[muttering under his breath something like "Can't believe I gotta do this" or something like that. anyway, those who happen to see this broadcast will have a grand view of a rather grumpy Cid what else is new standing in what looks to be a giant warehouse. there's some mechanic noise in the background, but for the most part whatever he says can be heard clearly.
behind Cid, one may notice four motorcycle-like vehicles. however, there will be something rather distinctive about them: 1) they have now wheels, and 2) they're hovering off the ground. ladies and gents of Somarium, Cid brings you the new line of transportation technology: hovercycles! hover motorcycles! ...something like that, they have an official name.]
Since I can't have Kara do all the work, and I gotta make sure everythin's workin' from the ground, I'll take whoever the hell wants to try one of these babies. They're called SkyRunners, and if ya break it, expect a spear shoved up yer ass, so better know what yer doin'.
While I'm at it, since my crew's been cut by over half [mutters something about stupid Somarium and disappearances and lousy dummy crews (referencing the NPCs)] if anyone knows jack about anything mechanic, especially anythin' about flyin', talk ta me. I got an airship that's almost finished but it ain't gonna run on its own.
[have a brief view of that something that was poking in view before. that would be a very, very large still unfinished airship. The outside frame is completed, and cranes and scaffolding are all over the place, but it's obvious that while almost complete, it's still a work in progress.just wait until the test flight.]
She's a beaut' ain't she? S'called The Dreamcatcher. Ain't as great as the Shera, but it'll do. I'm guessin' we can get this done within the next month, but wouldn't mind some extra hands on deck. Still don't know if this thing can fly, but we got some good small-scale test runs.
[ooc: those unfamiliar with airships of the Final Fantasy brand, the one he has is a much smaller version of the Shera, and probably looks more like a hybrid with the Highwindand yes he totally has that chick somewhere painted on/in there. it just wouldn't be right with out it. it's still about as big as a standard plane, possibly slightly bigger. he had limited tools to work with okay >_> but he's been at this for pretty much his whole almost-year stay in Somarium.
anyone's free to respond o/anyone want to actually design either of these things?]

More than "cool" kid. Ya'd think with all their grand technology, this place woulda had some kind of plane or helicopter around.
no subject
Shinra just hasn't gotten around to buying out this place yet, that's all.
no subject
[snort] Better if they didn't. Messed up with the whole Mako and Lifestream business, hate ta see what they'd do with this newfangled Dream Energy.
no subject
Yeah, I know. They'd probably try and hire you and your knowledge, too.
I'm Zack, by the way. Zack Fair. And...you're Cid, right?
no subject
Cid Highwind.
no subject
Did you scare 'em off or somethin'?
Nice to meetchya. Cloud's told me about you.
no subject
That spikey-haired brat? [snorts] Oh yeah, I bet he told you I'm a real peach. [sarcasm is quite heavy.]
no subject
The one and only, unless you mean me. But nah, he likes ya.
no subject
So that's where he got his hair from. Great influence you were. [snort] Eh, he's all right. Still can't keep that nose out of trouble.
no subject
His hair's always been that crazy. But the trouble? He may have gotten that from me.
no subject
Great influence you were.

You, Troublemaker One, and then Cloud, Troublemaker Two.
[he swears if he and Cloud team up for another Great Tea War, he's going to keelhaul the both of you]
