Yes, all right. You can stop sounding so worried, now. I'm only going to mention it to him if he asks very nicely, and I can't see why he would. Don't panic.
Not exactly. I'm a privateer. My fleet was based on sea, but the air seemed so lonely and unused. My airships changed that. There's nothing part time about it.
[ ooc: I must have lost this notif. I have no idea how but I thought I replied to this, and I'm so sorry! Please don't feel obligated to reply, I just didn't want to leave it. ]

Well, air ships. They don't work like the ETs, you see, because technology on my world is not so advanced. They don't have engines.
Actually, I don't dislike that thought. But it hardly proves that I made them originally, given that the CDC already has craft that fly with alien tech.

You can believe me or not, Hinata. Ask Alina, if you like. She saw the originals.

Yes sir

Though, do you know him very well? Him or Elric??
no subject
Elric. The short boy that Dagger's fond of? I don't know him personally.

I have respect for Jean.

He's a really good cliff jumper...
Kirstein, that is
no subject
Why do you actually know that?
no subject
He accidentally knocked me off a cliff but caught me on the way down
It was really impressive!
[and, you know. life threatening.]
Did he do the same to you?
no subject
No. Although on Ajna, he climbed up onto a ledge, jumped off it, and landed on top of the male Shai that was about to kill me. That was impressive.
no subject
THAT is awesome!!!!!! DUDE
For such a jerk, he's really skilled!!! And their gear is incredible by itself!! Have you ever thought of learning??
no subject
To use their gear?
I'd enjoy that. Eren gave me a ride on it once. Under some rather extreme circumstances, but it was definitely the most fun I had that day.

Does it tempt you?
no subject
"Does it tempt you" makes it sound like something evil...
I doubt there'd actually be a chance but I'd try if there was!!! Even if it's not all that useful the second there's nothing to swing from
Our own feet are more relyable in the end, I suppose
no subject
Saints, no. Don't say that. If you only ever do what's reliable you'll never do anything fun.

Anyway, I have something of a preference for the air.

Yeah?? Were you a part-time pilot back home?

Wait
In your world, you INVENTED airplanes
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org
You went from being a sailor to a pilot on the airplanes YOU invented

Are you serious??????

FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org
But yes. Quite serious.
no worries at all!
That's ridiculous
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org
Your ridiculous
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org
I dont believe you
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org
Prove it!!
cries
How exactly would you have me do that?
no subject
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org
Make the blue prints again, but upgrade it with alien tech! You could work with Noh-Varr on it!
no subject
Actually, I don't dislike that thought. But it hardly proves that I made them originally, given that the CDC already has craft that fly with alien tech.

You can believe me or not, Hinata. Ask Alina, if you like. She saw the originals.
no subject
It proves you're smart enough to maybe have, and that's a good start
Plus, it'd be an interesting project, right??
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org
Wait
You and Alina know each other?
no subject
FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org
I should hope so. Marrying her would prove difficult, otherwise.

What???
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org
OH
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org
have you been engaged all this time???? She's very pretty, congratulations Sturmhond!!
no subject
Since we were on Selena, but thank you. We're from the same world. Do I take it you didn't know that?
no subject
Not one bit! You didn't make a announcement that I missed, did you???
no subject
No. I don't think the crew at large has much of an interest in my private life, Hinata. They didn't need to know.
