18; Just think of the happiest thing...

[The Doctor is a naturally curious individual.]

[and, well, if you're not aware, the new ring he's found gives him a few, minor powers.]

[one of which is flight.]

[which is awesome.]

[when he can control it. Now is not one of those times.]

[Cue a falling Time Lord, to crash into the nearest bush.]

Ow.

[at least it broke his fall.]

I'm tuner! I help people "fly" in the sky and give them "wings" by making sure that their ATs are in perfect sync with the rider.

[realizing that she probably doesn't make any sense, Kururu searches for the right words.]

Or, I guess... you'd call me a flight mechanic of a sort.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

ATs?

[allmarbles.livejournal.com]

ATs or Air Trecks. They're like roller-skates that allow the rider lots of air time or "flight" due to the motor inside of the wheels. The better the rider the more air time they'll get.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Oh! A localized pressure releasing submagnetic traction field? Brilliant!

[allmarbles.livejournal.com]

Yes! Wow Doctor, I didn't think you'd be able to understand it so quickly.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Well, I got a pair of trainers like that for Christmas one year. If we could leave this place, I'd love to see how the ones back on your universe work!

[allmarbles.livejournal.com]

If want, I could make you one.

[rummages through her pockets causing small nuts and bolts to drop to the ground]

I think I might have enough parts with me to make one for you with me right now, but if not, I'll be more than happy to later.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

I'd love that! The later, not the now. Bit busy with the flying, now.

[goes up a little higher] Doesn't seem to be an end to this wall.

[allmarbles.livejournal.com]

O, okay!

[watches him go] I suppose not. If they really wanted to keep us in here, then it would have to go on forever, wouldn't it?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

There's no such thing as forever. I just have to keep going up.

[allmarbles.livejournal.com]

I guess so. I hope you don't get tired flying while on your way to reach the end.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

So do I.

[small smile] Could use the company, if you want to go a distance with me.

[allmarbles.livejournal.com]

[slowly rising up to where the Doctor is]

I wouldn't mind. I am a little curious to see how high it really goes.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[offers her his hand]

Let's find out.

[allmarbles.livejournal.com]

Yes, let's.

[Takes his offered hand]

Hopefully it won't take too long or else I might get hungry.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Well, even if it does---

[reaches into his pocket and produces a satsuma] Here you go.

[allmarbles.livejournal.com]

[takes the fruit from the Doctor and smiles]

Thank you! I'll save it for later.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Right, let's see how fast we can go, yeah?

[allmarbles.livejournal.com]

Yes! Let's aim to break the sound barrier!

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

One, two---
