[Action]

[Rising early as always, Thirteen makes his way out into the square.  Today would normally be his day to go fishing... but he had something else in mind this morning.  As he passed by the fountain though, there was a whisper in his mind.  Quiet, faint.  It was soft, far away... but there.  He then approached the fountain, where the voice

[Quiet as it is today at the clinic, Litchi's attention is caught pretty much immediately by that simple question. And she gives the journal an odd look for a moment before replying.]

David...? How in the world....?

[Where did you manage to find a fighter plane inside the enclosure? He can't possibly be joking, right?]

[Thirteen smiles at her confusion, admittedly.]

What? Can't keep my wings clipped forever, can I?

[He's surprisingly nonchalant. He knows something.]

[Voice]

[not_meatbuns]

I suppose not, but... where did you find the room?

[She can tell from that tone that he's on to something. The sheer surprise is starting to make way for realization: The Battle Dome upgrades. Is that it?]

[Voice]

[yellowthirteen]

Well... after your shift, why don't you and I just go see?

[It is the Battle Dome, but he's playing coy about it.]

Mostly aircraft from my world. Nothing as advanced as what you're probably used to.

But I can fly the Su-27 family of aircraft and its derivatives, including the Su-37. The Su-47, the F-35, the AV-8 Harrier II, and the F-15E Strike Eagle, among others. But basically name a fighter aircraft in that era and I can figure it out.

[yellowthirteen]

...Existed on Earth, huh? Strange that aircraft from two completely different worlds could be identical, isn't it?

But I can't say I've heard of either the dropships or the Longswords.

You're going to be giving lessons, David?

[Voice]

[yellowthirteen]

If people are interested, yes.

Fighter plane? You have acquired such a device?

[A chance to up her riding stat from small airplane to fighter plane?]

[yellowthirteen]

In a manner of speaking.

[Not technically. But... he does have his ways.]

[heroicarturia]

["Manner of speaking", huh. Hm...well if he's offering, why turn it down?]

I wouldn't mind taking lessons, if possible. I already have some experience with piloting planes.

[Well, not first-hand experience, but her statistics from The World don't lie.]

[yellowthirteen]

Good. Meet me... near the southern part of town. I can teach you to fly a variety of combat aircraft. Got a favorite?

[godbent]

Yes. Me! I'm interested!

[yellowthirteen]

[A bit young, but sure, why not? Not like this is going to be a real combat thing.]

Alright then. Got one you've always wanted to fly? I might know it.

[godbent]

[hey man hey. She's twenty. Just... physically seventeen]

Not really. I've never thought about it before now, but if you've got a way to do it that would be really cool no matter what it was.
