Default Bhuvana and William! Deacon!(separate TLs to Deacon)

Excellent! Fantastic! Achilles saw two newcomers arrive to his station and he was positively happy about that. More people to lure into the fun of magic carpets. Because they were fun in every single way. And they just needed to know so.

What was that, though? Did his ears deceive him? That lady was not in line? This was the perfect opportunity for her to try out the carpets in a safe and controlled environment, and relish in it as much as he could. Well, Achilles would just have to make that lady test it out.

He walked to the two newcomers, waited a few seconds, hoping he wasn't interrupting their conversation, then said, "Not in line? But m'am, have you ever ridden a flying carpet? This is a rare chance. I advise you take it as much as you can. Nothing will happen to you at all, I promise. It seems daunting at first, I know. But just imagine that wind flowing past you, the rush, the feeling. " Oh yeah, Achilles was trying to sweeten up his talk as much as he could. "Give it a try. 'Sides if it doesn't work out you could tell your friends that at the very least you've ridden a flying carpet. And what have they done to amount to a thrill like that?"

It may be a controlled environment but still his words were all true. He then turned to the man, and, even giving the coordinator, who was a few feet away, a salute, said "Sir, why don't you grab a carpet yourself? Give it a run." He had nothing to lose. Achilles would just be supervising the activity.


SPOILER!!: Deacon
Sweeeet, didn't even have to wait that long enough to whistle for someone over.. Not that he ever would or needed to. Wasn't his style.

Pssh, the man was totally trying to be professional. He didn't need to ask Deacon if he wanted to, he was all gaame. But he was a nice guy, so he would play along. The incoming crowd needed an example after all. Yeah, I'd like to get on one of these beauties." Nudging his head at the beautiful carpets. He didn't need to have a drop of taste to know the work was remarkable. "Now how high can I go on these?" Cause obviously the sky wasn't just the limit here.


Yes! Wonderful. First test rider coming right up. Achilles smiled at the man, excused himself for a few, went back to his station and grabbed himself a carpet and soon returned to the man. "This shall work with you just fine, sir." And he carefully held out the carpet to him. Ah, the inevitable question was, of course, what were the limits to flying this. Achilles nodded then simply said "No more than ten feet, unfortunately. We don't want any catastrophes to happen here. Just don't swerve too quickly or abruptly or else we may be in some trouble. Stick to that and you should do well."

Go on, give it a try!
