h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*Felices Volarindibus is a small ship, custom made but based loosely on a Lambda class shuttle, and very much "souped-up". The wings are shorter and the main cockbit is smaller, with a bed, kitchenette and 'fresher room installed, meaning it would carry about five people at a bit of a squash. It's painted a vibrant dark purple, and the formation lights at the tips of the wings are a bright white*

*the inside is decorated almost to the point of lavishness; the small countertop is of a rare, polished amythest-streaked stone slab, the consoles gleam, slightly sparkly, and there are a multitude of Lush products in the 'fresher*

< you have a ship>

< thanks... sounds like fun>

< No one's told Chnei about Ma'rol and Anoon, or about Anoon and Eland's fight or anything yet...>

*enters*

Ahh, such a pretty ship...what do you think of it, Jo'tra?

*enters rabbing his hand along the walls as he comes in*

You have a nice ship here, but how does it fly *smiles*

*smiles*

With /engines/...

*the smile freezes and disappears from her face, then she goes and closes the hatch*

*starts tapping at the controls*

*talks a seat next to her*

What was all that about?

*smoothly* What was what abuot?

*taps at the controls and the hip glides into the air*

Smooth handling, don't you think?

How does it handle in a combat situation?

you were smiling and then it just disappeared all of a sudden

*rather flatly* Oh, like a dream...I love this ship, I do.

*enters coordinates for Naboo* The navicomp's a bit slow sometimes though, it takes a couple of minutes to calculate the course for lightspeed...

*turns to him slightly* Really? I didn't notice.

How fast is the hyperdrive?

maybe I was mistaken

*smiles at her*

*smiles with difficulty*

Um, I think it's point seven five past lightspeed...not that fast, but enough...good sub-light power though.

*turns back again*

*reaches out and puts his hand on her shoulder*

Are you that uncormfortable around me?

*brushes his hand away quickly*

It's nothing, I'm fine.

*she's obviously not fine, but is trying to hide that fact*
