The biplane was a spot of yellow in the otherwise clear blue skies over the forest, and if one just glanced up, it would look like any other plane might, flying overhead. But a more careful look would reveal it was flying lower than it should be-- A fact that was proven true when the propeller hit the treetops.

It was all downhill from there, as the plane spun while crashing to the ground- Although one wouldn't hear so much as a shout from the pilot. Once the plane stopped skidding through the grass, the man simply climbed out of the now-on-its-side cockpit with a sheepish chuckle.

"Well, it wasn't my best crash, but at least no one was around to get hurt." he mused, rubbing his chin. "And hey, that means no one was around to see it, too!"

By now, Adrian was pretty well used to not having to deal with people too much in the forest. It bordered one of the largest kingdoms in the region, but tended to be so thick and full of fauna that wasn't necessarily the kindest that people tended not to stray too far into it. It made for a perfect place for him to live, secluded in the treetops yet close enough to civilization in some sort of emergency.

So imagine his surprise when a plane suddenly careens from the sky in a crash violent enough to scare birds from nearby treetops. It's only by sheer miracle that Launchpad doesn't collide with Adrian's treehouse home. Things would have been a lot worse if he had.

Too bad someone was definitely around to see it, though. Sorry, Launchpad.

"The hell!?" Adrian shouts from his window, leaning halfway out so he can look on at the turned-over airplane with its front crunched inwards like paper. Probably could have gotten a nicer welcome, but it's fine.

Adrian grips the sill of his window, a few singe marks appearing in their wake. Calm down, Adrian. You've dealt with dumbasses before...he's just not used to people coming this far into the forest. They do sometimes, yes, but normally it's a traveler heading to or from the kingdom. They're not planning on staying...

Or crashing their planes into anything.

"This is Idai Forest..." he answers through gritted teeth, "if you were headed to the kingdom, you missed it by a mile when you almost took out my place!!"

Ugh. Adrian pinches the bridge of his nose, taking a breath. Calm down, he's right. He COULD have wrecked your house...but he didn't. So he's safe. For now.

"How did you even manage that, anyway? You really don't have to fly that close to the trees, the kingdom is up in the mountains</i.."
