[this would be a certain grumpy old pilot standing in front of several things. one, his lovely giant airship, The Dreamcatcher. this was standing outside of its equally giant hangar, but she's not alone. oh no. Cid wasn't just sitting up there doing now. some may recognize the Skyrunners (hover motorcycles basically), only they're more pimped out

Wow. Wowwie wow wowza. It's a real for deal airship! That's soooo totally awesome! I wanna try! Gimme, Gramps, gimme!

[Even if Minami is... Minami, she's a surprisingly fast learner. Though she might conveniently forget the whole 'no joyrides' thing. Speaking of which...]

Oh oh oh, but...! What if this is, like, a No Fly Zone and the city goes "PACHOO!" and shoots a giant laser to prevent our escape? Oh man, I don't wanna be desert dust! Gramps, tell me you've got plans upon plans upon plans to prevent that! ... And the stuff that might happen after that. Then after after that.

[.......stares.]

First of all, quit callin' me "Gramps." [stupid kids.]

And didn't you hear what I just said? This ain't no *&$#@!^ joyride.

[grumbles.] We already tested it with one of the smaller models. Works just fine.

[And she'll just use her selective hearing to ignore those first two sentences. :D]

Oooh, gotcha! So you've got everything covered and stuff? Then I'm totally signed up! You betcha bottom dollar that I'll work my butt off, Gramps!

[hate.]

I said don't call me "Gramps"! Who the *&#@ are you?

[ It took Riku a little bit to realize what he was saying. Recruiters are usually nicer Cid, jsyk. ]

So you just plan to fly around this place looking for...an exit?

[ voice ]

[smokesinspace]

[nice? what is nice?]

Better than just sittin' around waitin' for one. Got any better ideas?

[ voice ]

[soughtfreedom]

[ It's a foreign concept to some rare individuals. Riku's only heard rumors of it from his friends. ]

You just said you've been here a year. What have you guys been doing for that long?

[ voice ]

[smokesinspace]

[such a mythical creature this nice is...]

Beats the *&$# outta me. Sit on their asses? I did my job and I ain't gonna babysit everyone else. They wanna stay here? Fine by me, but I got better things to do than just sit around and play house all day.

Those are some very fine machines.

[video]

[smokesinspace]

[finally, someone who could appreciate all his hard work.]

Better than fine. Best damn machines you'll see around here.

[maskmastery]

[he smiles.]

I have little doubt of that. They're quite different to what I'm used to, but I see that this must have been quite a while in the making.

[video]

[smokesinspace]

Took a good year, but considerin' what I had to work with guessin' it ain't bad.

[video]

[heavenlyfinale]

Don't go too hard on everyone now.

[video]

[smokesinspace]

I'll go hard on 'em if they don't do their job.

[video]

[heavenlyfinale]

Business as usual then, hm? I'll help out, if you need me.

[video]

[smokesinspace]

Pretty much. And you know yer always welcome up here, Tifa. Wouldn't mind havin' a familiar hand around.

[You had his attention at 'aircraft.']

Experienced pilot reporting in. I'm very interested in this venture of yours.

[Video]

[smokesinspace]

[YESSS BALTHIER-I mean just gives him a look.]

Experienced, huh? What'd you fly?

[Video]

[theleadingman]

[Balthier offers the other pilot a smirk in reply.]

An airship of my own design. A fighter prototype, modified. If only I'd been able to bring her with me; the Strahl was quite a sight to see.

[smokesinspace]

[okay, the older pilot is a little impressed.]
