What's flying like? For those of you who do.

Sakura;

[payback]

Do you want to?

Rin;

[haruno]

Might be interesting.

[ Beats falling. ]

Sakura forever;

[payback]

I have a hot air balloon.

[Among other options, but she might wait suggesting those...]

[haruno]

[ Oh. Oh that's interesting. ]

Do you take it up often?

[payback]

Not very, but if you wanted to make a quick trip, we certainly could.

[haruno]

Who knows if now's really a good time for that.

[ you know how to say yes? BY NOT SAYING YES!

... she's good at this. ]

[payback]

If you wanted to it could be a longer trip too. And if nothing else too crazy is happening, now is a good time.

[haruno]

Define "too crazy" around here. I know some things are on edge, but otherwise it doesn't seem to be much worse than usual, since the cleanup, with other people on edge.

[payback]

Things are always on edge, but if there's no immediate threat I don't see why we couldn't take some time.

I picked one up because I think hot air balloons and zeppelins might eventually be our best bet for exploring the Dead Zone, and I wanted to practice.

[haruno]

Then now might be a good time, all things considered. What's the mechanism used to generate the flow of hot air for your balloon?

[ what even is a zeppelin? ]

[payback]

Ah, well... a burner with an open flame. Less scary than it sounds, I promise!

[haruno]

What powers the burner?

[payback]

Propane. It catches on fire, and then I guess the hot air inside the balloon lifts it up.

[haruno]

Propane is a gas, right?

[payback]

Yep. But when it's pushed on enough it's a liquid?

[haruno]

Then it changes states under pressure? I mean, under enough cold, water solidifies, and under enough heat, it becomes a gas. Pressure could work like that too in a way?
