[There's gotta be a better way to do this. There's just got to be. However he realizes that he's running out of time, especially with the appearance of certain people in the city of Asgard.

He doesn't bother to show his face. Instead he's setting up a text…somehow that seems much, much safer.]

Party's over, I'm afraid. Back to business.

Quick question for the masses:

A.) Would you consider yourself useful here?
B.) Why so? Or, I suppose, why not?
C.) Serious responses only.

[He's fully anticipating not-serious responses, but at least it gives him a bigger pool to work with.]

Additionally, you may very well know that Euridice Taverna's left the city which means that I'm short one business partner. I'm not precisely looking for a new partner, but perhaps a few new hires.

Serious inquiries only.

Believe me, I've been trying. So far there's hardly been any sort of success, unfortunately.

But if that's the case then how would one make it stop? If its flight is extended that's fantastic for distance but I can't imagine the only option is to crash.

...Rapunzel. She told me about the lanterns once, too. Though if we were to recreate the lanterns for travel I think we'd all burn from the flames.

[He's also unaware how hot air balloons work. Oh well.]

Landing admittedly... is something I still need to work out the details of. Even if I have been adding modifications to the machine, it is only a prototype.

[His test pilots usually just crashed the darn Flying Machine back home. Leonardo really, REALLY, should work on a proper landing system.]

We might burn up, if the floating machine was designed the same way as the lanterns. I would have to find some way to attach a boat or something people could sit in that would keep them safe from the flame. It is a fascinating idea though! I might have to work on this.

[He can add it to his list of projects.]

...perhaps later. I may have something else that would interest you. A project of sorts, something on a grand scale to assist the city. Would you be interested?

Absolutely! If it really would help the city? How may I be of assistance?
