Stukov shook his head in a combination of amusement and wonder at the insistence that Smiles seemed to have in throwing him clear across the plaza, but that might have had a reason in the fact he had unknowingly insulted the whole teleportation thing. Thankfully, considering how obvious and rather noticeable form a flying, most likely angry at that point, human would be, she did indeed opt against doing so and instead went with the typical means of travel they had gone through with before. Before he had a chance to get a word in edgewise, however, she had a hand on his coat again and they once again hit the warp with the intent of only moving a few hundred feet. Nothing should have possibly gone wrong with that, right?

Of course, something seemed off as Stukov kept getting pulled in all directions, it felt like, far longer than normal as he started gyrating before he even left the warp. The armsman managed off a string of curses before being spat out into realspace, but he was not on the ground. He was [i]still[/i] spinning around though as he managed to catch sight of Smiles, Boss and Watchman below him. Great, now he was ten feet off target instead of where he needed to be. That thought didn't really last long as the spinning cut out, but what was holding him up also managed to vanish right at the same time. This was going to hurt, was about all the time Stukov had to consciously think before gravity snagged him properly and threw him directly at the ground. Training did kick in and he tried to get his legs under him, to let them soak up some impact and roll into the impact.

Alas, there was not really enough space for that, and moving in an atmosphere affected by gravity was far different than zero g and no atmosphere. With a hard, very solid thump Stukov hit the ground with a pained grunt. Rebreather mask prevented damage to the face, beyond the red lines that were probably imprinted from where the mask sat, while he suspected there were fair amounts of internal bruising, nothing felt broken thankfully. The armsman groaned as he forced himself off the ground, picking himself up and brushing off his attire before looking at the assembled band that had arrived so far. Boss, obviously, Watchman seemed to beat the two of them here on foot, not surprising considering the side trips they took, and Smiles also came out of the teleport first. That was not terribly surprising, she was the controlling person after all. Perhaps she lost her grip, or the warp was just being itself. It was probably appropriate to say something at this particular moment, however. [color=9e0b0f]"Wasn't intending to drop in unannounced, but here I am finally. Appreciate the advice on bracing, Smiles."[/color]
