I DO NOT BLAME ANYONE FOR NOT WANTING TO FLY WITH HER AGAIN

[reapsthewind]

It takes her a minute to recover. It's one thing to go through training manuals and even to go into stalls to prepare for this kind of thing, another to actually experience it.

"Everyone brace yourselves. I'm going to see if I can't at least restore manual control of the flight surfaces so we can at least not go into a fucking death spiral. Uh, you --" she says, indicating whoever is sitting shotgun.

"We're gonna trade places to see if your flight controls are working still."

She starts to climb over the seat, then seems to go completely pale. Those creepy eyes of hers? Behind her sunglasses, they start glowing brightly enough that they can be seen clearly.

Meanwhile, the plane very abruptly starts righting itself... probably because something in the plane has gotten much heavier and shifted the weight a bit. WONDER WHAT IT COULD BE. Person in shotgun, how could someone so small be so heavy? It is a mystery.

Emmanuel is, well--he hasn't said a word. Mostly he's just looking tense and just as pale as Chris, gripping the edge of one of the seats for support. He's thinking of the little manuals they give out with instructions for emergencies on commercial flights, and how utterly useless any of that information is here.

At least Chris seems to have another idea, which is good, but then she stops, and--

"Chris--what's wrong? Well, of course, everything's wrong, but--" Oh God. Okay, there's the adrenaline. Think! All he has is a backpack with first aid equipment, not even his knife--not that it would be any help here. He reaches for her shoulder, stumbling slightly thanks to the angle of the plane.
