There's something I've been thinking about for a while now. I want to build an airship. I've been here a few months now, and it feels strange being stuck on one island for so long, especially an island as big as this one.

So, I was wondering if anyone had experience with building ships? Or just mechanics in general, and would know how to make some of the parts? I'm sure there are schematics in the library, though Vyse and Enrique would know that better than me. The main thing I'm worried about is what sort of fuel it would run on, since there don't seem to be any moonstones in Asgard.

Oh, right! Aoto said that the airships in his world were probably very different to the ones I'm thinking of, so I drew a picture of one!







If you help out, we might make you part of our crew! Vyse is the captain, before anyone tries to claim that one.

I've told you before. Blue Rogues don't need discretion! [Yes, they do, dummy.]

Aika's drawing wasn't that bad anyway!

[alphastorming]

Stop saying it wasn't bad! Say it was good!

[unimpressive]

H-hey! I told you, it looks like the Little Jack!

[alphastorming]

That's not the same as saying that it's good!

[unimpressive]

Wh-whoa, but... It looks fine, Aika!

[alphastorming]

Ugh, stop being so non-committal! Fine, okay. I won't bother asking your opinion again, if you can't even give me a compliment.

[unimpressive]

It's not about a compliment! You could just use a little practice, but it's not like Ramirez said!

[alphastorming]

Even if it was terrible, you should still say it was nice! That's what friends are supposed to do! Not agree with Admiral Art Critic over there that I should go practice more. It was only supposed to show people what an airship looked like, it wasn't meant to be a masterpiece! Although I spent a lot of time trying to make it look cool...

[unimpressive]

[OH NO... BEST FRIEND GUILT...

There's a moment before he answers, where he huffs out a breath.] Sorry, Aika... It does look a lot like the Little Jack. And it's really good to see that old ship again.

[alphastorming]

[She smiles sadly.] It is, isn't it? I really miss it, and Cap'n Drachma.

[unimpressive]

[He looks away from the bracelet for a moment, before looking right back, smiling a little awkwardly.] Yeah. That ship got us through a lot of things... and the Captain, too. He was...

It was really good to be in his crew.

[argyria]

That looks nothing like an airship. That looks like the latest in Valuan footwear.

[You know, Vyse, he's not even going to get into that argument again.]

Yes. It was.

[alphastorming]

The Little Jack isn't some smelly old boot!

[unimpressive]

[Gosh, rude!]

The future you got to see the Little Jack! [And whooaaa, that was not a good time.]

[argyria]

[Vyse? Tact?]

Then I'm sure I held the same opinion.

[alphastorming]

Is that what you were thinking when you blew it out of the sky?

[She forgets that he isn't supposed to know that yet, with just how angry that comment has made her.]

[unimpressive]

[Get out of here with your tact.

Vyse, on the other hand, has no qualms with talking about a certain someone's future misdeeds...!]

I don't know what you were thinking when you saw it.

[argyria]

[Well. This is interesting information. Not that it actually makes him feel particularly remorseful or guilty, but...interesting. Curious.]

I suppose it depends on the type of meeting.
