[Voice / Action]

Man, everything gets pretty crazy when these experiment-things happen, doesn't it? ....oh well.

Hey, out there! Anybody who actually knows how to fly- got any advice? How do you do it? Magic, wings, a bit of both? I'd really appreciate the help!

[Zack woke up different this morning- not to the same degree as nearly everyone else, it seems, but enough to notice pretty damn fast. Getting changed was an adventure of yelping, flailing, and finally getting himself a pair of scissors to do some surgery on his shirt- because he woke up with a pair of very different white wings stuck to one side of his back.

It's not a bad change, mind you- after dealing with Angeal and Genesis for as long as he did, he'd begun to envy their wings and ability to fly the way they did, even if they were horribly unfair about their expectations of people 8| So after giving it some thought, there was really only one thing to do:

Fly.

Thus, he will spend the majority of the day learning to flap his new wings, jumping off rooftops, baffling over how the hell Angeal and Genesis balanced themselves in the air with such one-sided wings.

...Oh, and faceplanting in the snow. He'll do a lot of that. Thank goodness for durable SOLDIER bones, eh?]

[Ellis watches as Zack faceplants in the snow, wincing. He's hesitant, but he moves forward to try and help him up.]

I don't think you're doin' that right, sir.

[Zack accepts the help without protest, grinning and looking astonishingly healthy for someone who just divebombed off a two-story building.]

Probably not! Funny, it didn't look this hard when it was someone else doing the flying.

Well, that's 'cause they had a ton a practice, and I'm guessin' you're just startin' out. [a brief pause] Did you try flappin' 'em real hard?
wingenvy: (sleep in peace)

Tried that! I think they're more the gliding-type, flapping a lot just tired me out.

[he scratches his chin] Why not try getting yourself off the ground first? Baby steps, an' all!
wingenvy: (mr blue you did it right)

...I thought that's what I was trying to do!

I'unno, man. Jumpin' off buildings ain't what I consider 'baby steps'. That's like [he purses his lips, making a funny face] toddler steps.
wingenvy: (I'm feeling chipper right now)

Well, if you gotta do something tough, do it big! Baby steps aren't really my style anyway.

If you don't mind me sayin', you kind of remind me of my good buddy Keith. He thought the same way, though it usually ended up with him in the hospital. [a pause] Well, I say start with baby steps so that you can get used to the wings [very lopsided wings].
wingenvy: (no wizard that there is or was)

Good thing I'm not likely to end up in the hospital, then! [When you're able to fall hundreds of feet with little to no ill effect... yeah, a bit crazy.] I guess I could stand to ease into it a bit, though.

Best way t'go if you ask me; I'm sure you'll get the hang of it in no time.
wingenvy: (put it in your hands)

Thanks for the advice! I'll give it a try.

[he gives zack a big dorky grin followed with a thumbs up] You can do it.

You got it, man! [And off he zooms to try another flying lesson. ...Probably not involving roofs.]
