The Zin Ship Above Fandom, Sunday Morning and Afternoon

Aug 02, 2015 09:02

Simulation 45y was failing.

Angry red lights were going off everywhere. Along with claxons. Too many claxons. Zin were running around, trying to shut off one claxon after another.

There was a lot of yelling.

And pods kept opening.

That was inconvenient.

There are several teleporter rooms all across the ship. Find them and hit a few buttons until they display Fandom - then you can go out.

Or find some other way to break out. Maybe you have friends on the outside?

The Ebon Hawk had deftly dodged incoming fire on its way up to the ship. The T3-unit steered it well, scanning the area until it found an exit hatch that wasn't located near any of the main guns. The ship hovered outside of it for a few long moments; then the ramp lowered in mid-air.

The hatch opened a second later.

T3 let out a long string of high-pitched bells and whistles.

"Doing exactly what I told you to doesn't make you a hero, you self-involved trash compactor!" Atton yelled.

... That wasn't going to stop Sparkle from giving the droid a thumbs-up from just behind Atton, no.

Because, look! A way off the ship! Yes! Best little droid!

The tiny T3 made a whooping noise of happiness in Sparkle's direction in response.

Atton rolled his eyes. He was a great multi-tasker: he could do just that while leaping out of the airlock and onto the loading ramp. "Make yourself useful and get me something to wear," he bellowed at the droid, "Let's get out of here!"

... maybe shoot down a few Zin fighters while they were on the way.

"Clothes actually sound really good right about now," Sparkle muttered, still following after Atton, quite happy to make his way onto a ship that wasn't full of ugly frog-faced jerks who were shooting at people. "Where do we sign up for clothes?"

Atton hit the button that shut the loading ramp as soon as he humanely could without locking Sparkle out. "Dormitories," he said, "First left, down the hall, keep walking."

He was gonna rely on the droid to get his clothes; with the speed h was going, he was practically in the cockpit already.

See, and this was how you knew they were going to be friends forever. The little things, like Atton not locking Sparkle out of the ship after going through all the trouble to find him in the first place!

"Dormitories," Sparkle echoed, vaguely remembering where they were from the grand tour, but thankful for the reminder all the same. He wasn't exactly at the top of his game right now, walking around Atton's ship in the stark nude not ten minutes after falling out of a brain-hacking bubble like something right out of that Keanu Reeves movie.

... Except minus all the pink slime, anyway.

The T3 was happy to zoom right past him, taking point in front of Sparkle. They both needed to go to the dormitories anyway, right? It bleedled and whistled happily the whole way, apparently unaware that someone didn't speak Droid.

The ship gave a little tremor as Atton pulled it away from the door and... deployed the guns.

He might as well.

Hey, at least the whistling and chirping was a pleasant series of noises, and the T3 was company that was all the more welcome because of it. Sparkle followed along behind, managing to keep his footing at that tremor, and tried not to think too hard about... the whole week. The whole fucking week.

"I'm going to put on some pants," he informed the little droid, "and I'm going to find a place to sit down. And then I'm going to just pretend none of that actually happened, at least until I have to admit that it really did."

Best life plans.

Bwoooooooo, the T3 said sympathetically. It rolled up to a cupboard, extending a small arm from one of its compartments to open it. Hopefully Sparkle would be content with GFFA-style pants?

It reached out and took out a neatly-folded tunic and pants to take up to the cockpit.

Bwoo-deet-doo?

Re: ESCAPE! myownface August 2 2015, 15:30:06 UTC
"Um, thanks," Sparkle replied lamely, reaching for a pair of pants and starting to pull them on. GFFA-style was great by him. Really. Just so long as there was something covering him where it most counted, he didn't care much about the style, today. "And sorry... I mostly only know Basic and whatever Huttese Atton spouts off. My droid is... not so great."

Nonexistent. It wasn't really a thing he grasped, at all, except for the inflections. Sympathetic 'bwoooooo'ing kind of spoke for itself.

"But... you know... thanks for coming with the ship. That was pretty awesome."

Watch out, Atton. Sparkle was going to make friends with your T3.

Terrible decision, Sparkle. The T3 was a self-involved cheater who needed a mind-wipe or three that he totally hadn't failed to get because Atton secretly kind of missed T3-M4.

The T3 whistled demurely. Then it gestured at the clothes it had grabbed with its eyepiece and dooted again.

Then it drove off to go find Atton, who was currently busy shooting Zin ships out of the sky bare-assed.

As you do.

Atton could do anything he liked bare-assed at this point, just so long as it got them away from the Zin ship.

And if T3 was a cheater, at least he was exactly the sort of company that Sparkle was most comfortable keeping in the first place. He followed along after the little droid, deciding that fashion from Atton's galaxy was, if not to his usual taste, at least sufficiently comfortable for him to not bitch about it, and when they made their way into the cockpit (what a word), just sort of hung back in the doorway for a moment, finally letting the nudity catch up to him and really sink in.

Oh hi.

Sparkle was damn lucky Atton was a little preoccupied, or the Seriously, Sparks, RIGHT NOW? would've gone beyond a brief glance spared between trying to control the ship with one hand and trying to struggle into his tunic with the other one.

He yanked the tunic down finally - the gloves and the other stuff would have to wait - and sent the Ebon Hawk diving down low below a set of incoming fighters.

Right. Sparks was here. He should probably set the ship down on the ground instead of continuing his one-man, not-entirely-Jedi-sanctioned payback run.

What? They were off the Zin ship and Sparkle didn't exactly have anything else to do right then!

Though maybe he would pull up a seat. That seemed like a good plan, all things considered.

"They're seriously stupid enough to keep fighting? After all that?"

"I don't think these guys have any interest in surrendering as a collective," Atton said.

Blah blah there is no emotion, there is peace-- e chu ta, how had Skywalker done the whole calming thing again?

"Some of those soldiers are punch-clock, but that Zinyak guy..."
