Piloting!!

[mistyday]

[As Misty is wont to do, she appears by Kitty's side seemingly out of nowhere and watches her with silent fascination for a minute.]

Hey! You're pretty good at this pilotin' stuff!

[passingthrough]

[Where did you even come from? She doesn't seem startled though. Too many teleporters, ninjas, and vampires in her life.]

I had a little non-space experience back home. Also a thing stuck in my head that apparently isn't coming out. [Why, yes, she did some experimenting with that.]

[mistyday]

Do you fly planes at home or something?

[passingthrough]

I have. It's not like there was anything as official as a license or real training, but you figure things out.

[mistyday]

[She shrugs.] More than I can do. I barely even drive a car at home, much less a plane or a spaceship.

Say, you think you could give me some driving lessons? I'm having a hell of a time with the shuttles.

[passingthrough]

Oh, sure. Do the augments have any basic lessons on that? [Since hers is more geared for it she's not sure.]

[mistyday]

Kinda? I know what all the buttons are for and everything, but I can't ever get a sense of where I am, without a road or trees or anything to guide me. I tried to visit another ship one time and it took me damn near forever to get hooked up. Now I just go whenever someone else is going somewhere.

[passingthrough]

Kind of like walking around in the dark? Yeah, you usually have to focus more on guidance systems unless you are in crowded airspace. Or...space space.

[mistyday]

[Misty scrunches her nose.] It's so hard to keep track of everything.

[passingthrough]

I can walk you through it. You'll just need practice to get it down. I can give you rides when I'm around too. [Not like she keeps a super busy schedule.]

[mistyday]

I'd be real grateful to you! When can we start?

[passingthrough]

Now if you want. A practice trip somewhere? Unless there's a ship you need to get to then a practice one way and I'll bring it back and pick you up later.

[mistyday]

No, I don't need to be anywhere! Right now is perfect!

[passingthrough]

[Kitty does some super important piloty things that are all very technical right now and her mun totally knows what they are, but let's keep things light, shall we? Then with all that secure she gets up.] Let's grab a shuttle. Do people visit other ships regularly? [She's spent a lot of time exploring and trying to figure out the Atroma and such, but not a lot on the social dynamics of the Fleet.]

[mistyday]

I think so? I've only been to a couple of them myself... most of the time I like going to the Iskaulit, to the gardens or the interfaith center.

[She grins.]

Or the bar. But there is this nice doctor lady who runs the gardens - she's over here all the time. I think she's good friends with the captain and Wrath. I don't know what other people do though.

[passingthrough]

Is the doctor a redhead?

[mistyday]

[She nods.]

Yeah! That's her! I don't really know her that well though.

[passingthrough]

She seems like good people. I've known others from her world.

[mistyday]

Really? Does that happen a lot, people showin' up from the same universe?

[She doesn't look particularly thrilled by the idea.]

[passingthrough]

I knew the others at the prison before here, but it seems to for some people.

Actually, five more X-Men showed up after I did. Only one of them is from my reality, but that's the first time I've seen anyone who is actually from home. [Which is HUGE and there is definitely a change in her voice when she says it, but it doesn't exactly show the full magnitude of how it makes her feel. She doesn't miss that Misty doesn't seem as excited about the prospect. There's definitely a lot of bad that could come through from her world too. She's been beyond lucky.]

[mistyday]

Ever had anyone dangerous show up that you knew?

[passingthrough]

We're all dangerous. [She is the best at being reassuring.] But one of the bad guys? No. [Ask a different X-Man and you might get a different story since Gambit fought against the X-Men in his world and most of them know Magneto as the enemy and not the leader of the X-Men the way she does.] Worried about seeing someone?

[mistyday]

[Maybe best if she doesn't hear that particular detail - she likes Gambit quite a bit.]

Some other witches from the coven. Not all of 'em, but some of them are real bad, gone too far in the shadows.

[passingthrough]

[He still seems like a good guy to her.] Think a change of environment will bring them out at all or just seeing it as trouble?

[mistyday]

[She frowns.]

I don't know... I don't think Fiona can ever be saved. Tried to kill her own daughter. Ain't much you can do to come back from that.
