I've been learning my way around and I think I've got enough of a handle of Temba's layout to offer my services for transportation. I'm sure people have probably seen me about the city, and I'm just sorry I haven't thought to make mention earlier.

I can't transport very much- I only have a motorcycle, but I can help deliver things or give people a ride if needed. Just let me know.

What if we made you a sidecar?

Or a trailer.

Maximum efficiency.

[tsundullahan]

A trailer for a motorcycle? I think I'd rather stick with the sidecar idea.

[in_extremis]

A trailer isn't that weird.

You could handle it.

[tsundullahan]

But could it handle me?

[in_extremis]

That depends on how you prefer to be handled. I'm more than happy to accommodate.

[tsundullahan]

I'm sure you would be. Are you anticipating there will be a need to haul something that would require a trailer?

[in_extremis]

I anticipate a lot of things.

If anyone gets back to restoring buildings again, it would be a huge help. You know, like a prison maybe. That's kind of Reeve's area. You could swing by his office and see if that's in the cards.

[tsundullahan]

I have a motorcycle, not a truck. If we're talking building materials, maybe it would be better to start with making a vehicle for that kind of load.

[in_extremis]

Did you have something specific in mind when you offered your services? Or someone?

[tsundullahan]

Not really. Back home I worked as a courier. I know there's probably not much need for that here. But if someone needed something that I can manage to carry on my bike, or for some reason or another couldn't bring something to someone themselves, I could handle it.

And of course if someone just wanted a ride across town or to the train station or something.

[in_extremis]

I can see how that would be useful. I'll keep it in mind.

I hate doing it myself, so I'm glad someone will.

[tsundullahan]

Do people often ask for you to give them a lift?

[in_extremis]

Not at all. That one would be fun. Never thought to offer.

Making deliveries is the awful one. The whole interfacing part.

a motorcycle?
how do you get fuel for it?
is there more
or maybe a way i could get some?


_{[York's asking the right questions here.]}

[tsundullahan]

More...fuel?

Mine doesn't run on fuel. I wouldn't be able to tell you where to get any.

I don't suppose the spaceships have some sort of fuel?

[buildingitsir]

how does it not run on fuel
that's what motorcycles use right?
is it a different fuel?

i don't know
i haven't been to them yet

[tsundullahan]

It's...different, yes

The ships are interesting. I hadn't really thought about how they run, though. It's all very new to me.

[buildingitsir]

yeah that didn't answer the question

there's space travel where i'm from
they sent a team of androids to jupiter
where i'm from at least
but i've never been on an actual one before
where are the ships hanging out
no time like the fucking present i guess

[tsundullahan]

[Yeah, that was on purpose. So is skirting a follow-up.]

There's a hangar- do you know how to access the map function? The hangar's up in the northeastern quadrant, right at the edge of the city. I can take you over there if you'd like.

[buildingitsir]

i'm on the southeast side of the city
i wouldn't mind a ride

i can meet you over by the factories
16 & 17 i think they are

_{[He's already heading outside to the road. He wasn't about to let anyone know which place he was living in. Not yet, not intentionally.]}

[tsundullahan]

All right. By the factories, got it. I'll be there shortly.

[Aaaand she's off. She won't take more than a few minutes.]

[Action]

[buildingitsir]

dark hair
teal eyes
nyc hoodie
can't miss me

well miss me
don't hit me

_{[He's on the road, hands stuffed in the pouch of his hoodie that he's wearing. At least motorcycles are rare enough that he'll know when this person shows up.]}

[Action]

[tsundullahan]

[She'd be a difficult figure to miss even without a motorcycle, a figure clad all in black with a striking yellow helmet. There's however no rumble of an engine characteristic of a motorcycle to announce her approach, just the crunch of gravel under wheels.

She brings the bike into an easy turn that allows for plenty of space between herself and the young man waiting for her. Planting her foot on the ground, her helmeted head swivels towards York, giving him a nod.]

[buildingitsir]

_{[He's listening for a motorcycle, but frowns when he sees it but doesn't hear it. Even eco-friendly rides had some sort of noise to them. This one... didn't.]}

Quiet ride. Fuckin' weird.

_{[It didn't scan like other stuff either. Even weirder. Still, York pulls his hoodie on securely before managing to climb on behind them. It takes a little bit of effort, and a little lean to the bike, to get his shorter figure up. York's tucked against her back, hands moving to link together to hold onto her.]}

Still wanna know what fuel this uses!

[tsundullahan]

[The woman has only a few inches on him by way of height, so it shouldn't be too difficult for York. While he's busy getting himself situated she holds a black helmet out to him, visorless and a strange matte black.

She'll wait for him to take it before she slips out her tablet and types at it so she can hold up the screen for him.]

Hang on.

[And with that she's going to set off, at least once she's sure he's ready behind her again.]
