feet. He's standing by the side with the measuring stick.

Smirking.

"C'mon!"

Was Anakin going to just blatantly cheat using the Force? Of course he was. He was Anakin Skywalker.

"Doesn't count, loser!" Atton called from the sidelines.

"You're making us fly a rock!" Anakin said. "I'm doing what I can."

Re: Fly! ... Ish. Fly ish.

"It was a rock when they built it, and they flew it anyway," Atton shot back. "Pretty sure that makes them better than you."

"I've crashed capital ships that were flying like rocks," Anakin sniffed, "and walked away. I'm better."

"No, you just lucked out in the pazaak game of life and were born with magical superpowers," Atton said, rolling his eyes. "No one's impressed."

Re: Fly! ... Ish. Fly ish.

"Plenty of people were impressed," Anakin said with a smirk.

Atton slow-clapped. "Congratulations," he said, "People who don't know that Force sensitivity is like being handed cheat codes at birth thought you were a very good boy."

"The Council was also impressed," Anakin said. "Not destroying the heart of Coruscant was good."

Re: Fly! ... Ish. Fly ish.

[suitably_heroic]

"Aren't your Council all dead?" Atton asked. "Yeah, not too impressed by those people's judgment."

Okay, but actually, Summer was kind of thrilled to get to try and fly one of these things? It looked ridiculous, and she was here for it.

Well, she would be, after she was done taking a bunch of pictures to send to grampa to tell him: look, i get to fly something that's even junkier than even YOUR car!!!
