Who: Ochako + OTA
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Planetside
When: Nowish?


( video / broadcast; )

Ssssoooo... anybody I know have a license to fly those space cars? I want to learn how to drive one! But they said I have to be 18 to drive it alone, so I need an adult with me. I can get the autopilot versions, but, um. They kind of freak me out? ...Also they suck. They really, really suck.

[did I mention the video image shows the background around her looks like it's upside down? because it totally looks like it is.]

Anyway, let me know if you can help! It can't be that different from a shuttle, and I'm not bad with those! Thanks in advance.


( on the planet; )

[how much do the autopilot hovers suck? Ochako's gone and found out the hard way. she's rented one that is exceptionally glitchy- it really likes to fly upside down, which is why her broadcast looks so weird. This isn't such a terrible thing when your superpower is gravity-erasing, but she can only do that for so long before she loses her lunch, so over the course of the rental she might pass people by doing the following:

1) sitting in her seat, upside down, looking awfully green

2) dangling from her clipped seatbelt like it's a swing, legs kicking

3) carefully climbing down the seatbelt trying to reach the ground

She might need a little bit of help. That's if she doesn't straight-up collide with somebody first. Uh, duck?]

Ah- ahhhh, look out!!

God. The autopilot is terrible. I can teach you, if you want.

[ ... Hold up. ]

Are you... upside down right now?

[willynilly]

[hi new mom!!! 8D

Ochako looks a bit sheepish, trying to fix her hair. It's not defying gravity quite as well as the rest of her.]

Um... yeah, looks like... this thing keeps flipping around.

[ FJDSKL HELLO... UPSIDE DOWN KID...

For the love of god how are these autopilot cars even street legal??? ]

Want me to come, uh, turn you right-side up? And we can go ahead and start?

[willynilly]

That would be great! If you're able to meet me by the rental place, I think I can tell this thing to head home. Just need to reach the control...

[STRETCHING..... oh god it's so far when you're upside down]

[Aww, look at this young girl being responsible about driving and needed a hand with-- wait.]

They are different from a shuttle. I can teach you but-- are you alright?

[Video]

[willynilly]

Oh, I'm fine! Just a little turned around. These guys are real finicky!

[She could try turning around, but... hmm, if it flips again, she'd land right on her head.]

[padadin]

You're in one right now? Without knowing how to drive them? [RED ALERT RED ALERT Shiro is already on the move.] Don't touch anything - finicky can get complicated. Can you tell me where you are?

[willynilly]

Don't worry, it's on auto-pilot right now. But it's not working that great, which is why I wanna know how to drive. Hang on, I'll find out-

[She fiddles with the comm and sends a picture of the car's navigation console, showing her location and where the car is headed.]

What are you trying to do.

[He motions to — just. The screen.]

Video.

...I... what? I'm trying to learn how to fly! You know, the hover cars? Those things?

[BE MORE SPECIFIC MAX]

[sylphid]

Oh, are you driving? Can I come, too?

[She's interested.]

[willynilly]

I'm gonna try! You can totally come if you wanna, there's room for more people!

[CAR PARTYYYYY she'll feel like that cool kid in school who drives everyone around in all those American movies, heck yeah]

[sylphid]

Nice. I'll bring your slug back, too. I think she and Edel did okay.

[ immediate response: concern. ]

-- have you chose anyone yet?

[ ARE THEY TRUSTWORTHY AT ALL. ]

video »

[willynilly]

Wellllll, I've had some volunteers! But if you have any tips, I'd appreciate it! And it never hurts to have a back-up plan.

video »

[uprightness]

Well.

[ he doesn't like this. volunteers. who knows who they are and steve feels an odd sort responsibility for her. that in mind - ]

I could teach you.

[universal_charm]

Do you still need someone to fly with you? I have a bit before one of my shifts.

video;

[willynilly]

I got a few volunteers, but I won't say no to more help.

Re: video;

[universal_charm]

Well, like I said, I have a bit between shifts so I don't mind helping out. It should be interesting, to say the least.

It seems you've got no lack of tutors.

[ -- she's been watching. and while certainly not prepared to volunteer herself (good lord), peggy is invested in knowing who the girl ultimately chooses. ]

video »

[willynilly]

Yeah! Everybody's been really helpful. I think I'll be okay!

[she does note Peggy's lack of volunteering, but she figures her captain will worry in her own way if she's not careful.]

[mucked]

-- Have you picked one?

[ just curious. surely, not concerned. ]
