[Milliways: Field Trip to Haddyn, 2293]

[slayer_fray]

Bar had given them all back packs. It's kind of cute, really, in Mel's opinion. small little things, containing only the essentials - a zapper pistol for each of them, a cross, a stake, a round of PB&J with the crusts cut off, a flask of milky tea, and lunch money (about 20 coi each).

Mel herself just has her own gun and scythe sheathed on her back, as she climbs through the window into her small, beaten up apartment, and holds the door open for them.

This suggestion is considered. "Noodles like alfredo?" Makita's not really much of a basic staple foods connoisseur.

"Yeah," Mel says, dismissively. "And soft. It's nothing like you can get in Bar. Just a family trying to make their way."

She stands at the edge of the roof she's on, peering down and judging. "There," she says, pointing down and to the left, where there's a terrace a couple of stories down. "You want the board, 'Keet?"

Steph's already launching herself off the edge.

And planning on overpaying like mad, after what Mel said.

Plus, she's gotta beat Jet down.

And she does.

Barely.

He's almost atop her when they reach the bottom-- an arm is slung around her shoulders a moment after, and --

--a lock of blond hair is tugged on the side opposite from him.

"Not bad, Steph," he replies. "You could almost make it as a freedom fighter..." Almost. But maybe not quite. "Bet a week in the woods would kill ya, though."

Poor Mel, poor Makita. Fogotten in the 'tease the friend of the girlfriend'. Or is that 'hit on the friend of the girlfriend'? It's hard to tell with Jet.

The distance is carefully gauged. Makita thinks her dropline would probably handle it, but... "Yeah," she says to Mel. The board sounds like a good plan.

Mel smirks and pulls the board back out again, flipping it rigid before pushing it over.

"Here," she says. "Give it a go and I'll follow you down."

Down on the terrace, Steph elbows Jet in the side and sticks her tongue out at him. "Oh, yeah, 'cos I'm totally that girl who couldn't cope without her hair dryer."

Or just a city girl through and through... one of the two.

She cranes her neck back to see where the others are, taking the opportunity to step on Jet's foot.
