Falling! With Style!

[ofsevenbelles]

[Today an unusual craft flies overhead, making a beeline for the Barrier.

Naturally, it bounces right off, goes into a tailspin, and crashes right into the mud. If you strain your ears, you can hear someone cursing from the inside.]

Ciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid! I blame you! Your new steam engine is a piece of crap!

((Intro for Belle!))

Whoa, hey, you alright in there!?

[ofsevenbelles]

I could be better!

[get_sometail]

You'll be out in a jiffy!

[ofsevenbelles]

[and out]

Well I am, no thanks to you.

[get_sometail]

If you sat tight a little longer, I woulda bashed that thing right open!

[ofsevenbelles]

You know, I think I'm glad I went with the "girl just opens the cockpit from the outside" method of rescue.

[get_sometail]

Well ... you're out now, and that's what matters?

[ofsevenbelles]

Yup!

[get_sometail]

... Alright, so what's this about Cid's steam engine?

[looking over the wreck :o :o :o]

[ofsevenbelles]

It's ... crappy crap? You saw what happened, right?

[get_sometail]

Yeah, but I've never seen anything like this come outta the Zebolt shipyards.

[ofsevenbelles]

I'm not, like, way into airships and stuff, but I've never heard of that. This one's straight out of the Alfitaria airship dock.

[get_sometail]

[poking at the engine]

Never heard of the place. Can't be on Gaia, then. If Cid was involved, I'd know.

[ofsevenbelles]

Omigod is that a tail?

[flash flash]

[get_sometail]

Yes, it's a tail. Yes, it's real.

[ofsevenbelles]

So what's the story, bro? Born near the junkyard? Subject to weird tests or crystal poisoning?
