i'd get a thousand hugs

WHO: Rikku & you.
WHERE: A park.
WHEN: Tuesday afternoon.
WARNINGS: N/A.
SUMMARY: Rikku tries out some new tech.
FORMAT: Quick to start, but go for whatever.

[Over the years, Rikku has acquired a rather large amount of bits and pieces of machina. And, having all of those, she is bound to experiment now and then. Today, it's a miniature airship; though she's had the blueprints for a full-scale size model sitting around for a while, this is the first time she's made an attempt at building anything even close.

Rigging up a remote control had been easy enough, but building a miniature engine that didn't run on chocobo power had been a little more difficult. She's standing on a sidewalk, lips pressed together with concentration as she tries to navigate around some tree branches. She is only mildly successful.]

[She crouches down beside it, gathering the little ship up in her hands.]

You should see it full size. I mean, it's amazing!

[notadartboard]

Full size? What do you mean?

[oh good now he can really peer at it. He might not have the ZOMG LAZERS reaction of certain crewmates, but Sanji is rather impressed by the craftsmanship of such a tiny thing.]

[klutziness]

Usually, it's bigger than a commercial airplane.

[notadartboard]

Really? So this is a model, then. Was it a ship you built, or just saw?

[klutziness]

My brother and I built it together.

[notadartboard]

Your brother, huh? Wow. There's so much I don't know about you, yet, Miss Rikku. I've been woefully behind on being a good friend.

[klutziness]

Naw, it just isn't something I talk about a lot, I guess. My brother and I don't really get along all the time.

[notadartboard]

Aw, that's a shame. Brothers can be useful, or so I've heard.
