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.

I think I prefer my feet close to the ground.

I guess I can't really claim anonymity back home either. Most people know who I am, or have heard rumors by now. I used to be more self-conscious about that.

I have my reasons. Are you that curious?

[in_extremis]

I mean, I have a secret identity back home, too, but that hasn't been particularly effective here. I guess I was at something of a disadvantage, with people here already knowing the secret. Tommy just tells everybody anything, don't trust him.

Wait, is it the mask that people know, or you? You can tell me the rumours, I won't Tommy it.

[tsundullahan]

Is it the superhero thing?

Tommy, I think I met him on the ship. Does he always have an attitude? He wasn't too pleased about seeing my motorcycle aboard and even threatened to throw it off the ship if it hit his plants.

Hm, it's a bit of both, I think. People see me riding through the streets, day and night. They have wild imaginations.

Wouldn't it be strange to relate rumors about myself?

[in_extremis]

He likes to keep life challenging. In this case, though, I might have to agree. Why did you have your bike on the ship?

Not strange at all. Most of the things I know about myself I read in a magazine.

[tsundullahan]

I was tired of the glitter and washed off the wheels. And I left my motorcycle in the cargo hold while I made use of the showers.

Hm. I guess when you put it that way. I'm known as the Black Rider around Ikebukurou. Sometimes I wonder if it was better keeping more to myself, but I guess I made more of an impression when I rode down the side of a building one night.]

[in_extremis]

Very cool, follow up question, why did you have your bike on the side of a building?

[tsundullahan]

I was up on the roof and was in a bit of a... mood.

[in_extremis]

I don't know you well enough to infer if that would be a good mood or a bad one. Just so we're both prepared, I'm willing to find out.

[tsundullahan]

Well, I don't think there should be a repeat, anyway. I've had a lot to think about since then. Not that any of that matters in the here and now.

[in_extremis]

I hope you're not telling me you're too mature to drive down the side of a building. I can't handle that kind of disappointment.

[tsundullahan]

Is that what this is about? I'm going to need good motivation for it, that's all.

[in_extremis]

What if I ask really nicely?

[tsundullahan]

I'm not a circus act.

[in_extremis]

Of course not.

It's more of a Las Vegas stunt show.

[tsundullahan]

This is where I hang up.

[in_extremis]

Daytona Rally exhibition?

[tsundullahan]

Call me when you actually need my services.
