Second Crash [Action]

[broji]

[It's early morning, and Ginji's got the window thrown wide open and a warm jacket tossed on over his pajamas. No cold and no snow is going to stop him! He's been trying out the present he got from Luke, but his bedroom just isn't big enough - not with all the shelves and charts he's begun to accumulate. So Ginji props his elbows on the sill, working the controls as a small toy helicopter sails up and out over the lawn in its first proper test flight.]

[This is all still pretty new to him and he hasn't gotten the hang of it just yet. Two switches and a few buttons are far different from a full-sized panel, control column, and stick. There aren't even any pedals to work with, so steering is a bit of a challenge, too. And then there's the design: it's got an unusual sort of rotor coming out of the top, and skids instead of retractable landing gear. But toy or no toy, Ginji is determined to figure out how it all works! Maybe he can even build some of his own and start a miniature fleet.]

[Unfortunately, the weather isn't on his side. He'll ease one of the switches backward and the helicopter will hover higher, rocking in the winter wind, before starting to lose altitude. Uh oh.]

Ah...! She stalled.

[[OOC: P.S. If you're walking nearby, please beware of crashing incoming aircraft.]]

[Sup Broji. So. Ion was just taking a nice walk walk around the village, minding his own business. He was going a little slower than usual because of all the snow, but he'd been spending more than enough time cooped up inside lately, so he wasn't about to let that stop him!]

[So, here we are. Walking, walking, nothing bad is happening--]

[distressedude]

[...what's that weird noise?]

[distressedude]

[Looking up and--]

[distressedude]

[ksjhdfsdfn...!!!]

[DIRECT HIT.]

[distressedude]

[...]

[.........]


[..................ow.]

/DONE

[distressedude]

[Okay, seriously. What was that and why did it just hit him in the face? Because that hurt and was so not cool.]

[At least whatever it is doesn't seem broken... since, you know, his face broke the impact.]

W-What just...

[broji]

[Well that wasn't supposed to happen! It's probably his worst landing to date, too. ...But enough about the aircraft!]

[Ginji will be tossing the controls onto a nearby desk before hopping out the window (he's on the first floor) and racing over to the Fon Master.]

Ion! Are you okay?

[dragoneer]

[Hiccup is out for a stroll with his dragon pal Toothless right along side him when--]

...What the--?

[OH CRAP HGASDFG AIRCRAFT FALLING TOWARDS HIS HEAD.

Toothless manages to knock him out of the way before the helicopter can hit him, but he still gets a face full of snow as result.]

[broji]

[Whoa! A dragon. Ginji can't say he's ever seen one of them up close - usually he's busy with repairs and doesn't have to worry much about larger monsters.]

[But there's a guy in the snow, and that's kind of a problem, too.]

S-sorry...! Do you need a hand?

[Eyes to dragon. To Hiccup. To dragon. There's not a wrench in the apartment big enough to take that thing on if it tries to eat him... So Ginji is left leaning awkwardly out of the window in a moment's hesitation, not quite sure of what to do.]

[dragoneer]

[Toothless regards Ginji with a deadpan scowl--he is not amused. He won't eat you, but how would you like a fireball in your roof?

But before he does anything, Hiccup pushes himself back up again and glances between the crash-landed copter and the guy hanging out of the window.]

N-no! That's--uh, alright. Don't worry about it. Is this yours? [It's...kind of super cool, actually. :|a]

[hasnobeats]

[Okay, so the last thing Otonashi was expecting on his stroll around the village was a helicopter falling from the sky and hitting him right in the face. So when it does... wow that is quite a surprise and damn did that hurt or what.]

What the fu-- W-where did that come from?!

[broji]

[This weather's really not helping a whole lot. Maybe he should have chosen a less blustery day for flying, but he was just so excited to try out his new toy.]

[And there she goes again. Talk about bad luck! The aircraft lands nose down in the snow and Ginji visibly winces from his spot at the window.]

Sorry!! It's from over here.

[hasnobeats]

[That just makes for an even more epic adventure for the helicopter! But ow. Paaaaain. It was a direct hit.. Otonashi looks over in Ginji's direction, rubbing his head.]

Oh. [..Sounds like it was an accident, then.] It's alright! That just... Damn that hurt...

aaaand here comes another

[ctrlaltdemons]

[--and now Ginji will have threaded with all of my characters..?!

LUCKILY FOR ATSURO he doesn't get hit in the face by the helicopter. He was able to catch a quick glimpse of it before it hit him, so he moved out of the way juuuust in time. That's not to say that it didn't catch him off guard regardless though, 'cause, well... tripping while dodging that thing, brb.]

W-woah...!

[broji]

[Haha...sorry...? OTL]

Ah!! Watch out! [This is really a lot harder than it looks, and there's just not much of a happy medium when it comes to miniature controls. It's a good thing he reacted in time! But-- oops... Ginji'll just barely manage to swerve the helicopter away from a tree and land it on top of a pile of snow.]

Sorry about that. I didn't hit you, did I? [Wouldn't be the first time today.]

[ctrlaltdemons]

[nono it's a good thing! fgkasfsakhska

After Atsuro hits the ground and when he sits back up, he just watches as the helicopter flies away and lands on the snow pile. He then looks over at Ginji when he speaks up.]

Huh? O-oh... It's fine! I got away in time, anyway. [At least the snow cushioned his fall too.]

[shinydeadaliens.livejournal.com]

[Walking around, minding his own business, SUDDENLY HELICOPTER.

James blinks at the rapidly approaching aircraft before snagging it out of the air before it can run into his face.]

...That could of hurt.

[Let's find your owner, little helicopter.]

[broji]

[You have to hand it to the guy, he's got great reflexes grabbing a helicopter out of thin air like that! Even if it's just a toy. Maybe Ginji needs to look into tweaking the controls a little to make up for his poor flying performance today.]

[He'll wave his arm at James from his spot at the window.]

Sorry, that was my fault!

[shinydeadaliens.livejournal.com]

[Excellent reflexes hone by having a violent younger sister.

James spots the young man waving from a nearby window and walks on over.]

No harm done. First time flying one?

[It just so happens that one particular person would be walking by at this moment. Dist was looking for a quiet place to read up on some engineering texts he just got from the library - something he hopes would help a little when he tried to take apart and fix up the old radio Ion gifted him with. His nose was already pressed into it, until the quiet buzzing catches his attention.

Dist looks up curiously, just in time to see the small aircraft do a nosedive and collide squarely with his head.]

AGHH--!

[Holding his face. H-His beautiful face...!]

[Action]

[broji]

[OUCH. That looked like it hurt pretty badly. Especially taking into account how the poor guy's reacting. Maybe...maybe he should give the toy aircraft a rest for today.]

[Ginji tosses aside the controller, shoves his feet into a pair of slippers this time (he does learn!), and starts climbing out the window.]

Ah!! I'm really sorry, sir! You're not hurt are you?

[Action]

[its-rose-damnit.livejournal.com]

[Dist snarls, rubbing his face angrily. So help him if he was bleeding...! A sharp glare is aimed in Ginji's direction before he barks out in a heightened, snappy tone.]

Of course I'm hurt, you imbecile! I'm not dying, but you need to be more careful where you putter about your bothersome contraptions! [He fumes, then looks down at just what the hell hit him, and...huh. Odd. It looks like a machine. A very strange little machine. Dist picks it up with a profound delicacy, dusting off the snow and looking it over with interest.] ...What is this?

Keywords sort of relevant.|D

[moelle]

[Noelle is heading out, list in hand of a few groceries and things. Maybe try to see if she can find something to bring to the Auldrant gathering at Neprhy's house. Snow's a little bit thick, still, but she's trucking her way through it when-

Oh wait she recognizes that voice, turning to look and- ghalksdfjklsdfs...

Well thankfully living in a town of inventors means she's had to dodge a few unexpectedly flying things over the years. However the snow's still thick and hard to move in quickly, meaning dodging does involve falling backwards onto it.

... that was a close one.]

[broji]

[And why not top things off by almost crashing into your own sister? Ginji mentally winces at the thought, the helicopter veering wildly to one side, hovering precariously, tipping, tipping(!), and then diving towards the ground where it skids a few yards across the ice and finally comes to an ungraceful stop. Tail up.]

[A slow wave comes from the window.]

Sorry about that, Noelle...! ...Good timing, though.

[moelle]

[Thankfully the snow cushioned her fall, so it isn't long before she's able to sit up, brushing snow from her shoulders and checking the list to make sure it hadn't gotten soaked or anything. That being done, she looks up and returns the wave.]

It's fine. [Her head follows in the direction the helicopter had been flying in, until she eventually spots it on the ground several feet away. She smiles a little bemusedly]

Trying it out?
