Characters: Leo Valdez, Eponine Thernardier, and YOU!
Date: May 15
Location: Everywhere
Situation: Leo takes his hoverboard flying around the different sectors!
Warnings/Rating: Hey this guy is from a wholesome canon so G for now. Changing if needed!


[Leo sometimes remembers, vaguely, a promise to Annabeth that he would tell her about his hoverboard when he actually manages to finish it. Today is not that day.

He screws in the final bolt and grins as he watches the hoverboard rise from the ground. So he cheated, kind of, using a little bit of that Celestial Bronze to actually bring it to life, but whatever. Little details. He hops on it, wobbling for only a couple of seconds before he finds his balance, Thomas and Buford leaping excitedly below him.]

Alright! [He claps his hands together and rubs them excitedly.] Let's do this!

[And off he goes!]

Comments

[justlittle]

[Right. Fun. He can do that. People smile when they are having fun, right? So Bean smiles. It... doesn't look entirely genuine.]

[fotia]

[O M G] Whoa, whoa, hey man, you're not out to bite anyone's head's off, just chill.

[justlittle]

[Bean gives up the farce of smiling and slows the hoverboard to a stop, hopping off. It was enjoyable while it lasted, but it's probably best he give it back now.]

Thank you for allowing me to ride.

[fotia]

[He's just. going to chuckle a bit at that BEAN WHY SO FORMAL. He then takes his place beside the hoverboard, almost protectively, but he doesn't step on it just yet.] No problem, man.

[And he offers his hand!] Leo Valdez, by the way.

[justlittle]

Bean. [He shakes the offered hand, loosening up slightly.]

You made this?

[fotia]

[firm shake and release! as he pats the hoverboard with pride.]

Yep! With all my sweat, tears, and love. Pretty sweet ride, huh?

[justlittle]

[Bean doesn't comment on whether he finds it "pretty sweet" but merely asks:] How did you find antigrav technology here? Tu Vishan has always seemed strictly low-tech to me.

[fotia]

[UHHHHH...] Hey come on, man. How does that line go again? A mechanic never tells his secrets. Or something like that.

[Celestial Bronze a.k.a. godmode metal. B|]

[justlittle]

[Bean nods. He wouldn't divulge his engineering secrets to a complete stranger either.]

Well. You're very talented, then.
