      ➥ 1. CLICHE INTRODUCTION
[ A beautiful sunny day meant not only were the birds circling overhead with song, but that the good people of this world were out and about just the same. The markets were busy with merchants and shoppers alike! The streets are full of energetic children playing with a ball between their ankles. And the sky! From up above there's a girl flailing wildly while closing in on someone pretty quick? That seems just as normal as the rest, huh? ]

Watch out! [ C R A S H ] Uwohhhhhh I didn't mean-!! Oh no. [ Her head jerks back and forth as she tries to make sense of the situation. ] Oh no!

      ➥ 2. DELIVERY TIME
[ So maybe you're one of the lucky folks who didn't have to deal with a girl flying right into your face on random. Instead, there's a crowded street and this girl is actually gliding smoothly through the air until she lands right by the door. ]

Special delivery coming through! [ The red glider wings are retracted and folded neatly to tuck under her arm while the other holds out a satchel. ] You did order this, didn't you?

[ Her face scrunches up a bit. ] Pee-hew, it stinks! You sure this is what you wanted?

      ➥ 3. CAKE IN THE RAIN
[ Congratulations, there's now an eager new hire trying to entertain herself while she waits. Pacing back and forth, slipping her arms through her shawl, and humming out loud. Sometimes the strange mammal on her shoulder will even join in with a series of loud chirps. ]

You know - like skydiving, or snowboarding. Or snowboarding with a parachute.

Thanks.
[With a helpful hand, Izuru gets up. He analyzes Amy and her equipment briefly.]

I didn't know you could fly with something like this... you're not hurt anywhere are you?

[redelivered]

[ It's not flying, she wants to correct him, but he's already asking her if she's hurt. Shaking her head no, she twirls around (somehow managing to avoid smacking anyone with the glider's wings) to show off that she's perfectly fine. ]

It's gliding on the wind so it's not technically flying. [ Facing him once more with a bright smile. ] Have you ever tried?

[herodrawing]

Tried?

[And here Izuru was being confident for a second - he managed to help a girl in trouble! Okay she technically helped him, but still. Anyway it's all in the past now as derp returns.]

No... I mean, this looks really fun but we don't have this kind of gliders where I'm from.

[redelivered]

You don't?

[ It astounds her to try to picture a world where they didn't have these. How else would they get from ship to ship? ]

I'm sorry, but what do you use to get around?

[herodrawing]

You can take a bus. Or, a shuttle!

But mostly I just walk.

[redelivered]

Whaaaaa?

[ What an incredible world it must be if they have enough land to use those kind of things. She hasn't seen a bus herself, having only experience with ships. ]

What's a shuttle?

[herodrawing]

It's like a ship. A small one.

[Don't linger on a topic that may bring questions about stuff you're not supposed to talk about! Time to find a different one...]

Ah, I'm Izuru. I'm looking for a friend. Did you see him?

[redelivered]

[ Incredible. A tiny ship!

... Wouldn't that be a boat though?

The switch works. Amy's not clever enough to realize it, but enthusiastic enough to keep a conversation going. ]

A friend? I've seen a lot of people, Izuru, so I'm not sure.

Oh--and I'm Amy by the way!

[herodrawing]

We're here on vacation, and we were supposed to watch sights together, but now he's off to somewhere.

Short, blonde hair, glasses. Likes to talk about girls and guns... mostly guns. Did you see anyone like that Amy?
