I13DT - Flying ((open))

by **Kay Haddock** » Fri Jun 27, 2014 2:49 pm

The Danger Room is active and the inside is pitch-black. That is, it would be if it wasn't for the bio-luminescent jellyfish slowly drifting through the void. And in between Kay is slowly drifting through them. The control panel shows that she's almost two kilometers below the surface of her tropical island simulation.

A chime sounds, indicating someone in the observation deck. "Hi, Kay," Miranda says, taking a seat.

by **Kay Haddock** » Tue Jul 01, 2014 11:55 pm

"Miri!" she says, sounding a little muffled as the room translate her watery-noises into speech, waving in a random direction.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Jul 01, 2014 11:58 pm

"You're pretty deep in," she comments. "Everything okay in there?"

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 12:01 am

"Yeah!" she smiles. "I had bit of a headache once I got past the first mile but I'm fine now. It was pretty spooky too, but then I found these guys here."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 12:07 am

"They are pretty cool looking. I bet you could explore all sorts of cool stuff."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 12:21 am

"Yeah, it's incredible. Here, check this out..." she says, flicking her legs and propelling herself through the water towards a particularly big jellyfish. Kay seems to aimlessly wave her arms around until suddenly the almost invisible tentacles of the creature light up in all kinds of colors, starting where Kay touched them and travelling down along the length of the thin tendrils before turning dark again.

"Neat! Didn't it sting you though? I thought that's what jellyfish did."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 12:40 am

"Hmm... No, it didn't. Maybe it's not all jellyfish?" she says, curiously running her hand through the tentacles again.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 12:42 am

"I could be wrong. Maybe some jellyfish don't sting."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 1:05 am

"We can look it up on the internet later."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 11:13 am

" I suppose," she said. "Ready for Christmas?"

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 11:19 am

"You bet! I picked a couple Christmas movies we can watch too. Gotta bring you up to speed on all the holiday cheer." she chuckles.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 11:30 am

"That'd probably be good. Having a hard time getting into the spirit lately."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 11:35 am

"Computer, show the observation deck." she says, swimming over when the window with Miranda in it appears in the illuminated darkness. "Everything alright?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 11:45 am

"Honestly? No. Old family issues. It's hard to explain and make any sort of sense." Miranda was wearing her hood pulled down over her eyes and Kay could see she was also wearing the binding over her eyes again.

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 11:47 am

"Wanna talk about it?" she asks, floating in front of the window.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 11:56 am

"I'm really not sure how. An old acquaintance of Mum's has been visiting me in the Astral."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 11:57 am

"Weird... Did you talk to her about it?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 12:45 pm

"Not yet. I'm not sure how. I talked with Mom, but that didn't end particularly well."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 3:18 pm

"I'm sure it'll be fine. That's what Christmas is all about!"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 3:21 pm

"If you say so. I'm still not sure I understand the whole thing, but I'm going with it at this point."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 3:30 pm

"It's all about family and being there for each other and stuff. And also cookies and presents." she chuckles.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 3:31 pm

"Cookies sound good."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 3:46 pm

"The computer tells me there's a lot of pressure in here right now, but that's nothing compared to having to explain Christmas to somebody." she snickers.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 3:54 pm

"I do realize that it's a lot to ask of you. I appreciate you doing it."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 4:11 pm

"Oh it's fine, I didn't mean it like that." she smiles. "I just hope your first ever Christmas will be magical, even if you're too old to believe there's actually a fat man coming down the chimney to bring you presents."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 4:40 pm

"Still, I appreciate it," she said, putting her hand on the glass.

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 4:50 pm

Kay smiles brightly and puts her hand on the glass as well. After a couple seconds she seems to realize what she's doing and dashes backwards through the somewhat shadowy waters to hide the fact that she's blushing. "I'll... be right out, okay? I'm done with my training anyway." she mumbles.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 4:53 pm

"If you're sure. I don't want to interrupt."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 5:16 pm

"Nah, it's fine. I'm, like, way ahead on all my power control homework cause it's super easy." she says as she swims upwards and out of view of the observation deck.

When she gets close to the surface she just says "Computer, end the program." and she suddenly stands in an empty room. After a couple of seconds though she starts to look kind of worried and she gasps for air, the gills on the side of her neck flaring noticeably.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 7:12 pm

Miranda is immediately worried. "Are you okay?"

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 7:19 pm

Kay tries to talk but instead there's just more gasping for air and coughing.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 7:22 pm

"Computer, page a teacher and fill the room with water again!"

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 7:26 pm

The room instantly fills with water and Kay immediately takes a deep 'breath', a stream of small air bubbles rising from her gills.

"T-thank... What was that?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 7:31 pm

"You looked like you were having trouble breathing. I've had it page a teacher. Did you surface too fast?"

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 7:41 pm

"Yeah I couldn't get any air! And I don't think so, I always go up pretty fast..."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 7:55 pm

Ryan came skidding around the corner into the observation deck, ready to do some sort of override, but calmed down when he didn't see anyone bleeding out or otherwise dying. "Did you send a page out?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 7:57 pm

"I did. Kay was having trouble breathing without the water."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 7:59 pm

Ryan walked over to the window. "Kay? Are you all right for the moment?"
