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.

Well, maybe 'you'd be good at it' and 'you want to do it' are different things. If you don't want to help out air pirates, that's fair enough, but if you'd help us with the ship, it would be great! I'm sure you know more about them than anyone here, excepting Vyse maybe.

[argyria]

I would assume you'd want nothing to do with my help.

[alphastorming]

Vyse probably wouldn't, but it's not him that's asking. Come on, Ramirez! You might even enjoy it!

[His normal response is to say no. He even gears up to say it.

But it doesn't come. At least, not immediately. He has little interest in cooperating with them, true (less because of their Air Pirate status and more due to his general disinterest), but the fact remains that he's been here a long time. A long time without Galcian's control and the poisonous atmosphere of Valua to cloud his judgment. It's tempered him out somewhat, loathe as he is to admit it.

He recalls his childhood after a moment; they were never particularly happy memories, but he did gain enjoyment from putting together those old airship models. There was a certain amount of pride to be had in his creations, down to the last painstaking detail.]

...Maybe.

It's something to think about.

[alphastorming]

Great! I know that you'll design something really awesome, Ramirez!

[Because maybe means yes so far as Aika is concerned. Sorry.]

[argyria]

[YEAH HE NOTICED.]

I said maybe.

[alphastorming]

Okay, okay! Well, even with a maybe I'm excited!

[argyria]

[Aika's kindness to him is, quite frankly, baffling.]

You're...

...confusing.

[alphastorming]

Haha! That's not the first time someone's told me that!
