Second Floor Common Room - Wednesday Evening

[strahl-pirate.livejournal.com]

Perhaps he was feeling generous, perhaps he was feeling suicidal, but Balthier had handwavy purchased groceries to make omelettes for himself and anyone else who wanted some. There wasn't anything odd in them, at least not by this world's standards, so Balthier was fairly sure that no one would be grossed out.

He flipped on the television the standard evening news, just to have background noise, but he wasn't really watching it.

[Open for anyone of course, and there's free food if you ask nicely.]

"Right o'" Balthier began constructing the omelette as he continued talking. "I'm a sky pirate from a country I'm sure you've never heard of, and I'm here while hiding out from a bounty on my head."

"Sky pirate? How does that work?"

[strahl-pirate.livejournal.com]

"Well, where I'm from Sky pirates are a group that owe no allegiance to any country. They live on their ships, and do either, hired work, treasure hunting, or other more nefarious dealings."

"Ships. That's the part I'm not getting. Because, as a mercenary, I get everything else. But you mean like flying ships?"

"Yes, why do you not have them here? Hold on a moment," he said digging into the large bag like pockets on his pants. "I have an image (http://www.ffxii.net/image.php?view=images/airships/strahl.jpg) of it here." Balthier said handing him the picture and looking more than a little proud of his ship.

"Neat," Pip said. "We have planes. They can fly. How big is this?"

Now Balthier had to think on that one a moment, this place probably didn't have the same measurement system as they did. "Hmmm well I'd say the extended wingspan is perhaps slightly larger than this building."

"Is this thing big, by comparison? Like, is this as big as they come?"

_{[[No worries. I have FF XII too! Balthier is teh sex. And I say that as someone who doesn't like guys.]]}

"No,"He snorted. "She's a standard sized ship, there are some where I'm from as large a cities. I'd rather stay incognito."

"Ahh. Well, my understanding is that we do have things that fly, but nothing nearly that freakin' big."
