Fundamental Failure to Fly

WHO: Fracas and YOU! Yes, YOU!
WHERE: All over the Haven
WHEN: Over the course of the next week (7/8 to 7/13)
WHAT: Fracas is practicing flying... unfortunately he's not so good at it yet.
WARNINGS: n/a, to be updated as needed


Fracas had been a car since forever. No, really. It was what he had always been. Wheels were the way he got around; it was why he suggested the roads in the first place. His undercarriage was so sore from rocks and stray junk he had to do something. Besides walking, anyway.

Changing to the body of a flier has... been something of an adjustment.

Okay, it's been a lot of adjustment. One he's still not entirely there with. But practicing combat with Shockwave had helped his fighting abilities. So practicing flying will help with that. At least, he hopes so.

If only it didn't end with him crashing so much.

Wing flaps are more difficult to deal with than he'd expected. If not for those, he'd have the flying part down. The landing not so much. As it is, he's only got down the takeoff. But one out of three ain't bad, right?
... Right?

Beware, Haven. For this week, a certain now-teal Vehicon is going to be in the sky. And nobody will be safe from him unexpectedly dropping out of the sky. Not even if you're in a temple; he might just crash right through your wall, in fact. Hope you were planning some renovations!

Treads, admittedly, would have been preferable. Treads would have been something Shockwave could have assisted with quite easily, considering that he was a tank. Certainly he could assist with tips and likely diagrams and detailed lengthy explanations on how Fracas could fix his flying, he'd been a jet of sorts before a tank, but it wouldn't be the same as being able to assist him in the air. With how Fracas learned, that would be the better option, something he could not presently provide.

"You panic." Another statement. Not a foreign problem at the very least, something that even on the ground he might be able to help with. Fracas had panicked with fighting before he started training him, it was something that could be corrected.

They're going to have to work on that.
