Who's happy? Right, he is.

[prussiandavinci]

Just come and see who has a little fanboy moment. Or rather a moment where his ego is boosted up like woah. He had seen them in those square things people called tele... television or something. And now he stood in front of one of them. A dream coming true. A modified version of his flying machine. It looked wonderful. Amazing.

And good god, he

"Yeah! Of course! It makes things way more convenient--I prefer fighters, though. Shooting is more fun than bombing, no matter how much easier it is." He had a penchant for war he'd never let go of, even in modern times. He just preferred more traditional warfare to bombing and destroying things in big numbers with one go. It wasn't nearly as fun. "Well, of course it's heavy! Most things this size are, unless they're made of cardboard." Making sure all of the doors were closed and locked, he put his seatbelt on and gestured to the second pilots chair. "Take a seat! You'll fall down if you're standing up when this thing gets in the air! A-and put your seatbelt on, too! Anyway, an engine keeps this thing in the air and the way the wings are helps it stay up! The wings are tilted, that way the air going over it moves faster than the air beneath it. When air speeds up, it's pressure drops--when the pressure drops, things can go up instead of down. Then the plane stays in the air! The engine keeps it moving forward quickly, so it moves and it stays in the air. Kinda simple, if you don't get into the mechanics of it!"

[prussiandavinci]

His joy is designing machines and building life-size models of them, be it for war or whatever. As long as it catches his interest that is. He planted himself on a seat quickly. "What the hell is a seatbelt?" Men even tricked physics! It's amazing! Awesome!

[awesome_army]

Models are almost as good as the real thing. Just as nice to look at! Prussia pouted, undid his own seatbelt, and reached over and buckled him in. "It's the thing that makes sure your ass doesn't go flying through the windshield and onto the ground of you have to make a short stop in a moving vehicle. And so turbulence doesn't do the same thing. And in case you lose power and have to make a hard landing. It's for safety, just wear it!" He returned to his seat and put his back on, preparing everything for flight. HQ seemed cooperative--everything was prepared and cleared for them to go.

"OKAY!! Are we ready!?" He asked, even though as soon as the words were out he started the plane forward.

[prussiandavinci]

"Safety with a belt? Huh, the future is weird!" But if it calms his other self down and lets him sleep at night then he will keep the belt on, see? "I've never been more ready in my whole life!" It's even moving on its own! Without horses or wind! Gilbert decided that he likes the future.

[awesome_army]

"When're you from, anyway? It's a little weird, but it works! Basically it just holds you down if you jerk forward too quickly and keeps you in place!" He gave his a tug and it made a harsh noise as it forcibly kept the belt from coming out too far, though his attention stayed on the runway. His grin widened as it accelerated and the end drew nearer, faster. He began to gently pull the control wheel back, reaching over to flip switches and press buttons as they started to take the air. The runway began to disappear quickly from the view of the window in front of them, being replaced with the sky and the sky only.

[prussiandavinci]

"Last time I checked it was 1483 or something and I was in Venezia. Say does that place still smell horrible?" Not like he'd ever need such a belt on a horse carriage. It would be pretty useless, despite that the way it works is interesting. It couldn't match his interest in the airplane though, not at all.

"Woah! Are we in the air already?!"

[awesome_army]

"Hey! Italy doesn't smell bad at all!! He smells as bad as he is uncute--which means he's fucking adorable and smells great, so every part of him does!!" But the whole 'Venice smells bad' had been but a myth in all of his experience(and with his attachment to the Italy brothers he had plenty of it.) The canals smelt like salt water, and that didn't smell bad at all, not to Gilbert anyway. "But that's pretty long ago. . .I was still a brat back then!! Kesese, I was cute back then, too."

Prussia nodded, pointing at the side window. "Yeah, we are! Just look out there--unless you're afraid of heights or somethin', but I really doubt that." Considering his fascination with the plane and all, it'd be a shame if he got some Acrophobia when they were already getting so high.

[prussiandavinci]

"Okay, okay, I was talking about the city, not they guy himself!" He has no idea that 'Italy' and Feliciano are one and the same person just from another universe.And yes, it's centuries ago and the people back then... let's not go into detail, it's gross. "It's still kinda strange! The future that is. And of course you were! I know I was cute!"

Hey, he's not scared at all! ... Maybe just a little but give him some credit, it's his first time in an airplane. "This is awesome!" We are like birds!!!"

[awesome_army]

"I know, but the city's part of hi--his hou--him, and it really doesn't smell! Really!!" Or maybe he simply has such a high opinion he can't smell anything.

Prussia's not the most careful when it comes to technology introduction. He didn't really think twice about it. Hopefully the whole 'popping ears' thing that happens about now won't scare him a bit more. "We are!! Just a bit heavier! That's one of the reasons I love flying--w'll go as high as any little bird could go! Higher, actually!!" He'd be even more excited if he were in a jet. Moving much faster, moving a bit more fluidly, able to do all sorts of tricks without feeling like you'll fall out of the sky. When you have experience, anyway.

[prussiandavinci]

"I already got it."But he's living there. Okay, he had just moved there before he got here. They both have an high opinion on their Feli's as it seems. But it's good.

His ears did start to feel weird... and hurt a little. "Hey, is it normal that your ears start to hurt?" Flying even higher than a little bird? That's even more than he ever expected!

[awesome_army]

"Huh? Hurt? I guess it hurts a little, yeah. That's gonna happen, don't worry! Also if you suddenly can't hear too well, that's normal, too!" He was raising his(already pretty loud) voice while saying that, just in case. Though his hearing might just get muffled instead of quieter. . .to which even yelling wouldn't do much good. "It's because we're up so high! This sort of thing happens on mountains, too!"

[prussiandavinci]

"Okay, just wanted to get sure that this is normal!" His ability to hear did get a bit bad. But he will be fine. "Is there a way to stop that?"

[awesome_army]

"Yawning usually works! Chewing gum, too! And there's a bunch of other ways!" Since they were getting to be the appropriate distance from the ground that he didn't have to man the controls so much, he started digging one hand into his jacket's pockets. He carried around all sorts of things so he probably had some gum in there somewhere.

[prussiandavinci]

"What's chewing gum?" And how does he use it? Whatever you gave him, he starts to look at it with curiosity.

[awesome_army]

"What's it sound like? Just unwrap it and put it in your mouth and chew it." He did the same for himself, manning the controls again, curiously looking down out the window at HQ. It looked smaller, but somehow it still didn't look that much smaller. "And, uh, don't swallow it. When there's no more flavor left in it, spit it back out in the wrapper. Or blow bubbles with it!"

[prussiandavinci]

All that mattered to him was that they fly! High, high in the skies! "Okay?" Then he will start chewing- OH GOD. Oh gracious, almighty god! It didn't turn to mush when chewing! "How do I make bubbles with it?"
