Have to stop coming back to the automail wings. Too heavy. Rip a person in half. Meant to put people back together, not pull them apart. Right.

But if I could find a way to get the right metal ratio to support the right lightening spells and not disrupt the natural magic

She is SUPER CURIOUS but TRYING NOT TO BE XD

[abovetwinsuns]

...are you attempting to create non-magical powered flight?

...I could help.

IT'S OKAY, CURIOUS AWAY

[ready_aim_toss]

Uh. Sort of. Kind of. In a way. Not really.

It's just - an idea, you know? And most of the time I can run with this sort of this and it actually ends up somewhere, but I'm stumped here. I mean, automail is all about replacing something that used to be there. It makes sense like that. No human ever had wings naturally, so you can't replace them. And it would really be non-magical anyway, because automail relies on the natural magic in a person's body to run. Which is why Muggles can't use it. Yet. Yet.

YOU USED YET. SHE IS SOLD.

[abovetwinsuns]

Maybe there would be a way to sort of...trick the automail into thinking that the wings were some other part of the body? Rerouting the magical energy from the arms or legs in order to power it? Would it be possible to use a charm to channel the natural magic to the extra extermities, and upon landing, channel it back? You wouldn't exactly need legs for flying.

Jaina realizes she has forgotten something...

[abovetwinsuns]

Oh, and my name's Jaina. Seventh year Slytherin, I don't think I've seen you around much.

[tipofagunblade]

Need some z's, Automailer?

[ready_aim_toss]

Are you offering some of yours? I don't think there are any of mine left...

[tipofagunblade]

Between prefect duties, practicing dueling, and batting away girls, I need all the rest I can get myself. Just seeing if you're alright, Mechanigirl.

[ready_aim_toss]

My name's Winry?

[scallyswag]

.. a tick short of a full crew, that is.

[ready_aim_toss]

.....

What?

[scallyswag]

I'm be sure you will find the finest of help for your mental impairment.

[ready_aim_toss]

Mental...

What? Why do you think I'm crazy?

[hypersthene]

Uh.. what are you talking about? I thought that auto..mail stuff was supposed to help people.

[ready_aim_toss]

It is? I mean. Yes. It is. Which is why making automail wings isn't really viable, because it doesn't really help...as such. I mean, it still could, but in a more general sense that anything else, you know? The immediate effects of helping people wouldn't be obvious. But I don't only make automail, this would be a sort of...mix.

I wonder...

[hypersthene]

If you want to help people fly by making wings, why make automail for it? They can already fly with brooms, so it seems like it would be kind of pointless. And by the way you were talking in those notes, it sounds like it would do a lot more harm than good! Sheesh. You're still not making much sense as it is anyway.

[ready_aim_toss]

Who said there only ever needed to be one way to do things? Why fly when there are magic carpets?

So you find a way to make it not cause harm and do more good. That's what creating things is all about.

[wishesforname]

Have you always thought of using the mechanics of automail to give humans the ability to fly?

[ready_aim_toss]

Nope! Only in the past few weeks. A month or two, maybe. My boyfriend grew wings when everyone had animal parts.

Hey, you're in my year, right? Sorry, I've been here for a while, but I still haven't gotten to know everyone's names yet.

[wishesforname]

So from the genetic modifications of that time, he was able to fly and now you're attempting to re-create it.

For the sake of having something to refer to me by, I respond to K.

[ready_aim_toss]

Well, not yet. First I'd have to figure out if it's actually possible before trying to re-create it.

Oh! Hi, K ^_^ I'm Winry, nice to meet you? I think you're in my year, right? What house are you in?
