The Dorm Roof, Friday Afternoon

Nov 25, 2005 15:23

Cally, with the intrepid and very necessary help of Anders, has hauled up some welding equipment to the dorm roof.

Today the Viper frame is to be re-fabricated. So, with the help of Anders (who is holding the big pieces in place, as that is probably the extent to which his skills run), Cally sets about this arduous work.

Anders feels very useful today as he holds a piece of Viper frame in place. "So, how long do you figure this'll take, coach?"

He's not at all distracted by thoughts of the fact that the Viper pieces are completely out of room 213, and impending officialness and stuff.

If he was, he might drop a heavy piece of frame on his foot or something.

Well, he better not crush his own damn foot, or Cally will cry, and the world will melt.

Cally smiles as she flips up the welding mask. "Dunno. Could take a while, what with just the two of us. But we don't have to do this all day. Especially with the cold and all." She shrugs. "Besides, we gotta get ready for the Triad game, later, too."

"Well, with any luck maybe someone *cough*Bridge*cough* will show up to help, huh?" He frowns and shifts one end of the piece he's holding up a micrometer or two, and grins over at Cally. "Welding mask looks good on you."

Anders is very determinedly not thinking distracting thoughts, because if Cally cries, he's going to cry too, and that just can't happen.

"Anything we need for the Triad game? Foodwise, I mean? I can run out and get drinks or whatever. Snacks?"

"Well, we still have some rolls and side dish stuff from last night. Might wanna get some popcorn or pretzels or something." Cally flips down the mask and goes back to welding for a bit. Afterwards, she flips up her mask again.

"There, that's that bit. Now... grabs the piece over there and put it up against this one, and that should be right." She nods and gestures, smiling the whole time.

After Cally and Anders leave, the same group of gremlins from yesterday (minus the one who is probably still a smoosh mark on the ground below) come out to inspect their work. They all walk around the assembled frame inspecting and discussing Cally's handy-work.

Finally, after a brief, if mildly violent, conference they all climb up onto the framework. The winner of the conference sits where the pilot's seat will eventually be. The rest spread themselves out over the Viper frame wherever they can find a comfortable perch.

The 'pilot' squeaks through a 'check list' as he pretends to flip switches and tap dials. Various gremlins behind him answer as he calls out each item. When the check list is finished the 'pilot' 'starts the engine'. He then begins making plane noises and all the gremlins lean in unison as the the 'pilot' 'flies' them about.
