They can fly. [ He nearly bounces in his spot. ] They were converted from old escape ships. We didn't even know they could do that until we needed to move ours.
[ It's like mini towns zooming through the air. Zell does tense a moment over the direction of the conversation is heading. Going back to fiddling with the tablet again to keep doing something, while he talks. ]
The Sorceress. She wanted to kill all SeeDs, so she decided to target Balamb and Trabia with missiles. [ After an interlude or something. ]
We manage to get Balamb Garden to safety, but... [ Not Trabia. He still remembers how messed up the place looks. Selphie was standing in front of the graves of her friends to tell them she accomplished their dreams. ] Admittance into them starts as young as five...
[ Zell might have not said it outright, but Zack can fill in the blanks easily enough. Balamb had made it. Trabia hadn't been so lucky. Trabia hadn't been so lucky and there'd been kids on board that Garden. Zack's faint smile from before falls abruptly and soon enough, there's a hand on Zell's shoulder, giving it a squeeze. ]
Always seems like things like that... spares no one, huh.
[ It makes him think of Banora... and that had been a tiny town. If Gardens were safe havens for a whole bunch of people like it sounds like... It'd been a war, after all... ]
[ The squeeze is appreciated. Zell finds himself relaxing as he gives a nod. ]
Yeah, it does. [ Here's to hoping that this time the peace lasts a lot longer. ] We managed to get in up in the air at the last moment, too! We did take some damage, but we were alright. Once we got it fixed up I thought it was the best thing before Ragnorak.
[ Trying to stay on the more...cheerful side of the conversation. ]
[ Trying to stay on the more cheerful side... might be the best. There's already too much weighing on them both there, he thinks. ]
Huh... Still, that's... pretty cool. There's talk of ShinRa constructing an airship and we have helicopters? But so far, that's been all our major projects far as anything up in the air goes. We definitely don't have anything that could fly a whole base or something.
There's something of a muted nod and a smile at the mention of learning to fly. Because... learning to fly, okay. He would love that. Just... Well.
Never mind. ]
Well, he did mention sailing in space never mind going all the way to other planets. [ Which... still sounds insane, but hey. He'll work with it. ] So, I think they'd be pretty big. Kuns is gonna have a field day.
Yeah, it still sounds pretty out there, you know? Bet it's one hell of a sight.
[ He's going to take a moment as he glances at the tablet and then back up again. ]
I could show you how to fly. At least how to operate anything from my world. [ Who even knows how anyone else's world works, but it shouldn't be that different. ]
Really? [ He really shouldn't sound this excited. What are the chances he'll ever really get this chance. The thought makes something in him sink, but it doesn't stop him from admitting.. ]
That'd be nice. We were never exactly given any kind of know-how with the choppers back home. Just some really quick 101. Guess they figured if we didn't wanna die out there, we'd learn fast.
[ One eye roll later probably is telling enough what he thinks of that. ]
Guess that's just something we'll have to wait and see about..
[ Man though, SeeD sure covers better bases on that front. But then again, it's not like airships and aircraft are much of a big thing back home in his case. So, why would they cover that, really? ..Still makes him second guess them now.
Not that he supposes it matters one way or the other if he thinks about it for too long, but.. He cuts that thought off fast. ]

But why did you need to move it in the first place?

[ Noooow he's pausing as a though pops in. ]
Wonder if Jim's world has something that big. Could you imagine how awesome that would be?

there is an in bed joke waiting to happen in here
There is only one person he can really see managing it. ]
Yeah, really! We were trained to be versatile just in case.
[ He can even operate the pressure system of a hidden research lab. SeeD covered all of it's bases. ]
Hopefully it won't be that big for other worlds.
there's always in bed jokes when it involves us
