Off we go, into the wild blue yonder...

Who: Gadget and You
What: Building the Ranger Plane
Where: Around the Rig
When: Throughout the three days after Sheetcake.
Warnings/Notes: None

A: Day 1 and 2
Some, though probably not most, might see the downtime as a chance to slack off. Gadget, on the other hand, has been putting all the spare time she has to good use. She's always been industrious, especially when there's a problem that needs solving. Her size and the disadvantage it put her at is definitely one of them. The good news is she knows exactly how to close some of the gap.

Those looking for her or just walking around the Rig in general after in the couple of days following the sheetcake party might spot her collecting things. There's an empty bleach bottle here, a red latex glove, pieces of fabric, large gauge wire, strips of fake leather, suction cups, and other bits and bobs taken from the garbage and destroyed furniture that had attacked earlier.

She's a little more circumspect about the batteries, electrical wires, and alligator clips she's also taken, though. They would be a little hard to explain to the execs, given what she's planning on doing with them.

Other than that, though, she'd welcome some help and is definitely willing to explain most of her actions.

B: Day 3

It turns out what Gadget has been doing this entire time is building a plane. Or at least a cross between that and a blimp. The wings flap and the inflated glove provides even more lift. It may look a little unwieldy, but it flies despite that.

Pretty well, too, considering just how quickly it's moving through the halls. Ducking might be a good idea. Odds are she won't crash, she's no Launchpad McQuack, but it's always a good idea to take a few extra precautions.

A small flying machine hurtles through the air toward her as Elsa turns a corner. Her eyes go very wide, and she ducks, covering her head, just in time for it to zoom by.

Once she hears it go past, she straightens and looks after it, clearly trying to find out -- what was that?

Oh, she looks very curiously at the mouse in the flying machine. Despite the flyby, Elsa is charmed right down to the bottom of her Disney-branded heart.

"Ha ha, no. A little startled, maybe," she admits, smoothing a couple of flyaways back into place, then straightening her back and folding her hands in front of her. "I don't believe we've met?"

She gives a tiny wave with her fingers in lieu of a handshake, and a little wince at the mention of the furniture.

"I ran into some of it, too," she admits with a rueful smile. "A pack of wild chairs."

She peers at the plane with interest, noting the wings and the glove.

"Did you make that?"
