Eighth Crash [Action/Voice]

[broji]

{In today's episode Ginji can be found refilling a metal dish suspended from a tree with seed and peanuts. If you guessed "bird feeder", give yourself ten points! After making sure the feeder's still attached securely to its branch, Ginji will make himself comfortable on the lawn and pull out his journal. He'll sit there for a while, enjoying the fresh air and the milder weather, before starting a new entry.]

Hey everyone. So...what's it like for you back home? Do you come from a large family or a small one? Have you set out on your own or still live with your parents? Got any siblings? Kids?

I'd like to know.

[After the voice post is finished, he'll spend the next few hours watching any animals that might wander over to the feeder and run through a few sketches of different wing shapes.]

I guess it does make sense, but wow, messing up a complicated item and then having to start all over from scratch. Must be pretty rough. [It's kind of like a failed airship design, but at least with those you can scrap the metal and some of the other parts for your next shot at it.]


So that's actually happened before, has it? [Catching the workshop on fire...]

[piealchemist]

A few times ... or maaaaybe a little more than just a few. [ ... ] But it's better that it catches on fire than anything else! It's really terrible to end up with a hole in the ceiling! ... Or um ... no ceiling at all, ehehe.

[Okaaaay, that's dangerous. She definitely wasn't kidding.]

But you do at least wear goggles and protective clothing, right? Or ah...you know, take other safety precautions?

Fire's one thing, but explosions are something else!

[voice]

[piealchemist]

... Welllll ...

[ ... ]

I'm really, really careful?

[voice]

[broji]

[Um... In other words 'no', right?]

Unexpected things can still happen even when you're really, really careful, though. I know this from experience.

[piealchemist]

I-I know that ...! I've been an alchemist for at least ten years now! [... Which probably means she has no excuse for not being more careful. Erm.] But uhm ... I guess I should proooobably be a teensy bit more careful than I usually am ...
