Rusty as anything!

[fearsomebrowmop]

So, wait...

How did I get here, again? You do know that takin' a pilot when he's pilotin' is a bit dangerous, right?

[breaks_pots]

What's a pilot?

[fearsomebrowmop]

Seriously? Tell me you're kidding.

[breaks_pots]

[He shook his head 'no' and leaned forward curiously. Eyes wide as he waited for an answer.]

[fearsomebrowmop]

What sort of a kid hasn't heard of a pilot?

We fly ships.

[breaks_pots]

[His eyes go as wide as plates.]

You fly boats?

[fearsomebrowmop]

Yeah. [He eyes Link's surprised expression]

Ain't that exciting.

[breaks_pots]

I've never seen a boat fly!

[Are you kidding? That's freaking amazing!]

How do you do it without wings? Is it a magic song?

[fearsomebrowmop]

[Okay, this kid was starting to freak him out a bit.]

Never seen a flyin' boat? Where've you been living? Underground on some moon somewhere?

[breaks_pots]

[Link frowned, recognizing the tone as one of mockery. It may have just been disbelief, but that's not how Link took it. He gave the man a cold look.]

Hyrule. Birds fly there. Not boats.

Oh look! A fellow pilot!

[sarcasticpelican]

Tell that stuff about piloting to MY Mun.
Take me right out of my ship, why doesn't she?

[fearsomebrowmop]

I know! It's not as if piloting a spaceship is important or anything!

[sarcasticpelican]

And I was in the middle of a mission!
At least let me finish...

[fearsomebrowmop]

Yeah? Well, we weren't in the middle of a job, but he knows that Serenity is better off with me on the stick.

[sarcasticpelican]

I don't think I've heard of a ship under that name.
It kind of sounds like one of the fancy-named things the UNSC would use though.

[fearsomebrowmop]

UNSC? Never heard'a 'em. We're not Alliance, either. Freelance.

I should mention shes a pilot for a secret program called Project Freelancer. :P

[sarcasticpelican]

I've never heard of the Alliance.
[a pause]

And I guess you can say I kind of did similar work.

/this is Jorge's mun, by the way. Blaze off Plurk. :3

[fearsomebrowmop]

Wait. This mun guy's mumbling on about different universes or something.

Either way, yeah, you've probably done similar jobs.

[bloodedsakura]

Ugh that's as bad as being taken... wait no I think I like bein' ripped from a shoot out with an alien creature that totally out guns me. And before it destroyed Lucy too. *Said Lucy is the black guitar she's so not hugging like a teddy bear*

[fearsomebrowmop]

Well, at least it had some benefit for ya.

I mean, it's not like we're in the middle of the job or anything, but I was doing something important!

['cause playing with dinosaur figures is important.]

[bloodedsakura]

*Dude Dinos ARE ALWAYS Important!*

you really have a space ship? Because most of the ones where I'm from were destroyed in the last war. Sucks too, the old data disks we do find show Earth was amazing, would be cool to see if there's other places like it out there.

[fearsomebrowmop]

[Always]

*Zhēn de ma? You have datadisks on Earth-That-Was? That's pretty cool. They'd fetch a fair price

And Serenity ain't mine, but I'm the only one who flies her right.

*translation: Really?

[bloodedsakura]

Well I don't have the disks anymore. Cap took them but I do have the information they held. Recorded it when we looked them over. Sometimes I love my Cyke's hardware.

Still it's a ship. I just have a bike. Cap Jamil used to have a ship actually. But... he says the pilot's not ready yet. Something about needing to age a little more. I hope they hurry and get ready I want to see the stars. He promised he'd take me since I'm the only one that can keep our units running.

*What she doesn't know is she is the pilot. The ship's experimental and Mira's the only one that can 'talk' to the engines to get them to work.*

[fearsomebrowmop]

Well, there's nothing special about Serenity. She's just an old Firefly transport ship.

[bloodedsakura]

I don't remember that class...

Though most of the ships I've memorized are military class, well military class fighters. Valkarie, the space fortress it's self, that's Macross, because that's the island it crashed on.

[fearsomebrowmop]

... Never heard of it. It Alliance?
