Re: In the Land of Zu
Fixing a harness onto his back, the inquizitive mechanik tested it out again before heading up on deck with the other set('s) and the newer steam gun. He wanted to see if it would take his weight and the equipment. He'd have to be outside for that to happen. Failing that trial, at least they'd know what they could take.
Whom ever had a wingman harness on couldn't be as agile in the air as those they had gotten them from, but an advantage is an advantage after all. He took his trusty crossbow, loaded it and took a spare box. He wasn't going to be caught off guard.
"Danyka, I am ready. The harnesses seem to have a levitation effect, allowing us to float, the wings are for creating propulsion like oars on a boat. Let me demonstrate"
Francis was confident in his own abilities but he was still wary of being caught but a gust of wind. He has always been one for 'just doing it' and let the outcome justify the experiments, hence the explosion at the monastery, in the manor house, the barn catching fire etc. He always succeeded though in discovering 'something'.
Francis, being the salesman that he was made a big show of it. "Stand back, I don't want to catch anyone off guard and knock them in the drink"… He spread the wings and kept. Uuummm he thought. Try again. "That was to make you aware, now for real"…
He kept upwards, no weapons, just the winged harness and flapped the wings as he had tried when testing the apparatus. Unsteadily he rose but barely. He tried a third time, this time rising quickly into the air, astounding himself, he wove around the ship and enjoyed the freedom from the bucking, rolling motion of the ship, then went back down to the desk again. The landing could have been better but he was safe.
