002 ☠ action | Training Center // Secret Area

[loyalfirst]

Option 1 - Training Center:
[Ever since his embarrassing defeat to a woman, Joe had taken it upon himself to visit the Training Center daily. He would stay there for hours on end-- from the time the school opened for classes, and until night fell upon the Garden, only stopping to take a break for lunch or dinner. To say that he was obsessed with

Two!

[Marvelous found the secret area but was surprised to see Joe there. Also the fact that he was sitting on the edge of the balcony.]

What are you doing?

[loyalfirst]

[He turns his head to look at Marvelous.]

Something weird happened to me today.

[makeashowofit]

What? [They've had enough dumb shit to deal with back on Earth. Why is it happening here?]

[loyalfirst]

[. . .]

I think I can fly.

[makeashowofit]

....Fly?

[loyalfirst]

Fly.

[makeashowofit]

[Well...this qualifies as dumb shit that happens.]

Is that why you're sitting up here?

[loyalfirst]

[Yes, it does.]

I'm not really sure.

[makeashowofit]

[Looking over the edge of the balcony, Marvelous gave a small hum at the drop.]

Long way to fall if it doesn't work. [But, if he could figure it out, that could give them a slight advantage. Wasn't as if they never had any experience flying with the Jetman Ranger keys in their possession. And Joe was good enough with them to not crash into the ground.]

[loyalfirst]

[A long way to fall which would end with him as a bloody, mangled heap on the ground.]

It would give it more time to kick in if I could. [Shrug.]

[makeashowofit]

[Well, he had the Jetman key and Mobirate in his hands so, even if it doesn't work, that's plan B.

And if it does work, that's good too.]

Yeah. Hey, you know I trust you with anything, right? Not just to watch my back but, your judgments as well.

[loyalfirst]

I know.

[He looks away and back out at the Garden below him.]

[makeashowofit]

So, you should trust my judgment on this one.

[Grabs by the shoulder and SHOVES YOU OFF THE BALCONY.]

[loyalfirst]

[MOTHERFUCK--]

Huh--

[And down he goes...

But you'll notice something sitting on the stone railing.

Guess what-- Joe doesn't have his Mobirate with him.]

[makeashowofit]

[Marvelous is watching his first mate fall before he turns his head to see the Mobirate.

Staring at it for a long time.]

EHH?!

[Oh fuck, why is plan B still here?!]

[loyalfirst]

[Because he never put Plan B back in his pocket... or wherever he puts that clunky-ass thing.

So he's falling, and falling, and falling...

And hey, why is there no screaming or yelling... or anything? Not like Marvelous would notice anyway, because he's probably feeling guilty for pushing him off the balcony without Plan B.]
