LtCmdr Azura Ada - get it? Zha's short

Ada: Whoo! ::she laughed:: They say it gets easier to stomach when you hit terminal velocity. But this is kinda fun already??

Azura gentley moved and turned, getting a feeling for it, and seeing how the suit's stabilization system reacted to her movement. She could feel it adjusting this and that, not letting her move too fast. A soft giggle came over the comms.

Is'Kah: Oh wow. This is amazing. It doesn’t even feel like we’re falling.

Ada: No, not really! Such a strange feeling. 

Is'Kah let go of Azura's hand, seemingly gaining confidence. Azura, too, was starting to adjust to the freefall. 

Is'Kah: Why was I so scared of this? Illogical fears, that’s why.

Azura looked down at the Earth.

Ada: Well, I dunno how illogical. But yeah, this is great!

She tried a somersault, and felt the suit's stabilizers disagreeing withe the decision, but acquiescing. 

Is'Kah: Oh, I bet we could go so much faster than 453 kph. ::Beat:: Last one down buys the first round.

Zha taunted before streamlining zhenself and diving for the ground.

Ada: Wha! Hey, hang on! 

Laughing, Azura tucked her limbs in and became a human bullet chasing after Is'Kah, though the pocket-sized friend had clearly gotten a head start on her, and they shared a terminal velocity. 

Is'Kah: ?

Ada: Oh, keep gloating. ::Azura pulled up the settings for her parachute deployment and set it as low as the system would let her:: I'll have a mock mule with caitian mint oil.

Is'Kah: ?

Azura giggled.

Ada: Figured you'd need to know, is all.

Is'Kah: ?

Ada: Oh--no, I don't drink much. The mint oil is a social lubricant and a good buzz. Why, what's your drink of choice?

Is'Kah: ?

Ada: Uh-huh. And how many of those can you handle, half of one? Am I going to have to carry you back to the hotel?

Is'Kah: ?
