Flight & Flying [Friday morning]

The flight shed was closed when the workshop arrived. "Today we're heading up to Selkie Cove," Anakin said, smiling. "We're going to hang glide off the cliff. And before you ask, yes, there are helmets involved."

He looked around at them all. "And if you fall, I can catch you. But do us all a favor and don't let go, okay?"

[OOC: Up early because I'm out of town beginning tomorrow. Anakin'll be super quiet, so please don't try to plunge to your deaths.]

Strap on your helmet, take a running start, fling yourself off a cliff.

Oh, don't forget the hang glider.

Anakin's idea of a good time, honestly.

Bel looked dubiously at the hang glider, but he put on the helmet and ran for the edge of the cliff. Oh well, he could always shimmer to safety if the thing didn't work, right?

Gliding was kinda fun. Peaceful. He actually liked it.

Sam waited for her turn, trying to remind herself that it was just like jumping out of an airplane wearing a parachute, but then got caught up in the physics of how the motion was actually very different and how you needed different force to get where you wanted to go.

At least her brain was busy.

Rory had her eyes firmly shut when she vaulted off the cliff, and she shrieked gleefully as soon as they were open.

She frantically kept all thoughts away from crashing, and tried to enjoy the quietness.

It was nice.

Draco wasn't nervous at all about hang gliding. Just like flying brooms. Except you know, you had no control over it.

Aeryn takes one look at the hang glider, decides humans are stranger than she thought, but at the same time, it's also a little like a Peacekeeper training method she never got to experience. So she puts on the helmet, gets a running start, and jumps off.

It's not bad, and she manages not to die.

While flying didn't usually involve a glider when Cameron thought about it, he definitely wasn't going to say no. He strapped on the helmet and didn't have to think to long about it before running as hard as he could and jumping off the cliff.

Wheeeee! Good luck getting him down.

Cedric puts his safety equipment on, grabs his gliders and jumps off the cliff. And he loves it. It's almost like flying on his broom except without the broom.

Tell each other stories about what you saw on Coruscant. Make up lies about getting lucky with the locals. Anakin doesn't care.

Unless you say something about Padmé, Bel...

While waiting for a chance at the hang gliders, Aeryn stands quietly off to the side, watching.

Rory was bouncing after her turn. "Hi!" she greeted.

"Hi," Aeryn greets her, and probably unnecessarily, asks, "What did you think?"

"Thought I was going to die, but then I didn't, and it was very quiet," Rory told her, still bouncing a little.

Aeryn smiles a little. "I'm glad you didn't die. Well done."

"Always a plus, not to plummet to my death," Rory agreed. A thought occurred to her, and she slanted a look at Aeryn. "So...doing anything exciting this weekend?"

You've all been a blast. Hope you had a good time!
