What's a submarine?

[feathered_earth]

It's a type of ship that goes underwater. I'm not sure how it works, though.

[forgotmyforge]

What a fascinating idea! I wonder how you keep the water out.

[feathered_earth]

It probably has pumps in it or something, in case it leaks.

[getsome_sleep]

[Oh wow, a memory that isn't horrible!]

You are full of surprises, Krile-fūrén.

[feathered_earth]

[COMBO BREAKER!]

I think I should take that as a compliment.

[getsome_sleep]

In the spirit in which it was given.

Do you have perhaps any memory as to how this 'submarine' worked?

[He's not addicted to science he can quit anytime.]

[feathered_earth]

I wish I could tell you. Those were propellers at the end, but those are for an airship.

[live_ringer]

[There is a sound of genuine surprise from Lyle's end.]

Huh, I never would have guessed you had something like a submarine at your disposal, from the way you've talked about home. That's pretty advanced.

[feathered_earth]

It sounds like we had a pair of really good mechanics. But a submarine isn't that strange, is it? It just goes under the water instead of on top of it.

[strangely, this is like the one piece of tech in FFV that isn't a case of fixing something "the Ancients" built.]

[live_ringer]

No, not strange. I guess I just underestimated the sort of technology your world had.

[Note to self: refrigerators are too advanced, but submarines are just a fact of life, which means he's mentally putting her world's tech... about early 20th century. How accurate this is, who knows.]

[feathered_earth]

Underestimating anything is a bad idea. [There's a grin in her voice.] It's too bad I didn't get a good look at it.

[Nooot very, sorry Lyle. But her world doesn't even have lunar-based tides, so it's a little hard to categorize anyway.]

[So. That was his voice. And the woman's voice was that pretty pink-haired girl. The...man's? Other woman's? ...person's voice was the man...woman...person from his dream, too.

He responds in the most thoughtful way possible.]

...huh.

[feathered_earth]

...Lix? Is that you?

[SHE IS PRETTY SURE but it's a little tricky when it's a one-word answer.]

[teamwark]

Yup. So. That was me, huh. And you. And that...guy? I think? And that girl, the really pretty one.

Well. Guess you were right.

[feathered_earth]

Of course I was, silly. Am I just not as easy to remember as a pretty girl?

[pause.]

Which guy--the boy, or his grandfather? Or um... the one with purple hair?
