o_o''

Any landing you can walk away from? If they can still walk..

Addendum - Oh hay, it's up early.

Did Ian and Meji just arrive?

Yo. It's either that or a guest appearance by Wile E. Coyote.

Best I can figure, that IS Meji trying to slow her fall.

Though, a human(oid) falling wouldn't be quite so meteoric unless given a lot of downward thrust somehow... hmm.

[looks again]

It appears that whoever that is (c'mon, like we don't know) was making a bee-line straight for the city on the horizon there, but then sharply turned away - or was deflected away. The deflection would explain the sudden "aauugghh!" and the crashing; Ian was zipping them both down at unsafe speeds and *something* disrupted his landing, catching him off guard and crashing them into the countryside.

The Confederacy held off an invasion from Veracia, it stands to reason they've probably got some damn nice magical countermeasures of some sort.

The last existing dwarf overdesigned the mechanical bull?
Or perhaps he just likes testing out his jet engine before going to the bother of designing the airplane.

Which makes me think of Elton John's "Rocketman."

I'm sure this has some bearing on the plot, but there's really not much point in commenting on it until we wee see who it was that dropped in on Monday.

It's two people flying at a speed much, much faster than terminal velocity towards a city. I don't think it could be anyone else <i>other</i> than meji and Ian. Especially since you can clearly see one of them has dark hair and one of them has silver hair. Well, not clearly, but well enough >_>

Obviously the latest victim of Chuck Norris' roundhouse kick was hit with enough force to break the dimensional barrier.

To my now sleep-undeprived eyes, it's clearly a screaming Meji and the back of Ian's head.

Whatever she does to send everything to hell for him later (and she'll do it...), Meji just saved Ians life here. No selfish pyromanical jailbait misbreed teeny-bopper arm-leach in it mainly to suck as much power and man-juices she can out of him until he's a dessicated husk and Ian with demigod powers ends up a smear on some dirt in a wasteland a few days into his great effort. Ian's got points on that Hideki schmuck already- somebody has his back.

I thought Meji already established that people don't really have the ability to fly for more than a few minutes in this world? If so, the probability is VERY high that it's Meji and Ian... who else could it possibly be? No one else flies, and I'm betting there's no air ships to the Northern Confederacy.

Did anybody else look at this and get reminded of the last scene of the James Bond movie (I think it was "Moonraker"), where his controllers, noting that he's leaving orbit in a pod conveniently equipped with a bed where he and the inevitable Bond girl can frolic, remark, "He's achieving re-entry"?

You know, I really think that Ians going to explode. Sure, flying a few minutes, no real problem when you have god-energy as a battery, but flying like a fugging jet? Just the shield to protect you from random bits of dirt and not getting the air sucked outta your lungs would be impressive, not to mention sustaining that speed, and being able to control it to move like that...

Ians just showing off now.

Now I could be wrong here, but I don't think that's jet-propulsion, I think that's terminal velocity. With Ian unconcious and dropping like a rock from high altitude and the manuvering and the shield being Meji frantically killing velocity by changing them from a vertical to quasi-horizontal trajectory and throwing up a kinetic wall at the last second to try to make the crash-landing survivable.

That's Meji's face? Crap, she looks freaky when she is in a panic.
Also, you would think that you would get some warning signs before your flight spell fails.

My guess is that this was a confederacy town they just flew over and Ian just got shot down by a really big fucking gun when somebody thought he was an incoming missile.

Sure, how else will a little feller who can't have sex screw with people?
