"I'll take that one," she said after just a few moments, pointing randomly to a grayish vehicle on the left. Underground keeper of the keyboard of stuck vowel keys.

Now she drawled in her ear, "Good idea, you wouldn't want to destroy any nice-like vehicle. How far away do you suggest we watch the show from?" The last question was directed at Vi, almost as an offhanded ideal. ((My brain was off.)) (Edited by naturecat) Aussi longtemps que je peux marcher par la nature, je survivrai.

Calm down," Vi said soothingly as she clambered in the passenger seat and invited Cal up. "Spyre doesn't bring anybody he doesn't think has a chance at least at metal. So from him, this is high praise. Cal, come on in. When i tell you which tunnel, you have to fly in and through it. There will be electronic monitors as well as me to watch and grade you. Your job is to get though it as perfectly as possible. If you crash, don't worry, even experts do. But if you don't crash you're likely to be good enough for a metal. The tube's designed to crash you." She smiled fleetingly and dangerously. "Ready?" Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father.

She thought about that for a second. "How much harder can it be than a cop chase in a ten-way street, yeah? Le's go." She revved the ignition and brought the cruiser around, making careful allotment for the bulky thrusters on every side of the vehicle. "Which tunn'l?" ((Contrary to Star Wars, midair suspension, hovering, whatever does not allow for banking like a plane. You need to have some force propelling you in the direction you're going at any time. Planetside, gravity, momentum and such can help, but it's not like a weensie jet plane to pilot around. This is part of what makes steering a cruiser so difficult for many- there's a lot to coordinate.)) Underground keeper of the keyboard of stuck vowel keys.

It was so much more fun when they didn't. "Fourth from the right, the one with the blue light above it." She tapped a small device on her wrist twice, and a small click and whirr could be heard from the tunnel. "I'll change difficulty with this. And I have no need to write down notes--photographic memory is required for this job." Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father.

Her foot twitched with the urge to floor the forward thrusters, but for the moment she was patient. Af'er all, I screw this up an' there's no ship an' no money for six months.

Tira_Shrantall Doo Wah Diddy! Posts: 550 Registered: Oct 2007  Posted March 27th, 2008 05:54 PM   IP              When they were directly in front of the tunnel, Vi gave her next intruction. "When I rell go, go. You're going to have to be fast, so don't worry about taking it slow. Massive reflexes are going to be necessary. Just try not to crash, and you'll be fine." The light blinked a few times, then turned purple. "Go!" Vierra shouted. Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father.

She kept one hand on the steering thruster switch and another on the altitude adjuster as she stared out of the viewport intently. Suddenly and without warning, something tumbled into her path. She hit a sharp left and quickly pulled out before hitting the wall. Another piece of what could have been space junk or a human being, for all she could afford to think about, rose up and she slammed the brake, then accelerated again as it kept moving. As she sped underneath it, there was a remote tak and the object burst into flames and began falling back toward the vehicle. Cal cleared it with only an inch or two to spare. By this time, the young girl had a manic grin fixed on her face. Underground keeper of the keyboard of stuck vowel keys.

She silently tapped her device, and the torrent and barrage sped up. Another few taps later, there was hardly a path anywhere for all the explosions and debris. Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya.

Rayu Moderator Posts: 1919 Registered: Sep 2007  Posted March 27th, 2008 06:30 PM   IP              Cal didn't respond, but her smile couldn't get much wider. Through the constant rain of moving objects, explosions, random blackouts, and shifting road blocks, she took enough time to notice with only a tiny bit of interest that one of the left thrusters seemed to have failed. One last piece of junk tumbled toward the cruiser, and she jerked a right, but the failure made her turn a second too slow. The object nicked a side fin, and the vehicle destabilized. Cal released her death grip on the steering and took manual control of the magnetic hoverpads, bringing one side down and leaving the other at full strength. The cruiser yawed to the right wildly, then slowly stabilized and cruised out of the tunnel as Cal brought the magnets back to equal power and eased up on the gas slowly.

Vi jumped down and half-closed her eyes as she walked toward the group. "The tunnel loops around. On the left are the entrances and the right are the exits." Coming to a stop a foot or so from Spyre, she closed her eyes completely for a minute. Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father.

"I watched the whole thing on a screen in the main hall. You did great, Callie." She indicated the door. "They're playing that last bit out there over, and I saw some people letting the breeze in through their mouths." Both ferals chuckled. In any other situation Cal would have been easily distracted and gone off into a conversation with her friend, but today she only stopped for a moment. "Well?" she demanded, coming up behind Vi.

"I think...A silver ought to be right, don't you think, Spyre?" "I believe so. Let me see....That would be 50 plat sen, right?" He fished for something in his pockets and came out with a small card. He pressed his thumb on the white spot provided and set the card against a machine. "Payment for Calypso's liscense." A small light shone from the machine to one of his eyes, and he seemed to be reading something. "Alright, I'll keep that in mind." He murmured quietly, breaking away. "Congrats. Lets go get the official, alright?" Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father.

She slid in behind the group her mind busy on what she had found. The cities gangs. They had a loose system somewhat like packs of wolves reporting to a human every few moons. Her mind was organizing how to start a more controlled system, so she just prayed that someone didn't notice her re-appearance, since she was so sloppy about it.

Vi kindly took it, and handed it to Cal. It was white with a silver streak along the side, her name, picture, and small rectangle for imprinting all there. Jik appeared lugging another similar one, which Vi also handed to the catgirl. It was the same as the other one, but a stylish black, and the universal White Market sign was next to her picture.

"Anybody who feels like joining our merry little band, come on and follow us. Vi, you coming? If you are, could you get the restock for the ship?" Vi nodded. "Alright then.

Blood considered Spyre for a moment, then looked to Cal who had dropped her grin long enough to send her a pleading look. "Alright, hunt for fairy tales. Why not, business has been slow.

He turned towards the ship, buying another snack for who ever wanted one on the way. ((XD cal gets two)) ((BECAUSE EVERYWHERE EVEN WHEN PEOPLE CAN POST AND ARE ON, NOBODY SEEMS TO POST)) ((>.<)) They arrived at the ship, and were joined a few moments later by Vi. A new shipment was already loaded, and Spyre asked, "One more time, before we go, is there anything else anybody needs to get or do?" (Edited by Tira_Shrantall) Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya.
