Come Fly With Me (rp)

[Cutie Darling]

"B-b-b-b-but.....Oh fine..."
A sudden mood swing and my Emo corner seemed to teleport into the room, giving me someplace to mope in.
"...sniffle.....I just don't like heights....."
I decided to heed the captain's words and scooted out of the room, past Timui, and into first class along with my emo corner, which, out of a corner, just looks like a heavy shadow.  

[Timui]

"Of course I won't kill you dear Captain! You're the one flying this thing and if you're not there to flip on the sign I have no reason to kill the passengers that don't have their seatbelts on! Mohahahahahahahahaha" The evil laughter trailed away as I walked out of cockpit to find me some unsuspecting passengers...  

[astrenose]

The control tower was shouting through the radio at the inexperienced pilot. "Hey, Rock, what do you think they mean by 'pull up'?" He looked from the radio to the runway and saw something getting closer.... The end of the runway.

...
.....
.......
"ASD;FLSDFJASDF;LSDKF;LKDJFS;KJFAFJASDLF!!!!!!!" Astrenose panicked and his arms reflexively convulsed, pulling the controls towards himself. The plane jerked upward and barely cleared a herd of clearly confused caribou.  

[taxidermy jesus]

It was decided. There was absolutely zero chance of making it off the plane alive. Even if the captain's utter lack of any kind flying ability didn't kill them all, the subsequent heart attacks would. It was stuff like this that made his hair turn grey. "Jesus man. I thought I was under-qualified to be helping out here, but you give the word a whole new meaning." It was true, he had only ever worked on airships before, so assisting the crew of an airplane seemed like a risky proposition when he had accepted. But that was when he was under the assumption that he would be working with a competent pilot. Now, it seemed extremely risky.

The plane jerked wildly under a pair of heavy combat boots, steadily making their way along the aisle.
The click of an extravagant cane was drowned out by the jolting passengers and the screaming pilot.
The heady scent of an magical cigar wafted around raven hair, curling up around a special hat.
This trip would be interesting, life threatening in the least; i just hoped my friends hadn't turned on me for my sudden absence.
Having snuck aboard in my paranoia, the chances anyone had seen me were few.... spy habits die hard i suppose....

My neck popped at the jarring and my hip throbbed. Clutching the diamond head on my cane a little tighter, i made my way to first class and took a seat adjacent to the pit. Observing our new Stew, Timui, turn with a whip, i fastened my seat belt smoothly.
Amazing how an armchair had a belt....
Taking my engraved lighter from a suit pocket, my eyes flicked to the frantic
captain.
"I return after all this time...." I drawled, watching the flame lick at the end of my cigar. A lovely thing it was.... tobacco free, pumpkin scented smoke and a great pain killer. Ah... i did so love inventing.... Taking a puff and reclining with a cocked eyebrow, i surveyed my long lost friends. "...to die before i can show off?"

This was about the time i remembered i'd been AWOL. Oops.


Leaning to get a better look in the cockpit, i observed the gentleman trying to fly a plane.

"So.... Since, you seem intent on killing the lot of us....No hard feelings my good sir Astrenose?"  

[astrenose]

Distractedly, Astrenose tilted his head over his shoulder and said, "Yea, sure, gimme a sec." He looked from button to button, reading all the tiny labels, looking for the one thing that would save them all. After about 40 seconds of searching, he spotted a little green button and pushed it. All shaking stopped, the plane was no longer tilted at an odd angle, and for some reason the place now smelled of lilac. Astrenose leaned back in his chair and breathed a sigh of relief. "Should be smooth sailing now. Gotta love the auto-pilot button."  

[Cutie Darling]

Rolling, tumbling, spinning.... All of this had landed me upside down in my seat....and I was seat belted.... My emo corner got thrown to the back of the plane....So it uh, kinda poofed..... I sniffed the air and cringed.
"Lilac and...-sniff- Pumkin? Ugh....I think I'm getting motion sickness....."
Okay, so really that's just my reaction when I'm in a moving vehicle with a bad smell in the air.....  

[Marie Flamel]

I sighed, tapping the side of the cigar and changing the scent to Poky. I'd forgotten that not everyone likes squash as much as i do. Once the plane leveled, i resisted the urge to smile too much. He was doing no worse than Cappy had at first.... it brought memories flooding back of the fun that first take off had been
"Ivan-- uh... Panda-- um...." I frowned over at my dear friend, upended in the seat. They changed names more often than i did and I was the spymaster. Regardless, i was pleased to see they were back. "How have you been?"  

[Timui]

This time I was more prepared so I stood firm on the floor, this was what I had signed up for after all. Our first Captain hadn't been the best in the field, and he had been far worse in the air. When I heard about the new plane, I knew this journey would be at least as dangerous, and Astrenose isn't the kind of man to disappoint us.

As the auto-pilot took over and saved us I returned from my reminiscent thoughts and realized I myself had someone to replace (a sparkling image of our dear Stew appeared in my mind) my job was now to make sure our passengers where safe-ish. I looked around. Pandii sat upside-down in her seat and Marie was smoking a cigar. Well - as long as they had their seatbelts on.

I might need to do something about that emo-corner though, I wondered if I could buckle it down. Having it flying around might cause someone to accidentally end up trapped in it. Anyway, since it poofed before anyone was trapped, hurt or dead it solved the problem for the moment.  

[Cutie Darling]

I smiled at my good friend...then frowned as soon as I realized what being upside down does to smiles....Then I smiled again cus frowning felt weird.
" Heheh, I change my name a little TOO much don't I? I've been great!~....Hey is the plane supposed to spin around like that or is Astro a worse pilot than I thought?.....I feel light headed.... That's air pressure....right?"
Nope, that was air pressure PLUS the blood running to my head.... And yet I have no idea how to get upright without unbuckling my seat belt.... Timui was right next to me....oh dear....  

[astrenose]

The intercom crackled on again. "Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached our cruising hight of 40,000 feet. Feel free to move about the cabin and remember not to open any of the windows." The intercom shut off and so did the seatbelt light. The door to the cockpit opened and Astrenose stepped out, his eyes scanning the pages of the grey instruction manual. "Rock, while I'm freshening my pilot skills, keep an eye on the auto pilot. Make sure it doesn't shut off or become self aware. I'll be in my quarters." And with that, Astrenose stepped into the cargo hold.  

[Cutie Darling]

Hearing this I thankfully slid out of my seat and spent a moment letting the blood rush out of my head.
"...Heheh....Spots......Alrighty then! I'm okay nowwwaaaaah!!!!"
That's the funny thing about head rushes...You feel fine then you jump onto your feet and then you're falling all over the place...Or in my case into Marie.
I now lay flopped over her lap.
"...Heheheh....Sorry Marie..."  

[Marie Flamel]

"Only slightly my dear~ It's fine as long as you don't change."
I said, drawing on the cigar as the plane leveled out. The painkiller was weaker under pressure, but i could cope; there was little for me to do right then at any rate....
The autopilot leveled out and i relaxed a touch, my back twinging at the movement. Hopefully i would be able to ignore it by the time we managed to to get anywhere.
The muscles in my back tensed once more when Astren made a comment about the autopilot being self aware.
No, i most certainly did NOT have terminator run through my mind. That would be silly.
I was about to suggest we look into that, given the plane came from the Emo corner's penchant for the bizarre, when Pandii fell on my lap.
"GAH--"I gasped, drilling my nails into the armrest and forcing myself to stay composed. My leg didn't hurt that bad, of course not. I'm American, we deal with pain well. Yes, yes that was good. Focus on other things. Like the look on my face. The grimace relaxed into a a smoothed, if not slightly forced, smile. Patting her head, i tried to play it off. "It's fine my dear~ What have you been up to while i was away?"  

[Cutie Darling]

Poof, now in a different outfit... Why did that happen so often? No idea :/
Right now I was more concerned with the sudden, if not brief, showing of pain that crossed Marie's face.
"ASDFLEHGVEAR!!! Are you alright!!?"
I quickly got off of Marie's lap and summoned my Emo corner to grab my first aid kit and a pack of gummy worms. With that my emo corner dissipated again.
"Where's it hurt?! I wanna help! Quick! Eat these!"
With that I hand her the pack of gummy worms.  

[Marie Flamel]

"Yes yes, i'm.... fine."I ried to assure my friend, felling that i should have seen this coming. I was about to say somethign when she dashed off and returned with gummy worms. Taking them with a sigh and readjusting myself in my chair i snuffed my cigar. Tucking it into my pocket, i opened the gummy worms. It's just my back Pandii, a disk or something. No need to freak. It should be fine soon."
I munched on one of the worms and waved a hand, dismissing the face i'd made.
"Again, what has everyone been up to? Also...."I looked around for some semblance of a food cart, perhaps jarred into a corner upon take off. "Are there any chocolate covered crickets on this flight?"

Yes, that WAS a seriouse question.
