Man, everything gets pretty crazy when these experiment-things happen, doesn't it? ....oh well.

Hey, out there! Anybody who actually knows how to fly- got any advice? How do you do it? Magic, wings, a bit of both? I'd really appreciate the help!

[Zack woke up different this morning- not to the same degree as nearly everyone else, it seems, but

[Ellis watches as Zack faceplants in the snow, wincing. He's hesitant, but he moves forward to try and help him up.]

I don't think you're doin' that right, sir.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[Zack accepts the help without protest, grinning and looking astonishingly healthy for someone who just divebombed off a two-story building.]

Probably not! Funny, it didn't look this hard when it was someone else doing the flying.

[Action]

[coveralls]

Well, that's 'cause they had a ton a practice, and I'm guessin' you're just startin' out. [a brief pause] Did you try flappin' 'em real hard?

Re: [Action]

[wingenvy]

Tried that! I think they're more the gliding-type, flapping a lot just tired me out.

Pixie dust! That's how we fly at home.

[wingenvy]

Pixie dust? [What the heck is that.]

voice

[trueraretalent]

It comes from a special tree. Just a little bit and up you go!

[wingenvy]

...What, like sawdust?

[oldvienna]

[ a pretty little noblewoman (who is actually a rather plain farm girl in disguise) rushes forward to help zack from one of those faceplanted-in-snow moments. she holds out a daintily gloved hand. ]

Are you all right, sir?

[wingenvy]

[Zack takes her hand, but since she's a handsomely dressed lady and he's a hefy SOLDIER, he pushes himself up more than he lets her pull him. He just jumped out the third story of a community building and he doesn't even have a scratch :D]

Yep, I'm just fine! Thanks for the help.

[oldvienna]

You're very welcome to it. [ her smile shifts to awe and amazement. how sturdy a young man this is! ]

[wingenvy]

[Once he's straightened up, Zack gives himself a moment to check the fine lady out. Very nice.] You look pretty fancy for a walk around the village. Are you out for a date or something?

[Voice]

[girliepunches]

It takes more than just explaining how, I'm afraid...

Did you get larger wings, Zack?

[Voice]

[wingenvy]

Yeah, I did! Dunno why, but I guess it's what the Malnosso decided I needed.

Hey, uh... do I know you?

[Voice]

[girliepunches]

Oh. I'm sorry, I should've said something... It's Stella.

[Voice]

[wingenvy]

[...ffff. Wow.]

Looks like I really got off easy this time, huh?

[action]

[thestormishere]

[ Oh, oh! Lightning's future!self apparently has some experience with huge feathery things on one side of the body, but... for right now, she's just standing there with a flat expression, wondering why she's watching Zack fling himself off something high and actually manage to fly at all like that. Will he land with any semblance of grace this time or not...? :|a ]

[action]

[wingenvy]

[Good question! Zack's wondering that himself. Once he feels ready, he launches off the roof of the closest house, angling himself so he glides neatly through the air, looking pretty successful for a moment.

...That is until he shifts in the wind the wrong way and does a flailing tumble-roll into a snowbank.

[action]

[thestormishere]

[ .... Well.

A lot of people would probably either laugh or grow alarmed at something like that, but since this is Lightning, the only sound she makes is a quiet scoff before she starts walking over, snow crunching underfoot all the way. Hopefully he hasn't broken his neck or anything... though really most of her interest lies in what in the world is going on here. ]

[action]

[wingenvy]

[She might be either relieved (or disappointed, depending 8D) to find that he hasn't broken his neck yet- he sits up out of the snow, dusting himself off and fluffing the wings a bit to air them out.]

Man... I really thought I had it that time!
