No good, they don't have... How does this even work? I'll stay away from it for now...

[Rummaging noises come from the journal, numerous but careful. It sounds like someone is exploring the item shop.]

I apologize for bothering everyone, but could anyone recommend objects that are helpful to a household? Specifically, objects that are necessary for a new arrival or that can keep the house organized and clean. I'm not familiar with most of the products I find here, and I'd rather not bring anything that is useless or dangerous home. I'd be most thankful for your help.

[He falls quiet, and for a few moments only the sounds of items being moved can be heard. It appears his message is over, but-]

Also, Ceodore. What blade are you currently using?

[With that, his post is truly over.]

However, if the airship has already passed by overhead, it has also probably already attacked. Could it be done before that, or would it be more complicated?

That's why you wouldn't wait for it to pass. The moment it's in front of your first cannon, you'd begin the broadside. Same as at sea. The trouble is that cannonfire arches, it doesn't stay on a true trajectory. You would have to aim a little above your target, as always, and have quite a lot of power behind it.

I think the power needed was the main issue for our engineers. Cid could probably do something about it, but the airships are his pet project. Dragging him away from them is impossible.

Additional gunpowder, strong cannons to withstand the pressure. It still leaves the problem of recoil. Still, I wouldn't think it would take ten years. Necessity alone usually provides.

If we depend on necessity, we'll not have them for decades, or until another threat from beyond the sky attacks again. I'll try to encourage it once I return, if I can remember to do so.

[There's not much that's more powerful than black powder, but he's still thinking. You can't just add gunpowder. He would think a ground or sea assault would be very effective against an air attack. Maybe because he can't imagine the navy being obsolete, ever.]

Yes, remembering. That is the trick.

Since our bodies are brought here and then returned home, I could write it on a piece of paper and always keep it on me. They might forget to take it away.
