Current location:	My quarters. I assume.
Current mood:	confused

Why?
There's a library here. I've been in it. Why didn't anyone tell me about these?

Eight hundred feet long? Crew complement of two thousand? Thirty-three knots?

I think I'm in love. Dead ships can come here as well as dead persons, yes?

Or those "planes". Or the "space shuttle". Did all that only take two hundred years? Incidentally, I'm also covered in snow. Got caught up in it on my way back to my quarters. The weather has become more insane than the Sparrow Collection today. And speaking of my quarters, which one of you ridiculous pair has interfered them? They were decently spartan before and now they look rather silly. ~~And there's a balcony...with wisterias. Really rather pleasant, I suppose.~~

[[ooc: What they look like now, obviously with Susan removed. Because that would freak him out too much.]]

	They have nothing of what you speak of in the world I come from! Those machines are... bizarre... and large. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	They are! Amazing, isn't it? The sky's the limit! In fact, apparently, Mars is the limit.. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	What you didn't look-up 'submarines'? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I did. I didn't believe it. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

I know, incredible isn't it? Iron hulls, who'd have thought it! Near impenetrable to cannon fire. Apparently if the damn thing's big enough, the buoyancy compensates and they'll float!... Ah.. you must be Mister Turner's pater. Pleased to make your acquaintance. Fine boy you've produced, if a little rash at times, speaking as one who can be rather rash myself, you understand.

	Unbelievable. And near impenetrable to cannonfire? How do they move? Where's the Sail?- -You know me? And my boy? I'm flattered sir. I'm proud of will and all that he's managed to accomplish, 'though I must agree with you sir. He does tend to be a bit of a hero. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	They're quite common in the Lower World. I've... well. I've had to do some work on several. The city decided to clean itself up today and several of us got her things to play with... ^^ Are you alright? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	As well as can be expected, Ran. At least I've an intact jaw now. You seem to have been having a rough time of it lately, though, I'm sorry to see. Got your large cat back yet? What are they like inside, please? (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	I did... the lazy little snot had invaded Jan's room and was napping. Everything's fine, though. We went hunting last night. Well, the ones I've seen the inside of were underwater, but very cramped... lots of smallish rooms and such. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Those things... You might not be excited if you lived to see what sort of warfare they were used in. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Ugh. Not one of those mincing pacifists are you, Abberline? (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Don't think I could very well be, seeing as I'm an officer of the law. But there is a difference between noble war and what those battleships were created for. The Great War made any hostilities with the Colonies and France look like mere playground squabbles. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	I'm guessing no one's told you about space stations yet? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	heart0foak 2006-08-13 10:45 pm UTC (link)
	..tell me... (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Imagine one of those space shuttles. Now imagine one of those space shuttles going out and leaving you in another large metal contraption in space for you to live in. In short, space stations: home away from earth. Except it's mostly scientific research for now. No one lives out there for the heck of it yet. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Have you found planes yet? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	heart0foak 2006-08-13 11:20 pm UTC (link)
	I have. I particularly like the Harrier, the Blackbird, and the Spitfire. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	noh_dancer 2006-08-14 02:51 am UTC (link)
	I actually got to ride in a Harrier once. It's a wierd feeling to literally have the ground drop out from under you. Oh, excuse me, I don't mean to interrupt. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	heart0foak 2006-08-14 06:59 am UTC (link)
	No interruption whatsoever. Please, tell me about it.. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Commander - parley, or whatever insidious invocation is currently in diplomatic fashion amongst your amusing little ilk. [ OOC : you probably use the word more often than I - never felt the urge to write it as 'parsley'? grin] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	heart0foak 2006-08-15 12:27 am UTC (link)
	Commander? There's a new one. But let's not mince words, eh? You're after soldiers, aren't you, angel? I keep my ear to the ground, or rather my eye to the box. Convince me that it's in a good cause. [ooc: No, my dear Ruxi, I have not] (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)
