RP: Effie & Lucas
Who: Effie/Lucas
When: Day 22 (April 14)
Where: Level 10
What: Broom testing
Effie had talked to Lucas about testing the broom, but it had taken a couple of extra days to get it to a state where she was ready for that to happen. Between the new job rotations and working on getting all the floors operational, things had to be prioritized. So it wasn't until after lunch on the second day after she'd talked to him (keeping track of days was getting to be impossible) that they found themselves down on Level 10, which had the most wide-open space for testing prototype brooms.
"Thanks for doing this," Effie said because she was determined to be civil at the very least since he was doing her a favor in agreeing to test the broom at all. "I've tried it myself, and it's functional, but I can't make notes or adjustments that efficiently when I'm also concentrating on flying." She was confident that the broom wouldn't fail completely, and she was reasonably sure it wouldn't throw him off either. "What I'd really like are any suggestions on stability, speed, maneuvering capabilities. It's going to be nothing like you're used to, even with recreational brooms, but the most important thing is that it gets to height and speed quickly, reacts with your reflexes, and doesn't jerk you all around."
She'd built the broom along the same lines as those used by the Hit Wizards or on a dragon reserve, rather than Quidditch. It wasn't as polished or sleek as a professional racing broom and had been made from whatever wood had been salvaged rather than a wood known for making decent brooms, but it was sturdy and had reacted to her commands in a satisfactory timeframe. It had been a bit rough around the edges, but hopefully, if she saw those kinks in action she could smooth them out.
"All right, let's start slowly."
