[there's the sound of mild swearing before his face shows up]

All right I want answers and I want 'em now. Who the #@*&^$!* hell took me from my goddamn airship and dumped in this god forsaken snow field without a goddamn #@*&^$!* jacket?!

If you did anythin' to the Shera I'm gonna #*@(*&#*@& @*(!*&$!@&^* your ass and @#*#&!!@*#&$^% @*&^#*$!@*&--[and more swearing. use imagination]

[note: the #@$^ symbols indicate he's swearing like a mofo 8D BUT because of a Dreamberry glitch it all just comes out as censored bleeps. Have fun with that 8D]

Rewind back to the airship part.

[smokesinspace.livejournal.com]

You deaf? I said it's #@*&^$!* gone and I wanna know where it is!

[circusmisfit.livejournal.com]

Seems difficult to lose an airship.

Chances are you left it back home.

[smokesinspace.livejournal.com]

Why the #@*&^$!* hell would I leave it back home?!

[circusmisfit.livejournal.com]

Never said you left it intentionally.

[smokesinspace.livejournal.com]

So yer sayin' I was abducted.

[circusmisfit.livejournal.com]

Essentially.

[smokesinspace.livejournal.com]

[irritated grumble] Just spit it out, kid, there ain't no point in gettin' wishy washy. I just want a straight answer, dammit!

[breeeathe]

Is that how everyone gets here?

[circusmisfit.livejournal.com]

You realize it's hard to give a straight answer when I'm not sure of the mechanics of how it works.

But yeah, I imagine that's it. No one seems to have come of their own free will. Can't leave either.

[smokesinspace.livejournal.com]

Then keep it simple. I don't need some fancy, scientific explanation. Just say what's important, that's all I need.

Great. Just fan#@*&^$!*tastic. Right when I was in the middle of working on the Shera, dammit! They better not screw anything up while I'm gone, *&#@.

[circusmisfit.livejournal.com]

[... staring for a while. what a simpleton]

Right. Now tell me what this 'Shera' is.

[smokesinspace.livejournal.com]

[he prefers it nice and simple thanks :|b but his mood will be lightening A BIT. airship talk always makes him feel better 8D]

It's my airship. One of 'em anyway. Was doing regular maintenance on it and stayed up overlookin' some new designs when I conked out. [and back to being sour] And then woke up here.

[raises a brow] Ya even know what an airship is?

[circusmisfit.livejournal.com]

[and now being very attentive at the talk of an airship]

Yeah. Circus used them and I'd been meaning to look into the mechanics of the thing. They were pretty convenient for simultaneous housing and traveling.

[smokesinspace.livejournal.com]

Circus? [snorts] Ya don't use airships for a damn circus! Damn waste of a good airship.

Travelin' and for fightin', that's what we use 'em for. 'Course I made the first one. This place got any?

[circusmisfit.livejournal.com]

Complicated. But you don't need some fancy explanation, right?

Not as of yet. You planning something?

[smokesinspace.livejournal.com]

[just grunts at that]

What the hell kinna world is this? T'ch, looks like I'll be workin' on somethin' at least. This Somarium world is gonna get its first airship, and it'll be made by me!

[circusmisfit.livejournal.com]

Yeah? We'll see how that goes.

[... and because he's bored and has nothing to work on...]

What're the chances that you'll need a hand with it?

[smokesinspace.livejournal.com]

I'm good but I ain't that good. Gonna need a crew. [eying you :|]

Whaddya know about machinery and do ya know anyone else around here?

[circusmisfit.livejournal.com]

I know enough to both build and rig things. I'm willing to lend a hand.

As for anyone else... [his usual partner-in-crime comes to mind, but...] You got a policy on magic? Specifically fireballs in the workspace?

[smokesinspace.livejournal.com]

Guess I can't be picky here. [obviously not exactly ENTHUSIASTIC about the whole thing :|

and what. magic? frowns a bit] An airship ain't no place for this magic business! Gotta use yer hands and good ol' fashioned science and technology.

And I definitely don't want anyone screwin' around and destroyin' everythin' cos they can't control themselves! Jut tell 'em ta leave their materia home.

[circusmisfit.livejournal.com]

[after he hears that his help is accepted, he's not exactly paying strict attention]

Alright, got it.

... the hell is materia?

i will one day learn my icon keywords.

[smokesinspace.livejournal.com]

Materia! How else are they gonna use magic?

kudos, Lae

[circusmisfit.livejournal.com]

[... the exact term escapes him.]

Something-tia. There's supposed to be a science to it.

THEY BOTH HAD 'JUST' IN THEM OKAY.

[smokesinspace.livejournal.com]

A science? With magic? [snorts]

But the point is, it's different?
