In the little side garage off the carpark, Tereza is currently leafing through a book, comparing the diagrams in it to the beaten up motorcycle that leans hard on its kickstand in front of her. She frowns and then sets the book aside, starting to take the parts off the bike.

There was the sound of rapid breath intaking behind her. "Be a little delicate with that one; he looks old."

Posted: **Wed Mar 29, 2017 11:01 pm**

Tereza takes a deep sniff, trying to pick up the scent of the newcomer over the scent of old bike parts. "Most of the parts on this are junk."

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 12:07 am**

"That's a bit harsh, wouldn't you say? A little TLC, and I bet you can get it up and running again."

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 12:29 am**

"That's the general plan, but I'm probably going to have to replace some of it. It's sort of a long term project." She frowns at a particularly stubborn bolt.

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 5:56 am**

"Poor guy looks like no one's really given him the attention he needs in...a long...time," Will blinked, his skin rippling gray for a moment.

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 12:27 pm**

"You talking about the bike or this bolt in particular?" She grunts, leveraging against the bolt harder.

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 5:47 pm**

"The bike in general, I think. It's a shame to see anything get busted up like this."

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 5:51 pm**

"On the other hand, if it wasn't busted up like this, I would never have been able to afford it, so there are trade-offs." The bolt finally gives and she takes the part off.

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 6:11 pm**

Will winced a little bit.

"I suppose that's true. Is this your first cycle, or have you had experience?"

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 6:19 pm**

"Trinity and I stole a couple of bikes in Germany, so I've ridden before, but this will be the first bike I've owned."

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 7:07 pm**

"Ah, that makes him pretty special, then," Will smiled. "I've never had one myself -- I had a moped, but something tells me that's a different genre, entirely."

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 7:11 pm**

"Mopeds have their place, like pop music." She eyes the part for a bit and compares it to the diagrams in the book.

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 9:23 pm**

"And just where would that place be?" Will smiled.

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 9:57 pm**

"Eating the dust of the motorcycles and the classic rock, of course." She says, looking back at him with a smile.

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 10:03 pm**

"Yes, heaven forbid you get all popular, with people liking you and whatnot. That's just selling out, right?" he chuckled.

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 10:07 pm**

"You gotta be doing it for the love of the music, man," she says with a suppressed chuckle.

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 10:11 pm**

"What kind of music is your band going to play, anyway? I heard that you found yourself someone to beat the skins."

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 10:14 pm**

"I'm not sure. I've been letting Sam handle that. Obviously, I have my own preferences, but I'm really not sure she's decided yet."

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 10:20 pm**

"And what are your preferences? Barbershop? Disco? Baroque counterpoint?"

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 10:38 pm**

"I'm definitely more of a hard or classic rock girl."

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 11:00 pm**

"Definitely someone after my own heart, then. It's hard to go wrong with the classics...assuming the classics are the same here as they were over there."

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 11:02 pm**

"AC/DC, stuff like that?"

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 11:04 pm**

"Mostly! Too bad; I thought I just had an idea on how to make a billion dollars," Will joked.

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 11:06 pm**

"Just a billion?" She goes back to wrestling parts off the bike frame.

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 11:10 pm**

"Yeah, if the Beatles or Stones or Moppets didn't exist here, I could suddenly become quote super creative unquote."

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 11:26 pm**

"That would assume tastes in this universe are consistent with yours. I mean, it looks like they might be.

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 11:27 pm**

"As far as I can tell, most of the stuff's the same, just a few decades earlier.

Everyone's BORN all out of wonk, but that is what it is."

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 11:36 pm**

"Can't expect life to find a way there, I guess."

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 11:37 pm**

"I guess. It's just...weird.

Sam's a college kid, Sara's a mil...er, Lt. Van Buren's older... just all out of wonk. I'll be glad when the military is off campus."

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 11:42 pm**

"You're not the only one. I don't feel particularly safe with them here."

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 11:45 pm**

"Well, I've got another 'session' in about an hour. I'll try to get them whatever they need to know so they can get out," Will sighed.

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 11:49 pm**

"Hopefully they can help figure out whatever that psycho did to you."

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 11:52 pm**

"Yeah, don't hold your breath," Will sighed. "They're more interested in what the stuff is doing to me, and what the possible repercussions are if it's left here, than actually making sure I'm better."

He walked over and leaned one hand on the seat of the bike. "They still want the me from before I came here, and I'm just not fully that person anymore."

Posted: **Fri Mar 31, 2017 1:50 am**

"What do you want?"

Posted: **Fri Mar 31, 2017 2:09 am**

Will shrugged. "I don't know. It used to be a lot simpler, before Sam opened my mind. Easier to be this guy," he said, patting the seat of the motorcycle. "A clear purpose, a full tank of gas, a pretty girl wrapped around your frame... sometimes, life's too complicated."

Posted: **Fri Mar 31, 2017 2:51 am**

"I suppose you could have Sam pack everything away again. You wouldn't know, right?"

Posted: **Fri Mar 31, 2017 5:12 am**

"I suppose I could," he said, taking his hand off the engine.

"I suppose I don't really want that, though, do I? It'd be throwing away who I am just to try to please others. And not even all others. Plus, it'd be....running away. I don't like the idea of running away.

I'm sure I'll be fine in a couple days when everyone leaves and things slowly trickle back to normal...just, you know. Bad memories. Life being complex, when I want it to be simple."

Posted: **Fri Mar 31, 2017 2:00 pm**

Tereza nods, "I can certainly understand the 'wanting things to be simple' part." She gets up and grabs another wrench, offering it to him. "When that gets to be too much, I try to focus on things that *are* simple."

Posted: **Fri Mar 31, 2017 6:58 pm**

Will took the wrench, and bent down to the other side of the bike.

"You've had much room for simple the past few months?"

Xaviers!
