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!!

[ immediate response: concern. ]

-- have you chose anyone yet?

[ ARE THEY TRUSTWORTHY AT ALL. ]

[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.

[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.

[willynilly]

[ooh. there's a thought.]

Are you sure that wouldn't be a bother? I know you woke up pretty recently, so I don't want to distract you if you'd rather do other stuff!

[like spending time with your captain, captain]

[uprightness]

Don't worry about it.

[ he's living with his captain these days. makes it so much easier. ]

I have time.

[ better him than someone he doesn't know ]

When do you wanna start?

[willynilly]

Oh, in that case... umm... now?

[dude she's upside down and this car is horrible, the sooner the better ;~;]

[uprightness]

-- doesn't seem to want to go the other way?

[ steve don't be a little shit to the kid. ]

I'm on my way. where are you? try sending me your coordinates.

[willynilly]

It looks a lot easier than it really is...! The controls won't listen to me!

[it's embarrassiiiiiing

she does send him coordinates, though, because she'll take any port in the storm at this point.]

[ the truth is, steve is more of a motorcycle kin of guy but he got the hand of the hovers pretty easily. he does have a tendency to go a little too fast. it doesn't take too long before his own hover floats close to hers. he offers her a hand. ]

Climb in.

[ he's not smiling. nope. ]

[willynilly]

[Ochako brightens up immediately at the sight of him, whether he's smiling or not, and accepts his help as she gets in. What a relief...]

Ahh, this is so much better! A car that's ride-side-up!

[uprightness]

Alright hold on, put your seat-belt on, let's see what we can do with this.

[ he stands up an grabs the little hover car. steve once pulled an helicopter out of the sky; luckily, this vehicle is much lighter. a moment or two and he manages to flip it over. ]

let's see if we can tie to this one. I have a feeling you might want to return it.

[willynilly]

[holy crap, he strong. It's sort of reminiscent of All Might if he was about 50% less aggressively buff and had a normal person's hair.]

Wow, that's... I-I mean! I think if we just program the GPS inside to go home, it'll take itself back safely!

[uprightness]

You think so?

[ well, it's worth a try. steve's hover isn't very faulty but there's no knowing what it's going to be after dragging another all the way back. ]

Okay, hold on.

[ holding her hover, he pushes himself away up and in ]

The GPS system, yeah?

[willynilly]

[such a limber fella. she's impressed.

Yeah, exactly! I think there's an option to send it home when you're done with it.
