First floor garage, Tuesday evening

[solo_sword]

Jaina wasn't so good with being bored, which was why she had a project. After a not-so-quick yet handwavey trip to the junkyard to see what she could scavenge, she set up shop (so to speak) in the garage, where she didn't have to worry about being messy or getting in Inara's way, and could take up as much room as she wanted while sticking lots of pieces of metal together.

Hard at work and yet distractable.

John just couldn't stay away from the garage. It was like he was drawn there by some magic force. Or maybe just the fact that he only had a few days left of babysitting Molly's swoop bike.

"Hey, whatcha doing?" he addressed Jaina with curiosity.

"I'm attempting a hoverboard," Jaina answered matter-of-factly from her spot on the floor. "You haven't seen a few repulsors just laying around that I can steal, have you?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Really? That's awesome!" John was impressed, but sadly shook his head at her question. "If I had, they'd be yours."

[solo_sword]

She hadn't actually been expecting a yes. "Thanks anyway," she said, deciding levitating it would be cheating. "I'll just have to get creative. So are you just passing through?"

"I've come to visit the swoop bike," John said, moving to where it was hovering off to the side. "I was considering going for a ride."

[solo_sword]

Her jaw dropped just a little when she saw it. "Oh my stars, you have swoop bikes here? I didn't expect to see one of those."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Yup! I'm watching over it this session for my friend Molly. Totally cool ride," John grinned, patting the bike with his hand.

[solo_sword]

And that explained how a swoop bike got here. "So 'watching' means joyriding?" she grinned.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John was good at explaining things properly. "It does to those of us who want to go for a ride," he smirked.

[solo_sword]

"Nice," she smiled. "So I'm betting you're practically an expert by now?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"After seeing you and Luke in action last session, I'd hardly consider myself an expert," John conceded. "But I'm not half bad."

[solo_sword]

Jaina jokingly buffed her nails on her shirt, but said seriously, "You did pretty well back there. I'm sure you're pretty good on the bike."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John smiled, "I'm willing to give a demonstration."

[solo_sword]

"I think I'm willing to accept it," she smiled back.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Have time now?" John asked.

[solo_sword]

Jaina looked back at the parts still strewn about the floor. "Somehow I think my project will still be there when we get back," she decided. "Sure."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Great," John grabbed helmets and offered her one. "Where would you like to go? Passenger's choice."

Anders waved from his Glider-perch in the corner. "Hey, Sheppard."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Anders, whatcha got there?" John said, waving back with a grin.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Well, according to Bridge, who gave it to me, it's called a Galaxy Glider," Anders explained. "But it doesn't actually go into space, so I leave off the Galaxy part. But it flies pretty fast, and it's fun"

He also hadn't ridden it much since he'd broken his leg falling off of it drunk, but he wasn't mentioning that part.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Cool," John said, appraising the glider. "We don't have that sort of thing where I'm from, but I do enjoy playing with toys from other dimensions."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"D'you want to give it a spin sometime?" offered Anders. "It's got a bio-what's-it lock, so only me and Bridge can start it up, but if you let me know when I'll totally come down and start it up for you."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Really?" John thought that would be pretty cool. "That would be cool." And was a man of so many words, too.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders could appreciate that. "Any time then, man. Just let me know when."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Awesome, buddy. I'll be sure to do that," John grinned.
