Fifth Crash [Voice/Action]

[broji]

[VOICE]
I thought I should let all of you know. Noelle's disappeared.

But I don't think it was a kidnapping. At least, I haven't found any signs. It's just that she and her things have turned up missing. And anyway, if she were around, she'd probably tell us not to worry about her.

[ACTION]
[Your friendly neighborhood pilot can be found sitting outside Community Housing Building 4 with a writing pad on his knee, pencil idly tapping a heavily scribbled page. He seems to be judging the distance between his window and the nearest tree. This can't be good.]

[Well. For example, a flying city is kind of impractical. Figuring out a way to get it off the ground, keeping it from running out of energy, and then...there's the dome.]

I'm sure we'll find a way if there is one. [Or make a way. That works sometimes, too, although it's usually way more reckless.]

Hey, it's all right. Not everyone needs to, and that's probably a good thing. Basically if it's made out of metal, the smithy works on it. You just heat it up so you can shape it into whatever you want, then let it harden back. [Admittedly this is an extremely abbreviated version of the work process - Ginji's learned not to bore people with all the details unless they ask for them.]

So there's things like swords and tools, nails...we even had a request for a kind of engine once.

[As long as none of the attempts resulted in Ginji's death, she can't object to him doing what it was he wanted. Though she could afford to worry about his safety a little.]

Is it really that simple a craft? [While she most certainly did not think it was as simple as he had made it sound, there is some curiosity to her tone now that he has begun to touch on the subject.]

[voice]

[broji]

[His stunts are always totally safe. Honest!]

I guess I wouldn't call blacksmithing "simple" [since there's a method and an art to it], but it's not hard once you've got the basics down. It just takes some practice and a little elbow grease. [Okay, so at times it requires quite a bit of physical effort, depending on what you're trying to do.]

[voice]

[seleniahymn]

[Then what was that little incident involving saving his life before he fell to his death? :|]

Then it would be better to be experienced with some form of manual labor before then. [Which is how she's hearing it. Physical effort was not her forte, though not for lack of trying...]

[voice]

[broji]

[The Meggiora winds were stronger than expected and their patterns difficult to track on the Albiore's monitoring system. Otherwise it would have been totally safe! (Maybe...)]

Well, yeah...it'd definitely help. Especially with the larger projects. [He's been stuck doing grunt work since he was a kid, so this is a very minor detail to him.]
