Arashikage Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 "From here to Ireland is about six or seven hours. Then from Ireland to Japan will be ten or eleven depending on the stops we have to make" Kage explained, starting up the engines. The plane lit up as the main power unit came on, the engines whirring to a start. "Icy, get the door for me?" He called from the cockpit, waiting for him to comply. "Alright, wheel chocks are off, engine covers are off, doors closed..." He started, pulling the door to the cockpit closed, then pressing the intercom, "This is your captain speaking, please fasten your seatbelts and return your seats to their upright position." He said, flipping on the seatbelt light and the no smoking sign. The cabin was very nice. It had plenty of space, two flat screen TV sets were at the front with multiple game consoles, and DVDs. Towards the back was a small kitchen with an electric stove, microwave oven, and sink. The bathroom was directly adjacent to the kitchen. The main part of the cabin had eight seats, none of which were positioned traditionally. Instead, four of them faced each other, pointing sideways towards the middle of the aircraft, and the other four being aligned to a table. Each seat had a seatbelt, which should be fastened to one of the passengers at this point. (Sorry for how long it took me to write this, hopefully we can get this going quicker soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavemonkynick Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Nick couldn't help but grin at Kage's enthusiasm. It's like he was the Doctor and this plane was his TARDIS... "Bad comparison... The TARDIS is a bit of a rough ride." He mused. He turned back to the panel in front of him. Now Nick was a gamer. Pushing button's was at least half of his life, the other half being food, sleep, and other biological needs. But these buttons were foreign. The Dr. Who analogy seemed rather fitting with Kage's hands deftly running through their routine while Nick sat gawking. The ignorant companion turned back to his doctor and awaited instruction.

Arashikage Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 "Do you know anything about radio operation?" Kage asked, hoping that Nick could talk to ATC for him. However, this may have been a far fetched idea, after all, this wasn't talkin' to your buddies on Xbox Live. "Basically, it's simple, repeat what I say into the mic for the air traffic controllers to hear. When they grant us permission to take off, you say our tail number in phonetics, so that's November, Charlie, Bravo, One, Niner, Niner, and then you say acknowledged. Generally it's a good idea to repeat back to them what you said, so if they say, "Citation One Niner Niner clear for taxi to runway One Two using taxiway Alpha" You would say something like "Clear for taxi using taxiway Alpha, Citation One Niner Niner" Got it? If not that's okay, I remember before I handled radio operations." He said. He was confident Nick would do a good job, but he needed to be sure that he was up to the challenge before he pulled the parking breaks loose.

Fedora Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Fedora already started to yawn. He'd flown quite a bit before but always always always hated how long it took to actually get off the ground. Well, at least this time he could yell at the pilot. "Get it going already! I already feel like I've been here for months!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavemonkynick Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 "Oi!" Nick yelled back, "Either shut up or walk to Japan!" He Loved how easy it was to settle into banter with these guys. "Sorry about that. So right now I'm just waiting for the tower to give us the all clear right?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arashikage Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 "No right now you need to ask for clearance. I told you I'd tell you what to say and you say it. So just say our tail number, "November Charlie Bravo One Niner Niner" and then "Requesting permission to taxi for takeoff, east departure." Simple right? Just put your hand on that red button on the radio stack, and say it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavemonkynick Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 "Gotcha, must have missed a bit of instruction what with the peanut gallery and all." Nick responded with a laugh. Then he set about his task and press the button Kage had pointed out. "November Charlie Bravo One Niner Niner," he recited, "Requesting permission to taxi for takeoff, east departure."

Arashikage Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 "One Niner Niner, you are clear to taxi to runway One Two using taxiway Alpha" The ATC said over the radio. Kage gave Nick a thumbs up as he released the parking brake, beginning to ease the throttle forward to taxi to the runway. "Now acknowledge our clearance."

Cavemonkynick Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 "Clear for taxi using taxiway Alpha, Citation One Niner Niner" Nick said. He noticed a small bit of smugness in his voice, that kind of smug you get when you think you know what you're doing. He mentally reprimanded himself before he made a complete fool of himself.

Arashikage Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Kage taxied to runway 12, holding short of it before listening for the tower. Sure enough, they said "Citation One Niner Niner, contact New Haven Air on one two four point eight." Kage decided to take the radio for that one "Contacting New Haven Tower, one two four point eight" he said before he turned the dial on the radio. It clicked a few times, but it wasn't long before they started hearing different sounds. "Now, tell them 'Citation One Niner Niner requesting permission to take off from runway one two, east departure'" He instructed. Nick was doing well so far, luckily this was the last transmission they needed to make until they got to Ireland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fedora Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Fedora knew this was all necessary and all. But he STILL hated that long wait. That and he felt like poking at Nick and Kage some more. "Borrrrrrrring! This is so booorrrring! This is so boooorrrring! Get to the show!~" He sang to the tune of the Star Wars theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavemonkynick Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Nick couldn't help but laugh but managed to otherwise not acknowledge Fedora. Obvious troll is obvious. He thought. Excellent use of nostalgia critic though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fedora Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 "We really shouldn't need guns." Fedora said. "We're going to steal a video game not massacre Q-Games staff." Frankly, even the morph suits and such felt like way too much and yet, here we are. But then the thought of Palladion springs to mind, "Well, from what I can best describe as dimension shattering, I do have a laser pistol. Please, no questions as to how that works." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavemonkynick Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 "I'm with Fedora," Nick called from the cockpit. "Non-lethal is the way to go. I wanna get this game, but it's not worth killing people. That being said if we scored some tranquilizer pistols or something we could use those as a last resort." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballisticwaffles Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 At Starkids Query, to things went through Waffle's mind. The first was his bladder as it expanded in preparation for the sheer terror of Take off. The second was how truely dedicated and absolutly insain the company he found himself in. Waffles leaned forward in his seat, his expression blank. "You are willing to murder over a video game." It wasn't so much a query as much as it was a calm resignation of his fate, and perhaps a... Did Fedora mention a laser beam? Waffles Eyes Crossed, his whole being on the brink of madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arashikage Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 "Citation One NIner NIner, you are cleared to take off, runway one two" came the ATC's voice over the radio. Kage tapped Nick on the shoulder, that was his cue. He pulled onto the runway he had held short of and prepared to take off, holding the brakes down and pushing the throttle up to full to make sure everything was in order, then pulling it back to cut before awaiting Nick's acknowledgement.

Cavemonkynick Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 "Cleared to take off, runway one two, Citation One NIner NIner," Nick responded over the radio hoping he remembered the formula for responding right. "Hey Kage," He said, "how much you wanna bet that Kid manages to break Waffles before we even get to Japan?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arashikage Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 "I'd say it's a safe bet, I'd wager about ten dollars." Kage said. He then proceeded to ease up on the brakes, pushing the throttle forward as the plane began to move forward. When it got up to speed, he pulled back on the yoke, the yoke on Nick's side moving at the same time as the plane swept up into the air. They were going somewhere around two hundred miles per hour now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
