[Look up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's--

A guy on a flying horse!

Sparks had gotten a call that there was something out in the Dream Width they were pretty sure was for him. Considering how much Sparks liked to complain about the inferiority of chocobos to rocket steeds to anyone who'd listen, there was no doubt who Mercury belonged to. And now, for the second time in both of their lives, Sparks and Mercury got to show off together.

Vaikuntha was larger than Mars in the sense that there was a whole lot more on Vaikuntha than Sparks's adoptive home planet. So while Mercury was fast and well-traveled, there were going to be a lot more stops along the way to stop at in their little impromptu world tour. Besides, Sparks didn't have that much time to waste, he had a job and all. Still, you'll probably find him flying over your town today, causing a scene, and eventually landing to get Mercury some food/fuel and rest. And also to maybe find out where the hell they are now.

Sparks gives Mercury an apple from his bag as he looks over his Slate's maps. Up close, Mercury is all horse until you get to the back legs, which are all mechanical. Vaikunthan locals are fascinated.]

Okay, so now we're in... uh... Where're we?

-Baiken happened to be nearby, the ruckus of Sparks landing having stirred her from a sake-induced nap. Well wasn't that an interesting sight... She approached with a tired swagger, though still having enough dexterity to pull out her pipe, stuff it, and light it with her usual skill, placing it between her lips with a curious hum.-

That's a hell of a ride you got there, cowboy...

[Kenichi was just on the outskirts of Sparks Golsaucia with his chocobo when he saw Sparks and Mercury. The two approached the lost duo.]

Afternoon, Marshall. That's quite an interesting horse you have there.

[Whoooaaaa it's a...a horse? You might've passed by Yue in the air, his harpy wings not being jet-powered, but eventually he'll make a landing near the pair. Approaching!]

Is this a horse? What happened to its legs? How'd you get it to fly?

[A horse. That man is riding a half-mechanical horse. A flying half-mechanical horse, no less. She'd seen many a contraption in her time with Garlemald, but none so conspicuous.]

And what, pray tell, is this monstrosity?
