Brick Nic

EPISODE 6: “Inflight Chaos & a Very Rude Awakening”

With takeoff complete and her legend status firmly established, Brick Nic settled into what she assumed would be a calm, luxurious inflight experience.
She was wrong.

Inflight Life — Opinions Were Had
Once the seatbelt sign switched off, Brick Nic immediately stood up stretched dramatically and announced she would be “having a wander.”
We explained — again — that wandering at 37,000 feet is limited.
She accepted this, sat back down, and turned her attention to the window, pressing her face against it like a child seeing clouds for the first time.
“Look at them all,” she whispered.
“So fluffy. So dramatic. Just like me.”
She spent a solid amount of time critiquing cloud shapes, deciding which ones looked the most Instagram‑worthy.

At one point, during mild turbulence, she clutched her armrest and said:
“THIS wasn’t covered in the safety card.”

The Long‑Haul Realisation
Somewhere over the ocean, reality finally set in.
She slouched in her seat, headphones crooked, eyes half‑closed, suitcase wedged awkwardly under the seat.
“This is a very long way,” she muttered.
We gently asked if she was okay.
She sighed.
“I’ll survive. I always do.”
And then promptly fell asleep mid‑sentence.

Arrival Announced — Excitement Levels Resume
Eventually, the lights came on and the announcement rang out:
“We are beginning our descent.”
Brick Nic sprang awake instantly.
“We’re HERE? Already? I’m READY.”

She re‑packed her bag (despite not unpacking), smoothed her hair, checked her reflection in a dark window, and announced she would “step out refreshed.”
Bold claim.

Touchdown: Welcome to Bangkok
And then… the doors opened.
Brick Nic stepped off the plane.
Paused.
Froze.
Her smile slipped.
Her shoulders sagged.
She looked up at us slowly, sweat already forming, the air thick, warm, and unapologetically humid.
She blinked.
Once.
Twice.
And then said, very clearly:
“…This is NOT Iceland.”

Stay tuned!

Step 5: The Safety Card Obsession

Before we could blink, Brick Nic had the safety instruction card in her hands.
She studied it like she was preparing for an exam.
We asked if she was okay.
She said, without looking up,
“This is RIVETING.”
She then pointed at one of the diagrams.
“I could do that. I could totally open an emergency exit door.”
Absolutely not, Brick Nic.
Please don’t try.

Step 6: Inflight Snack Expectations

As we prepared for takeoff, she leaned toward us and whispered:
“I hope they have caviar.”
We explained they do not.
She gasped so loudly the person in the row ahead turned around.
“What kind of establishment is this?”
Nic.
It’s a plane.
Later, as the snack trolley rolled past, she sat bolt upright and declared:
“My time has come.”
She accepted her tiny biscuit packet like it was a Michelin-star meal.

Step 7: Takeoff — Maximum Drama

As the plane sped down the runway, Brick Nic grabbed the armrest with both hands and shouted:
“I CAN FEEL MY SOUL ASCENDING.”
Pretty sure she scared the poor guy across the aisle.
The moment the plane lifted, she whispered:
“I’m flying…
I’M A LEGEND.”
Honestly?
We can’t argue with that.

Brick Nic is now:
*Buckled in
*Snack-approved
*Safety‑card certified
*Emotionally ready for her trip
*Probably going to demand a window seat next flight

EPISODE 5: “Boarding Time: Brick Nic Takes Flight” - Part 1

After conquering bag drop, dramatically surviving security, and declaring herself emotionally exhausted in the boarding lounge, Brick Nic was more than ready for her next big milestone:
Getting on the actual plane.
And wow… she had some thoughts.

Step 1: The Boarding Queue — V.I.P. Energy Only

When they called our group to board, Brick Nic leapt to her feet like she’d just won a competition.
She strutted into the queue with the attitude of someone who fully believes she deserves priority boarding.
We gently reminded her: “Brick Nic… we’re economy.”
She didn’t even blink. “Economy for you, maybe.”
This girl.

Step 2: Boarding Pass Drama (Of Course There Was Drama)

At the gate, she handed over her tiny ticket and gave the staff member her signature Brick Nic smile — the one that says:
“You’re lucky to have me on this flight.”
She then leaned in and whispered,
“If there are any upgrades available, I am emotionally prepared to accept.”
The staff member laughed.
Nic took this as a sign she was being considered.
She was not.

Step 3: Finding Her Seat — A Spiritual Journey

Brick Nic took one look down the aisle, gasped, and clutched her suitcase like a soap opera heroine.
“So MANY seats,” she whispered.
We pointed out the row number.
She nodded.
Turned the wrong direction.
Walked three rows too far.
Turned back.
Announced confidently:
“I was testing the feng shui.”
Sure you were, Nic.
When she finally found our row, she stared at her seat with awe, like she was meeting a celebrity.

Step 4: Seatbelt vs. Brick Nic — A Battle for the Ages

She climbed into her seat and immediately began wrestling the seatbelt like it was a wild animal.
First she sat on it.
Then she tried to clip the wrong end.
Then she tried to buckle her suitcase instead of herself.
But once she finally figured it out, she looked around proudly, hands raised like she’d just solved a major engineering problem.
“This is extremely advanced technology,” she said solemnly.

EPISODE 4: “Security Shenanigans: Brick Nic Takes On the Airport”

Today was the big test.
The moment Brick Nic has been training for.
The true rite of passage for any seasoned traveller:
*Bag drop
*Airport security
*Not embarrassing us (Spoiler: she failed the last one almost immediately.)

Step 1: Bag Check — Confidence Level: 100/10
When we arrived at the bag drop, Brick Nic marched straight up to the counter like she owned the place.
She slammed her suitcase onto the belt (well… gently placed it, because physics) and flashed her best “I travel business class” smile.
The airport staff member greeted her warmly. Brick Nic responded with a grand announcement:
“Yes, I’m checking in my luggage. I trust you’ll treat it with the utmost importance.”
She then handed over her ticket like she was submitting a royal decree.
Honestly?
The confidence is unmatched.
We could never. And wish we were traveling first class.

Step 2: Security Screening — Disaster Level: Also 100/10
And then… it happened.
She stepped into the full‑body scanner smiling, suitcase in one hand, boarding pass in the other.
She held the pose like she was on the cover of Vogue: Travel Edition.
Everything was going smoothly until
BEEEEEP!
The screen lit up with the outline of a skeleton holding a pair of keys.
Her keys. Her forgotten in her pocket keys.
Nic looked at the display in complete betrayal.
“WHO PUT THOSE THERE?”
Ma’am.
It was you.
You put those there.
The security officer was very patient (and probably amused).
Brick Nic, however, launched into a detailed explanation of “hidden pockets,” “fashion emergencies,” and “systematic discrimination against small travellers.”
Once the keys were removed, she passed the second scan with flying colours.
Still glared at the machine on her way out though.

EPISODE 5 — Boarding the Plane, where Brick Nic discovers the seatbelt, reviews the safety card, and attempts to charm the flight crew.

EPISODE 3: “Passport Drama: The Great Identity Crisis”
We always knew this moment was coming.
But somehow… we were not emotionally prepared.
Today was passport photo day for Brick Nic — and if you’ve ever witnessed a 4‑cm‑tall minifigure have a full-blown identity crisis, you’ll understand the experience was… intense.
It started innocently enough.
We set up a tiny “photo booth” for her — clean background, good lighting, the works.
She strutted in with absolute confidence, chin up, hair perfect, ready to serve “international traveller realness.”
The first photo flashed.
She took one look and gasped so dramatically we thought she’d cracked her hinge.
“IS… THAT… MY FACE!?” she shrieked, clutching her tiny plastic cheeks like she was in a soap opera.
We gently reminded her that yes, that is in fact her face — the exact same one she’s had since manufacturing.
“No. No, no, no. The shine is all wrong. The angle is wrong. My expression is tragic. Delete it. Burn it. Bury it in the backyard.”
So we tried again.
And again.
And again.
She blamed:
the lighting
the camera
the universe
the fact that she was “caught off‑guard,” despite posing like a supermodel the entire time
and at one point, us, for “not capturing her essence”
At photo number five, she demanded a hair adjustment.
At photo number seven, she said her smile was “too friendly.”
At photo number ten, she declared her face “crooked.”
It isn’t.
It’s literally moulded.
Eventually — miraculously — we landed on a picture she approved of.
She stared at it for a long, thoughtful moment, then nodded and said, with deep seriousness:
“Yes. This is the face of a world traveller.”
We’re still not sure how this photo is different from the other nine, but she claims it’s a masterpiece.
Honestly?
She worked harder for this passport photo than some people do for their actual passports.
But it’s official:
Brick Nic is now document‑ready.
And if her confidence in this photo is anything to go by, she’s planning to waltz through customs like the VIP she knows she is.
Episode 4 coming soon — featuring Brick Nic charm at the security counter!

EPISODE 2: “We Said ONE Bag. She Heard… ALL the Bags.”
We tried to have a sensible conversation with her.
Really, we did.
“We’re only taking one bag each, Brick Nic,” we said, calmly, gently, like reasonable adults speaking to a reasonable… 4‑centimetre‑tall plastic adventurer.
She nodded. Smiled.
Said, “Of course. I understand completely.”
And then—
THEN—
we turned around for ten seconds and discovered that Brick Nic had assembled what can only be described as an entire airport luggage carousel.
We’re talking:
a suitcase,
a backup suitcase,
a backup for the backup,
two backpacks,
a duffle bag,
a suspiciously tiny handbag labelled “personal item,”
and one roller case that looked like it was designed for a week-long business trip to New York.
When we asked why she needed so many, she simply shrugged and said,
“Different activities require different vibes.”
We pointed to the stack.
“Brick Nic… we’re going to Iceland, not filming a fashion documentary.”
She didn’t blink.
“We could.”
And honestly?
With this level of commitment?
She’s not wrong.
The best part was when she tried to demonstrate how efficiently she could travel.
She hopped onto the smallest bag — the one she claimed would be her “main luggage” — and proudly proclaimed she could fit everything inside it.
…She absolutely could not.
Half her winter gear immediately toppled off the side like a Lego avalanche.
Her snorkel made another unexpected appearance.
And we’re pretty sure she tried to hide a second fancy dress under a scarf.
At this point, we’re convinced she believes the rules of physics — and airline baggage policies — simply do not apply to her.
But one thing’s for sure:
She’s taking this comeback VERY seriously.
Possibly too seriously.
Definitely too many bags seriously.
Stay tuned for Episode 3, where Brick Nic faces her greatest nemesis yet:
a passport photo she doesn’t hate.
