Ze plane! Finally ze plane!

[[The typically stern, calculating, stone face of the major is broken into a girly smile. She stands beside the newly-arrived stealth fighter, long after it's pilot has sauntered off to deal with the captain, or whatever other Chalice occupants might drag her away.

Clearly, this overly happy grin is something rare for the Major... She'd even admit her cheeks here hurting! Just what in the gosh-golly heck is she so giddy about?

You appear to be in a good mood, Major.

[ It's rather refreshing. ]

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

But of course! It's been so long since I've seen anything beside mobile suits and the like!

[redfckngcomet.livejournal.com]

It's been a while since I've seen you smile, Mio.

[ And then, he gets an idea. ]

You know, that reminds me. Would you or any of the other Witches be interested in learning how to pilot a mobile suit?

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

[[See that smile. GONE! Deleted. You see, offering her an alternative to flying implies a sign of age. As far as witches go, 20 is forced retirement. 19 is pushing it.]]

What are you suggesting?

[redfckngcomet.livejournal.com]

[ He doesn't know that. So, seeing her glare is kind of a surprise. Char is somewhat taken aback by that. ]

I'm just curious. You're all very bright, and piloting a mobile suit isn't as hard as it looks once you have it down.

I prefer the freedom of my Strikers. While your offer is sound, I believe I will pass.

[redfckngcomet.livejournal.com]

That's understandable. Strikers do look fun to pilot.

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

It is, unfortunately, something someone of your age and gender won't be able to experience... short of being in possession of Decade's abilities.

[[That was... awfully specific.]]

[redfckngcomet.livejournal.com]

Can you describe it for me?

[ He's interested. ]

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

Flying?

Much like being in space with no gravity, but the blue skies and the wind blowing.

[redfckngcomet.livejournal.com]

What does it feel like to be wearing a striker unit?

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

That... is a hard feeling to describe, especially to someone who doesn't have magic.

[[She thinks on this a bit.]] You'd probably start with wearing casts up to your thigh.

[redfckngcomet.livejournal.com]

Just humor me.

[ Casts... up to his leg... ]

Does it hurt to not be able to bend your knees?

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

Not at all, but, it is something you'd have to adapt to, considering you're used to sitting in a seat. There are some foot controls in most mobile suits, aren't there?

[redfckngcomet.livejournal.com]

In most, yes. Though from what I understand, there's a new kind of cockpit Zeon R&D is looking into based on an idea I had, once. But it's still very much on the drawing board.

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

I see, but I suppose that is going off subject.

Casts on your feet and the feeling of falling without actually hitting the ground.

[redfckngcomet.livejournal.com]

That... does sound very interesting, yes.
