[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]

A desert? [giving another look around and muttering to himself] S'almost like Midgard...

So this place got no planes or airships?

[phantomfenton.livejournal.com]

No, there's nothing but that--*Points up, presumably at the castle,*--Which no one can get into.

What's this airship-thing? Is it like a plane, or a rocket?

[smokesinspace.livejournal.com]

[that stupid floating castle thing :| well it looks like it would be useful bu...how is it floating? he's actually more interested in that part than the actual thing. it just better not be magic. anyway, he's gonna be lightening up a bit with the talk of planes :D]

Better than a plane, but not as good as a rocket. It's more like a plane since it only flies in the skies, but it's a lot larger.

Seems like ya know a little bit about 'em.

[phantomfenton.livejournal.com]

*Nods, his own tension easing slightly.*

Sort of--I like rockets a lot.

So an airship's basically a souped-up airplane?

[smokesinspace.livejournal.com]

[well now. HE MIGHT END UP LIKING THIS KID.]

Yeah, only ten times better than even that! Can use 'em for travelin', but they're also equipped for battle with missiles and bombs. Make for one hell of an air raid.

[phantomfenton.livejournal.com]

*If Cid will talk rockets and stuff with him then he's got himself a new shadow.*

Really? Whoa, that sounds awesome! How fast can they go? How much can they carry?

[smokesinspace.livejournal.com]

[now this was more like it!]

My first airship, the Highwind, could go almost 400 knots, but Shera can go a lot faster thanks to its new engine. As for how much it can carry, over a thousand tons! Could hold a *&#@ ton of weapons, people, equipment.

Ain't as maneuverable as the smaller planes, but for an airship its size, it's pretty damn good. [smirks] 'Course, that's with me as the captain.

[phantomfenton.livejournal.com]

A thousand tons?! Dude, that's incredible! Even shuttles in my world don't carry that much!

*Grins back, awed.* And you pilot one of those?

[smokesinspace.livejournal.com]

Hell yeah! I'm the one who designed 'em! Made the first plane, the airship, and the first man inta space.

[phantomfenton.livejournal.com]

*Eyes have gone very, very round. He's in the presence of a HERO and words cannot express his admiration.*

W-Whoa... You were your world's first man in space?

[smokesinspace.livejournal.com]

Didn't I just say that? [but he's in a good mood now /o/]

It had always been my dream, and I finally got ta live it out. Wasn't easy, though.

[phantomfenton.livejournal.com]

That's my dream too! Going out into space, I mean!

I want to be an astronaut!

[smokesinspace.livejournal.com]

That right? [kid, you just went up like 1000 points in Cid's book. now that's a feat.]

Well once I figure out what all I got here, I'll be workin' on tryin' ta come up with some kinna airship ta fly us out of here. Maybe I could show ya a thing or two. Ain't a rocket, don't think this place has the facilities for that, but it'll get ya in the right direction.

[phantomfenton.livejournal.com]

Yeah!

S-Seriously?! You'd show me how to make one?! Dude, I would love to help! Count me in!

[smokesinspace.livejournal.com]

[well. that's enthusiasm all right]

Just don't start come around whinin' and complainin'. It's all about hard work and gettin' yer hands dirty. Gotta go all the way. Think ya can really handle it?

[phantomfenton.livejournal.com]

*Nods. Nods. Nods.* Yes, sir! I know I can handle it--just tell me when to start!

[smokesinspace.livejournal.com]

Ya can start by helpin' me find somethin' that could work as engine. And what runs this place anyway?

[phantomfenton.livejournal.com]

An engine? Like a car engine?

*Shrugs.* Electricity?

[smokesinspace.livejournal.com]

Gonna need somethin' bigger and more powerful than that. But it's a start. Can figure out how things work around here anyway.

Just electricity? Don't use gas or oil or somethin'?

[phantomfenton.livejournal.com]

Alright--Where should I put it when I get one?

*Frowns, actually trying to think his answer through, this time.* Uh... Gas, maybe?

... No, wait! I think I heard somewhere that everything here runs on dreams-power. Whatever that is.

[smokesinspace.livejournal.com]

Gonna need some place big and with enough machinery and equipment ta work around. Got any suggestions?

[.........................kid. you just earned yourself the "What the fuck are you on" stare]

You're *&#@^%$ #@*&^$!* me, this place runs on dream power?!?!

[phantomfenton.livejournal.com]

*Shrugs.* You could use a warehouse, or some kind of factory. They've got a bunch of those in the Industrial Sector.

*Cringe!* Hey, don't look at me, I never said it made sense! That's just what the Overlord's told everyone, and she would know, wouldn't she?

[smokesinspace.livejournal.com]

Industrial Sector? [sounds promising at least] Where's that?

[get used to it kid. that was barely scratching level 2 :|b] This is what that ghost woman said? How d'ya know she just hasn't lost her marbles and gone plumb crazy and just makin' up *&#@? How d'ya know she's even the real Overlord or whatever?

[phantomfenton.livejournal.com]

It's in western Somni.

*Shrugs, disgruntled.* I don't know, but wouldn't it make sense if she was right? I mean, after all, this is a dreamworld. And I have no idea if she is or not, but the other 'ghosts' seem to follow her. Shouldn't that be good enough?

[smokesinspace.livejournal.com]

West, huh. I'll check it out.

[so many respect points were lost, kid 8|] T'ch, I'll have ta see this for myself. And if it is dream fuel or whatever that *&#@ is, looks like I'm gonna have ta figure out how to use it. It ain't like Mako is it? [may or may not be slightly hesitant because of that :|a;]
