036: All of the Ink That Was Bled From Her Hands

[contract_star]

[Hei appears with a small desk in a spot on the Plane out of the way of the normal traffic. Hei is sitting at the desk with a couple of bowls of ramen beside him as well as a cup of tea. He's writing in your basic composition notebook; he seems to have filled up a few pages already. He also seems quite intent on whatever he's writing.]

[Oh, and you might notice that one of his forearms is almost completely wrapped in bandages.]

'Course it does. I'm a genius.

So, wanna try that again? I'll ride with you.

ICONFAIL (guess it was my turn)

[contract_star]

[Grins.] Let's do it.

[Starts off again, faster than before, and this time in the proper stance.]

XDD

[Ikki skates beside him, far more fluid of course -- he can do this backwards. But this is about teaching Hei. He grins, too.] Yeah! Feel the wind yet?

Re: XDD

[contract_star]

[Hei blinks a little, because yeah--there's the wind, blowing his hair back, catching at him. And sure, he's felt it before, but this is the first time he's really noticed it.]

Yeah...

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Awesome. Don't forget what it feels like. [He skates a lazy circle around Hei.] Tell you what. I'm gonna set up a little obstacle course in Diva's backyard, and we'll work on things like jumps and turning until you're comfortable with it.

[contract_star]

That...that would be good.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

If you were a genius like me, I'd just shove you off the roof and tell you to fly. But that's not normal.

[contract_star]

You could, but then I wouldn't be using the AT's to fly. I'd use a different way.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

... Ehhh? You can fly?

[contract_star]

Well...sort of. It's not quite flying, but it'll do.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

If it ain't flying, then don't call it flying! [sticks tongue out; HOW MATURE]

[contract_star]

Close enough. [Speeding up, trying to outstrip Ikki.]

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[EXCRUUUUUUUZE ME!?!? Ikki is game! Zip zip zip. >3]

[contract_star]

[Holy crap! Hei tries to keep up and suddenly he's moving faster than normal--almost to the point that he seems out of control. He's still in perfect control, but he definitely looks surprised by his own speed.]

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[Which, of course, is the perfect time for Ikki to zip behind Hei and use his awesome wind powers to launch him into the air. 8D You are now free to move about the cabin.]

[contract_star]

[OMFG. Hei is now flying, sort of. It's a good thing he's relatively used to this, otherwise he'd be freaking out rather epically. But there's usually a nice, solid wire attached to a nice solid building for Hei to hang onto--and there's no buildings around here, so that would be kind of useless now anyway.]

[He sails through the air a good ways, marveling at the fact that he seems to be cushioned by the air and isn't falling right away. But what goes up must come down, and Hei finds himself eventually sinking back to the Plane floor--though of course, he can't even tell where the Plane floor is anymore. So he's no prepared when he does hit--he lands on his feet, but the jolt sends him tumbling end over end, eventually stopping rather dazedly on his back. He lies there and doesn't move, watching the stars spin above him.]

...Wow...

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[Ikki skates up beside him, hands shoved in his pockets.]

Not bad for a first flight. I didn't know how to land either.

[contract_star]

[Making no effort to get up, since the world is still spinning a fair bit.] Landing is always the worst. [Even with the wires, it's hard to judge where you are in relation to the ground.]

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

The obstacle course will help with that.

[contract_star]

[Pushes himself upward.] Hopefully, yeah.
