Oh, I hadn't noticed your response. My bad! Post away.

Paragon's End [Modern/Fantasy/Anime/Adventure]

Ava stepped through the portal revealing her surroundings to be a somewhat cozy cabin. Before her was an... odd collection of individuals. Oh, who was she kidding, she was the one with freakin wings sprouting out of her back. However, that did not stop Ava feeling like a fish out of water among all these magic users. Having only rudimentary, self taught abilities, Ava has yet to tap into her immense power to any significant degree.

As she continued to look around, she realized she had no idea whether she was still in the Alps or in a whole other country. Regardless, she listened to Felix explain how he came to find her and why he needed her. "Yeah, I just assumed you knew me through some archives or something back at the church. Figured you were after the same thing as they were, but this.... wow.... this is really, really serious... huh...."

The gravity of the situation began to hit her. Leaving home, saving the world, all of this was starting to really sink in. Ava felt a shiver run down her spine, but refused to show any sign of nervousness. In fact, despite the seriousness of the situation, she still felt incredibly excited about finally getting out of that suffocating village.

Ava turned to the small group and smiled somewhat awkwardly. She figured that she'd at least introduce herself. "Umm.... Hello. I'm Ava Kurier. Nice to meet all of you." she said, a thick Austrian accent hanging off of each word.

I know right, I wasn't expecting so much activity at once, it's got me all fired up

I might even post tonight too just for kicks

@Skepic Yo I just realized that bigger aircraft like the bird are definitely going to need a trained copilot. I'll address that in my post, because having a reporter in the copilot seat would be asking for a crash imo

@Mercenary Lord

Ahem, May I remind you that your RPing with someone who has actually logged 160 hours of flying so far, and is on a path to become a career pilot in real life? So long as that reporter doesn't try to praise a god and crash the thing intentionally, I doubt that he could fuck it up. A pilot and co-pilot controls are linked and about all systems for an aircraft are simply replicated on both sides (usually, now it was like, a four engine heavy bomber, then yeah, there are some co-pilot specific stuff).

AKA, a co-pilot's main job is redundancy and making the pilot's life a bit easier.

You don't need to know how to fly a plane in order to yank back on a yoke if your going down. Krauss is just asking Edward to man up if the need arises during this flight and not be a little bitch.

Ava bolted to her feet and ran up the stairs of the cottage to pack her things. It was more of an attique, but it had always served as one of the few private areas Ava had. She quickly began to throw things into a duffel bag. Clothes, a few tools, a knife that her grandfather had given her long ago, but she paused when she reached for a photograph. It was one of the only three pictures her family owned, and it was of her and her family from a few years ago. This picture made her start to fully realize the gravity of her decision. She sat there for a moment, worried... conflicted.

Giving a great sigh, she grabbed the photo and gently placed it atop the rest of her things before tying up the bag and heading back down stairs. She hugged her mother and father tightly, promising them she'd see them again, not matter what. She then turned to her grandfather. He smiled and hugged her. "Ava, my dear, I may not be back here when you come home from your great adventure, but please, do not regret this for my sake. Your are about to embark on a noble deed, one of which our bloodline could never had hopped to see. Make the most of it and save whomever you can. Now go, child, and return a woman. " With a sad nod, she turned and faced Felix, wiping away a single tear.

No turning back now.

"Okay, let's go." She said, then took a brave step through the rift.

@Sir Lurksalot

Yo, Liferusher posted our collab, so feel free to come across a slowly dieing Addison. She'll probably die and you get to go through that! Yay for suffering! Just like Re:Zero!

.... Okay, I'm not going to let Addison get the shit kicked out her as much as best car Subaru did, but you get the idea!

Oh, sorry it took this long.

Deadline met *Drops mic* I'm out, bitches.

The near gracefulness of the interception was the first thing that threw Krauss off when Constance Holloway shook his hand. Krauss gave a worried chuckle and rubbed he back of his head. He only began to understand the monumental task he had before him when she spoke.

“It’s truly wonderful to finally meet you, Krauss. That was you flying earlier today? It was an absolutely fantastic display, I must say. Truly marvelous,” she said, not letting go of his hand. “I’m Constance Holloway.” there was a noticeably awkward pause before she continued. "I have a handful of crashes under my belt as well,” Krauss returned the smile, however, anyone with an expert eye could tell it was a little less genuine than the one he had given Edward.

"Likewise Miss Holloway. Any pilot who claims to have never had a crash is either lying or pretending to be one. I appreciate the compliment on my flying earlier, I only wish the Captain shared such sentiment. Alas, the man is a practical one, and a little bit of showmanship isn't something that'd he appreciated." He watched as she began to pace around the plane, as if to give her own close inspection of the aircraft.

It was becoming more and more obvious to both Krauss and now the maintenance crew who looked on that this woman did not know what she was looking for, or for that matter, what she was even looking at. However, Krauss decided he'd just play along, possible set her up for a joke even. He gave a knowing wink to the reporter and turned the woman as she finished her round about the aircraft. "Durable, rugged, yet incredibly revolutionary this machine is. It was in R&D for about.... three years or so? Yes, I believe that was the cycle. Anyway, a lot of new ideas in aerospace engineering went into this prototype, so even I am still getting a feel for her."

“Not bad, not bad. A few questionable aesthetic choices, if anything, but she seems solid enough,” Holloway said, now taking a closer look of the inside of the aircraft. Krauss gave a light chuckle and shook his head.

"Well ma'am, I'll be sure to let the designers back home know that the bird needs to be a bit more pleasing to the eyes then." He then turned to Edward. "Alright, now before we go up, there are a few things I need to talk to you about. First and foremost, double check both your safety line and belts are properly secure. I'll be doing a few maneuvers to stress test this aircraft and, in a sense, 'stretch out its legs', so we'll be banking and turning quite a bit once we get going. I don't want you to go flying out the side of the plane and hitting that water at terminal velocity. Secondly, try to remain as calm as possible if anything goes wrong. Panicking during an emergency, just like anywhere else, could mean life or death. And finally, be sure to pay close attention to what I say. It may range from some interesting sights I may spot or crucial instructions to keep us from crashing. I'm counting on you, in particular, if these events should arise." he paused for a moment, motioning back to Constance who was far more interested in the cockpit than their conversation.

"You'll be up there with me, in the co-pilot seat. Good view and I trust you to be there a lot more than I trust her." His tone was briefly dead serious, but it lightened up when he finished. Just as he did, Constance called to them from the cockpit.

"What’s the hold up, lads? If you two bum around any longer, I might just take this baby for a joyride,” she said, head disappearing back into the plane. Krauss gave a sigh, then gave a small nod and a smile to Edward.

"Best not keep the lady waiting." He walked up to the door to the co-pilot seat and opened it. "Sorry miss, but Edward here is to be the one up front today. He's got to get his stories accurate and what not. However, may I offer you.... the 'hurricane seat'?" he said in a humorously formal tone, much like a butler. He elegantly motioned to the seat in the passenger section that was right next to the side doors. While this is where the gunner would sit, the machine guns had been removed for today's flight by the crew. This did, however, leave a great, unobstructed view outside the plane. "You'll have the best view in the house, and truly get that sense of light as the wind billows past you. Just make sure your all strapped in, as I wouldn't want to pull you out the sea with a fishing net." he finished with a laugh.
