A: Hollow Ships

[ Cloud has only ever seen one rocket before and seen space for a short period of time. After being here for a while, he wanted to go exploring towards the spaceships. Cid would have gotten a kick out of them and probably would want to know everything about it. Cloud's curiosity was mostly to venture out, look at them, maybe learn something. He's quiet as he stays outside of the ships, silently looking over the shape and make of them. ]

Shinra would have a field day with this.

[ It's a small side comment, particularly stated at no one. Cloud could be surprised by anyone willing to listen in to his private side conversations with himself out loud. He goes up to one of the doors and places a gloved hand upon it. However, the door doesn't respond nor does it open. He tilts his head to the side while lifting an eyebrow. Interesting. ]

How do you get in?

B: Network

[ When the feed comes on, Cloud's eyes are downward. He doesn't seem all that happy about recording. It's easier and quicker and harder to not hit send. ]

My name is Cloud Strife. How can someone find spare parts for a motorcycle if they ever need them?

[ A question that may be relevant. He pauses a little as his eyebrows knit towards the center. Cloud has to continue to make connections even here. So, he's going to also offer in the help he's been used to doing back home. ]

Does anyone need or want someone to make deliveries?

C: Wildcard

[ Want to do something not listed? Go for it! He'll be hanging around the hotel. Maybe you can catch him around on his motorcycle since he will be driving slowly with it at first. PM me if you want to hash out or discuss anything. ]

You'd have a line for motorcycle rides and yeah, yeah, fuel problem.

[He's still hanging on, by the way. Maybe he's expecting another circuit.]

I guess these are valid concerns. Outside of some light-shy bugs, I'm not sure what all else is out there that might have it out for us. Haven't gotten around to going out that far yet.

[backoff]

You're not a complete idiot. [ He was wondering if he had to say it for Cayde. It would be a problem. He wouldn't mind offering rides it's the fuel that would be an issue. ]

Light-shy bugs? [ Cloud shrugs, maybe Cayde might get a ride into the city or to his bar. ] I guess it's something to think about.

[deal_me_in]

I try.

[It wouldn't be as fun as speeding around, but hey!]

They're big bugs. Get real gooey too. I think I got rid of most of 'em though.

Well, once you figure out your fuel, give me a call and we'll go do some recon or something! It'll be fun.

[backoff]

If they show up again I guess we know who to blame. [ It's a small tease but also truthful. Cloud gives a nod to the next sentence. ]

I'll hold you to that. Are you ready to go home or... [ He looks down at the gauge. It should be fine for a few more laps plus he doesn't have to drive it all the time. ] a few more laps?

[deal_me_in]

[He opens his mouth, then shuts it again. Yeah, time to switch subjects!]

Ooh! Again, again!

[Really Cayde, how old are you.]

[backoff]

[ Yes, how old are you really Cayde? Cloud is quick to start back up again with the laps. He goes a lot faster this time versus a more gradual speed. At least he can have some fun while also testing it out a bit with someone on it. The weight isn't too bad and the roads out here are familiar with some terrain he's used to driving on. He'll need to map out the cliffs and mountain areas. That'll be for another time though. ]

[deal_me_in]

[Nothing wrong with having a little fun, and the way he sees it, this place has been sorely lacking for it. Cayde lets out another whoop as they go for a few more laps. At least one of them is watching the fuel, and thankfully he's the one driving.]
