OOM/IM: Chirrut, Take the Wheel
Jun. 24th, 2017 12:51 amBaze knows he shouldn't let Chirrut do it. It's a stupid idea.
Baze knows he shouldn't, and he's gonna let him do it anyway.
The two Jedhans have managed to maneuver a monster truck from the garage to the outside. It's the middle of the night, so--as Baze prays to the Force--they shouldn't hit anyone. Ibani is out and about, ready to provide healing should they strike any small animals or people.
Because Chirrut is going to drive.
Baze describes the brake and gas pedals--but especially the brake--and places Chirrut's hands on the wheel at ten and two. The larger man talks about gear shafts, and tire friction--which is something they're not used to--and how the engine works, courtesy of his research. He paints a picture of the muddy and blessedly empty terrain and pays particularly close attention to any trees in the distance.
And then he holds onto his seatbelt for dear unlife.
