Out they went, falling without any of the visual cues that a body would expect. The lack of sensation was slightly disappointing, but at the same time, comforting.
Ada: Whoo! ::she laughed:: They say it gets easier to stomach when you hit terminal velocity. But this is kinda fun already??
The hybrid forced zhen eyes open, the view mesmerizing. While looking around, Is’Kah felt zhen body relaxing from zhen anxiety and fear melting away. A soft giggle managed to transmit before speaking.
Is'Kah: Oh wow. This is amazing. It doesn’t even feel like we’re falling.
Ada: No, not really! Such a strange feeling.
Slowly, the hybrid let go of Ada’s hand, slowly shifting into a skydiver’s pose while a broad grin formed. Zhen emotions from the moment zha was asked to leap out seemed so silly now.
Is'Kah: Why was I so scared of this? Illogical fears, that’s why.
Ada: Well, I dunno how illogical. But yeah, this is great!
Glancing at zhen monitors on zhen forearm, Is’Kah noted their speed.
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!
The hybrid heard Azura’s laugh as she tucked herself in and followed Is’Kah.
Is'Kah: Catch me if you can!
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: I mean, that sounds delicious, but why?
The giggling coming over the comm drew a grin from Is’Kah.
Ada: Figured you'd need to know, is all.
Is'Kah: Do you drink much?
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: Umeshu chūhai. It’s made with shōchū and umeshu, adding a sweet-and-sour plum flavor.
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: If you want to carry me back, then give me a tall glass of chocolate milk, neat.
Ada: Response
Is'Kah: How about we start the night with a shot of chocolate for me and tequila for you?
Ada: Response
The hybrid grinned as zha started to feel wind resistance, causing a check of zhen speedometer, they were just over 1000 kph. It wouldn’t be much longer before the atmosphere slowed them to a tenth of their current speed.
Is’Kah was looking forward to the night. Azura was right about the looks they would get from landing in the club in Tokyo. Zha could see the city on the eastern side of the archipelago of Japan, but realized that zha had no idea where they were going to land. Zha rolled so that zha could lower zhen head to look at Azura, mock anger in zhen voice.
Is'Kah: Oh, you tricksy woman! No wonder you wanted me to know your drink, you never told me where we’re going besides Tokyo! Of course, you’re going to win.
Ada: Response
