Easy going music played from a record player for all to hear. Everyone was relaxed and moving to the beat as they worked. Aerrow was bopping his head along to the good music while helping Radaar with some of the technical workings of the ship. Junko was bouncing along as he stabalized the Condor. Stork was actually the most relaxed. His paranoia seemed to have dissolved as he lightly danced around the controls while humming the tune of the wordless song. Piper was looking at some maps while dancing on the balls of her feet; Kira just sat at the table staring into space.
Out of no where, there was the wretched sound of the needle scratching against the record, and a guitar echoed through the speaker. The heavy bass backdrop made everyone feel it within themselves.
"Uh Finn?" Piper asked in a slightly agitated tome of voice. "Whatcha' doing?"
"I'm putting on soem decent music." He replied. He had his air guitar going as he strummed along to the chords of the song.
"Well Finn, that was my favorite song." Piper retorted. The record player needle scratched against the vinyl as Piper switched it back to her song. The easy beat of Piper's light jazz styled music echoed throughout the room. It didn't take long for Finn to switch the record player over to his music again. "Finn! Cut it out! Besides, it's my turn." Piper switched it back to her song in a huff. She was getting more upset about the issue, but when Finn left the music alone, a smile returned to her face. Well, at least until Finn switched it over to his song again.
"Now, why would you want to listen to that when you could listen to the musical stylings of Finn?" Piper ripped the record out of the player and gave Finna a death glare. Kira came out of her daydream to look at the two quarelling Storm Hawks.
"Finn you are so childish!" Piper snapped. "You are inconsiderate, you don't care about others, and your music grates on my nerves!" The vinyl record was thrown like a frisbee only to be caught by someone. Her amethyst hair was cut short. Her body was thin and agile looking. Her eyes had a certain intensity.
"Problem with your record player?"
Piper gasped. "Starling! What are you doing here?" The woman known as Starling walked towards us all.
"I have a mission." She said. Her gaze drifted across the room before landing on me. "And who are you?"
"Starling, this is Kira." Aerrow said as he walked towards Starling and me. "She's a Storm Hawk like us."
"Really? That's interesting...what shills does she have?" Nobody really said anything.
"I can navigate fairly well, and I know a lot about crystals." I said.
"What other skills do you have?" Starling questioned. I got quiet.
"Nevermind that." Aerrow interrupted. "What's the mission? The Storm Hawks are here to help!"
"Acctually," Starling said in her accented voice. "I'm only going to need you, Aerrow." The younger sky-knight looked shocked for a split second, but a serious face took its place.
"I'll still want the Condor nearby just in case." Starling quickly nodded in agreement. Aerrow then turned to us. "Alright everyone, I want you on tactical alert." he said. "Piper, you're in charge." Finn let out a groan.
"Man! How come Piper's always in charge?!" Finn whined. "When is it going to be my turn?"
"Well Finn," Aerrow started. "Piper has had more experience and..."
"Finn can do it." Piper stated lightly. Aerrow looked at Piper almost as if she were crazy. "How else can he gain experience?"
"Alright then." Aerrow said. "Finn's in charge." Aerrow looked over at Starling. "So what are we doing?"
"I'll tell you on the way." Starling said as she turned to leave. "Let's go." Aerrow nodded and then followed after Starling, and we were all left to the mercy of Finn.
