Who: Anyone
Where: Outside of the angerdome
When: Day 148, noon
What:

[Scattered around the roof of Hydra are several crude tools made of bone, leather and stone and a few papers with rather technical designs on it. Claude's handiwork, for any staring at them, might be recognizable and lays largely untouched, however, in the margins, on the back, on several adjoining sheets are designs on implementing THOSE plans. Equations, materials, notes on experiments and results... all scattered throughout the pages in several handwritings and more than one language.

This obviously hasn't been an overnight project, nor anywhere near completed either...

However, what may have grabbed your attention is the groan of wood as they crank back the catapult for another test.]

... That might be the limit.. adjust the tension or just wait until we can really mess with the angle?

	Mmm. I am. This sort of thing.. it's what they're meant for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Just for this, you're both promoted from 'cool' to 'awesome'. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Laughs, it fading into a wide, honest grin.] If I had another pair, we could show you what a run really is. Ah.. just enjoy them, they'll let you know if something isn't going to work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe we could hit up the black team for 'em. [hops (carefully!) back up to her feet, and, giggles fading into excited thoughtfulness, starts testing how responsive the A-T are to smaller movements] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Minute body shifts while standing such as gestures while talking seem to be absorbed without any immediate reaction, leaving them as stable as your balance, but when you start to move, they're incredibly responsive to posture and pressure intuitively.] I've been thinking about that more and more. Parts for mine, a few beginner sets for anyone interested... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Has to execute a one-armed handspring after a miscalculation once or twice, but other than that..!] I was gonna go for some materia next, but now I'm not so sure. These are… they’re… They work, y’know? With the way I see things. And... [pause, then shrugs] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Watches without comment, but each try gets her closer and closer to pulling off the trick perfectly...]

Mmm. I think I know exactly... It feels more natural than walking. Or freeing... or something that simply makes the world work the way it should... Or something is simply completed...

Not everyone feels it... Back home most Storm Riders feel something like that the first time.

[clearly having the time of her life with each attempt]

Mm… dunno how to describe this, not exactly, but even without these things—[please hold while I twiiiiiiiiiiirl]—it’s like. I look around Sabra, and it’s all angles and pathways. I can do it with the shuriken, too; not just myself. And both at once. And… with these A-T, it’s like I could kick it up another notch. Be faster and higher and stronger and trickier.

	You could.. they can take you as far as you're willing to take them. Get a pair next chance you have after this. It would be really fun to play with them with someone else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Happy bounce! Happy controlled bounce.] Will do, will do! We could have races, and- huh. Wonder if we could get the rest of Hydra and Vulpecula in on this? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	be_my_chum 2010-07-16 08:41 pm UTC (link)
	Ah! Races, flat land, up walls, distance, speed. There's a LOT of different ways. [Stops and considers...] A lot of our teams seem like they'd really be good, don't they? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wutaistyle 2010-07-16 09:06 pm UTC (link)
	Up walls! How 'bout along them? Across them? [Also considers] Jinx has the co-ordination, Lucky has... well, uh, she's Lucky. Chika'd probs be good. Rex n' Zel, too. Dunno 'bout Black. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	be_my_chum 2010-07-16 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	Along them, across them, ceilings too for some distance. Hmm... I've never seen Black enough to really tell. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wutaistyle 2010-07-16 10:10 pm UTC (link)
	You're gonna have to pry these things off me if you want 'em back. How 'bout your team? Simba'd be hilarious, but exactly, uh, effective. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He laughs again.] Just a couple of days, and then you can borrow them again when you like. They're designed and furthered tuned to me and Sparta... they'll start hurting you... so your own pair IS better.

Heh.. Simba's already declined... Scowl's actually going to be really good like you are. Pyre may be really good too... I don't know about Molotov, but it would be interesting to see what he does. ... Ahahah.. I'm not sure about Rain.

	Awww... fine, fine. I'll talk to the others about goin' for a mission. [snickers] All together, we'd be a weird group. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	be_my_chum 2010-07-16 10:26 pm UTC (link)
	We would, but it doesn't sound bad, does it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The weirder the better! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	be_my_chum 2010-07-16 10:44 pm UTC (link)
	I agree, entirely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[griiiiiiiiiin. It is ever so slightly sharkish. Grabs her shuriken from where she'd left it leaning against a rock, too. It works most effectively with momentum, so it + A-T = ?!] It'd blow our current level of badassery straight out of the water~. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[?!= (Advent Children + Crazy Shounen Power Levels)* Physics out of the office for the month. Proof: This is gonna be off the handle.] Hahaha! Without a doubt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[It's gonna take a while to work out how to do this effectively. :\|a The weight of the shuriken makes it so much easier to spin out of control, and there are openings everywhere. Still, gotta start somewhere, right?] Are these things common back where you're from, then? You mentioned something about storm riders? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	be_my_chum 2010-07-17 04:02 pm UTC (link)
	Sort of. They were getting a lot of everyday use latel... ah, before I left. There's a whole culture around them though. Storm Riders are those who use them as a part of their life, no matter what the laws dictate about them. Some just to fly, others as less legal means, but there's a rather large ... well society around them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wutaistyle 2010-07-17 06:08 pm UTC (link)
	Heeh... I like the sound of that! Are you one of 'em? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
