Voice testing, whyyyy did I make this journal omg

[reckless_wingman]

About time you finally decided to take me out for a spin. Sure, I'm always up for a little fun, but another homeless muse is the last thing you need.

You can't say I didn't tell you this is a bad idea. Just try not to crash and burn here, all right?

[expartner]

Sometimes bad ideas are the best ideas.

[reckless_wingman]

I couldn't agree more.

[Maverick is practically the king of terrible decisions.]

[expartner]

I'm quite familiar with bad decisions, especially when they're good-looking ones.

[reckless_wingman]

[He grins, giving a small nod.]

Those are usually the best ones.

[expartner]

[She chuckles and reaches out a well-manicured hand.]

Alicia Florrick. It's nice to meet you.

[reckless_wingman]

I'm Maverick.

[He takes her hand, and like a good gentleman, he briefly bends to give it a polite kiss.]

[expartner]

[That earns him a smile. Alicia can appreciate that.]

So are you plotting a bad idea of your own, or are you the bad idea?

[reckless_wingman]

I would be a very, very bad idea.

[expartner]

Now I'm curious. What makes you say that?

[reckless_wingman]

I'm a navy pilot. Dangerous work, lots of travel... I don't usually stick around for too long.

[expartner]

Sounds exciting.

[A small smile.]

I didn't intend to stick around either and I got roped into it.

because you are awesome omg

[jessiesgotagun]

They're known for that sort of thing, unfortunately. As well as not thinking before they act.

Something tells me you can relate, cowboy.

I hope so 8D;

[reckless_wingman]

I might know a thing or two about that. Wouldn't say they were all bad ideas, though.

believe it. you win...all the things.

[jessiesgotagun]

Me neither. Never know when one of those "bad ideas" might pay off, right?

yayyyy

[reckless_wingman]

They're usually worth the risk. I'm not really the type who gives up too easily.

[jessiesgotagun]

A real go-getter, huh?

I'm Jessie, by the way.

[reckless_wingman]

Name's Maverick.

So, Jessie, how'd I get lucky enough to run into you here?

[jessiesgotagun]

Maverick? [ Oh, but she had to grin. ] That your name or your occupation?

[ But to answer the question--and please excuse the midwest drawl-- ] Well, you might say I'm kinda like one of those pennies: I just show up when you least expect it.

[reckless_wingman]

It's my call sign. I'm a pilot.

[He grins back. It's a reaction he's used to getting, but still, most people call him by that name.]

And I guess that explains it. They say pennies are supposed to bring luck.

[jessiesgotagun]

Ahh. [ That explained a lot. ] Navy brat? [ She'd known a few soldiers in her days. Good lads, those.]

Well, we'll see, I reckon. Who knows, [ she winked. ] I just might.

[reckless_wingman]

Navy, yes. Not so sure about the "brat" part.

[Though, he does act like it sometimes.]

[jessiesgotagun]

Impressive.

So. Maverick. Tell me somethin'; what's it like, being a pilot? [ Adrenaline junikes apparently came in all flavors. ] They say it's a helluva thrill ride.

[reckless_wingman]

Depends on the pilot. You get the ones that are strictly by-the-book, but me... I like to keep things interesting.

[jessiesgotagun]

Annnd, what's your definition of 'interesting'?

[reckless_wingman]

Most of the details are classified, but I will tell you it involved giving the bird to an enemy craft.

[jessiesgotagun]

Really. [ She snickered. ] I gather the poor thing didn't take it well?
