Off On The Rim

[KitanaVorr]

“Oh and Princess, ships this size don’t have a bridge they have a cockpit.”

Kai waved an hand unconcernedly. "Bridge, cockpit, whatever your compensating for, I don't care. I can call it the lounge if I want to."

“Do you think you can solve this issue with your contacts?”

"Why? Because the next step is to blast through the hanger bay doors in the very subtle move to get me out of here?" The princess scoffed and then marched over to the comm, muttering something rude under her breath. "Turn off all the damn noise!"

She gave everyone a look that indicated that silence was in order and when that occured, and she then flipped the switch. Suddenly her voice became very smooth, very sweet. "Hello? Hello? Tower people?"

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

A short moment passed until the Princess heard the voice, "This is Korin Tower. You calling for assistance on those repairs, Phoenix?"

 

[deadestdai]

Rytt was thankfull that he was not the only one who was in such a position. No, thankyou. You are probably more help up there. He didn't care that he may sound harsh, though he was sure Kluurz didn't care either way.

"Why? Because the next step is to blast through the hanger bay doors in the very subtle move to get me out of here?"

Shaking his head at her awful sarcastic tone, Rytt leaned back from his gunner's position and yelled back to the others If we're guning our way out've here - can someone please comfirm?! I need to know what I should be doing back here!

 

[KitanaVorr]

If we're guning our way out've here - can someone please comfirm?! I need to know what I should be doing back here!

Kai irritably turned the comm off for a moment to yell succintly. "Try shutting the hell up!" And then she turned it back again along with her very sweet voice. "Oh thank you! I'm sorry. I just got this new crew from Daddy and they're...well you know how space jockeys can get. All talk and nothing else going on."

She giggled charmingly. "Anyway. They're just overreacting to a busted coupler and all that steam. Oh I know, such incompetant babies and all. The ship is fine. I had a mechanic replace it."

Daos continues to grin quietly, leaning calmly against his bulkhead.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

"Ah..." the voice on the other end of the comm seemed to be confused, and Kai heard a click as if it was shut off for the person to ask what to do next.

There was another click, and then a new voice. Harsher and older sounding, "Listen, Phoenix, we don't take kindly to jokes here. Now, your crew may be young but they should be mature enough not to comm us about coolant leaks. We nearly had to evacuate this district."

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

Lance struggles to keep his face calm, thinking *At least it was Talon's idea. She's going to be insufferable after this. Well, more so.*

 

[KitanaVorr]

"Listen, Phoenix, we don't take kindly to jokes here. Now, your crew may be young but they should be mature enough not to comm us about coolant leaks. We nearly had to evacuate this district."

"I completely agree! Oh, I'll definitely give them a talking to for this, don't you worry. Just can't find good help these days, you know?" Kai laughed a bit and then spoke again in that honeyed voice. "Anyway, I'd like to get going if you can clear us for takeoff. I think the crew is getting more antsy the longer they stay here. You know, if they're not in space doing something useful, they imagine drama drama drama where there isn't any."

"I mean really, a faulty coupler and they're ready to declare a state of emergency. You understand my urgency to get them doing something useful."

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Talon Darkstrider: Human/Male (Scoundrel/Soldier)

Talon, having turned the alarm off, sets back and watches the princess wondering if he will ever see the sweet side instead of the mean and vindictive persona he is so use to seeing. Finally he decides that no he never will and that he would rather throttle her anyway.

"I completely agree! Oh, I'll definitely give them a talking to for this, don't you worry."

"I've always been a fan of a good flogging as negative reinforcement," opines Daos cheerfully from his spot on the wall.
