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.

She's already the most considerate mouse pilot he's ever met. The fact that he's never met one before has no bearing on this qualification.

"So you're like a mechanic? I've got a few friends back home who are into that. They... mostly make robots."
gempathizing: (good points about fusion: its nice)

There's something so heartwarming about the prospect of a world filled with sentient mice who build stuff and pilot ships and have family bonds. Some things are constants across every universe.

When he's of a mood, it's a real boost. Because it sounds sweet, and he loves sweet.

Even if the past tense doesn't escape him.

"So it runs in the family. That's great! You've got something that always connects you."
