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?

[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?

[...... Max is busy staring in confused judgment.]

[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]

[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.]

Thank you. [he's busy]

[willynilly]

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

[BE MORE SPECIFIC MAX]

Video.

[theroadwarrior]

Yeah, well. You're not doing it right.

Car's supposed to be right-side up.

[So dry, dry humor for miles.]

Video.

[willynilly]

[liSTEN YOU PUNK]

That part's not my fault! It's on auto-pilot... it keeps doing that on its own.

[sylphid]

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

[She's interested.]

video;

[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.

[willynilly]

Ahh, yay! I'm really glad, Jiji seemed pretty lonely all by herself.

[ immediate response: concern. ]

-- have you chose anyone yet?

[ ARE THEY TRUSTWORTHY AT ALL. ]

Video.

[theroadwarrior]

I see. Uh.

...

D'you want some lessons? Been driving these since we got here; they're not too bad, compared to normal cars.

[sylphid]

How can you tell?

[It has no face.]

[stormfist]

[ oh my god please get there in one piece. She does not trust these damn things...! ]

Sure. I'll be there. But if you get stuck or can't make it with the autopilot on, just call. I can find you.

[ Either way, it won't take her too long to get there, thankfully! ... Please be okay. Also maybe please don't get sick from being upside down and topsy turvy for so long. ]

Video.

[willynilly]

[equal parts excited and terrified at once]

I'd love that! I really wanna know how to drive one of these things.

[willynilly]

I have good instincts about animals!

[this is her first pet ever and she's full of shit, but let's pretend.]

[stormfist]

no problem [ And she's not! Until later, anyway. So it's no big deal. Famous last words. ]

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.
