Who: Chrysos, anyone
When: Day 89, early evening
Where: Outside HQ
What: He'd fly through the air with the greatest of ease, the daring young man on the flying---

[ so anyone observant passing by parts of the third floor windows or lower today, or possibly just romping around in the foliage outside the building, might see or hear a few things. A blur of movement swooshing through the leaves. Light, periodic thunks and scrapes of something against wood. Heavier thumps against branches, swaying them a fraction, the scrape of heels against a wall or two. The creak of a rope.

The odd muttered curse. ]

--detach, won't you, lightdamned son of a--

[ Or yelp of surprise, followed by crash crash thunkWHUMP. ]

[ blinks-- there's a moment where he tenses instinctively-- but then glances at you. ]

...

[sits on the tree branch comfortably]

I'm not going to push you off.

[ ...shrugs lightly and sits on the branch crosslegged, inspecting the mechanism in his hands. ]

Force of habit.

What is it supposed to do?

...to propel a set of grappling hooks and undo them when desired.

[ digs in a beltpouch and pulls out a screwdriver, tinkering with one side of it :T ]

Though as you can see, the second function remains somewhat imperfected.

And thus you keep throwing yourself into the trees.

...it seems reckless, I'm aware. But there's no danger of a fall I can't recover from, if that's your concern.

That makes good hearing. Your body must be very strong.

...it was something necessary of my line of work, once.

[ pockets a handful of screws and pulls the entire thing apart into two segments, examining them ]

[keeps an eye on what he's doing, just because the more he watches the more sense it makes, and that's something he can use later.]

Heights are of no consequence to Servants. Still, for those who are not so prepared for falls, your work will be more than valuable.

[ there's a coil where the rope goes, that much is obvious, and a system of wheels and gears and springs to wind it up with. The rope runs threaded through a nozzle of some kind on one end, with thin metal pipes running out from it, leading to a little tank of some kind inside the mechanism. The rest of it however just kinda looks like a mess of parts to the layman. ]

...do you teleport or fly, then?

Something in between. As I am a spirit, I simply cease to maintain a physical form and materialize again where I wish to. My agility parameter is also quite high, which helps even if I am holding my form.

It seems it would be quite an advantage in combat.

[ tinker tinker tinker ]

It could be, but generating physical form takes prana, so it isn't something to overuse. It would also be rather underhanded.
