01. AIRSHIPS!! [Text]

[mech_and_mutt]

I didn't know we were gonna get the chance to get our own airships! I know I missed being able to wake up and see nothing but sky and clouds out the window. Made drying the laundry a lot easier, too.

But that kinda got me thinking- you couldn't get very far without an airship back where I came from, but a lot of the people I've talked to have said they've never seen anything like them before! I know a few people here have had SOME sort of flying machine back in their world, though. If yours did too, I gotta know- what were they like?

For that matter, how many other pilots do we HAVE here, anyway?

COOOOOOOOOOOOOL.

nobody does that where I'm from. in fact, airships aren't all that common back home. we used to have this big monster bad guy who destroyed all of our inventions. that is... until RIKKU came along and kicked his butt ;)

You can't make airships but you have flying, sailing SCHOOLS??

Your world is weird.

[mech_and_mutt]

Then why're you so afraid to talk about it?

[mech_and_mutt]

Wait, that arm's fake? And it has WEAPONS??

[I mean, Red can't exactly say 'lucky' to that, but... that IS pretty cool.]

I thought it was just some weird armor piece!

[mech_and_mutt]

I love it to; hopefully I'll be back there before TOO long.

[But he's on a totally different train of thought now that flying disc is on the table.]

No kidding!! Do you play it?

[mech_and_mutt]

Right? Even won a few big races. Hopefully something like that's caught on around here.

We had a big monster going around wrecking stuff, too, but yours truly managed to get inside and take it out. Sounds like this RIKKU was pretty good, too.

[mech_and_mutt]

NO!!! WHY

I'm not talking about them eating me I mean I'd lose my appetite thinking about the eating thing!

You're right though, I AM really cool. But give yourself credit for all that firepower YOU brought too. Besides, you did a good job distracting it.

[mech_and_mutt]

So this guy blasted a God so hard it exploded?? [...Okay, that actually does sound kind of cool.]

Good job finishing it off. Just sealing it away would only have made you regret it sooner or later. But why would talking about it here create problems back where you came from?

Why would I wear armor on only one arm? And it didn't have weapons, it had a weapon mode.

Why do you assume it's fear that keeps me from speaking about it?

[mech_and_mutt]

So what DOES?

Similarly to how you thought people wouldn't want to scan the network and read about humanity going extinct in your world, I doubt they would want to be able to come across what I had to say about my own. And overall, I doubt this network being 100% secure.

I've played it a few times.
Our teeth aren't good for gripping things, so we just use our hands.

[ Then there's a few moments of just "...typing..." because Hunk is busy trying to contain his excitement at watching a large dog-humanoid playing frisbee like a dog dog. It's just so silly. ]

Dogs totally use their teeth, though.
They don't have thumbs.

principle of it. primals like the dreadwyrm need prayer and aether to sustain their form. less people who think on him the better. an' nobody ought to know the truth of what louisoix did for the same reason.

They were made before I was even born!

There's only one place that I know of in my whole world that could make of this stuff and they're not exactly keen on sharing.

is it that bad
i dont usually eat monsters but its not that different from eating animals right

thank you
i tried my best!!

text;

[mech_and_mutt]

Well no but

Look, I've eaten animals too, I even chew bones, but have you SEEN what the culinarians do when they eat monsters?

I only HEARD it and thinking back on it makes me queasy!!

[mech_and_mutt]

So you're saying they actually get stronger the more people believe in them?

Or should I not even think about it?

[mech_and_mutt]

[He'd give that to her. Maybe not in recognition of tact over curiosity, but because if she's wrong on that point then he would be, too.]

Alright, alright. Still, you humans are still around there, right? I can't imagine it being THAT bad.

[mech_and_mutt]

[Does EVERYONE from this space-exploring lion-piloting world just get all the cool toys and tools to play with?!]

What kind of weapon? Lasers? Missiles? You gotta show me when you get that thing working again!

[mech_and_mutt]

[Oh yeah. He totally called the ancient tech thing.]

Oh, so they're hogging all the secrets and good tech? That's a shame. I bet school's a lot more interesting when it's flying around, though. Did you go to one?

[mech_and_mutt]

What does THAT mean? You've seen my thumbs.

[littlemhigan]

yes and probably.

most primals temper more followers to make them stronger. its one of the reasons theyre so dangerous.

text; [PRIVATE]

[pishirogane]

Yes. How bad it is could be debatable. What would you consider a force that you can't defend yourself against?
