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.

Yes, she does. They grew up together in the same home.

What?!! Fina never mentioned that. So, he's her brother?

[ video ]

[noblejustice]

I don't believe they're related, she did mention they were best friends.

[alphastorming]

[Oh man, that makes it even worse. Fina's her best friend, the idea that Ramirez might once have felt the same way about her, and might still, even, has taken her completely by surprise.]

...Maybe Ramirez has more in common with us than he wants us to believe. I wonder what could have happened to make him so ... cold?

[noblejustice]

I wonder the same as does Fina, maybe one day we will find out. [He also sighs.] I'd like to believe the same as you, Aika.

[Now she just feels bad for calling Ramirez a jerk. She's about to say something to that effect, but then she remembers that this is the same man who destroyed Little Jack, and as far as she knew, killed Drachma. And she feels her heart begin to harden again towards him, although not as much as before.]

If Fina was that close with him, there must be good in him somewhere, but ... it doesn't change what he's done.

[Enrique is the type of person that while there are those who do wrong, he does believe some deserve another chance. That's why he fully cannot hate the Armada or his mother for what they've done, it is his home after all even they've done so many terrible things. It would be the same as not forgiving himself, even if he feels that way to a degree.]

No, it does not. However... I'm willing to forgive him and perhaps give him another chance.

[alphastorming]

It's not that simple, though. Ramirez ... he was the one who fired on the Little Jack.

[noblejustice]

I'm aware of that Aika, but perhaps in time, we can all try to forgive him. If we can show him kindness and forgiveness, he may open to us.

[alphastorming]

My friend might be dead because of him! I can't forgive that so easily! But ... [she sighs] if he was really that close to Fina...

[She can't even begin to describe how much she misses Fina. Maybe becoming close to Ramirez, getting him to open up and be happy, might make the hole in her heart where Fina ought to be a little smaller.]

[noblejustice]

If Captain Drachma might be dead because of Admiral Ramirez, then consider this tragedy my fault as well. [He gives her a sad smile.] I've told you, the blood that the Armada has spilled is upon my hands as well as I am the Prince of Valua.

[alphastorming]

Huh?! It's not your fault! You didn't order it, you weren't even there! Just because you're the prince, that doesn't make you responsible for everyone else's actions.

The Armada is still my country's generals and even if my mother is currently Empress, I will one day become Emperor and rule over Valua. Any actions the Armada takes falls upon me as the future Emperor.
