star_kingdom | 003 ☆ video/action (agrabah)

[Oh, hello. The feed seems to be wedged back somewhere on the control panel of a gummi ship and it's shaking wildly. But look, there's Starkiller and Obi-Wan in the pilot seats and Obi-Wan is trying so hard to sound serene but--... holy mother of the Force, the ship is crashing!] --don't care if you have to think of baby rancors, please try to smile?

Baby Rancors? [Starkiller still finds it hard to believe this ship runs on smiles and happy thoughts, it just doesn't seem possible. He could keep the ship from crashing.]

[Obi-Wan glances over at him shortly.] --I don't know! [It was the first thing to come to mind!] Ler--

Don't. Start. [Leroy again? He'll never live that given name down.]

[Obi-Wan grins in spite of himself; he really has grown fond of that name.] Starkiller, we are going to crash if you don't think of something happy. And fast!

[Starkiller rolls his eyes and crosses his arms, doesn't look like he's going to smile anytime soon.] Relax, Jedi. I won't let this thing crash.

Oh, for the love of--... We're plummeting at an alarming speed towards a planet we didn't mean to land on and you're telling me to relax when you could have prevented this in the first place. ...Wonderful! [Obi-Wan is struggling with the controls, trying to get the ship to stabilize somehow.]

And I told you I wouldn't let this heap crash. [Starkiller's very sure of that. Perhaps too sure sometimes. That brought about a semblance of a smile.]

[The ship's power blips up a tiny bit from that sort-of smile, but not much. Vrooooom, they're flying into a very sunny looking world! Obi-Wan goes quiet, just hoping Starkiller knows what he's doing. He stays calm, but he's oh so very tense; his voice reflects that, as well.] Whatever you have up your sleeve, I suggest you start doing it now, please.

[Instead of a verbal answer, the clone reaches out with the Force, attempting to still the ship. This was no different than a TIE fighter. He was met with a lot of resistance, but even a ship that ran on smiles was no match for him. It comes to a sliding stop in the middle of the desert.] Ships don't need to run on smiles, Jedi. [Smirk.]

[Obi-Wan is just... staring at Starkiller. Did he really just stop them from crashing with the Force? His mind, it is utterly blown. ...Aaaand then he's suddenly grinning again.] You could bring a whole blasted ship down on my head whenever I call you Leroy and you haven't yet.

Would you like me to? [No one should have this much power at their fingertips, yet here he was not even thinking anything of it.] Any idea where we are?

...No, that's quite alright. [But the smile doesn't disappear.] Judging by the desert, I would venture to say Agrabah-- oh. [Obi-Wan notices his communication device blinking.] It must have turned on in all the chaos. [He's gonna reach over to turn it off now. Click!]

I'm going to have a look around.

We're here. May as well. Not very hospitable weather, is it?

And this planet is occupied?

What's that?

Oh! It appears to be a haboob. They have those on Tatooine.

[The whole exchange is amusing and worrying, and Padmé wishes that she could point out now that Obi-Wan would prefer flying with Anakin over this, but he wouldn't understand. Not yet.]

Try to keep him in one piece, Leroy.

[She's not in the ship with him, so she can start.]

Of course, Senator.

It is good to keep Obi-Wan humble.

[She is so trying not to laugh and mostly failing.]

Shouldn't that be the other way around, M'lady?

Oh, so you'd rather not be kept in one piece?

I meant that it should be I keeping Leroy in one piece.

What's going on here?

Piloting mishap.

My friend here refuses to believe these ships run on happiness. I apologize. We're not here to start trouble.

Whoa. It's like having my own show to watch and I can't stop.

Edited 2011-09-16 22:43 (UTC)

I can only imagine how that must have looked to an audience... These ships are more unwieldy than they appear.

No, I think it's more...you're both really bad at this.

Care to explain just what happened, Obi-Wan? [Also, feel free to introduce your friend if you like.]

Well... you see, Master. I thought it best to familiarize myself with the workings of a gummi ship so that we might travel more freely when we can afford our own. It wasn't supposed to be a very long trip, but... My friend here, Leroy, decided to tag along. --He's also a Force sensitive.

-It's Starkiller, not Leroy.

[Ami hurries towards the site as soon as she realizes it's close: right here near Agrabah. She sees the two gentlemen (she's spoken with one of them before, she notes) and comes closer.]

Are you both alright? You weren't injured, were you?

[A practiced eye runs over them both for any obvious hurts in the... she can only call it a crash, even if it had been averted in the last second.]

We're all right. Perhaps a bit of a bruised ego.

You gave Agrabah a fright. We were startled by such a sudden arrival. [She doesn't seem too upset, now that she's made sure they're not hurt.]

...the ships run on smiles?

They do, yes.

[One gauntlet covered hand rubs his brow.] Then I shall hope my teleportation ability is strong enough to go to another world. If it is not, I shall learn.
