Late Morning 3/5
[Retrospec]
[The post is by one Lily, their icon simply a picture of a red dragon lady crinum.]
Ok so
The good news is I didn't turn into an ant
Actually I have wings now?? They just kind of popped out of nowhere.
So does anyone have tips for flying/not knocking everything over trying to walk around the house? I don't want to have to buy more monitors...
[Action - Park, Evening]
[And, once it's darker out, a small figure heads out to the park wrapped up in a warm coat and a beanie over her long hair - long purple hair, though with the dark, it may be more difficult to catch the glint of color.
Casting a glance around to make sure no one's around (that she can see), Yuuki takes a breath and stretches, a pair of wings appearing from her back - and yet, mysteriously, outside of her clothes. Sparkles glimmer faintly in the air, but they disappear quickly as they're shed from the transluscent wings.]
Oookay. How do you do this?

[Yuuki's not completely wrong about her arms having an affect on her spinning.]
Arms out straight! It'll help balance you and slow your rotation.
[She knows a fair bit about spinning after all.]
no subject
O-okay... Is there anything else I should do next time?
no subject
[Li-Na makes an 'IDK' gesture from the ground.]
This might require a little more research. I mean... how do birds or planes turn when they fly?
[she really only cares about physics when it applies to dancing...]
no subject
[She seems about to reach for a pocket - velcro'd shut - before she thinks better of it.]
Can you look it up on your phone?
[She's not sure she can keep her focus on two things at once, and handling something as fragile as a phone seems like a bad idea.]
no subject
Let's see... might as well start with birds. That will probably be most similar to your wings...
[After perusing a few results, she makes a slightly frustrated noise]
They all say different things. One says birds twist their wing tips left or right. Another says they use their tails, which doesn't really help you any. And another says they stroke harder with one wing than the other.
no subject
[Thanks for nothing, Internet. After a moment to psyche herself up, she'll try the twisting movement-
and successfully turns 90 degrees!]
Whoa!
no subject
[no matter what it wants us to think, the internet doesn't know everything]
Ah! That worked!
[Li-Na claps her hands]
Which one did you try? The rowing or the twisting?
[it's a little hard to see those kind of wing movements]
no subject
[And she allows her wing beats to slow, bringing her to a soft landing. Let's just take a break from the air real quick while she gathers herself and their ideas again.]
no subject
[Li-Na waits as Yuuki comes back to the ground]
That was great! You'll get the hang of flying in no time.
