[Faye can't remember much about her life, but planes are nothing new. She's been shopping, so she's not without her own collection of entertaining technology... which means she can ignore you that much easier.

But don't let that stop you.]

[burnsbright]

[Scout spends a chunk of the flight time in the cockpit, studying the controls and matching them against the ones she's studied, watching any pilot work with as much focus as she can muster. ...Which is a lot, even if she looks at her phone and enters stuff into it regularly.]

[Otherwise she's inclined to consulting her phone notes, doing restless stretching exercises, or meditating with her back against a wall, her hands together in loose fists with the knuckles touching, controlling her anxiety about this whole thing.]

[asap]

[Andie hatehatehates airplane rides. Too damn slow. But she's managing by getting really involved in a movie. Which is also too damn slow, but at least it's an action flick so there's a lot happening at any given time. She's watching it at x2 speed because that's the fastest she can make it go without the words going away.]

[wildmind]

What's wrong with the TV?

[asap]

Huh? [Andie pauses and looks up, popping one earbud out.] What do you mean what's wrong?

[wildmind]

[ she points to the screen ] Someone's sitting on the fast forward button.

[asap]

Oh, it's just easier for me to watch that way.

[wildmind]

Your mind actually processes things faster?

[asap]

I everything faster. So yeah.

[wildmind]

Everything, hmm? [ smirk ]

[asap]

Yep! Well, within reason. I mean there are some things that I just have to slow down for and it's annoying.

[wildmind]

I suppose it's no stranger than living with other types of powers. It just takes some adjusting.

[asap]

Yeah, exactly! And I've been adjusting all my life, so kinda used to it.

[wildmind]

So how do you manage tasks that involve working slowly?

[asap]

Dad taught me some meditative techniques. It's not easy, but I can manage. It's how I can talk to you right now.

[wildmind]

I imagine no one ever dared give you any sugar as a child.

[asap]

Actually, they had to give me lots. I mean complex carbohydrates and proteins are better, but... [She shrugs.] My metabolism's way fast too. I burn through calories like that. [She snaps.]

[wildmind]

Well, I certainly hope we've budgeted for enough food on this trip.

[asap]

Me too! [Andie hadn't been worried, but now she's thinking about it.] But Wynn knows how much people in my family eat so probably?

[wildmind]

I take it that means the Knighthood runs in your family?

He's been here the whole time, really...

[notafraidofthedark]

[Riddick enters the body of the plane about 4 hours after take off, casually walking towards the back row of seats. He doesn't offer an explanation as to where he had been or what he has been up to the past 4 hours, just takes his seat and casually leans back to enjoy the rest of the flight.

His goggles make it impossible to determine whether or not he is sleeping or actively watching any of the other interactions happening on the flight, nor does he really seem to care.]

[wildmind]

[ nessa looks across the aisle at him, arching a brow. she observes him silently for a good five minutes before saying: ]

It must be a nice way to keep people out.

[lightblindbadass]

[He'd felt her eyes on him and had been waiting for her to ask what he had been doing. Her statement wasn't exactly what he had been expecting though it was one of the more frequently questioned things about him. Too bad it was hard to make welding goggles look more inconspicuous.]

"Hmm," [is the rumbled response she gets in return, his acknowledgement that her assumption was correct.]

[wildmind]

Some people these days use headphones.

[asap]

[It's not long before Andie flits over to hang out, plopping down in a seat next to him.]

Look at us, full-blown knights on a mission.
