It's a Bird, It's a Plane

Aw, shucks. It's that large, funny-talking horse dude with the winged helmet. What's he doing with that big wooden sign? Hammering it into the ground in the Forum? And, what does it say? "FREE PIGGYBACK RIDES." He can't be serious. Who would trust this huge, jolly weirdo (even if he does clean out demons like it's his day job)? The long-snouted thief of Thor's wardrobe must be nearly seven feet tall, and he's wide enough to weigh a quarter ton!

Oh, great. He's hovering. He must really be insane to expect anyone to go FLYING with him. The 'man' looks like some kind of monster. And, is he looking this way? Too late to hide...

"Wouldst thou care to take to the sky with Beta Ray Bill?" The joy of flight is apparently worth sharing. Boy, someone must be in a good mood...

((Note: any characters taking Bill up on this offer are in danger of seriously getting their hair mussed. Horse jokes may result in one unassisted flight lesson...just one))

The world was ending and cultists lit the air museum on fire. Then the blimp was on fire. What are you going to do?

(It is a pretty neat story though.)

"Then no. No I have not." It is really hard for Katsuya to understand what this guy is saying. He hasn't felt this language impaired since his high school English finals.

The world ending is always a good reason to say, 'Fuck your blimp!'

Your trepidation to fly is making Bill suspicious, Katsuya. Suspicious that you really do want to fly. He bounces, hanging on the air, inches above the ground. The big fellow really does have impeccable control.

"Then allow Beta Ray Bill to share the joy with thee; I ask only that thou enjoy it."

He should be suspicious of the officer's comprehension. Katsuya is only catching about every third word.

"Okay..?" He does not know what he just agreed to.

oh Katsuya how much must you endure :)

Aaaaaaaaaaand alien abduction is a go! No more need be said to Bill than 'Okay,' before he swoops the Japanese policeman up in his arms more easily than a child and rockets into the Nexus sky with him!

"And by what name goeth thee, stranger?" he asks his passenger, hanging on the air, 100 stories above the ground.

"What are--" And yoooink! "Nghyaaa!" His ears pop with the change in pressure and they are suddenly much much higher than they were a second ago.

Thankfully for Bills ears, he doesn't keep screaming after his initial yelp of surprise.

"Name?!" He does look kind of freaked out. "What about a name?" He's clinging rather tightly to the first thing he can get his hands around. Okay. Okay they're hovering.

This is a thing.

Does the AV field prevent him from splattering his insides to his outsides if he falls? He doesn't want to think about it.

"Thy name, my compeer!" Thankfully for Katsuya's health, Bill seems willing to at least wait until they've exchanged names before killing him with a heart attack. The horse-man is strong, though. He holds more securely than the steel of a roller-coaster.

[sumarusfinest]

"Katsuya Suou." The officer still sounds like he's fighting the urge to scream every word he speaks. And only just barely succeeding. Why are they a hundred feet up?! Oh god.

Luckily he feels secure. This actually makes Katsuya calm down quite a bit. You know, probably best not to summon his soul fire cat to attack the guy currently keeping his insides inside.

"You're...you're awfully skilled at this." please don't distract him please don't let him drop me.

[betarade_spill]

Yes, Katsuya. No need for soul fire cats. The flying cyborg alien Asgardian horse-man isn't in the business of giving folks heart attacks, so he starts moving leisurely toward the Nexus forestlands, easily visible from this high up.

"Canst thou keepeth a secret, Katsuya Suou?"
