[ this could be better, but it sure could be worse, too. carolina wanted no part in anything valentine's related like some people on the ship seemed to be planning, so this works as a really nice distraction, as far as she's concerned. sure, it made the escort mission out of the training areas a little more interesting than she would have liked, but it wasn't anything she couldn't handle. and now she's in her armour, with the mag lock on her boots easy to activate, which means she doesn't have too much to complain about.

for now, at least.

she starts off moving through the residence halls (mostly bouncing off walls, because it's quicker than walking) and stopping at the rooms of people she knows, checking in on them and opening doors as necessary. are you having trouble in the halls or elevators? well, she might be able to help with that, too. ]

[rockthemonkey]

[Also bouncing down the halls, trying to check on his various friends, is Goku. The lack of gravity had been pretty alarming at first, but now he's moving like a pro! He's been kicking off from wall to wall to move forwards, helped along by the red staff in one hand, and doing pretty well when one front flip sends his cape into his face and blocks his vision as it wraps around his head.]

Ah- wait- [Disorientated, he ends up staying upside down in mid-air, still soaring down the hall towards Carolina while he tries to untangle himself.

Uh, watch out?]

[leaderboards]

[ simply watching out is for people with slower reflexes. carolina catches the movement before he gets too close and opts for helping, reaching out to grab the wall for support, anchoring herself there. this, of course, means that as goku goes tumbling past, she can grab onto his nearest limb (a leg) and stop him. ]

Hold on, there.

[ ... as if he could. she's helping, really. ]

[rockthemonkey]

[Carolina can go ahead and grab him, like a hero.] Uwaah! [Goku flails comically with his free limbs for a second, finally getting his cape to float up out of his face.]

'm trying! [Twists his body around to try and look back at her.] Uh, thanks!

[leaderboards]

You're... welcome. [ it's a little stilted, but she means well. so she gives him a little tug over to the nearest wall, letting him find something to grab onto before she lets go. ]

I don't think capes and zero G really go together.

[rockthemonkey]

[Goku scrambles but with some effort manages to grasp onto a doorframe and hold himself in place. Look at this hapless teen.]

Huh? No way! It's totally fine! Capes are cool.

[leaderboards]

[ that gets a little tilt of carolina's head, as if she has no idea what to do with a comment like that. ]

But not at all practical.

[rockthemonkey]

Nah, it's fine!

[He says, as if he wasn't just choking on the stupid thing.]

Anyway, what about you? [He reaches over to knock curiously on Carolina's armoured shoulder.] Isn't that heavy? That's not practical either, right?

[leaderboards]

It's perfectly practical. [ and yes, does weigh an actual ridiculous amount. but it protects her from everything and has sweet magnetic locks on the boots, so it's perfect for situations like these.

which is why she sounds a little offended. ]

I could walk on the hull of this ship in this armour and wouldn't feel a thing.

[rockthemonkey]

But if the ship weren't all weird like this, you wouldn't be able to jump around an' stuff, right? It looks too heavy.

[Jumping is important!]

It looks cool though, and I bet it makes punching ya suck real bad!

[leaderboards]

That it does. [ which is a good thing, for someone who winds up getting punched a lot. (usually because she throws the first punch, in everyone else's defence.) ]

And I don't have to worry too much about jumping when I can do anything else I need to in this. I can pass on jumping.

[ they have different priorities. ]

[rockthemonkey]

[Some people just need to get punched!]

Mm, I guess... [Not everyone fights like they're playing the floor is lava, after all.] What else can you do with it?
