do these things come with barf bags?
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!!

Video.
If you need me somewhere, ahm. Just say.
[... Telling people he's available to help is weird.
He doesn't usually do this. Don't mind his uncertainty.]
Video.
Video.
[This is weird. But he'll play the normal card for five seconds to help a kid drive.]
Send me the coordinates, I'll be there.
Video.
[Have some coordinates I guess. They're probably accurate enough!]
Thanks, Max! This is a big help.
Video. => Action.
But regardless, this loser will be there, albeit tentatively, with some uncertainty.
Mostly, he doesn't want you to get him murdered driving, child. :|]

She's there soon after, the rented, auto-pilot car sliding sideways into the lot and flipping over only when it's reached the destination, sending her flying head over heels out the side door. She manages to catch herself in a roll, but she's still a little ruffled as she straightens up, rubbing her back.]
Owww... dumb car.
no subject
[Is he going to regret this? Maybe.
He stands outside of the car, stepping aside to watch her topple out. Such a kind man.]
Don't think a car can be dumb; it doesn't have a brain.
[har har]
no subject
Well this one sure is trying!
[she dusts herself off and faces him properly.]
Um... thanks for coming.
no subject
Can thank me if I manage to teach you anything. Not a great teacher.
But, uh. Know my way around cars.
[He looks to the car, at ease. Surprisingly so, considering his usual demeanor.]
You ready?
no subject
[She grins and pumps her fist, any irritation vanishing like magic. Can't bring this girl down!!]
I'm ready!
no subject
But okay. He gives a nod before setting into the passenger's seat.
......
He's never been a religious man, but maybe he should ask god for protection.]
Walk me through it, and I'll correct you.
no subject
max that's a terrible way to teach, you should definitely pray]
Oh... um... let's see...
[well, she... kind of was shown the ropes already, so...! she carefully goes through it, step by step, wishing she'd brought her notes. she keeps looking warily at max, though. HELP PLEASE]
no subject
Pull your seat back a little. Makes your body more comfortable, for your height.
Too close, too hard to navigate properly.
no subject
[what the hECK she was not aware. She leans down and pokes around, searching for- AH!! Suddenly she's half a foot back and everything is so much more comfortable to reach.]
Whoa! I didn't know it did that.
no subject
... Mmm. You don't want to be too close.
Bad if you get in an accident, because you're too close to the wheel and dash.
no subject
[She's read enough about heroic rescue operations to know how big a problem that can be.]
no subject
[He doesn't particularly mean to bring up his life before the fall of everything, but he does. Well, it's not a big deal, right? He told Peggy. Ochako's not a bad person, not someone to distrust with fragments of his history.]
Go ahead, get into air traffic from here safely.
no subject
Were you with the police?
no subject
He's not usually a passenger, but he doesn't mind as much as he thought he would've.]
... Mm. I was a cop, worked the highways. Lived in a time where people on the roads were often dangerous. World was messed up, and everything was on a, ahm, last leg.
Don't forget your blinker.
no subject
[Hastily she flicks it on- the wrong way, at first, then quickly fixes it. Whoops.]
A policeman though, that's amazing! So you were a hero in your world, too.
[she sounds proud, even. what a good egg you secretly are!!]
no subject
Not a hero, no. Just doing a job.
I liked the drive.
[And also he was a hopeful youth who thought he could be a hero and make a difference.
And things changed. As they do with everyone if they do something long enough, or become jaded to how humanity works. But. Even he's not dickish enough to ruin her heroism thing. It's good for her to cling to it and work for good, even if he's a negative smeg about it all.]
no subject
I don't think it matters very much why you do the job. I'm sure that people you save think well of you for it.
no subject
#droopydog
But he grumbles, relenting. He's not gonna rub that fact into the kid's face.]
... Hmmff... Why do you want to be a hero? Guessing you wanna make a difference.
no subject
Actually, it's kind of embarrassing... um... I want to get rich.
no subject
Huh?
