Fourth Crash [Action/Voice]

[ACTION]
[Sawing metal, hammering it into the proper shape, and then welding it together has become second nature, and the work here is actually more pleasant than the long hours spent installing rivets and checking plugs in Sheridan's overheated hangar. But these days Ginji is working on something very different as a side project. One might find him seated on a bench, deeply focused as he strings together a series of tubes. Or one might hear a tinkling metallic sound from a little ways off as Ginji checks to be sure his current work is properly balanced.]

[VOICE]
Hey. I was wondering if anyone has any old or broken appliances and furniture they were thinking about getting rid of? That you don't mind being taken apart and scrapped, I mean. You won't even have to haul it away.

See, I've been working on wind chimes for the Starfish Festival, and I think I could get some more done in time - the only problem is I'm almost out of scrap metal.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Mysterious tinkling sounds are one of the many things that can double as curious child magnets. Florian can't help but wander in the direction of the sound, and...attempt to creep over and watch Ginji do whatever it is he's doing.

He's probably rather conspicuous anyway.]

[Ginji's pretty zoned in on what he's doing, so it may take him a little while to notice that he has company. The tinkling resumes as he pulls the last knot tight to keep the metal tubes suspended. It's when Ginji holds the wind chime out to make sure it isn't lopsided, that he spots a flash of green.]

Oh! Good morning, Ion.

[Yeah, sorry about this.]

I'm Florian. What're you doing?

[That reply is so fast it's like he expected it to be the first thing he heard. Which he didn't, but really, it's not entirely unexpected for him.]

[That catches Ginji off guard, and he finds himself studying the Ion-that-is-not-Ion for a minute. At least he isn't a stick-in-the-mud like Sync was. Are they all brothers or...? Maybe they're all replicas like Luke is. He has enough tact not to ask.]

My mistake. Sorry about that, Florian. [Ginji smiles, holding the completed wind chime out so he can get a good look at it. The top is shaped like a star, and beneath that are the metal tubes responsible for making the chiming sounds.]

I'm making wind chimes for the Starfish Festival next week.

It's okay. [He stares at the thing curiously, poking at one of the tubes to make it chime.]

They're for the festival? Are you going to make a lot of them?

Oh, if you need some help with making them, I'd be happy to lend a hand!

Sure, you're welcome to help out. Are you any good with a hammer?

Actually, I'm a music box maker, so I'm used to working with pieces of metal.

I'm sure you have plenty of experience with this kind of thing, then. So, when did you decide that you wanted to make music boxes?

Oho! Wind chimes for the festival? Just talking about it is making me more excited for the damn thing~!

...I don't think I have anything I'm thinking of tossing though.

Same here. Fuuko was just telling me there are going to be fireworks and everything. It's pretty amazing how big this festival has gotten.

That's okay, though. I thought wind chimes would be something different. And if it comes down to it, I can probably melt down some eating utencils.

Whoa! I haven't seen fireworks in forever! Ihi! I'm even more excited now....!

They are something different, definitely. I like them though- they're pretty peaceful things. And by the sounds of things you're a pretty handy guy.

It's been a while for me, also. [Not since adventures with circus performers.] Here's hoping that there won't be any technical difficulties. I'd really hate to miss them.

Yes, and good for double checking the weather. Not that big windstorms would be common in this environment... [Though, he's not about to rule anything out!]

It kind of runs in the family. I do what I can.

Have you checked with the blacksmiths? They usually have some extra pieces they can't use kicking around.

Some of the scraps that were too small, flimsy, and misshapen to be used for much else, yes. I didn't want to take all of it, though - just in case we get a big or unusual order in.

Hn. I'll look around and see what my roommate and I have and don't use. Maybe there's something from people who were sent home?

I'd appreciate it.

[He laughs nervously.] But isn't that kind of like stealing? I realize they aren't here anymore, but the things that were left behind might have had value to them.

[Ran Fan spots him, hearing the metallic sound and becomes interested in what he was doing. She jumps down from the rooftop she was at, landing about a foot away from him.]

May I ask what you are working on?

[~~Whoa, ninja skills!~~ Ginji looks up abruptly, his eyes wide. Technically, he should be used to this, since the Dark Wings and Asch frequently made use of roofs, but still -- he wasn't expecting anyone to swoop down right beside him!]

...Oh! This? It's a wind chime.

[Staring~]

Do you mind if I watch?

[Wow, okay. He didn't know wind chimes were so interesting, but sure. Ginji shrugs lightly, finally relaxing a bit - enough to offer a smile, anyway.] Go right ahead.

You can even make one if you want. [He gestures towards the tools and scraps of metal spread out in front of him.] Sorry I can't offer you a more comfortable place to sit, though.

Fuuko was a teacup for a whole week and woke up crammed into someone's cupboard.

[BUT SHE'S FINE aside from that. But hey, starfish? Starfish.]

Thank you for all the work you're putting into this Ginji-san, Fuuko can't wait to see your wind chimes.

A teacup, Fuuko? [Did he hear that right? She did say teacup, didn't she? A cup for tea... teacup, teacup...]

It's no problem. Actually, I'm having a lot of fun working on them. I don't usually make things like this, so it's been a nice change.

A teacup. One that could walk around and talk apparently. [The less said about it the better.]

Fuuko is glad that the Starfish Festival has given you a change of pace then. There's really no end to the number of good things it can bring.

Oh. ...I see. [A walking, talking teacup... This is new. Not that he wouldn't like to see it! ~~Maybe.~~]

Me too. I'd rather try something new and different than let work become monotonous; it's not much fun that way. [Not that that's ever been much of a problem, but the majority of the stuff they work on at the smithy seem to be weapons.]

I wonder what other things the festival's been doing for people.
