Star Shimmer has posed:
Its been a rather quiet week for the most part. Aside from the whole threat from the mob to get out of Gotham. That was the only lowpoint for the week really. Right now though, Autumn is busting her butt. She's got a lot to do and is trying to get it all done. She does have time but, sometimes her mind is racing and she just needs to rush to keep up. So what is she doing? She is sitting there in front of her computer, all three monitors are list up. One shows the history of aviation, One shows the information Carol gave her. Another has photoshop open. There is another tab open looking for quotes and a word program as well which is showing the basis for a speach. To say she's doing a lot is an understatement.

The doorbell rings and she is quick to answer it. A Pair of pizzas and two bottles of diet soder are delivered. She quickly throws one pizza in the fridge as well as one of the sodas. She promptly opens the pizza and her soda then its back to work.

Star Sapphire has posed:
Carol Ferris decides to continue visiting Autumn as Star Sapphire. She's not ready for you to be inthe Ferris-Air limelight. But she's so happy she's practically glowing... for rumor has it that her sweetie might be coming home soon. She knocks on your window, smiling, and in case you don't notice, creates an eight-point-star construct in front of your eyes.

Star Shimmer has posed:
Autumn Stillwater wouldn't have really noticed the visitor to her apartment without the construct in her face. She quickly jumps up and goes to answer the window. "Come on in." She opens the window and lets Star in before going back to work.

"Sorry I was just having some pizza. Would you like some?" She offers as the keyboard is pounded on. "I was ummm doing a little work. I've been working on my Valedictorian speach and sorta... an aircraft design?" She blushes a little.

Star Sapphire has posed:
Carol Ferris studies you, creaeting a construct plate to take a slice of pizza. "That is an impressive skill, your ability to multitask like that." She looks at the three monitors, which have three completely different things on it. "I thought that getting visual feed from two different construct-drones at once was a neat trick..."

Star Shimmer has posed:
Autumn Stillwater looks at Carol and smiles with a little shrug. "Its been just something I've been doing ya know? Sometimes it's just easier to have everything in front of me. I am supposed to write this speach and I don't want to wait until the last minute with it." She shrugs. "Oh and I was working on my first real design. I was just using the information you gave me to see if I could maybe try to make something? Ya know?"

Star Sapphire has posed:
Star Sapphire blinks. "That is... an ambitious undertaking," she muses. "It normally takes years to make a viable design. However... you have an advantage here." She smiles. "I can create it, instantly, and see if it's flightworthy..." She ponders. "You're close to graduating, huh?" she asks.

Star Shimmer has posed:
Autumn Stillwater looks at Star Sapphire and smiles a little. She brings up the design and shrugs, "Art?" She giggles a little. "I enjoy being creative. Music is my strong suit but I can do a little bit of normal art with the help of a computer." She brings up photoshop and the image of an aircraft appears. It has two traditional wings, The elevator wings and the rudder as well. Then there is another set of wings. With some bizarre engines on them. They are close to the plane as well. "Okay the prototype is small. A two seat aircraft with sub-orbital capability." She smiles over that.

Then it's back to the school factors. "Less then a month now. The 23nd of May. I am the Valedictorian. I managed to fight off senioritis for about a week longer then the other person in the running. Go figure. Anyway I have to give a speach. Also ummm... I may have bumped into a small problem."

Star Sapphire has posed:
Star Sapphire nods slowly. "Alright..." she muses softly. "Honestly, I'm glad I found you. Oh, what's your problem? You do seem to be a toruble magnet." Star's aura is brighter today, and shimmering a bit.

Star Shimmer has posed:
Autumn Stillwater sighs, "I was in the park busking and got a visit from the mob. They take payoffs and they keep the more violent elements out. They are a lesser evil if you will. Anyway it turns out the things I have been doing lately. With the guys at the store and then Two-Face... Apparently a few gangs are putting pressure on them and they want me out of Gotham. They gave me 1 month. If I don't get out they said they will be paying a visit to my family, my friends, and me."

Star Sapphire has posed:
Star Sapphire nods. "That's easy enough. If they mention it again, tell them the day after you graduate high school you will be moving to Metropolis." She smiles. "For if you're interested, I need talents like yours. Tell me, how detailed is your airplane model?" she asks.

Star Shimmer has posed:
Autumn Stillwater smiles, "That's what I told them. I also told them I won't stay away. My family lives here. But I will be going." With that she brings up the image of the plane again. "The two main engines are mounted here on the wings. They are a bit strong for a plane of this size but there is a reason for that. This plane is going to be able to break atmo to a small degree. The thrust should push it into the upper atmosphere. Then There are a pair of liquid fuel engines which can take over once the plane crosses into Space. It will not be going real far from the planet but it should make travel faster.

Star Sapphire has posed:
Star Sapphire raises an eyebrow. "So it's, in a way, a rocket." She ponders. "Tell me... would you like to see if it works in reality?" she asks. "My ring can create extremely realistic constructs, especially of things I love - and there's nothing I love more than aircraft... well... with one exception." She smiles. "Rumor has it that my sweetie might be coming home soon."

Star Shimmer has posed:
Autumn Stillwater smiles a little over that. "Cool!" She states over the fact that her loved one might be coming home. There is a big grin on her face. She may not have a ring but she definitely is glowing over that.

Then it's back to the aircraft. "Well, Partially. The two engines closest to the body are actually rocket engines. They would allow for enough propulsion to move space to a degree. This would not be an orbital craft. Though it would have enough fuel to give it a sub orbital pattern. So it could essentially skip through space. Imagine increasing the size of the prototype? Making this vessel a passanger vessel? It would not only shorten travel times but also make a lot of dreams come true. After all how many people would LOVE to go into space but will never get to?" She then smirks a little. "Oh that would be cool!

Star Sapphire has posed:
Star Sapphire nods. "Do you have time to take a little flight?" she asks. "You know, I can see you becoming vice president of engineering one day in Ferris Air." She points her ring at the screen with teh prototype and the ring shoots a beam of light engulfing the screen. "Download complete." sounds her ring in that heavily-accented voice.

Star Shimmer has posed:
Autumn Stillwater smiles a little. "Me?! Take a flight?!" Her eyes light up bright. "I would love to! The only time I've gotten to go flying was when you took me to the motel after my dad..." She trails off not wanting to think about that for now. "I wasn't in any state to think about it. I really want to fly!" She beams. Then there is that. "Me? VP of Engineering? That would be awesome. Someday though, I think that would be awesome."

Star Sapphire has posed:
Star Sapphire smiles. "That's down the road- you'll need at least a Masters' degree." She smiles. "Let's go to the roof..." she muses. "I'll create your airplane in a construct with suitable propulsion to match your model." With that, she floats out the window and ascends.

Star Shimmer has posed:
The girl smiles and shrugs. "No problem! Its not Like everything will change overnight right?" She giggles a little. "Everything takes time but, its a journey! A journey can be as much fun as anything else right?" As Star Sapphire goes up to the roof, She slips out the window and climbs up the fire escape. "Its a nice evening!"

Star Sapphire has posed:
Star Sapphire nods as she is working, as your plane is taking shape on the roof. Star is focusing intently on creating the construct. It's made of violet light, but it's your design coming to life before your eyes. She glances at you and winks before returning to the work, as it continues to form. "It was a very intricate schematic... I'm impressed," she murmurs.

Star Shimmer has posed:
Autumn Stillwater blushes a little at the compliment. She watches as the aircraft comes together. It is definitely sharp looking having nice lines and all the proper angles needed to achieve flight. She's been studying. She put in a lot of thought with it, That is clear.

Star Sapphire has posed:
Star Sapphire glances. "Tell me - how long have you worked on this, and have you had any prior expereince?" she asks. "Are you telling me that you ddint' start working onthis till after we met? If so... wow..."

Star Shimmer has posed:
Autumn Stillwater shrugs, "Well The basic design started on a video game a few years ago. Its something I just thought looked cool. The finer points like the actual measurements and the proper equations didn't come into play until you gave me the information about how it's supposed to work and the stuff I've been studying. Then I met a guy the other day who suggested designing an Omni-craft that could go into outter space! So I started tweaking the design!"

Star Sapphire has posed:
Star Sapphire nods as she snaps her head, as a flight helmet forms by you. "Well, all aboard," she muses as she climbs into the cockpit's front seat. "I know it is just made of light but... Lantern constructs are quite... remarkable."

Star Shimmer has posed:
Autumn Stillwater shrugs and puts the helmet on. She smiles a little and climbs up into the light construct aircraft. She takes a seat in what would be the co-pilot's seat. She looks at it and just smiles bright. "Wow! I've never thought I would sit in anything like this. I mean It's a plane that I designed! It's amazing!"

Star Sapphire has posed:
Star Sapphire nods as the plane takes off, on a construct runway nonetheless as she zooms the plane up. "Mmmmmm.... it's pertty fast but seems a bit sluggish - let's not test the rocket engines, they're harder to emulate."

Star Shimmer has posed:
Autumn Stillwater blinks a few times as she is riding along. Part of her wants to just enjoy the ride. The other part of her is all thoughts. "I think maybe the rudder needs to be a little larger. Maybe it needs better fuel relays and such. The rocket set up may need adjusted too if that is the case." She smiles though. "Wow!" She states in wonder as the plane soars through the sky.

Star Sapphire has posed:
Star Sapphire nods. "I won't mess with this design - this is your baby. You alter it as you see fit. But... one day... once it's perfected... we'll get Hal to do a test flight of it. Hal Jordan is my senior test pilot - it's his job to try to crash planes all day." Her aura (and the very plane) glow just a bit brighter when she siad his name. Perhaps a 'tell'.

Star Shimmer has posed:
Autumn Stillwater giggles, "Sounds like a fun job!" She giggles a little bit more. When the the construct lights up a little brighter, she snickers a little. "So is this before or after you fell for him? I mean, you clearly have!" She giggles playfully.

Star Sapphire has posed:
Star Sapphire shrugs. "Indeed... it happened while we got to know each other better." She sighs softly. "There are some things I can't tell you yet, Autumn. I shouldn've have told you who I am... but you needed to know." She ponders. "How is your mom doing?" she asks as she is still flying along.

Star Shimmer has posed:
Autumn Stillwater smiles, "My mom is doing alright." She sighs a little. "You know I've not told anyone and I never will. You trusted me with a secret, I've kept it as promised I would." She smiles brightly. "I should talk to my mom again and explain that I will be moving soon. It's sad but... yeah I want her to know that I'm going for a job."

Star Sapphire has posed:
Star Sapphire nods. "That's a good idea..." she muses softly, clicking her tongue. "So... what do you think of your design?" she asks as she banks the plane around to return to where they originated from.

Star Shimmer has posed:
Autumn Stillwater smiles, "I think she might need a name!" She giggles. "I dunno, maybe call it the Rose?" She smiles a little. "I dunno I mean most bird names are already taken right?"
