[She's seen the sci-fi shows. She's read books. Hell, she's seen that gif where the sun starts off really huge next to the earth and by the time it's shown you the biggest star in the galaxy or the universe or whatever the sun isn't even a single pixel on your screen, it's so small next to it. And if the sun isn't even a single pixel, she herself is like...a bazillionth of a pixel.
Being a bazillionth of a pixel never felt so amazing.
She's virtually craning herself up into the sky on the observation deck, watching the stars trickling past like the sun sparkling on a river, and that giant asteroid with its creepy kind of glow over everything, and she's out in it, right out here in the final frontier. She's beaming so much it hurts, and the one thing throwing kind of a damper on it is wishing T or Brooke could be here to freak out about it with.
She can freak out with herself for now. Or with you, the passerby she hears, rather than sees - she reaches behind her to beckon, flapping her hand at whoever it is like get over here quick.] Hey, how fast you think we're going right now? Ballpark.
[So goddamned fast.]
the sun in flight
[And now the ship looks like the deep ocean. Black, dark as she imagines the deep ocean, even darker than space...save for the glow of jellyfish lazily drifting about the place. Only unlike jellyfish--]
Ow!
[They have teeth, and they bite.
And now her hand, her actual hand, is glowing like it's radioactive, and the jellyfish? It's out of here, flitting off down the hall. And all she can think is - get bit by a spider, you catch it and take it to the ER, right? That way they can check what the poison is and shit.
So she's dashing down the hallway, holding up her hand like it's a torch and she's Indiana Jones on a mission, but that doesn't stop her accidentally shoulder-checking somebody, stumbling and slamming into the wall.] Shit-- hey, sorry, man - 'dyou see where that one jellyfish went?
[That one out of like five just on this stretch of hallway.]
